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 representing a new user interface;
detecting a selection by a user of a tutorial function via the first user interface;
in response to detecting user selection of the tutorial function, replacing the first user interface with a at least partially disabled second user interface representing a previously used interface that is different from the first user interface;
detecting a user selection of at least one user-selectable function via the second user interface to perform a selected task, wherein the at least one user-selectable function comprises at least one step performed by the user in order to perform the selected task in the at least partially disabled second user interface and the at least partially disabled second user interface does not execute the selected task; and
providing the user with tutorial information regarding at least one corresponding user-selectable function in the first user interface to execute a substantially similar task to the selected task, wherein the at least one corresponding user-selectable function comprises at least one step performed by the user in order to perform the substantially similar task in the first user interface and the at least one corresponding user-selectable function in the first user interface differs from the at least one user-selectable function in the second user interface.

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.

10. A portable electronic device having at least a first and a second mode of operation, wherein the first mode of operation comprises an ordinary mode of operation and the second mode of operation comprises a user interface tutorial mode of operation, the portable electronic device comprising:
-
a first user interface representing a new user interface and comprising a plurality of user-selectable functions; a user interface tutorial mode of operation selector; wherein the user interface tutorial mode of operation comprises, upon detecting a selection by a user of the user interface tutorial mode of operation selector; replacing the first user interface with a at least partially disabled second user interface representing a previously used interface that is different from the first user interface; and upon detecting a user selection of at least one user-selectable function via the second user interface perform a selected task, wherein the at least one user-selectable function comprises at least one step performed by the user in order to perform the selected task in the at least partially disabled second user interface and the at least partially disabled second user interface does not execute the selected task, providing the user with tutorial information regarding at least one corresponding user-selectable function in the first user interface to execute a substantially similar task to the selected task, wherein the at least one corresponding user-selectable function comprises at least one step performed by the user in order to perform the substantially similar task in the first user interface and the at least one corresponding user-selectable function in the first user interface differs from the at least one user-selectable function in the second interface. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
