As can be seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7, when the large classification data is input from the input unit, the small classification data included in the large classification data is displayed on the display unit, and in this state, the small classification data is input to the predetermined classification data. It was supposed to be processed.

[0003]

However, such a conventional device has a problem that it cannot deal with, for example, a device that executes business processing by inputting information in three or more steps. For this reason, for example, it is possible to input information in three or more steps by looking at the operation manual. However, doing so makes the operation confirmation cumbersome and causes an erroneous operation. In particular, an operator who is unfamiliar with the operation may not be able to confirm the operation smoothly, which may result in frequent erroneous operation.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when predetermined instruction processing is executed by inputting instruction data in three or more steps, if it is necessary to input instruction data at each step, all the next input data can be input. It is an object of the present invention to provide a work processing apparatus capable of displaying the instruction data of (1) on the screen and reliably performing the work execution work even by an inexperienced operator.
