Abstract: A point type remote control apparatus and method thereof, which can directly move a point to a desired position on a display screen, and thereby select quickly from a menu and provide convenience in use. The present invention comprises a signal transmitter for transmitting a specified pulse signal towards the desired point on the display screen, and a receiver/controller having a plurality of signal receiving sensors positioned around the display screen. The receiver/controller calculates a positional coordinate of a point of the transmitter by converting the intensity differences of the pulse signals received by the signal receiving sensors into phase differences, and displays the point corresponding to the positional coordinate on the display screen. In addition, the present invention comprises a receiver/controller for counting real phase differences of each pulse signal received by the signal receiving sensors.
