Abstract
A multi-touch remote control method comprises following steps: a remote control device receiving a touch gesture input; computing a number of the touch points of the touch gesture input; generating and transferring a mouse event data to a receiving device as a mouse input if the number of the touch points is 1; and generating and transferring a single touch event data to the receiving device as a single touch input if the number of the touch points is greater than 1 and all the touch points of the touch gesture input are close to each other.
