Abstract

The present application discloses example information processing methods and electronic devices. One example method includes obtaining a touch gesture operation on a suspended button, and determining, according to the gesture operation, a first pressure intensity value that acts on the suspended button. If a determination is made that the first pressure intensity value is greater than a response pressure threshold, a detection process occurs to determine whether a display location of the suspended button overlaps with a first display icon displayed on a desktop of an electronic device. If it does, a function corresponding to the first display icon is invoked.
