Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling display mode switching based on the rotation pattern of a portable terminal prevents unwanted orientation changes in the display for certain movements. The display mode switching control method of the present invention includes extracting a rotation pattern including pitch, roll, and yaw angles of the terminal; determining whether the rotation pattern is a valid rotation pattern based on the angles; and switching, when the rotation pattern is the valid rotation pattern, from a current display mode to other display mode.
