First Claim
1. A method for controlling the display of items of information in an optical display installation in a program-controlled apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- storing in a memory items of information to be displayed and a currently displayed item of information, said items of information having first and second information parts, said first information part comprising information which is specific to processes undertaken via the apparatus, said second information part comprising information that is not specific to a process undertaken via the apparatus including a menu and at least indicates a process which is configured to be executed via the apparatus and which the apparatus is configured to execute;
allocating display priority levels to the items of information; and
displaying an item of information with a higher priority level with a higher priority in relation to an item of information with a lower priority level, wherein, the priority level of a displayed item of information is changeable, and in a given technical state of the apparatus, items of information with different priority levels comprise the same second information part.
