Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing a user interface for interacting to various touch events detected by multiple touch sensors formed on the different surfaces of a mobile terminal are provided. The method, for a mobile terminal having a first touch area and a second touch area, includes detecting a touch event that includes a first touch sensed on the first touch area and a second touch sensed on the second touch area, identifying a movement pattern of the touch event, and providing a user interface in accordance with the movement pattern. The apparatus and method for providing a user interface according to the present invention is advantageous to input various user commands intuitively using multi-touch gestures and improve utilization of the mobile terminal with enriched emotional expressions.
