Abstract

One or more features of varying complexity are available with a wireless communications device. A controller in the device determines a user's skill level at operating one or more of the features, and selectively activates the features appropriate for the skill level. The controller also activates a tutorial associated with a selectively enabled feature to teach the user how to operate the feature. As the user gains experience with the selectively enabled feature, the controller selectively enables more complex features and activates their associated tutorials.
