Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for performing a touch operation in a mobile device, the method includes: activating a target operation mode when monitoring a first target operation in a first user interface; mapping a first touch operation event occurring in a first position to a second touch operation event occurring in a second position in the target operation mode; and reporting the second touch operation event occurring in the second position to the first user interface for performing a corresponding operation. By mapping position in an operable area, operation on an area inoperable with one hand of user is realized, avoiding click-help from another hand and improving simplicity and efficiency of touch operations. Since there is no need to perform transformation operations such as zooming on first user interface, user can operate directly, reducing probability of error due to position error after transformation.
