CLAIM FOR PRIORITY 
       [0001]    This application claims priority to Chinese Application Nos. 201511034190.X and 201511031398.6, filed on Dec. 31, 2015, the contents of which are fully incorporated by reference herein. 
       FIELD 
       [0002]    The subject matter described herein relates to the technologies of information processing, and in particular, to an information processing method and an electronic device. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Operations of a smartphone or a tablet computer PAD usually include touch, slide, a predetermined number of taps, and the like, for example, entering into a desktop interface from a black screen by using a slide operation, entering to an alarm clock application setting interface from an application display interface by using a tab operation performed on an alarm clock application, and returning to a desktop interface from a browser interface by touching a Home key. These gestures are relatively simple, and because so, misoperation and error response would be more likely to occur. Electronic devices supporting more complex gestures such as rotatable functions and press functions (with increased misoperations) are becoming more and more popular.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0017]    It will be readily understood that the components of the embodiments, as generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations in addition to the described example embodiments. Thus, the following more detailed description of the example embodiments, as represented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments, as claimed, but is merely representative of example embodiments. 
         [0018]    Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” (or the like) means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearance of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” or the like in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. 
         [0019]    Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the various embodiments can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, et cetera. In other instances, well known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obfuscation. 
         [0020]    An embodiment of an information processing method according to the present invention is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device is a device supporting a rotatable function and a press function. 
         [0021]      FIG. 1  is a schematic flow diagram showing implementation of an embodiment of an information processing method according to the present invention. As shown in  FIG. 1 , the method includes: 
         [0022]    Step  101 : Detect a first operation to obtain a detection result. Herein, the electronic device detects an operation, for example, an operation performed on the electronic device by a user. 
         [0023]    Step  102 : Process the detection result. Herein, the detection result of the first operation is processed. 
         [0024]    Step  103 : If the detection result indicates that the first operation meets a first, but not a second condition, generate a first instruction and respond to the first instruction; if the detection result indicates that the first operation meets the second, but not the first condition, generate a second instruction and respond to the second instruction; and if the detection result indicates that the first operation meets the first and the second conditions, generate a third instruction and respond to the third instruction. 
         [0025]    Herein, with regard to the electronic device supporting a rotatable function and a press function, this embodiment is used to classify whether the first operation is a rotation operation, a press operation, or a rotation and press operation. If the first condition is a condition that a rotation operation meets, and the second condition is a condition that a press operation meets, when a first resolution result meets the first condition, but not the second condition, an instruction is generated based on a rotation operation (a rotation instruction), and the instruction is responded; when the first resolution result meets the second condition, but not the first condition, an instruction is generated based on a press operation (a press instruction), and the instruction is responded; and when the first resolution result simultaneously meets the first and the second conditions, an instruction is generated based on a rotation operation and a press operation (a rotation and press instruction), and the instruction is responded. Certainly, the first condition may further be a condition that a press operation meets, and accordingly, the second condition is a condition that a rotation operation meets. 
         [0026]    To sum up, in an embodiment, a first operation is detected; a detection result of the first operation is processed; an instruction to be generated is determined by determining whether the detection result meets a first condition and a second condition; and the instruction is responded. A particular type of instruction to be generated is determined by determining whether the detection result meets the first condition and the second condition, so as to effectively avoid a misoperation of an electronic device supporting a rotatable function and a press function, improve user experience, and highlight functional diversity of the electronic device. 
         [0027]    An embodiment of the information processing method is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device is a device supporting a rotatable function and a press function. In this embodiment, the device supporting a rotatable function and a press function is of a round shape, or certainly, it may be of any other appropriate shape. As shown in  FIG. 2 , the electronic device includes at least a first body  11  and a second body  12 . The second body  12  may be regarded as a display area of the electronic device. A rotation operation may be implemented on the electronic device by performing a clockwise/counterclockwise rotation movement on the first body  11 . The rotation operation may be regarded as a rotation operation performed on the whole electronic device, or may be regarded as a rotation operation performed on content displayed in a display unit of the electronic device. A press operation may be implemented on the electronic device by pressing the first body  11  in the display unit. When detecting a rotation operation and/or a press operation, the electronic device may change a display interface in the display unit. 
