Abstract

A control method for an electronic device, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. An electronic device includes a transparent display screen and an infrared sensor. The transparent display screen includes a display area. The infrared sensor is stacked below the display area. The infrared sensor is configured to emit infrared light and receive infrared light reflected by an object, to detect a distance between the object and the electronic device. The control method includes operations as follows. It is determined whether the electronic device is in an outgoing call state. Control is performed to reduce the brightness of the transparent display screen in a case that the electronic device is in the outgoing call state. Control is performed to turn on the infrared sensor to detect a distance between the object and the electronic device.
