Provided is a mobile device including: an input reception unit for receiving at least one input through a user interface; a control information determination unit for determining control information corresponding to an operation of an external device based on the at least one input, wherein the control information includes a first symbol and a second symbol; a sound wave data generation unit for generating sound wave data corresponding to the control information; and an output unit for outputting a sound wave corresponding to the sound wave data generated by a sound wave generation apparatus. In this case, the sound wave data generation unit determines a first frequency corresponding to the first symbol and a second frequency corresponding to the second symbol, and generates the sound wave data based on the first frequency and the second frequency, and the sound wave data includes a portion corresponding to the first frequency and a portion corresponding to the second frequency.
