1. An apparatus for changing a screen orientation depending on a detected movement of a terminal, comprising:

  • a motion sensor for measuring values of three-axis coordinates that change depending on the movement of the terminal;

    a display unit for displaying at least two of screen modes; and

    a controller for determining whether to change a screen mode based on an amount of change in the measured three-axis coordinates from previously detected three-axis coordinates,wherein, if the amount of change in the one of the three axis coordinates is smaller than of the other two axis coordinates, the controller switches another screen mode that corresponds to the movement of the terminal.
