Abstract
The present invention includes a method and apparatus for providing quick access to menu and selection items of a user interface using an input device having a limited capability. For example, a standard television remote control does not have a pointing device or a button for each letter of the alphabet. One button is used to activate on-screen pop-up symbols that map selection items to keys on the remote. If a user does not select one of the selection items within a predetermined amount of time, the on-screen pop-up symbols disappear. The on-screen symbols can also be used to allow a user to select menus and submenus.
