Abstract
Disclosed herein is a wireless remote controller having a navigation function and method of providing the navigation function to the same. The remote controller of the present invention includes a wireless transmission/reception unit, a display unit, a storage unit, at least tow function keys, a mode switching element, a device information selecting key, and a control unit. The function keys selectively operate in a first mode in which remote control key code information is transmitted through the wireless transmission/reception unit to devices and a second mode in which the device information is navigated. The device information selecting key selects information of one or more devices. The control unit controls the remote control key code information to be transmitted through the wireless transmission/reception unit in the first mode, and in the second mode controls the information of the device to be provided to the display.
