Abstract: A portable terminal includes a touch screen capable of performing a character input method according to a touch event. The character input method in a terminal having a touch screen, includes: checking and displaying a character mapped to a sensed region of a first touch event when the first touch event is sensed in a character input mode, and determining whether the first touch event is released; determining whether the first touch event is moved when the first touch event is not released; and confirming a moving direction of the first touch event and adding a vowel to display a character when the first touch event is moved.

Abstract: A character input method and apparatus for a terminal. The character input method includes displaying a main keypad including a plurality of main keys in text input mode. The method also includes entering, when a touch is detected at one of the main keys, a character assigned to the main key at which the touch is made. The method further includes displaying a sub keypad around the main key, the sub keypad including a plurality of sub keys assigned characters combinable with the entered character. The method also includes entering, when the touch is dragged to one of the sub keys, the character assigned to the sub key to which the touch is dragged. The character input method and apparatus of the present disclosure are advantageous for the user to input characters using the main and sub keypads displaying characters combinable with each other.

Abstract: A key input method and apparatus allow efficient typing on a keypad. A pressing of a first key followed by a pressing of a second key is detected. One of input values corresponding to one of the first and second keys is selected according to the other key of the first and second keys. The selected input value is entered as a key input.
