Integrated remote controller and method of selecting device controlled thereby
First Claim
1. A method for recognizing control devices of an integrated remote controller which displays icons of identified devices, comprising:
- storing images of various types of devices as picture data;
taking images of the devices by a camera;
comparing images outputted from the camera with the picture data, and identifying the devices whose picture was taken by the camera; and
displaying icons of the identified devices.

Abstract
An integrated remote controller and a method of selecting a device controlled thereby are disclosed. The present invention is implemented such that it can store position data of devices to be controlled by the integrated remote controller; recognize devices around the integrated remote controller and displaying the devices; determine as to whether an angular velocity of the integrated remote controller is varied, if the recognized devices are plural; if the angular velocity is varied, sense movement direction of the integrated remote controller based on the angular velocity to search for a device to be controlled by a user; and display a control menu of the device to be controlled by the user.
