the linear display is changed in accordance with progress of the processing operation the segments in the linear display representing a future step a current step and a completed step have different appearances therefore the user is always oriented to where he is at in a multiple step process and knows how many steps remain application_number US 73697707 A description the subject application is directed to a system and method for task sequence progress tracking in particular the subject application is directed to generating a user interface for an operation that involves multiple steps more particularly the subject application is directed to a system and method for task sequence progress tracking which allows for efficiently and effectively displaying on a graphical display a chain of steps with emphasis on the step the user is currently interacting it will become apparent to those skilled in the art that the system and method described herein are suitably adapted to a plurality of varying electronic fields employing user interfaces that require more than one step of user interaction including for example and without limitation communications general computing data processing document processing or the like the preferred embodiment as depicted in fig1 illustrates a document processing field for example purposes only and is not a limitation of the subject application solely to such a field turning now to fig1 there is shown an overall diagram of the system 100 for task sequence progress tracking in accordance.
