Abstract:
1. A method for displaying a cursor of a portable terminal comprising a capacitive overlay type touch screen, the method comprising: detecting one of access by an object on a touch screen and contact by the object with the touch screen; determining whether a value of change of capacitance is one of equal to a first threshold and greater than the first threshold, and is less than a second threshold; displaying a cursor in an area where the change of the capacitance is detected, if the value of the change of capacitance is one of equal to the first threshold and greater than the first threshold, and is less than the second threshold; and performing a function corresponding to the area where the cursor is displayed, if the value of the change of capacitance detected in the area where the cursor is displayed is one of equal to the second threshold and greater than the second threshold.
