Abstract
Along with the development of new computer input/output devices and with the diversification in computer users (both laymen and experts, beginners and skilled technicians, and so on), there is a growing demand for highly functional man-machine interfaces. And this interface is required to closely resemble the communication between man and man. To realize this, the machine may be made to possess man’s common knowledge, making implicit communication possible. Or the conversational expressing power between man and machine must be greatly reinforced. Visual interface is intended to be highly instrumental in adopting this latter approach.
