In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an assistance mechanism tracks a plurality of time intervals between a plurality of input events. Each input event of said plurality of input events is generated by a user physically manipulating an input device at a client. Based on the plurality of time intervals, the assistance mechanism dynamically determines a threshold period. Then the assistance mechanism determines whether a subsequent input event has been generated within said threshold period. In response to determining that an input event has not been generated within said threshold period, the assistance mechanism may cause information to be displayed at the client.
