Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for recognizing an adjacent peripheral device and a method for controlling the same. The apparatus comprises: a memory that stores power codes and operating codes that correspond to a plurality of different devices; a communication unit that transmits at least one of the power codes and the operating codes to a target device; a detection unit that detects a change of the state of the target device that has received the transmitted power code or operating code; and a controller that sequentially transmits the plurality of power codes to the target device; identifies the target device as a device that corresponds to the power codes transmitted to the target device in cases where the target device is turned on; and transmits one or more operating codes to the target device and identifies the target device based on at least one operating code that drives the target device among the transmitted operating codes in cases where a plurality of devices correspond to the power codes.
