  • Publication number: 20130194180
    Abstract: A device and a method of controlling the device are provided. The device includes a sensing unit, and a controller configured to generate a display signal displaying at least one pointer, to generate a display signal so that the a movement of the at least one pointer depending on a first gesture is performed based on a first set value when obtaining the first gesture through the sensing unit, and to generate a display signal so that the movement of the at least one pointer depending on the first gesture is performed based on a second set value when the first set value changes to the second set value. Accordingly, it may be possible to effectively control movement of the pointer by enabling the pointer to be moved based on a predetermined set value.
