1. A method for facilitating interactive feedback while driving a communication terminal, the method comprising:

  • detecting a proximity of an object to a proximity sensor of the communication terminal by a proximity sensor included in the communication terminal;

    measuring a proximity duration of the object;

    determining a data mapped to the measured proximity duration;

    repeating the measuring of the proximity duration and the determining of the data in response to the proximity release before an execution request input is detected;

    notifying a retrieved indication number based on the data mapped to the proximity duration; and

    executing a function based on the determined data in response to the execution request input.
