designated by reference numerals 403, 404, etc., and data icons,
which are associated with and disposed within a node icon such as
404, are designated by reference numeral 402. The present
invention permits the user to describe or specify the links by
drawing a link graphic, e.g., an arrow, between a data icon of one
screen to a node icon of another screen. This is illustrated in
Figure 4, where the top left data icon of the node icon 404
corresponding to SCENE_1 is linked to the node icon 403
corresponding to SCENE_2 with an arrow 405. As a result, the
hyperlink structure can be viewed at a glance and the scenario-
editing person can understand the structure of the scenario
visually and intuitively, thereby improving the working efficiency
of the editing work.
The following claim further illustrates the invention.
