Abstract
An apparatus and method for determining a user input pattern in a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a sensing unit, a pattern management unit, and an output management unit. The sensing unit includes a sensor for sensing light, and measuring a sensed value for light. The pattern management unit determines an input pattern of a user based on a measured value of the sensing unit. The output management unit performs an operation corresponding to the input pattern determined by the pattern management unit.
