Method and apparatus for drawing geometry figure using multi-touch

2012 
To achieve the above-described subject, a method for drawing a figure in a terminal in correspondence to the input of first and second input units in the terminal including an input unit for identifying at least one input among physical touch and electrical input in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: identifying input locations of the first and second input units input into the input unit; determining the direction of a line and the length of the line to be displayed based on the identified input location; and displaying the line on a display unit based on the determined direction of the line and the determined length of the line. Also, a terminal according to another aspect of the present invention comprises: an input unit identifying at least one input among physical touch and electrical input; a display unit displaying an image based on an input on the input unit; and a control unit identifying input locations of first and second input units input into the input unit, determining the direction of a line and the length of the line to be displayed based on the identified input location, and controlling the display unit to display the line based on the determined direction of the line and the determined length of the line. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a user may input a straight line, a circle and an arc selectively through touch input without selecting a drawing mode separately.
