Abstract
A method and apparatus for executing a function using a combination of a user'"'"'s key input and motion in a terminal such as a mobile phone. The method includes receiving a key input from a user, sensing a motion of the user using a sensor, recognizing a pattern of the sensed motion, and executing a function corresponding to a combination of the key input and the recognized motion pattern.
