Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer storage medium comprising instructions for displaying media content of an electrical connector comprising a plurality of pins that is referenced in technical documentation for an item via an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access to the technical documentation for the item via an IETM viewer, the instructions being configured to cause one or more processors to at least perform operations configured to:
provide a sign-in window for display via the IETM viewer being executed on a user computing entity operated by a user, wherein (a) the user provides (i) input of a selection of a dataset corresponding to the technical documentation, (ii) input of a selection of a unit displayed for a selectable unit field, (iii) input of a selection of an object displayed for a selectable object field, and (iv) input of a user credential, and (b) a sign-in mechanism authenticates for access to the IETM and signs the user into the IETM using the user credential, the dataset, the selection of the unit displayed, and the selection of the object displayed that were provided in a message;
provide a window for display via the IETM viewer executing on the user computing entity being used by the user signed into the IETM, wherein (1) the window comprises (a) a first view pane displaying textual information comprising an identifier associated with the electrical connector, and (b) a second view pane, and (2) the identifier associated with the electrical connector is selectable, and (c) the window is configured to display the first view pane and the second view pane on non-overlapping portions of the window;
receive input of a selection of the identifier associated with the electrical connector, wherein the selection of the identifier associated with the electrical connector is performed by the user via the IETM viewer;
responsive to receiving the input of the selection of the identifier associated with the electrical connector:
generate a preview connector window associated with the electrical connector, wherein the preview connector window comprises pin information identifying the plurality of pins associated with the electrical connector;
provide the preview connector window for display via the IETM viewer, wherein the preview connector window is superimposed over at least a portion of the first view pane or the second view pane; and
provide the media content for display on the second view pane, wherein the media content illustrates the electrical connector and the plurality of pins;

receive input of a selection of a first pin of the plurality of pins from the pin information or the media content, wherein the selection of the first pin of the plurality of pins is performed by the user using a first selection mechanism via the IETM viewer;
responsive to receiving the input of the selection of the first pin of the plurality of pins using the first selection mechanism, interactively cause (a) the first pin to be displayed as highlighted in the media content on the second view pane using a first highlighting format, and (b) textual information associated with the first pin to be displayed in a first emphasized format;
receive input of a selection of a second pin of the plurality of pins from the pin information or the media content, wherein the selection of the second pin of the plurality of pins is performed by the user using the first selection mechanism via the IETM viewer; and
responsive to receiving the input of the selection of the second pin of the plurality of pins using the first selection mechanism:
interactively cause (a) the second pin to be displayed as highlighted in the media content on the second view pane using the first highlighting format, and (b) textual information associated with the second pin to be displayed in a second emphasized format; and
cause the pin information identifying each remaining pin of the plurality of pins that is not the first pin or the second pin to be displayed on the preview connector window in a deemphasized format.
