Touch input method and apparatus of portable terminal

Abstract

A touch input method of a portable terminal which enables touch input to an entire region of a touch screen using a partial region of the touch screen in a state where a hand gripping of the portable terminal cannot touch all regions of the touch screen, and an apparatus thereof, are provided. The touch input method includes detecting touch input on one of divided touch regions of a touch screen, detecting a tilted state of the portable terminal when the touch input is detected, determining one of divided touch regions as a touch reflection region in which a touch event generated from a region in which the touch input is detected is reflected according to the detected tilted state of the portable terminal, and processing the touch event generated from the region in which the touch input is detected as the touch event reflected in the touch reflection region.
