Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus for enabling function identification to allow an end-user verify that a identified function is a desired function prior to activation or implementation thereof. A signal is sent from an initiating control to a receiver for identifying a particular function associated with the initiating control. An end-user is notified of this identified function and determines if the identified function is a desired function prior to activation thereof. If it is the desired function, the end-user may actuating a control associated with the initiating control to activate the function. If it is not the desired function, the end-user may stop the process or select another initiating control for repeating the process.
