Selectable State Machine User Interface System

A system that facilitates navigating within an application state machine, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a user interface store that retains a plurality of user interfaces that are each associated with a navigation input mechanism;
• a user interface selection component, executed by the processor, that facilitates selecting one of the plurality of user;
• and
• a user interface component, executed by the processor, that conveys a distinct set of prompts and menus associated with each user interface, wherein the distinct set of prompts and menus associated with each user interface change based on the navigation input mechanism.

A computer-readable medium having a set of instructions which when executed performs a method for facilitates navigating within an application state machine, the method executed by the set of instructions comprising:

• presenting, upon first entry into the application state machine, a default user interface mechanism of a plurality of user interface mechanisms;
• enable, at any point within the application state machine, user interaction with any one of a plurality of user interface mechanisms that facilitate navigating through the application state machine, each of the plurality of user interface mechanisms being associated with a different navigation input mechanism of a plurality of navigation input mechanisms and having a distinct set of prompts and menus;
• receive a navigation command via a navigation input mechanism of the plurality of navigation input mechanisms;
• select a user interface mechanism of the plurality of user interface mechanisms based on a type of the navigation input mechanism;
• receive an instruction via the user interface mechanism;
• and
• process the instruction to control the application state machine.
