Abstract
A method of operating an input mode of a mobile terminal having a first input means and a second input means is provided. The method includes: displaying an input screen which is set as a first input mode; determining whether the second input means is in an activated state; and displaying a changed input screen which is set as a second input mode when the second input means is determined to be in an activated state.
Claims16
A method, operable in a controller, for operating an input mode of a mobile terminal having a first input means and a second input means, the method comprising:
- displaying an input screen which is set as a first input mode;
- determining whether the second input means is in an activated state;
- and
- displaying a changed input screen which is set as a second input mode, when the second input means is in an activated state.
A method of operating an input mode of a mobile terminal having a first input means and a second input means, the method comprising:
- displaying an input screen that is set as a first input mode;
- detecting input of one key among at least one key that constitutes the second input means;
- and
- displaying a changed input screen that is set as a second input mode and comprises a character corresponding to the inputted key.
A mobile terminal for operating an input mode, the mobile terminal comprising:
- an input unit, which comprises a first input means and a second input means, for generating a corresponding input signal;
- a display unit which displays an input screen which is set as one of:
- a first input mode and a second input mode;
- and
- a controller which determines whether the second input means is in and activated state, and, if the second input means is in activated state, controls the display unit to change the input screen from one mode to another mode.
A mobile terminal for operating an input mode, the mobile terminal comprising:
- an input unit which comprises a first input means and a second input means, for generating an input signal;
- a display unit which displays an input screen which is set as one of a first input mode or a second input mode;
- and
- a controller for controlling:
- the display unit to change an input screen from one of said first and second input modes to another of the first and second input modes, and
- display a character corresponding to the inputted key on the changed input screen, if the input signal, which indicates that at least one key, which constitutes the second input means, is inputted, is received from the input unit in the first input mode state.
