1. An input apparatus connected to an electronic device, the input apparatus comprising:
- a communicator configured to receive a signal from a pointing apparatus; and
a controller configured to control to display a pointer on a predetermined position of a display of the electronic device when a start signal is received from the pointing apparatus by manipulating a button on the pointing apparatus,wherein when sensed movement of the pointing apparatus is received from the pointing apparatus, the controller controls to display the pointer on a position of the display, which corresponds to the movement of the pointing apparatus, andwherein the controller is further configured to control to display another pointer on the display independently from the pointer based on a signal received from one of a mouse input apparatus and another pointing apparatus, the another pointer and the pointer being simultaneously displayed on the display.

17. A method for displaying a pointer, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by an input apparatus, a start signal from a pointing apparatus by manipulating a button on the pointing apparatus; displaying, by an input apparatus, a pointer on a predetermined position of a display according to the received start signal; when sensed movement of the pointing apparatus is received from the pointing apparatus, displaying, by an input apparatus, the pointer on a position of the display, which corresponds to the movement of the pointing apparatus, and displaying, by an input apparatus, another pointer on the display independently from the pointer based on a signal received from one of a mouse input apparatus and another pointing apparatus, the another pointer and the pointer being simultaneously displayed on the display. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A pointing method comprising:
-
receiving a user input; sensing movement of a pointing apparatus when the user input is received; and transmitting a start signal to display a pointer on a predetermined position of a display of an input apparatus and the sensed movement to the input apparatus, wherein the input apparatus displays the pointer corresponding to the movement of the pointing apparatus and displays another pointer on the display independently from the pointer based on a signal received from one of a mouse input apparatus and another pointing apparatus, the another pointer and the pointer being simultaneously displayed on the display.

23. An input apparatus connected to an electronic device, the input apparatus comprising:
-
a communicator configured to receive a signal from a pointing apparatus; and in a state that a pointer is not displayed on a display of the electronic device, in response to receiving a start signal from the pointing apparatus by manipulating a button on the pointing apparatus, a controller configured to control to display the pointer on a predetermined position of the display, wherein in response to receiving a signal indicating a movement of the pointing apparatus from the pointing apparatus, the controller controls to move the pointer displayed on the predetermined position to a position corresponding to the movement of the pointing apparatus, and wherein the controller is further configured to control to display another pointer on the display independently from the pointer based on a signal received from one of a mouse input apparatus and another pointing apparatus, the another pointer and the pointer being simultaneously displayed on the display.
