Abstract
An interaction engine (4) monitors the use of a mobile telephone (1) and applications running on the mobile telephone (1) by a user, and provides information regarding those interactions to a user expertise calculation module (7). The user expertise calculation module (7) then uses that information to determine a current level of expertise of the user of the device. The interaction engine (4) uses the determined level of user expertise to determine a set of user prompts to be used for the current user. The selected set of prompts is provided to a prompt selection module (6) of the interaction engine (4). The prompt selection engine (6) selects a prompt from the provided set of prompts based on the current status of the application or the user'"'"'s interaction, which prompt is then provided by the interaction engine (4) via a speech engine (2) or visual user interface elements (3) automatically to the user.
