Abstract: A method of running an application in a mobile communication terminal is disclosed. The method includes, if a predetermined key-value is input on a standby screen, analyzing the key-value to determine which application (or applications) to run; setting a parameter for running the application determined according to the key-value analysis result as the key-value; and running the application using the set parameter. A mobile communication terminal for running an application includes: a key input unit for receiving a predetermined key-value on a standby screen; a controller for if the key-value is input through the key input unit, analyzing the key-value to determine which application to run and setting a parameter for running the application determined according to the key-value analysis result as the key-value; and an application driver for running the application using the parameter set by the controller.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing an analog input operation in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes checking first and second coordinates respectively mapped to first and second keys consecutively input; checking an input time difference between the first and second keys; computing a movement direction and a variation of a cursor by referencing to information regarding the first and second coordinates and the input time difference between the first and second keys; and moving the cursor according to the computation result.