         [0028]      FIG. 3  is a schematic flow diagram of implementation of an embodiment of an information processing method. As shown in  FIG. 3 , the method includes: 
         [0029]    Step  301 : A first sensor obtains a first parameter indicating a rotation angle caused by the first operation, and a second sensor obtains a second parameter indicating an external force applied by the first operation. Herein, the electronic device detects an operation, for example, an operation performed on the first body  11  by a user; the first sensor is configured to detect a rotation angle of the first body  11  caused by the first operation; and the second sensor is configured to detect an external force, for example, a pressure applied to the first body by the first operation. 
         [0030]    Step  302 : If the first parameter reaches a first threshold and the second parameter fails to reach a second threshold, generate the first instruction; if the first parameter fails to reach the first threshold and the second parameter reaches the second threshold, generate the second instruction; and if the first parameter reaches the first threshold and the second parameter reaches the second threshold, generate the third instruction. 
         [0031]    Herein, the first condition is an allowed minimum rotation angle ‘a’ (the first threshold) of the first body that is subjected to a rotation operation, and the second condition is an allowed minimum external force ‘b’ (the second threshold) applied to the first body that is subjected to a press operation. A relationship between the first parameter and the first threshold and a relationship between the second parameter and the second threshold are determined. When it is determined that the first parameter reaches the first threshold and the second parameter fails to reach the second threshold, it indicates that a rotation angle of the first body caused by the first operation meets the first condition, but an external force applied to the first body by the first operation fails to meet the second condition. Therefore, it can be determined that the first operation is a rotation operation. A rotation instruction is generated and responded. When it is determined that the first parameter fails to reach the first threshold and the second parameter reaches the second threshold, it indicates that the rotation angle of the first body caused by the first operation fails to meet the first condition, but the external force applied to the first body by the first operation meets the second condition. Therefore, it can be determined that the first operation is a press operation. A press instruction is generated and responded. When it is determined that the first parameter reaches the first threshold and the second parameter reaches the second threshold, it indicates that the rotation angle of the first body caused by the first operation meets the first condition, and the external force applied to the first body meets the second condition. Therefore, it can be determined that the first operation is a rotation and press operation, that is, the first operation is a composite operation. A rotation and press instruction is generated and responded. The first threshold and the second threshold are flexibly set according to actual usage conditions, for example, the first threshold is 20°, and the second threshold is 3 N (Newton), and the like. 
         [0032]    The third instruction, that is, the rotation and press instruction may further be considered as an instruction that is triggered by using a combination of at least one first instruction and at least one second instruction. The third instruction may be used as a shortcut instruction, which may be used to implement a shortcut operation on an electronic device, such as a selection operation and a confirmation operation. If the third instruction is an instruction that is triggered by using a combination of at least one first instruction and at least one second instruction, the combined instruction is triggered by the at least one first instruction and the at least one second instruction that are in a particular sequence. For example, a rotation instruction generated first+a press instruction generated later are used to return from a current interface of an electronic device to a home interface, and a press instruction generated first+a rotation instruction generated later are used to enter a browser interface from the current interface. Different sequences of instructions in the combined instruction represent different operations. Besides, the third instruction is used as a shortcut instruction, so as to avoid a problem of entering, by performing frequent press and rotation operations on the electronic device, a target display interface. For example, it is assumed that a user intends to enter a target display interface, that is, an interface C from a current display interface A, common operations are: first performing two rotation operations to enable an electronic device to enter a display interface B from the current display interface A, and then performing a press operation to enable the electronic device to enter the display interface C from the display interface B. In this embodiment, only one press operation and one rotation operation are required, so as to directly enter the display interface C from the display interface A. Therefore, directly entering the display interface C from the display interface A can be implemented, operations are relatively simple, and multiple rotations and multiple presses are not required, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of entering, by performing frequent press and rotation operations on an electronic device, a target display interface. 
