First Claim
1. A user terminal device, comprising:
- a display;
a communicator configured to communicate with a display device;
a detector configured to detect a distance between the user terminal device and the display device;
a plurality of inputters, each of the plurality of inputters configured to be activated or deactivated, and receive input of a user command when activated; and
a controller configured to;
in response to the detector detecting that the user terminal device is within a predetermined distance with respect to the display device, activate at least one of the plurality of inputters that is deactivated, and control the display to display a user interface (UI) which is configured to control an operation of the display device, andin response to the detector detecting that the user terminal device is not within the predetermined distance with respect to the display device, control the display to display content and a UI corresponding to the content.
