Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling the same by a user are suggested. The suggested apparatus comprises: a detecting unit for detecting a first event executed by a user in relation to a plurality of devices including the apparatus; a control unit for generating a second event according to the first event detected by the detecting unit; an output unit for presenting the second event to the user, wherein the control unit generates a command for executing the first event on the apparatus as a function of a response of the user to the second event detected by the detecting unit. The suggested apparatus and method are suitable to provide a second event, before executing a command corresponding to a first event from the user, for the user to confirm the intention of the first event.
