Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method for inputting characters by making head motion. In the method for inputting a character by making head motion, a predetermined numeral group is selected among a plurality of numeral groups by shifting a center-point key set on a keyboard displayed on a screen in a predetermined direction along a sensed head motion. Then, one of numeral keys in the selected numeral group is selected by sensing the head motion, and the selected numeral key is inputted.
