When an optical pointer irradiates light rays with a specific pattern, photo sensors disposed in a display unit of the device detect the irradiated light rays. The device determines and generates pattern information corresponding to a pattern of the light rays, a pattern direction, and a pattern movement. The device executes or controls a function according to the pattern information and a function table, which maps the pattern information to the function.