         [0033]    In practical applications, the first body  11  and the second body  12  may be connected by using a connection apparatus, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the connection apparatus is a main axis, that is, a rotation shaft  40 . One end of the rotation shaft  40  is connected to the second body  12 , and the rotation shaft  40  may rotate relative to the second body  12 . The other end of the rotation shaft  40  is securely connected to the first body  11 . When the first body  11  is rotated, the first body  11  drives the rotation shaft  40  to rotate, thereby implementing rotation of the first body  11  relative to the second body  12 . The first sensor is configured to detect an angle by which the first body rotates around the main axis, that is, the rotation shaft  40 . When a user holds the first body  11  or uses a finger to enable the first body  11  to perform clockwise/counterclockwise rotation, that is, an angle by which the first body  11  rotates around a first preset direction reaches a first threshold, the first body  11  rotates relative to the second body  12 . The first body  11  rotates around the first preset direction, that is, the first body  11  rotates around a direction of the main axis, and a direction of a first main axis is an axial direction of the rotation shaft  40 , as shown in a dotted line in  FIG. 4 . 
         [0034]    The first body  11  has a particular thickness, has a structure similar to a cyclic structure, a cylindrical structure, and the like, and has at least a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is an upper surface  111 , and the second surface is a side surface  112 . A press operation may be performed on the upper surface  111  of the first body  11 , or may be performed on the side surface  112  of the first body  11 , as shown in  FIG. 5 . If the press operation is performed on the upper surface  111  of the first body  11 , and a user&#39;s finger is pressed on the upper surface  111 , a direction of a pressure applied on the first body  11  by the press operation is perpendicular to the upper surface  111 , that is, a direction parallel to the direction of the main axis. In this case, the second sensor may be disposed on the upper surface  111  or on the interior of the upper surface  111  of the first body  11 . If the press operation is performed on the side surface  112  of the first body  11 , and a user&#39;s finger is pressed on the side surface  112  or a user holds the electronic device by holding the side surface  112 , a direction of a pressure applied by the press operation is a tangential direction of the side surface  112 , that is, the direction of the applied pressure is perpendicular to the direction of the main axis. In this case, the second sensor may be disposed on the side surface  112  or on the interior of the side surface  112  of the first body  11 . That is, the direction of the pressure applied to the first body  11  by the press operation may be the same as the direction of the main axis, or may be opposite to the direction of the main axis, which is determined by an operation area, such as the side surface  112  or the upper surface  111 , of the press operation. 
         [0035]    The first sensor may be disposed on the first surface or the second surface, or on the interior of the first/the second surface. Certainly, positions for disposing the first sensor and the second sensor may be other positions of the electronic device, as long as the rotation angle of the first body and the external force applied to the first body can be detected, but are not specifically limited in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the first sensor may be any sensor capable of detecting an angle, such as an angular transducer and a gyroscope, and the second sensor may be any sensor capable of detecting an applied external force, such as a pressure sensor, but are not specifically limited herein. This solution provides different operation areas for press operations of the user, so as to effectively improve user experience of the user and represent human centered properties of the operations. 
         [0036]    In an embodiment, an operation type (a press operation, a rotation operation, and a press and rotation operation) of a first operation is determined by comparing a first parameter and a first threshold and comparing a second parameter and a second threshold, a corresponding instruction is generated according to the operation type, and the instruction is responded. The operation type of the first operation is determined through a rotation angle of a first body caused by the first operation, and an external force applied to the first body by the first operation, so as to effectively avoid a misoperation of an electronic device supporting a rotatable function and a press function, improve user experience, and highlight functional diversity of the electronic device. 
