Abstract
A computer system and method of operation thereof are provided that allow interactive navigation and exploration of logical processes. The computer system employs a data architecture comprising a network of nodes connected by branches. Each node in the network represents a decision point in the process that allows the user to select the next step in the process and each branch in the network represents a step or a sequence of steps in the logical process. The network is constructed directly from the target logical process. Navigation data such as image frame sequences, stages in the logical process, and other related information are associated with the elements of the network. This establishes a direct relationship between steps in the process and the data that represent them. From such an organization, the user may tour the process, viewing the image sequences associated with each step and choosing among different steps at will.
