TEXT INPUT METHOD IN TOUCH SCREEN TERMINAL AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A method for text input in a touch screen terminal, the method comprising:
- designating a region on a keyboard interface display;
disabling text input through a keyboard when a first touch drag started from the designated region is sensed;
identifying a path of the first touch drag;
identifying a path of at least an additional touch drag when one or more additional touch drags are sensed;
determining a character as a user input by processing the identified paths using character recognition;
enabling text input through the keyboard in response to determining the character.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus input test in a touch screen terminal. The method comprises designating a certain region on a keyboard interface picture, not permitting text input through a keyboard when touch drag started from the designated region is sensed and acquiring a path of the touch drag, acquiring a path of following touch drag when at least the one or more following touch drag are sensed, and reading out at least the acquired one or more paths by cursive character recognition, deducing a character, determining the deduced character as an input target, and permitting the text input through the keyboard.

13. An apparatus for text input in a touch screen terminal, the apparatus comprising:
-
a touch screen configured to display a keyboard; and a controller configured to disable text input through the keyboard in response identifying a drag input starting from a designated region in the display, identify a path of one or more drag inputs on the touch screen, and identify a character input on the touch screen based on the path of the one or more drag inputs. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
