Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and related method in which one or more modules are arranged and configured for determining in a device an operational context of a given functionality, providing in response to the determined operational context one or more operative sub-functionalities for selection associated with the determined operational context, and hinting at one or more one next probable operative sub-functionalities of the one or more operative sub-functionalities associated with the determined operational context. In one embodiment, at least one next probable operative sub-functionality is communicated via a suitable alerting mechanism, wherein the suitable alerting mechanism is a first text menu list of suggested operative sub-functionalities available for selection, the first text menu list being shown on a display in response to a chosen desired operational context. In another embodiment, the suitable alerting mechanism comprises one or more selection hinting indicators configured and arranged for activation each of which is associated with a next probable operative sub-functionality.
