1. A remote control apparatus for controlling an external apparatus, comprising:

  • a motion detecting sensor configured to detect aspects of motion of the remote control apparatus;

    a touch sensor configured to detect a touch input to the remote control apparatus; and

    a controller configured to;

    based on the touch input being detected by the touch sensor, turn on the motion detecting sensor;

    based on identifying that the detected touch input corresponds to a command for controlling the external apparatus, control the external apparatus using the detected touch input; and

    based on identifying that the detected touch input does not correspond to a command for controlling the external apparatus, obtain a first sensing value of the motion detecting sensor after the motion detecting sensor is turned on, obtain, based on the first sensing value, a compensating second sensing value of the motion detecting sensor representing motion of the remote control apparatus before the motion detecting sensor is turned on, and control the external apparatus using the first sensing value and the compensating second sensing value.
