METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAPPING CORRESPONDING FUNCTIONS IN A USER
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- in a portable electronic device;
presenting a first user interface;
detecting user selection of a first function via the first user interface;
in response to detecting user selection of the first function, replacing the first user interface with at least a partially disabled second user interface that is different than the first user interface;
detecting a user selection of at least one user-selectable function via the at least a partially disabled second user interface to provide a selected user-selectable function;
providing the user with information regarding at least one corresponding user-selectable function in the first user interface that comprises a substantially similar function as the selected user-selectable function.

Abstract
A first user interface is presented (101) within a portable electronic device. The selection of a first function by the user via the first user interface is then detected (102). In response to detecting (102) the user'"'"'s selection of the first function, the first user interface is then replaced (103) with at least a partially disabled second user interface that is different from the first user interface. A user selection of at least one user-selectable function in the second user interface is then detected (104). After the function is detected, the first user interface provides (105) the user with information regarding at least one corresponding user-selectable function that comprises a substantially similar function as the selected user-selectable function from the second user interface.
