First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating a portable terminal, the method comprising:
- determining, by a controller, whether a touch is sensed;
when the touch is sensed, determining, by the controller, an angle of the portable terminal;
determining, by the controller, whether the determined angle belongs to a grip zone; and
when the determined angle belongs to the grip zone, waking up, by the controller, the portable terminal.

Abstract
An apparatus and method operate a portable terminal according to touch and movement. When a touch is sensed, an angle of the portable terminal is determined. When the determined angle belongs to a grip zone, the portable terminal is transitioned to a wake up state.
