1. A method of providing a Control User Interface (CUI) by a terminal, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a controller of the terminal, a current location of the terminal;
transmitting, by a transceiver of the terminal, a request for information on the CUI corresponding to the current location of the terminal to a device or to a server connected to the device;
receiving, by a transceiver, the information on the CUI corresponding to the current location of the terminal from the device or from the server connected to the device;
displaying, by the controller, the CUI based on the information on the CUI corresponding to the current location of the terminal;
generating, by the controller, a command for controlling the device based on the displayed CUI; and
transmitting, by the transceiver, the command to the device or to the server,wherein the CUI for controlling the device is configured differently when the terminal is in another location.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing a Control User Interface (CUI) by a terminal. A location of the terminal is identified. The CUI, including information corresponding to the location of the terminal, is displayed. A command for controlling a device is generated based on the displayed CUI. The command is transmitted to the device or to a server connected to the device. The information corresponding to the location of the terminal is received from the device or from the server.
