1. An additional user interface incorporated into a native system, the additional user interface comprising:
- a multi-media capable display screen, wherein the display screen presents at least one of one or more output data files; and
an embedded processor that employs an internal operating system and communicates with the native system, wherein the embedded processor reads context data of the native system, interprets the context data, selects the at least one of the output data files based on the context data, and presents the selected one or more output data files on the display;
whereby the display screen increases user interaction by providing an enhanced message regarding a state of the native system.

Abstract
A general purpose additional user interface for enhancing user interaction with a native system is disclosed. The additional user interface includes a display, a memory and a processor. A plurality of output data files are stored in the memory. A connection capable of receiving context data from the native system is provided. The processor reads the context data received from the native system, and matches the context data with one or more of the output data files for presentation on the display. An audio device is provided for presenting output data files that are sound files.
