摘要

According to one embodiment, a digital device comprises a data processing unit displaying a graphic user interface (GUI) and an initial setup module. The initial setup module includes an auto-detection module, a contextual help module, and an advertisement module. The auto-detection module automatically detects at least one of a network, a television cable, and a plurality of inputs connected to the digital device, and populates a connections list in a second panel including the result of the automatic detection. The contextual help module displays at least one of texts, images and animations in a first panel that help the user understand the steps of the initial setup. The advertisement module displays advertisements in the first panel when the digital device is loading. The digital device may be loading at least when the auto-detection module is automatically detecting or when the contextual help module is loading the at least one of texts, images and animations to be displayed.
