The animation display controller to interpret a scenario description managed by a scenario description manager. According to the interpretation, it reads an animation display unit from an animation display unit manager and displays time series data of animation display units through a plurality of windows opened on a display. As a result, related animation images are displayed on the display in the multiple window format. The animation display controller also performs a backward process of animation display units included in transit-in-time-series at a user's request according to managing data input unit, a user can edit an animation display unit managed by the animation display unit manager and a scenario description managed by the scenario description manager. Specifically, the scenario description editor graphically edits scenario descriptions.

The present invention relates to an animation display processor for displaying animation through a plurality of windows on a display.
Recently, many technologies for displaying animation on a display of a workstation, etc. have been developed.
Among the prior art technologies of such animation display processes, the most popular method is to generate an image as a bit map, etc. on a screen in a time series based on a predetermined time unit and to sequentially display generated images on a display. In this case, the animation is displayed independently through each window on the display.
Other objects and features of the present invention can be easily recognized by referring to the attached drawings and the embodiments described in this specification.
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the principle of the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows the total configuration of an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 1 is for explaining the principle of the present invention;
A Data processor 1 performs an animation display process. A data input unit 2 is used to input a scenario description for displaying animation. A man-machine interface (MMI) 3 is connected to the data processor 1 and data input unit 2.
The data processor 1 comprises an animation display unit manager 4 and a scenario description manager 5 each being realized by an auxiliary storage device, etc., an animation display controller 6, an animation history manager 7, an operation mode controller 8, and an interface 9.
