Content
Based upon the foregoing, the present invention offers numerous advantages not available in conventional interactive television systems. In response to an interactive option becoming available, an instructional user interface icon is displayed to assist a user in identifying and/or locating a corresponding button on the remote control. In addition, a description accompanies the icon when the user speaks a language other than the default language of the remote control. The description provides meaning for the icon and may generate interest for activating the interactive option. Each icon shares a common visual characteristic with a corresponding button, such as shape, color, text markings, graphical markings, size, relative position, and the like. Accordingly, the user is not required to read a translated printed manual or an on-line help screen to make use of an interactive option.
