1 to 3, in a method of providing a user interface according to a gripping form of the terminal 10, first, the controller 17 executes a gripping type classification mode according to a user's request in step S21. Here, the grip type classification mode is a mode in which function keys and menu icons can be arranged according to the grip type of the terminal 10. In this case, the grip type classification mode may be set to be executed or automatically executed at the request of the user.

When the grip type classification mode is executed, the control unit 17 activates the sensor unit 14 in step S23. In this way, the controller 17 may detect the infrared change or the pressure change of the sensor unit 14 according to the contact of the user to distinguish the gripping form of the terminal 10. Here, the sensor unit 14 may be located at both sides of the terminal 10, it may be composed of a plurality of proximity sensors or pressure sensors.

When the sensor unit 14 is activated, the controller 17 determines whether a contact is detected in step S25. At this time, if a touch is detected, the terminal 10 checks the time when the touch is detected in step S27. Here, the controller 17 checks the time detected in step S29 to determine whether the user's contact is detected for a predetermined time or more. That is, the controller 17 determines whether a contact is detected for a time corresponding to a threshold set in order to prevent a malfunction of the terminal 10. On the other hand, if no contact is detected, the terminal 10 continues to activate the function of the sensor unit 14 in step S23 to check whether the contact is detected.

If a contact is detected for a predetermined time or more, the terminal 10 distinguishes a grip type according to the touch in step S31. On the other hand, if the contact is detected less than the preset time, the terminal 10 waits for the function key setting, and continues checking the time when the contact is detected.

When the gripping forms are divided, the terminal 10 arranges the function keys according to the gripping forms classified at step S33. For example, the terminal 10 may be configured by mapping a specific function to a function key located on the left side of the terminal 10 when the separated grip type is a right hand grip. In addition, the terminal 10 may be configured by mapping a specific function to a function key located on the right side of the terminal 10 when the separated grip type is a left hand grip. Here, the function key may be one of a volume key, a camera key and a shortcut key of the terminal 10.

The terminal 10 may rearrange the menu icons on the screen according to the grip types separated in step S35. For example, the terminal 10 may arrange the menu icons from the right side to the left side when the separated grip form is the right hand grip. In addition, the terminal 10 may arrange the menu icons from the left side to the right side when the separated grip form is the left hand grip.

The order of the process of arranging function keys according to the gripping form of the terminal 10 and rearranging the menu icons of the screen is not limited thereto. That is, the terminal 10 may rearrange the menu icons and arrange the function keys when the grip types according to the user's contact are classified. In addition, the terminal 10 may arrange menu icons and function keys at the same time according to the gripping form.

At this time, if a touch is detected, the terminal 10 checks the time at which the touch is detected. Here, when a contact is detected for more than a predetermined time, the terminal 10 distinguishes a grip type according to the contact. When the gripping forms are divided, the terminal 10 arranges the function keys according to the divided gripping forms.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the terminal 10 may identify that the user's grip form is left-hand grip through the sensor unit 14. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the terminal 10 may set specific functions by mapping specific functions to the function keys 14a and 14b located on the right side of the terminal 10 according to a separate gripping form. Here, the terminal 10 may map volume keys among function keys.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the terminal 10 may identify that the user's grip form is a right hand grip through the sensor unit 14. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the terminal 10 may set specific functions by mapping specific functions to function keys 14e and 14f located on the left side of the terminal 10 according to the divided gripping form. Here, the terminal 10 may map volume keys among function keys. Meanwhile, the terminal 10 may map one of a camera key and a shortcut key of the terminal 10 as a function key.

In addition, the terminal 10 may rearrange the menu icons on the screen according to the divided gripping form. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 8, when the separated grip form is a left hand grip, the terminal 10 may arrange the numeric keys of the menu icons from the left side to the right side. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the terminal 10 may arrange the numeric keys of the menu icons from the right side to the left side when the separated grip form is the right hand grip.
