Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a drag to variably change the speed of an object moving on a display unit includes displaying an object and a control region for controlling a movement of the object, wherein if a touch input is detected from the control region, the control unit determines whether duration of a drag input after the initial touch input is longer than a predetermined time period, then the control unit defines a ratio of a drag speed and an object speed, based on the determination outcome so that the object is moved in response to the drag input according to the defined ratio.
