A memory stores first operational data associated with first context data and a first device, the first operational data indicative of how a given user action is performed at the first device to implement a given function defined by the first context data. A controller receives data indicative of a user action at a second device; when the data does not correspond to a respective function at the second device, and when current context data of the second device corresponds to the first context data of the first device, an intended function for the user action is identified by comparing the data with the first operational data. When a correspondence occurs, operational information indicative of how to implement the given function at the second device is retrieved and provided at one or more notification devices. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device comprising: a memory storing first operational data associated with first context data and a first device, the first operational data indicative of how a given user action is performed at the first device to implement a given function in a given context defined by the first context data;
