Provided is a remote control apparatus and method using a virtual touch of a three-dimensionally modeled electronic device. The remote control apparatus includes a 3D coordinate calculation unit, an electronic device detecting unit, a user detecting unit, an electronic device driving control unit, and an electronic device information database (DB). The 3D coordinate calculation unit extracts 3D coordinate data of a user's body and the electronic device using an image received through image photographing. The electronic device detecting unit recognizes spatial location information and product information of the electronic device using the 3D coordinate data of the electronic device extracted by the 3D coordinate calculation unit and generates a virtual contact point region for a virtual touch with a user and the electronic device based on direction information corresponding to a straight line between the user and the electronic device. The user detecting unit calculates a virtual touch location and a change of the location for operating the electronic device using the 3D coordinate data of the user's body calculated by the 3D coordinate calculation unit and generates a command code for operating a predetermined electronic device based on the change of the virtual touch location that is calculated. The electronic device driving control unit converts the command code generated by the user detecting unit into a control command signal for operating a corresponding electronic device to transmit an operation command signal to the corresponding electronic device when the command code generated by the user detecting unit is inputted. The electronic device information database (DB) stores product information comprising a manufacturer and a model name of the electronic device, protocol information applied to the operation of each product, and operation method information of each electronic device. |
