Method for operating a large number of household appliances by means of an electronic device, which is connected to the large number of household appliances via a network; wherein the method comprises: - providing an operating program for the household appliances; wherein the operating program comprises a large number of pages (211, 233), which are arranged in a menu structure in a hierarchical manner and have different pages for the operation of different household appliances of the large number of household appliances; - outputting a first page of the large number of pages (211, 233) using an output means of the electronic device, wherein the output means comprises a screen; - ascertaining a context on the basis of the first page output; - determining a second page of the large number of pages (211, 233) as a function of the ascertained context; - wherein the first page and the second page are configured to each operate different household appliances of the large number of household appliances; - ascertaining an interaction element, wherein the interaction element comprises a link to the second page; and - outputting the interaction element using the output means in conjunction with the first page output, wherein the first page is output in a base region of a visual representation and the interaction element is output in a context-dependent region of the visual representation, wherein the context-dependent region comprises a region in which a large number of interaction elements can be represented; characterised in that - the ascertaining of the context comprises an analysing of information that is represented on the first page, wherein the information comprises one or more of the following: a heading of the first page, an error message and/or status message relating to the household appliance, a text block represented on the first page, one or more represented operating elements for controlling the household appliance, and/or a background image of the first page, - wherein the determining of the second page comprises: ascertaining a plurality of candidate pages from the large number of pages (211, 233) as a function of the ascertained context, ascertaining a relevance of each of the plurality of candidate pages for the ascertained context, sorting the candidate pages as a function of the relevance and selecting a limited number of candidate pages while taking into consideration the relevance; - wherein a plurality of interaction elements are ascertained for the plurality of selected candidate pages and - the plurality of ascertained interaction elements are output in the context-dependent region. - providing an operating program for the household appliances; wherein the operating program comprises a large number of pages (211, 233), which are arranged in a menu structure in a hierarchical manner and have different pages for the operation of different household appliances of the large number of household appliances; - outputting a first page of the large number of pages (211, 233) using an output means of the electronic device, wherein the output means comprises a screen; - ascertaining a context on the basis of the first page output; - determining a second page of the large number of pages (211, 233) as a function of the ascertained context; - wherein the first page and the second page are configured to each operate different household appliances of the large number of household appliances; - ascertaining an interaction element, wherein the interaction element comprises a link to the second page; and - outputting the interaction element using the output means in conjunction with the first page output, wherein the first page is output in a base region of a visual representation and the interaction element is output in a context-dependent region of the visual representation, wherein the context-dependent region comprises a region in which a large number of interaction elements can be represented; - the ascertaining of the context comprises an analysing of information that is represented on the first page, wherein the information comprises one or more of the following: a heading of the first page, an error message and/or status message relating to the household appliance, a text block represented on the first page, one or more represented operating elements for controlling the household appliance, and/or a background image of the first page, - wherein the determining of the second page comprises: ascertaining a plurality of candidate pages from the large number of pages (211, 233) as a function of the ascertained context, ascertaining a relevance of each of the plurality of candidate pages for the ascertained context, sorting the candidate pages as a function of the relevance and selecting a limited number of candidate pages while taking into consideration the relevance; - wherein a plurality of interaction elements are ascertained for the plurality of selected candidate pages and - the plurality of ascertained interaction elements are output in the context-dependent region.
