Abstract
An apparatus for providing a user interface provides a first user interface mode, and can switch to a second user interface mode if it receives a user command instructing to switch the mode to the second user interface mode which has a different user command input method from the first user interface mode. In the switching process, the apparatus is configured to reset a recognition pattern to distinguish a smaller number of user input types than the number of the user input types distinguishable in the first UI mode.
