Disclosed are a user input device and a method for rapidly selecting an operation mode in a mobile terminal having a touch screen input panel and a fingerprint recognition sensor. The user input method includes setting operation modes for at least one fingerprint data and input pattern, each comprised of keys necessary to implement a corresponding operation mode; detecting fingerprint data inputted from the fingerprint recognition sensor, and confirming an operation mode set for the inputted fingerprint data; and displaying an input pattern corresponding to the confirmed operation mode on the touch screen input panel.

1. A user input device in a mobile terminal having a touch screen, comprising: a user interface having a touch screen input panel for outputting a key signal corresponding to a user's input;an information display unit for displaying input data;a fingerprint recognition sensor for outputting fingerprint data corresponding to a fingerprint pattern of a finger that touches a surface of the fingerprint recognition sensor and fingerprint direction data including a detected cardinal direction corresponding to a fingerprint input trace generated by movement of the finger;a memory for storing a plurality of operation modes, a plurality of input patterns and a plurality of fingerprint data on the user's fingerprint patterns, wherein each of the plurality of fingerprint data corresponds to an operation mode, each of the plurality of operation modes corresponds to an input pattern, and each of the plurality of input patterns includes keys necessary to implement the corresponding operation mode; anda control unit for detecting the fingerprint data input from the fingerprint recognition sensor, confirming an upcoming operation mode corresponding to the input fingerprint data, reading from the memory a current input pattern corresponding to the upcoming operation mode, and displaying the current input pattern on the information display unit,wherein, if first fingerprint data corresponding to an operation mode is the same as second fingerprint data input from the fingerprint recognition sensor, the control unit implements the selected operation mode according to one of a character and a number later entered by the user. 2. The user input device according to claim 1, wherein said control unit initiates an outgoing call to a telephone number input by the user after said control unit confirms that first a call mode is set by the second fingerprint data, and the second fingerprint data is the same as a third fingerprint data currently input from the fingerprint recognition sensor. 3. The user input device according to claim 2, wherein said control unit terminates a fingerprint input mode when the first fingerprint data is input again after implementation of the selected operation mode. 4. The user input device according to claim 1, wherein said control unit temporarily stores text currently input by the user after said control unit confirms that first a text input mode is set by the second fingerprint data and the second fingerprint data is the same as a third fingerprint data currently input from the fingerprint recognition sensor, displays an input pattern for the user to enter a recipient's telephone number, and sends the temporarily stored text to the recipient's telephone number when the third fingerprint data is input again. 5. The user input device according to claim 4, wherein said control unit terminates a fingerprint input mode when the first fingerprint data is input again after implementation of the selected operation mode. 6. The user input device according to claim 1, wherein said memory stores a soft keyboard as an input pattern comprising keys necessary to input characters in a text input mode, the soft keyboard being divided into at least two text input sections. 7. The user input device according to claim 6, wherein said control unit displays an initial text input section of the at least two text input sections on the information display unit after said control unit confirms that the text input mode is set by the first fingerprint data. 8. The user input device according to claim 7, wherein if said control unit detects a fingerprint direction data inputted from the fingerprint recognition sensor after displaying the initial text input section, then said control unit changes the initial text input section to an other text input section of the at least two text input sections, the other text input section corresponding to the input fingerprint direction data. 9. A user input method in a mobile terminal having a touch screen input panel and a fingerprint recognition sensor, comprising: setting a plurality of operation modes, wherein a plurality of input patterns, a plurality of fingerprint data on a user's fingerprint patterns, and the operation modes are stored in the mobile terminal, wherein each of the plurality of fingerprint data corresponds to an operation mode, each of the plurality of operation modes corresponds to an input pattern, and each of the plurality of input patterns includes keys necessary to implement the corresponding operation mode;detecting one of the plurality of fingerprint data corresponding to the user's fingerprint patterns and fingerprint direction data including a detected cardinal direction corresponding to a fingerprint input trace generated by movement of a finger, input from the fingerprint recognition sensor, and confirming an operation mode set by the input fingerprint data;displaying an input pattern corresponding to the confirmed operation mode on the touch screen input panel; andif first fingerprint data corresponding to an operation mode is the same as second fingerprint data input from the fingerprint recognition sensor, implementing the selected operation mode according to one of a character and a number later entered by the user. 10. The user input method according to claim 9, wherein implementing the selected operation mode comprises: confirming that a call mode is set by the second fingerprint data; andinitiating an outgoing call to a telephone number input by the user when the second fingerprint data is same as a third fingerprint data currently input from the fingerprint recognition sensor. 11. The user input method according to claim 10, further comprising terminating a fingerprint input mode when the first fingerprint data is input again after implementation of the selected operation mode. 12. The user input method according to claim 9, wherein implementing the selected operation mode comprises: confirming that a text input mode is set by the second fingerprint data;storing temporarily text currently input by the user when the second fingerprint data is same as a third fingerprint data currently input from the fingerprint recognition sensor;displaying an input pattern for the user to enter a recipient's telephone number; andsending the temporarily stored text to the recipient's telephone number when the third fingerprint data is inputted again. 13. The user input method according to claim 12, further comprising terminating a fingerprint input mode when the first fingerprint data is input again after implementation of the selected operation mode.
