Abstract

The present application provides a control method, apparatus and system. A method comprises: detecting a signal in a circuit; in response to detection of a loopback signal in the circuit, determining that a loop is formed by at least one part of a capacitive touch screen, a device and a user; and in response to formation of the loop, disabling or enabling a function corresponding to the at least one part of the capacitive touch screen. By use of the technical solution provided in the present application, formation of a loop is determined through detection of a loopback signal, thereby determining identity of the user, to disable or enable at least one function. In a scenario like driving, the user's multitasking can be effectively avoided, thereby improving security.
