The first input may also be a blank input of the user, such as a gesture action, a facial action, etc., and further includes an input of the user to a physical key on the device, not limited to a press, etc. Moreover, the first input comprises one or more inputs, wherein the plurality of inputs may be continuous or time-spaced.

The first input is for a user to operate the first control to initiate a first function indicated by the first control.

For example, the first page is a setting page of the first function, the first control is a switch control, and when the switch control is in an off state, the user clicks the switch control, so that the switch control enters an on state, and the first function indicated by the switch control is started.

Step 130: a second input is received.

Step 140: in response to the second input, in the event of the first function being initiated, a first operation is performed and a reminder message is displayed.

In case the first function is activated, if the user triggers the function by input, a corresponding first operation is performed.

The second input includes touch input made by the user on the screen, and is not limited to click, slide, drag and other inputs. The second input may also be a blank input of the user, such as a gesture action, a facial action, etc., and further includes an input of the user to a physical key on the device, not limited to a press, etc. Moreover, the second input comprises one or more inputs, wherein the plurality of inputs may be continuous or time-spaced.

In this step, the second input user triggers the first function.

For example, the user opens a function of displaying text contents of a call in real time during the call through a first input, and when the user makes a call, the function is triggered so that text contents converted from the other party's call are displayed on a screen. Wherein, the input of the user for making a call is the second input, and the screen display content is the first operation executed.

In this step, while the first operation is performed, a hint message is displayed.

Optionally, the prompt message is a notification message; the prompt message is a popup message.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the screen displays a "XX function page", and at the same time, a notification message 201 is pushed on top of the screen, the notification message 201 includes a prompt that the "XX function is in effect", and the notification message 201 also includes a "set item name" option 202, where the "set item name" option 202 is used to indicate the first jump path.
