PORTABLE DEVICE AND INFORMATION INPUT METHOD THEREOF

摘要

An information input method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: detecting location information of a first input to determine whether the location of the first input is in an external input available area of a display module; if so, sensing at least one other input different from the location of the first input, and setting an external input area based on the location of the at least one other input and the location of the first input; comparing the size of the external input area with the size of a display area of the display module to set a screen output ratio; and outputting a user input, input in the external input area, to the display area of the display module according to the screen output ratio. [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) End; (S100) Determine an external input available area; (S200) Determine user input location; (S300) Set an external input area; (S400) Set a screen output ratio; (S500) Control the screen output ratio; (S600) Display user input
