It can be understood that when there is no corresponding arrow on the upper side or the lower side of the menu, it indicates that the corresponding side option has been displayed, for example, the upper side of the menu has an upward arrow, but there is no arrow on the lower side, so that when the user slides down on the touch module, the menu keeps the currently displayed option content, the user slides up on the touch module, and the menu switches to another option on the upper side.

Fig. 10A is a schematic diagram of a first-level menu in an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 10B is a schematic diagram of a second-level menu in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10A, the display screen displays a first-level menu for performing a pressing operation on the touch module, and the display screen can switch between the first-level menu and a second-level menu according to the pressure and/or time of the pressing operation. For example, the display screen is currently displayed as the first-level menu shown in fig. 10A, and after the user performs a pressing operation on the touch module, the display screen is switched to the second-level menu shown in fig. 10B. If the display screen is currently displayed as the secondary menu, the display screen is switched to the primary menu after the user presses the touch module.

Illustratively, in the case that the pressure of the pressing operation is greater than or equal to the pressure threshold, the display screen is triggered to switch between different level menus. The specific value of the pressure threshold may be user-defined. For example, pressure threshold options can be displayed on the display screen, and a user can select a pressure threshold suitable for the user from the pressure threshold options, so that the pressing operation is more in line with the requirements of the user. For example, a female user may select a lower numerical pressure threshold and a male user may select a higher numerical pressure threshold. Illustratively, the selectable options for the pressure threshold may include 3N, 4N, or 5N.

Illustratively, in the case that the time of the pressing operation is greater than or equal to the time threshold, the display screen is triggered to switch between the menus of different levels. The specific value of the time threshold may be user-defined. For example, a time threshold option may be displayed on the display screen, and the user may select a time threshold that applies itself from the time threshold option.

For example, the pressure magnitude and the pressing duration can be set simultaneously, for example, when a short press is performed with light force, the first-level menu enters the second-level menu; and the second-level menu enters the first-level menu by long pressing with light force. The force application amount of the light force can be set according to the requirements of users, and the corresponding duration of the short pressing and the long pressing can be set according to the requirements of the users.

For example, in a case where the display screen displays a level one menu, for example, a user may set to press hard and long into the level one menu, for example, into the level one menu of the music playing interface. In the music playing interface, inside the first-level menu, there may also be a corresponding relationship between the type of each touch operation and each execution function. As shown in table 1, for example, after entering the first-level menu of the music playing interface, a user presses the button with a small force to pause the music, slides up and down to increase/decrease the volume, and slides left and right to switch the previous music and the next music. The corresponding relation between the type of each touch operation and each execution function in the menu can be set according to the requirements of users.
