Abstract
An apparatus and a method for dialing in a mobile terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and a method for performing dialing while maintaining communication with a counterpart user are provided. The apparatus includes a touch determining unit and a dial determining unit. When detecting a touch input of a dial pad while performing communication, a touch determining unit determines dial information of a position at which the touch input has been detected. The dial determining unit provides the dial information determined by the touch determining unit as voice information.
Claims18
An apparatus for performing dialing during communication in a mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch determining unit for, when detecting a touch input of a dial pad while performing communication, determining dial information of a position at which the touch input has been detected;
- and
- a dial determining unit for providing the dial information determined by the touch determining unit as voice information.
A method for performing dialing during communication in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- when detecting a touch input of a dial pad while performing communication, determining dial information of a position at which the touch input has been detected;
- and
- providing the determined dial information as voice information.
An apparatus for performing dialing during communication in a mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch determining unit for, when detecting a touch input of a dial pad while performing communication, determining dial information of a position at which the touch input has been detected, and for, when detecting movement of the touch input, determining dial information of a position to which the touch input has moved;
- a dial determining unit for providing the dial information determined by the touch determining unit as voice information;
- a sensor for determining a distance between the mobile terminal and a user;
- and
- a controller for processing to perform dialing during communication using sensing information of the sensor,
- wherein, when determining that the touch input is released, the touch determining unit inputs the determined dial.
