Abstract
The invention relates to a device (1) with an interaction dependent user interface (2). Particularly a value of a parameter of an object (5) of the interface is dependent of the user activities, i.e. an object of the interface behaves differently in dependence of how fast the user is navigating and how frequent selections are made. In one embodiment, the user interface comprises a menu (3) of selectable items (4). The function is defined such that the value of the parameter is increased by an increment every time the user selects a new item and the increment is decaying with time, the value of the parameter varying between a maximum and a minimum value.
