ABSTRACT:
A mobile communication device includes a side key having at least three buttons disposed on the side of a device body. Each button of the side key has at least two functions assigned differently and independently according to operation mode and key press time. In a method for controlling the side key, at least two functions are assigned to the side key. Receiving a press input from the side key, a control unit determines a key setting type corresponding to the received press input. Then the control unit retrieves a function corresponding to the determined key setting type from the assigned functions, and then performs the retrieved function of the side key.
