Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a terminal and method for controlling a screen. The method comprises: during a calling or call originating process of the terminal, determining whether a distance between a specified area and a human body is larger than a distance threshold value based on an electrical signal generated by the screen when the specified area of a screen of the terminal gets close to the human body; controlling the screen to be off if it is determined that the distance is not larger than the distance threshold value, and controlling the screen to be on if it is determined that the distance is larger than the distance threshold value. By adopting the technical solution disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the on and off status of the screen can be controlled more precisely during the calling or call originating process of the terminal.
