Claim Text:
1. A misoperation-preventing method for use in a mobile terminal having a touch screen, comprising: 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; disabling the touch screen if it is determined that the distance satisfies the preset distance condition, wherein the disabling includes causing the mobile terminal to transition into a screen-off state preset by an operating system of the mobile terminal, and to report a cause for transitioning into the screen-off state for the operating system to judge, on the basis of the cause for transitioning into the screen-off state, whether to implement a control command given by a user not through the touch screen; enabling the touch screen if it is determined that the distance does not satisfy the preset distance condition; determining whether the distance continues to not satisfy the preset distance condition for a preset time period; and stopping monitoring of the distance between the mobile terminal and the object in the surrounding environment, if it is determined that the distance continues to not satisfy the preset distance condition for the preset time period.
