Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for defining an overlay region for an application in a user interface control region on a screen of a display in a mobile device. The application queries a platform about an overlay region desired to be generated based on a basic resolution set in the application. The platform calculates an approximate region satisfying an overlay region condition for the queried overlay region and informs the application of the approximate region. Thereafter, the application generates an overlay region corresponding to the approximate region, and the platform displays the generated overlay region on the screen.
