Remote controller and image display apparatus controllable by remote controller

摘要

A remote controller and an image display apparatus controllable by the remote controller are disclosed. The image display apparatus includes a display, an interface for receiving from the remote controller a signal based on a motion of the remote controller or a signal based on a touch input on the remote controller, and a controller for operating the image display apparatus in motion mode to control the image display apparatus according to the motion of the remote controller, if the degree of the motion is equal to or larger than a reference value and operating the image display apparatus in touch mode to control the image display apparatus according to the touch input on the remote controller, if the degree of the motion is smaller than the reference value.

1. An image display apparatus remotely controllable by an electronic device, the image display apparatus comprising:
a display unit; and a controller configured to control the display unit and to: determine if at least a touch input or a motion input from the electronic device is received, set an input processing mode of the image display apparatus to be one of a motion-based input mode and a touch-based input mode based on the determination result, process an input signal from the electronic device according to the set input processing mode, control a same type of command having different degrees of actions depending on whether the image display apparatus is placed in the motion-based input mode or the touch-based input mode, and if the input signal from the electronic device is an input for changing a setting value of the image display apparatus, change the setting value to be larger in the motion-based input mode than in the touch-based input mode based on the same input signal, wherein, when the controller determines that at least the motion input from the electronic device is received, the controller is further configured to: compare a degree of motion of the motion input with a predetermined reference value, and selectively set the input processing mode of the image display apparatus to be one of the motion-based input mode and the touch-based input mode based on the comparison result, wherein the controller is further configured to set the input processing mode of the image display apparatus to be the motion-based input mode, if the comparison result indicates that the degree of motion of the motion input is equal to or larger than the predetermined reference value, and wherein the controller is further configured to set the input processing mode of the image display apparatus to be the touch-based input mode, if the comparison result indicates that the degree of motion of the motion input is smaller than the predetermined reference value.
