Abstract
A vehicle terminal may include a touch interface that detects a touch input that is input at a point of a touch panel and when a main controller detects a first tap that is input to the touch panel and then detects at least one second tap within a specified time period with the first tap maintained, the main controller that recognizes a tap-tap interaction based on an input direction of the first tap and the at least one second tap and processes a function that is assigned to the recognized tap-tap interaction.
