Enhanced contextual user assistance
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- (a) receiving a query including a selection of an aspect of an electronic device through a first user interface associated with the electronic device;
(b) sensing a context of the electronic device; and
(c) providing an assistance correlating to the query and the sensed context through a second user interface associated with the electronic device,wherein the first user interface includes an element of the electronic device in a first state and the second user interface includes the element of the electronic device in a second state.

Abstract
In an approach, an exemplary method includes receiving a query related to an electronic device through a first user interface associated with the electronic device, sensing a context of the electronic device, and providing an assistance correlating to the query and the sensed context through a second user interface associated with the electronic device. In another approach, an exemplary system includes an electronic device having a context sensor, a first and a second user interface, and instructions. The instructions cause the electronic device to receive a query related to the electronic device through a first user interface associated with the electronic device, receive a context of the electronic device from the context sensor, and provide an assistance corresponding to the query and the context of the electronic device through a second user interface associated with the electronic device.
