First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for input in a terminal having a touch screen, the method comprising:
- displaying an active cell for activating any one of a plurality of objects displayed on a screen;
sensing a touch on a display screen;
checking a position touched on the display screen and a shift direction and a shift distance of the sensed touch on a basis of the position of the display screen sensed as being touched;
shifting a position of the active cell according to the shift direction and the shift distance of the sensed touch; and
performing an action of a corresponding object of an area of the active cell if a double tapping signal applied to the display screen is sensed.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for detecting input to a terminal having a touch screen. The method includes the steps of: displaying an active cell activating any one of a plurality of objects displayed on a screen; sensing a touch on a display screen; checking a position touched and a shift direction and a shift distance touched on a basis of the position touched by the user'"'"'s finger; shifting a position of the active cell according to the shift direction and the shift distance touched; and performing an action of a corresponding object of an area of the active cell if a double tapping signal input on the display screen is sensed.

14. An apparatus for touch input in a terminal having a touch screen, the apparatus comprising:
-
a sensing unit sensing a touch on a display screen and a tapping signal applied to the display screen, and for discriminating a corresponding area of the sensed touch so as to output the corresponding area; a check unit outputting a shift direction and a shift distance of the sensed touch on the display screen; and a control unit receiving an output from the sensing unit that a tapping signal has been sensed by the sensing unit and for controlling a position of an active cell or a pointer activating an object displayed on the display screen according to the shift direction and the shift distance of the sensed touch checked from the check unit. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
