## Abstract

An embodiment provides a display device comprising: a display module through which content is output; an interface unit which communicates with a remote control device; and a control unit, wherein the control unit receives data from the remote control device, determines a mode of the remote control device on the basis of information included in the data, and converts the data into coordinate values on the basis of the mode of the remote control device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:
a display module configured to output content thereon;
an interface unit configured to be in communication with a remote controller; and a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to:
receive data from the remote controller;
determine a mode of the remote controller based on information included in the data; and
convert the data into a coordinate value based on the mode of the remote controller.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device of claim 1, wherein the data includes x-axis data, y-axis data, z-axis data, roll rotation data, pitch rotation data, and yaw rotation data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device of claim 2, wherein the controller is configured to:
delete the z-axis data, the pitch rotation data, and the yaw rotation data among the data when the mode of the remote controller is determined to be a first mode; and
delete the x-axis data and the roll rotation data among the data when the mode of the remote controller is determined to be a second mode.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display device of claim 3, wherein the controller is configured to determine the mode of the remote controller as the first mode when values of the roll rotation data, the pitch rotation data, the yaw rotation data, and the z-axis data among the information included in the data are 0.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The display device of claim 4, wherein the controller is configured to output a guide pop-up window when the content being output is included in a first category, wherein the guide pop-up window guides switching the mode of the remote controller to the first mode.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The display device of claim 5, wherein the controller is configured to output the guide pop-up window when a virtual keyboard is output while the content is being output.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The display device of claim 5, wherein the controller is configured to output the guide pop-up window when the number of items included in the content being output is equal to or greater than a first number.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The display device of claim 3, wherein the controller is configured to:
output a first user interface on the content when the mode of the remote controller is the first mode; and
output a second user interface on the content when the mode of the remote controller is the second mode, wherein the first user interface includes a larger number of items than the second user interface.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The display device of claim 3, wherein the controller is configured to:
set a movement speed of a cursor output on the content based on the remote controller to a first speed when the mode of the remote controller is the first mode; and
set the movement speed of the cursor output on the content based on the remote controller to a second speed when the mode of the remote controller is the second mode, wherein the first speed is higher than the second speed.

### Claim 10

A method for controlling a display device including a display module configured to output content thereon, wherein the display device includes an interface unit configured to be in communication with a remote controller and a controller, wherein the method comprising:
receiving data from the remote controller;
determining a mode of the remote controller based on information included in the data; and
converting the data into a coordinate value based on the mode of the remote controller.
