TOUCH BASED MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SOFT KEYBOARD IN TOUCH TYPE MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A mobile terminal based on touch and a soft keyboard control method in the mobile terminal based on touch are provided to supply an intuitive interface to a soft keyboard, thereby increasing user convenience. CONSTITUTION: A display unit(110) includes a touch function. A control unit(120) displays one unit keyboard among unit keyboards of a soft keyboard on a keyboard area of the display unit. When swipe is sensed in the keyboard area, the control unit moves the unit keyboard to other keyboards by determining a swipe direction based on a touch state and displays other keyboards on the keyboard area. The control unit determines the touch state and the swipe direction by using a key coordinate value of a touch start location and a key coordinate value of a touch release location.
