David W. Hoard - Escondido CA, US

Assignee:

Belkin Corporation - Compton CA

International Classification:

G09F 1/00

US Classification:

4012401

Abstract:

An instruction-wielding apparatus () comprises two or more interaction points (), an instruction-holding mechanism (), and one or more on-product instruction cards () capable of being supported by the instruction-holding mechanism. At least a first one of the on-product instruction cards () comprises two or more instruction steps () and two or more instruction pointers (). When the instruction-holding mechanism supports the first one of the on-product instruction cards, a first one of the instruction pointers () points to a first physical location () of a first one of the interaction points (), and correlates it to a first one of the instruction steps (). At the same time, a second one of the instruction pointers () points to a second physical location () of a second one of the interaction points (), and correlates it to a second one of the instruction steps ().
