1. A method for processing a multipoint input, comprising:
- detecting a coordinate generated by a first input device and a plurality of coordinates generated by a second input device;
defining a plurality of screen regions by forming two axes intersecting at the coordinate generated by the first input device, each screen region defined by the two axes and the plurality of screen regions including at least a given region in which inputs are ignored;
excluding, based on being located in the given region from the plurality of screen regions, at least one coordinate of the plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device;
performing an operation based on detected coordinates after the at least one coordinate of the plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device is excluded from the detected coordinates,determining that the plurality of coordinates are consecutive coordinates designating a touch input area when distances between respective pairs of the plurality of coordinates are less than or equal to a predetermined threshold distance; and
if the touch input area is greater than the predetermined threshold distance, ignoring the plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device.

Abstract
A terminal and method for discriminating among multipoint inputs generated in combination of multiple input factors generated by different input devices includes detecting a multipoint input comprising a plurality of input factors provided by a plurality of different input means; extracting coordinates and positions of the input factors based on the input means; and performing a particular operation corresponding to the extracted coordinates.

10. A terminal comprising:
-
a first input device and a second input device; and a controller configured to; detect a coordinate generated by the first input device and a plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device; define, in a screen, a plurality of screen regions by forming two axes intersecting at the coordinate generated by the first input device, each screen region defined by the two axes and the plurality of screen regions further including at least a given region in which inputs are ignored; exclude, based on being located in a given region from the plurality of screen regions, at least one coordinate of the plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device; perform an operation based on detected coordinates after the at least one coordinate of the plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device is excluded from the detected coordinates, determine that the plurality of coordinates are consecutive coordinates designating a touch input area when distances between respective pairs of the plurality of coordinates are less than or equal to a predetermined threshold distance; and if the touch input area is greater than the predetermined threshold distance, ignore the plurality of coordinates generated by the second input device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
