Abstract

A data input method and apparatus for a mobile terminal having a touchscreen includes: sensing a touch gesture of a user on the touchscreen; checking whether the sensed touch gesture is a split keypad request; and displaying, when the sensed touch gesture is a split keypad request, at least two split keypads in a display area of the touchscreen, and displaying a function execution screen in an unused region (dead space) between the split keypads.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and a data input method in a mobile terminal with a touch screen, more particularly, to a data input method and device for realizing data entry by using at least two separate keyboards displayed on the touch screen. Background technique [0002] Various types of mobile terminals have been greatly popularized due to the rapid development of communication technology and semiconductor technology. High-end mobile terminals have evolved into multifunctional mobile convergence devices supporting various applications and fields. In particular, there is an increasing trend that mobile terminals are equipped with a touch screen, which enables a user to perform actions on the touch screen, thereby controlling application programs based on generated touch events. [0003] The mobile terminal can provide various types of keyboards such as an English QWERTY keyboard, an English 3×4 keyboard, a Korean 3×4 keyboard, and a sp...
