An apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen;
- a communicator;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the touch screen to display a first user interface (UI) which provides a first function corresponding to controlling an external device, the first function including controlling a broadcasting channel in the external device, and
- control the touch screen to display a second UI together with the first UI, based on a signal being received through the communicator while the first UI is displayed on the touch screen, wherein the second UI provides a second function, for the external device, different from the first function of the first UI.
A system comprising:
- a television (TV);
- and
- an apparatus configured to remotely control the TV by a user,
- the apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen;
- a communicator;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the touch screen to display a first user interface (UI) which provides a first function corresponding to controlling the TV, the first function including controlling a broadcasting channel in the TV, and
- control the touch screen to display a second UI together with the first UI, based on a signal being received through the communicator while the first UI is displayed on the touch screen,
- wherein the second UI provides a second function, for the TV, different from the first function of the first UI.
