SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING CONTEXT SENSITIVE HELP FOR A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A context sensitive help system for a graphical user interface comprising:
- means adapted for generating display data corresponding to a display having a plurality of indicia, each indicia corresponding to at least one functionality of an associated information processing device;
means adapted for receiving selection data corresponding to a selected indicia from the plurality thereof;
means adapted for receiving a touch down signal corresponding to a tactile exertion of positive physical pressure;
means adapted for receiving duration data corresponding to a duration of tactile exertion of positive physical pressure; and
trigger means adapted for triggering a display of data corresponding to functionality of the associated information processing device corresponding to a selected indicia in accordance with received selection data and received duration data.

Abstract
The subject application is directed to a system and method for generating context sensitive help for a graphical user interface. Display data corresponding to a plurality of indicia is first generated on an associated display, each indicia corresponding to a functionality of an associated information processing device. Selection data is then received corresponding to a selected indicia from those displayed. A touch down signal is then received corresponding to a tactile exertion of positive physical pressure. Duration data representing the duration of the exerted positive physical pressure is then received. A display of data associated with the functionality of the information processing device is subsequently triggered in accordance with the selected indicia corresponding to the received selection data and the received duration data.
