Method and apparatus for selecting a button in a menu

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling reproduction of a menu are provided to a user interface for interaction with users. The method includes: confirming the maximum number value in selection number values of one or more buttons in the menu; receiving a number value of number keys input by a user; comparing a digit of the input number value with a digit of the maximum number value; and if the digit of the input number value matches the digit of the maximum number value, setting up a button having the selection number value corresponding to the input number value as a selection state. As a result, unnecessary waiting time can be reduced, thereby increasing user convenience.
