ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for retrieving information in a mobile information terminal are provided. The device includes a display, a position detector and a controller. The display displays a data display area for showing information depending on retrieval commands and a button area which is always displayed in a restricted size at a predetermined position and includes a plurality of buttons for inputting at least one command for creating a connection with the host for retrieval, a command for transferring to a retrieval area, and a command for selecting of an item to be searched. The position detector detects positional data corresponding to a button pressed by a user. The controller searches information from the host according to a command corresponding to the positional data detected by the position detector, and allows the searched information to be displayed on the data display area of the display. Accordingly, use of a keyboard can be minimized by installing essential commands in the form of buttons. Also, searched data is conveniently displayed on one screen for a user.
