Abstract

A method for providing assistance to users of computer programs. The computer system receives user inputs for utilizing the various functions of a computer program. The system records an amount of time during which said user utilizes the respective functions, such that when a user signals that assistance is needed, the system determines which of the program's functions have been most frequently used. The system then finds, and connects to the user, persons having expertise in those respective areas.
