Remote controller apparatus and control method thereof

A control method of a remote controller apparatus configured to operate in a plurality of operating modes, the control method comprising:

• sensing a movement of the remote controller apparatus;
• determining position information corresponding to the movement of the remote controller apparatus;
• controlling a movement of a pointing object displayed on an external device based on the position information;
• and
• changing the operating mode of the remote controller apparatus in response to a preset event occurring while the remote controller apparatus operates,
• wherein the determining the position information comprises:
• determining the position information corresponding to the movement of the remote controller apparatus using a first method when the remote controller apparatus operates in a first operating mode among the plurality of operating modes, and
• determining the position information corresponding to the movement of the remote controller apparatus using a second method when the remote controller apparatus operates in a second operating mode among the plurality of operating modes.

A remote controller apparatus comprising:

• a transceiver configured to communicate with an external device;
• a sensor configured to sense a movement of the remote controller apparatus;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• determine position information corresponding to the movement of the remote controller apparatus using a first method while the remote controller apparatus operates in a first operating mode,
• determine the position information corresponding to the movement of the remote controller apparatus using a second method while the remote controller apparatus operates in a second operating mode that is different from the first operating mode,
• control the transceiver to transmit the position information to the external device, and
• control the operating mode of the remote control in response to a change in a use environment of the remote control.
