A user's proficiency level of operation of a user apparatus is determined with higher accuracy. Acquisition unit acquires service contract information of a user using the apparatus. Determination unit determines the user's proficiency level of operation of the user apparatus based on service contract information acquired by acquisition unit. Trigger determination unit determines whether or not there has been an event (called a trigger) that triggers display of a hint to the user using the apparatus. If it is determined by trigger determination unit that a trigger has occurred, display control unit displays, on a display means, a hint corresponding to the trigger and the proficiency level determined by determination unit.

A method is provided for diagnosing and assessing potential faults with a mobile device. Based on device status data acquired from the mobile device and aggregated device status data from other mobile devices, potential faults with the mobile device may be diagnosed, and the impact of such potential faults may be evaluated. A corresponding system, apparatus, and computer program product are also provided.

A method is provided for diagnosing and assessing the status of a mobile device. Device status data acquired from a mobile device may be compared to benchmark values to diagnose potential faults with the mobile device. The potential faults with the mobile device, in connection with a determined probability of resolving at least one potential fault, are used to evaluate and determine the status of the mobile device. A corresponding system, apparatus, and computer program product are also provided.

A mobile device is described. The mobile device includes an application installed thereon. The application is configured to communicate with a smoking substitute device, wherein the application is configured to: instruct a user to perform an operation at the smoking substitute device; verify whether the operation has been correctly performed by the user at the smoking substitute device; and inform the user whether the operation has been correctly performed.

The present invention is to provide a system that is capable to interface with an automated voice response (IVR) system for existing phone calls and to display voice messages of an IVR by texts. The system for providing information 1 of the present invention includes a terminal 10 and an automated voice response system 80. The control unit 20 of the terminal 10 performs the activation module 21 to activate the display program 41 that is to display the voice message provided from the automated voice response system 80 on the image display unit 70 when making a call to the automated voice response system 80 through a phone. Then, when the voice message display module 23 is operated, the image display unit 70 displays the voice message provided from the automated voice response system 80 to the terminal 10.

Systems and methods using one or more processors of a user electronic device for receiving user interactions and sending data related to those user interactions to another device. This may include receiving input comprising an interaction with the user device, identifying an application installed on the user device to which the interaction is directed to, and sending data over a network comprising an indication of a model of the user device, an identifier of the application, and an indication of the interaction. Sending the data may initiate one of a video playback, a tutorial, a demonstration, or a simulation, based on the data, on a device different than the user device. In some arrangements, the interaction is directed to a process running on the user device instead of an application.

An image determination method includes acquiring operation information concerning operation by a first user in a state in which an image including a plurality of item images is displayed; and, when detecting, based on the operation information, a state in which the first user cannot determine on which item image among the plurality of item images the first user performs operation, determining, based on operation history information, at least one item image to be recommended as a target on which the first user perform operation among the plurality of item images, the operation history information being information concerning an item image which has been a target of operation performed by at least one of the first user and a second user different from the first user in the state in which the image including the plurality of item images is displayed.

A method is provided for diagnosing and assessing the status of a mobile device. Device status data acquired from hardware components of the mobile device, such as sensors associated with the touch screen, accelerometer, and network signal strength sensor, may be compared to benchmark values associated with the hardware components to evaluate and determine the status of the mobile device. A corresponding system, apparatus, and computer program product are also provided.

A user's proficiency level of operation of a user apparatus is determined with higher accuracy. Acquisition unit acquires service contract information of a user using the apparatus. Determination unit determines the user's proficiency level of operation of the user apparatus based on service contract information acquired by acquisition unit. Trigger determination unit determines whether or not there has been an event (called a trigger) that triggers display of a hint to the user using the apparatus. If it is determined by trigger determination unit that a trigger has occurred, display control unit displays, on a display means, a hint corresponding to the trigger and the proficiency level determined by determination unit.
