The present invention relates to a portable terminal and to a character input method for same. A control unit receives, from a touch device, touch information corresponding to the input by a user, and calculates the region in which the touch information starts, the region in which the touch information ends, and the region in which the touch information turns. Then, the control unit determines, with reference to a memory, characters corresponding to the region in which the touch information starts, to the region in which the touch information ends and to the region in which the touch information turns. In addition, the control unit determines whether or not a motion for turning the apex of each region in a predetermined direction exists, and changes a character input mode upon the input of any motion for turning the apex of each region in a predetermined direction. Thus, a user may input characters in an accurate and simple manner on a predetermined area displayed on a screen that is larger than conventional screens by using the touch device. |
