Device for remotely controlling an electronic apparatus and control method thereof

A control method of a control device for remotely controlling an electronic apparatus, the control method comprising:

• sensing a position of the control device;
• determining one of a first input interface on a first plate surface of the control device and a second input interface on a second plate surface that is directed toward a first direction, wherein the second plate surface faces opposite to the first plate surface;
• determining one of a first end part and a second end part on opposite sides of the control device in a longitudinal direction that is directed toward a second direction;
• providing the first input interface or the second input interface that is determined to be directed toward the first direction, wherein a display direction of the first input interface or the second interface is determined based on one of the first and the second end parts that is directed toward the second direction;
• and
• disabling the first input interface or the second input interface that is determined to be not directed toward the first direction.

A system comprising:

• an electronic apparatus;
• a control device configured to remotely control the electronic apparatus, wherein
• the control device comprises a communication part configured to communicate with the electronic apparatus;
• a first input interface on a first plate surface of the control device;
• a second input interface on a second plate surface of the control device, wherein the second plate surface faces opposite to the first plate surface;
• a position sensor configured to sense a position of the control device;
• and
• a controller configured to determine one of the first input interface and the second input interface that is directed toward a first direction and determine one of a first end part and a second end part on opposite sides of the control device in a longitudinal direction that is directed toward a second direction according to a position of the control device sensed by the position sensor, provide the first input interface or the second input interface that is determined to be directed toward the first direction, wherein a display direction of the first input interface or the second interface is determined based on one of the first end part and the second end part that is directed toward the second direction, and disable the first input interface or the second input interface which is determined to be not directed toward the first direction.
