Apparatus and method for touch input in portable terminal

摘要

An apparatus and method for touch input in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a pattern determining unit and an input determining unit. The pattern determining unit determines an input pattern of a user by analyzing a touch input generated at a point outside an input region set to input data. The input determining unit determines candidate input regions in a vicinity of coordinates of the touch input point, and estimates a desired input region of the user among the candidate input regions on a basis of an input pattern of the user.
