METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TOUCH INPUT IN PORTABLE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for a touch input of a portable terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and method for improving performance of a touch input device by using a multi-touch panel which supports both a resistive type and a capacitive type of touch input detection are provided. The apparatus includes a multi-touch panel for performing both a capacitive type and a resistive type of touch input detection in one touch panel, a pattern determining unit for analyzing a touch input pattern of a user by using the multi-touch panel, and a touch manager for determining a touch input coordinate corresponding to the touch input pattern of the user based on one of the capacitive type and the resistive type of touch input detection.
