1. A command recognition method for an electronic device, the command recognition method comprises the steps of:

  • obtaining at least two first contact points at a side edge of the electronic device;

    according to the at least two first contact points, determining a holding gesture with respect to the electronic device;

    obtaining at least one second contact point at which a contact state is changed on the side edge of the electronic device in a predetermined time period;

    based on the holding gesture, the at least one second contact point and its corresponding contact state change, recognizing a corresponding command by determining a corresponding instruction set and assigning a command to at least one operation area according to a current holding gesture, wherein the command indicates an operation when the contact state of the at least one second contact point corresponds to at least one operation change, and recognizing the corresponding command according to the corresponding contact state change of the at least one second contact point while maintaining the current holding gesture,wherein, the obtaining at least one second contact point comprises;

    obtaining contact points on the side edge of the electronic device and their corresponding contact pressures at a first timing in the predetermined time period; and

    extracting the at least one second contact point from the contact points obtained at the first timing, the at least one second contact point is a part of the at least two first contact points, and the contact pressure of each of the at least one second contact point at the first timing is greater than a predetermined threshold; and

    the corresponding command is recognized as a photographing command, only if the holding gesture is two hands holding,wherein the side edge of the electronic device is divided into six areas and contact at any point in one operation area is obtained as one contact point; and

    when simultaneous contacts at an upper right, a lower right, an upper left, and a lower left area of the side edge are detected, the holding gesture with respect to the electronic device is recognized as two-hands holding.
