Abstract
A device and method of controlling a sound reproducing device are disclosed. The device includes a communication unit, which transmits and receives data to and from the sound reproducing device; a sensing unit, which detects a motion of the device and obtains azimuth information regarding an azimuth pointed by a pre-set region of the device based on the motion; and a control unit, which receives the azimuth information regarding the sound reproducing device from the sound reproducing device via the communication unit and, if it is determined that the azimuth information regarding the device corresponds to the azimuth information regarding the sound reproducing device within a pre-set range, determines the sound reproducing device as a controlled device.
