Abstract

A misoperation-preventing method for use in a mobile terminal having a touch screen, includes: monitoring a distance between the mobile terminal and an object in a surrounding environment, after the mobile terminal transitions from a standby state to an active state; determining if the distance satisfies a preset distance condition; and disabling the touch screen if it is determined that the distance satisfies the preset distance condition.
