A system and method for prioritized interface design are disclosed. In one
embodiment of a system incorporating teachings of the present disclosure,
a wireless-enabled device may include a display, a user input mechanism,
and a housing component that at least partially defines an internal
cavity. The device may have several engines including a display engine
that can initiate presentation of a menu that has several selectable
items displayed in respective menu positions. The device may also include
a metric engine that tracks some selection metric for the selectable
items and a priority engine that determines a prioritization level for
the selectable items. In some embodiments, the prioritization level may
be related to a selection metric. The device may also have a mapping
engine that modifies assigned menu positions for the selectable items in
response to changes in the prioritization level of the items.
