1. An electronic device, comprising:
a touch module, comprising a touchable region, wherein the touchable region is divided into at least a first touchable region and a second touchable region, the first touchable region is configured to implement a first function, and the second touchable region is configured to implement the first function and a second function; and
a processor, electrically connected to the touch module, wherein when at least one first touch point is detected in the first touchable region, at least one second touch point is detected in the second touchable region, and the processor determines that a distance between the first touch point and the second touch point is within a first predetermined distance, the second touchable region is switched to implementing the first function;
wherein the processor switches the second touchable region from implementing the first function to implementing the second function if one of the following conditions is met, the conditions comprising:
when it is detected in the second touchable region that the last finger touch point is lifted, when a single finger touch point is detected in the second touchable region, a distance between the single finger touch point and the last finger touch point exceeds a second predetermined distance; and
a time interval between a first time point when the last finger touch point is lifted and a second time point when the single finger touch point is pressed exceeds a time threshold.
