Abstract

An information processing method and device are provided that relate to the field of information input. A method comprises: in response to that a user performs a touch-sensitive input operation on a touch screen of a device, acquiring contact areas between a gripping hand of the user and a side face of the device in different times; and at least in response to that the at least two contact areas satisfy a first predetermined condition, adjusting an input mode of the device. According to contact areas between a gripping hand of the user and a side face of the device, it can be inferred whether or not the user encounters inconvenient input and timely adjust an input mode of the device, which facilitates user input in the event of maintaining lower power consumption.
