Abstract
A touch screen device and an operating method thereof are provided. More specifically, a touch screen device is provided which allows a user to selectively restrict input through a touch screen. The touch screen device includes a screen that includes a display configured to display images thereon and a detector configured to detect a touch on the display and convert the touch into an electrical signal, and a controller configured to cause images to be displayed on the display and receive and process signals from the detector. Further, a user may determine whether the controller is operated according to the signal input into the detector. The determination may be made either by a switch separately installed on an earphone or by inputting a signal into the detector by a user.

31. A method of operating a touch screen device, comprising:
-
detecting a signal input from a switch; determining whether the input signal is a holding signal and then switching the touch screen device to a holding mode in which signals input through a touch screen are prevented from being transferred to a controller if it is determined that the input signal is the holding signal; and determining whether the input signal is an activation signal and then switching the touch screen from the holding mode to an activation mode if it is determined that the input signal is the activation signal. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method of operating a touch screen device, comprising:
-
detecting a signal input from a touch screen; determining whether the input signal is a holding signal and then switching the touch screen device to a holding mode in which signals input through a touch screen are ignored by a controller if it is determined that the input signal is the holding signal; and determining whether the input signal is an activation signal and then switching the touch screen from the holding mode to an activation mode if it is determined that the input signal is the activation signal. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
