Abstract
A method for providing a user interface for a device (300) includes determining a capability of a remote device, selectively enabling at least one of a plurality of different control structures (404, e.g., 302, 310, etc.), each with corresponding visual indication (406) of connectivity status based on a connection occurring and determined capability of the remote device. The method may also include selectively enabling a second control structure (404, e.g., 302, 310, etc.) of the plurality of different control structures, the second control structure also with corresponding visual indication (406) of connectivity status. The method may also include selectively disabling at least one of the plurality of different control structures (404, e.g., 302, 310, etc.) with corresponding visual indication (406) of connectivity status based on a change in a connection status. Furthermore, a device 300 may implement the disclosed methods.
