Method for executing user command according to spatial movement of user input device and image apparatus thereof

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program which when executed causes a display device wirelessly connected with an input device to execute a method of controlling the display device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from the input device, first information indicating that a predetermined button of the input device is pressed and second information regarding a movement of the input device;
• controlling a display of the display device to display a plurality of visual items representing a plurality of functions of the display device based on the first information, each of the plurality of visual items being for guiding a manual movement of the input device to select a function among the plurality of functions;
• determining a direction of movement of a pointing position while the predetermined button of the input device is pressed, based on the received first information and second information;
• and
• executing a function among the plurality of functions based on the determined direction of the movement of the pointing position.

A display device comprising:

• a display;
• a receiver for receiving, from an input device, first information indicating that a predetermined button of the input device is pressed and second information regarding a movement of the input device;
• and
• a controller for controlling the display to display a plurality of visual items representing a plurality of functions of the display device based on the first information, each of the plurality of visual items being for guiding a manual movement of the input device to select a function among the plurality of functions, determining a direction of movement of a pointing position while the predetermined button of the input device is pressed, based on the received first information and second information, and executing a function among the plurality of functions based on the determined direction of the movement of the pointing position.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• a receiver for receiving, from the input device, first information indicating a movement of the input device and second information that indicates whether a predetermined button of the input device is pressed or released;
• and
• a controller for controlling the display to display a plurality of visual guide items for guiding a user how to move the input device to select a function among a plurality of functions of the electronic device while the predetermined button of the input device is pressed, determining a direction of a movement of a pointing position and a distance of the movement of the pointing position while the predetermined button of the input device is pressed, based on the received first information and second information, and executing a function among the plurality of functions based on the determined direction and distance of the movement of the pointing position.
