Method and apparatus for controlling display area in touch screen device, and computer readable medium thereof

A method and an apparatus for controlling the display region of a touch screen device, and a recording medium are provided to change a display region if a user grips the touch screen device, thereby improving the convenience of the user in use for a touch screen. If a user touches a touch screen, a touch is detected(305). It is determined whether the detected touch is to grip a touch screen device(310). The display region of the touch screen device is selectively changed based on the determination(325). If the detected touch is determined as realizing the function of the touch screen device, the display region of the touch screen device is maintained in an original state(320).
