A method, a computer program product, and a device that includes one or more processors, a touchscreen, and an operating system. A first dialogue interface is displayed on the touchscreen for receiving user commands by a user touching the dialogue interface. Received user commands are ignored for a defined first period of time in response to the operating system causing a generation of a second dialogue interface on the touchscreen, wherein the defined first period of time is a function of a user interaction with the touch screen by the user.

The one or more physical interactions are tracked. A familiarity profile for each of the one or more physical interactions is generated based on the respective predefined dimensions for each of the one or more physical interactions. The software program is customized based on the familiarity profile for each of the one or more physical interactions.
