Apparatus and method for driving communication terminal using proximity sensor for dialing

摘要

An apparatus and a method for driving a communication terminal are provided. A method for driving a communication terminal according to the present invention includes determining, when a proximity of an object is detected, data based on a proximity duration for which the proximity is maintained, and executing, when an execution request is detected, a function corresponding to the data. Since a specific function is executed in response to the information on the proximity of an object to the communication terminal, there is no need to display touch keys on the screen, resulting in improvement of user's convenience.

主权项

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.
