Remote control with touch screen and method for controlling

A remote controller equipped with a touch screen and a control method thereof are provided to enable a user to easily obtain desired information by checking a selected item according to a position of a touched screen and enabling a computer to process a command corresponding to the selected item. A detector is installed to one side of a main body, displays each function for controlling an electronic product to a screen, and detects the function corresponding to touched coordinates. The detector discriminates whether a touch is simple touch or click. A controller(130) executes a first command of the function displayed in the touched coordinates in case of the simple touch and executes a second command of the function displayed in the touched coordinates in case of the click. An infrared transmitter(140) receives a control signal of controller and outputs the control signal as an infrared signal to enable a display device to perform the function corresponding to the control signal.
