Abstract

An automated programming system that includes configuring the automated programming system to include an input module, a programming module, and an output module. Employing a non-text user interface system for real-time representation of the input module, the programming module and the output module.

Claims

1. An automated programming system comprising:

configuring the automated programming system to include an input module, a programming module, and an output module; and

employing a non-text user interface system for real-time representation of the input module, the programming module and the output module.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

controlling the automated programming system with the non-text user interface system.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

employing the non-text user interface system for real-time representation includes modeling an input device receptacle with an input device receptacle image.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

employing the non-text user interface system for real-time representation includes modeling socket adapters with socket adapter images.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

employing the non-text user interface system for real-time representation includes modeling an output device receptacle with an output device receptacle image.

6. An automated programming system comprising:

providing a non-text user interface system for real time image representation modeling of an input device receptacle, socket adapters, and an output device receptacle; and

communicating with the automated programming system through the non-text user interface system.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

communicating with the automated programming system includes job selection control.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

communicating with the automated programming system includes programming control.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

communicating with the automated programming system includes device and hardware detection.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

programming unprogrammed programmable devices or media.
