Abstract
A method and a device for restraining edge touches are provided. The device acquires locations of one or more touch points sensed by a terminal at two edges of a screen of the terminal. The device determines a holding manner indicating how the terminal is held according to the locations of the one or more touch points. When the holding manner is a single-hand holding manner indicating that the terminal is held by a single hand, the device determines to trigger a touch restraining detection in a restraining region at one edge of the screen corresponding to the single-hand holding manner, such that touch points sensed within the restraining region do not trigger the terminal to respond to operations input by a user.
