Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a consumer electronics (CE) device, are provided. The method includes determining, when a touch is sensed, whether the touch corresponds to a booting request, and performing a booting operation when the touch is a booting request; and controlling the CE device to operate in a sleep mode when an operation start signal is not received until the booting operation is completed, and controlling the CE device to operate in a normal mode when an operation start signal is received before the booting operation is completed. The apparatus includes a touch sensing unit; which senses a touch to the CE device; a determining unit which determines whether the touch sensed by the touch sensing unit corresponds to a booting request; a booting unit, and a control unit controlling the CE device.
