An electronic device having a function for sensing 2D and 3D touch which includes a display unit; a bezel frame unit; a plurality of light emitting units; a plurality of light receiving units; a light isolation unit configured to isolate a first light for sensing 2D touch and a second light for sensing 3D touch from the lights incident thereon from the light emitting units; a driving control unit configured to sequentially operate the plurality of the light emitting units; and a motion recognition unit configured to calculate a horizontal coordinate based on the quantity of the first light, to calculate a spatial coordinate based on the quantity of the second light, to extract a motion of the pointer based on the detected quantity of the light and to implement an operation corresponding to the extracted motion.

Electronic device for sensing 2D and 3D touch and method for controlling the same

A remote control apparatus that provides haptic sensations. The remote control apparatus includes a dial, a motor, a rotary encoder, an encoder counter, a control unit and a motor controller. The remote control apparatus further includes a storage unit, a movement detection unit and a display unit. When a user selects an icon displayed on the display unit by rotating the dial, the control unit interprets the user instruction through the rotary encoder and the encoder counter to control the motor to generate torque for causing a haptic sensation corresponding to the interpreted instruction via the motor controller. While the haptic sensation is conveyed to the user through the dial, the control unit controls an appliance to perform the interpreted instruction thereon.
