Abstract
According to one embodiment, a remote control apparatus includes a first input module, a second input module, a transmit/receive module and a controller. The first input module is configured to input a gesture pattern. The second input module is configured to input starting of an application. The transmit/receive module is configured to transmit information on the gesture pattern and to transmit or receive a command. The controller is configured to activate the first input module if starting of a particular application is input via the second input module, to transmit a command requesting specification of an operation mode for the starting of the particular application after touch-on via the first input module, and to set the operation mode based on reception of a command specifying the operation mode.
