Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling a virtual screen in a touch screen device are provided. The method includes detecting a touch screen input on a screen view, the screen view displaying a partial area of the virtual screen on a display unit of the electronic device, determining whether the touch screen input is a stylus input or a touch input, the stylus input being executed by a user controlling a stylus and the touch input being executed by the user using a body part of the user, processing the stylus input as a manipulation input corresponding to the virtual screen when the touch screen input is the stylus input, and moving the screen view on the virtual screen in response to a touch movement of the touch input when the touch screen input is the touch input.
