Abstract: A remote controller includes a communicator and a processor configured to control the communicator to transmit an identification information request signal to a plurality of electronic apparatuses paired with the remote controller. Based on a signal that includes identification information being received from two or more of the plurality of electronic apparatuses in response to the identification information request signal, the processor controls the communicator to identify a direction of the remote controller based on a direction from which each of the signals is received. The processor causes communication to be performed via an exclusive communication channel between the remote controller and one of the plurality of electronic apparatuses based on the identified direction.
