Abstract

Provided is a method of recognizing a control command based on finger motion involving: (a) obtaining coordinate data of a pointer corresponding to a position of a finger in contact with a touch input device of a mobile terminal; (b) obtaining an input continuance time of the coordinate data, and setting values of timer variables based on the input continuance time; (c) setting logic values of a plurality of command logic variables whose logic values of True or False are based on values of the respective timer variables; and (d) recognizing an operation control command of the pointer based on the respective timer variable values and the command logic variable values.