         [0037]    In an embodiment, the responding to the first instruction includes: generating, on the basis of the first instruction, a first control instruction, and sending the first control instruction to a second device, so as to enable a change in a first property of the second device; the responding to the second instruction includes: generating, on the basis of the second instruction, a second control instruction, and sending the second control instruction to the second device, so as to enable a change in a second property of the second device; and the responding to the third instruction includes: generating, on the basis of the third instruction, a third control instruction, and sending the third control instruction to the second device, so as to enable a change in a third property of the second device, wherein the first property, the second property, and the third property are different from one another. That is, in the description, different properties of the same second device may be controlled. In a specific implementation process, the electronic device may be a remote control apparatus, and the generated first control instruction, second control instruction, and third control instruction are sent to another electronic device, such as the second device, for processing. For example, the electronic device may be an air conditioner remote control that has functions of controlling wind speed, temperature, and dehumidification. The first body  11  is used as a control knob disposed on the electronic device. When the control knob is only rotated, the first control instruction is generated, and the first control instruction is sent to the air conditioner, so as to control the wind speed of the air conditioner to be increased or decreased. When the control knob is only pressed, the second control instruction is generated, and the second control instruction is sent to the air conditioner, so as to enable the temperature of the air conditioner to be increased or decreased. When the control knob is simultaneously rotated and pressed, the third control instruction is generated, and the third control instruction is sent to the air conditioner, so as to control the dehumidification function of the air conditioner to be turned on or turned off. 
         [0038]    In an embodiment, the responding to the first instruction includes: generating, on the basis of the first instruction, a first control instruction, and sending the first control instruction to a second device, so as to enable a change in a property of the second device; the responding to the second instruction includes: generating, on the basis of the second instruction, a second control instruction, and sending the second control instruction to a third device, so as to enable a change in a property of the third device; and the responding to the third instruction includes: generating, on the basis of the third instruction, a third control instruction, and sending the third control instruction to a fourth device, so as to enable a change in a property of the fourth device. That is, this electronic device can control different properties of different devices or a same property of different devices. For example, the electronic device may be a remote control that can control corresponding properties, for example, a switch, wind speed of an air conditioner, temperature of the air conditioner, output volume of a television, and cooling temperature of a refrigerator, of household appliances such as an air conditioner, a television, and a refrigerator. The first body  11  is used as a control knob disposed on the electronic device. When the control knob is only rotated, the first control instruction is generated, and the first control instruction is sent to the air conditioner (the second device), so as to control the wind speed of the air conditioner to be increased or decreased. When the control knob is only pressed, the second control instruction is generated, and the second control instruction is sent to the television (the third device), so as to enable the output volume of the television to be increased or decreased. When the control knob is simultaneously rotated and pressed, the third control instruction is generated, and the third control instruction is sent to the refrigerator (the fourth device), so as to control the cooling temperature of the refrigerator to be decreased or increased. 
         [0039]    In an embodiment, a first display interface is acquired when the first operation is acquired; accordingly, the responding to the first instruction includes: switching from the first display interface to a second display interface; the responding to the second instruction includes: switching from the first display interface to a third display interface; and the responding to the third instruction includes: switching from the first display interface to a fourth display interface, wherein the second display interface, the third display interface, and the fourth display interface are different from one another. 
         [0040]    With regard to the electronic device shown in  FIG. 2 , the second body  12  may be used as a display unit of the electronic device. When the electronic device detects the first operation, the display unit of the electronic device displays a home interface, as shown in  FIG. 6( a ) , and displays content such as a date, a time, and a temperature. The first body  11  is used as a control knob disposed on the electronic device. When the control knob is only rotated, the first instruction is generated, so as to switch a display interface from the original home interface to a light brightness adjustment interface, as shown in  FIG. 6( b ) , wherein a display interface whose light brightness is adjusted to 65%. When the control knob is only pressed, the second instruction is generated, so as to switch the display interface from the original home interface to a setting interface, as shown in  FIG. 6( c ) , an air purifier is set to a turned off mode (a power off icon), a sleep mode (a moon icon), a turned on mode (a first snowflake icon, e.g. an icon of more snowflakes), or a rapid purification mode (a second snowflake icon, e.g. an icon of less snowflakes). When the control knob is rotated and pressed, the third instruction is generated, so as to switch the display interface from the original home interface to a music player interface, as shown in  FIG. 6( d ) . That is, the rotation operation, the press operation, and the rotation and press operation, as several operation types of the electronic device, can switch display interfaces, and after the operations of the several operation types are performed, the display interfaces obtained after switching are different. Certainly, it may be set that switching from three different display interfaces to a same display interface is implemented by using the different types of operations, or it may be set that switching from a same display interface to another same display interface may be implemented by using the different types of operations, which can be flexibly set according to actual usage situations. 
         [0041]    It should be noted that with regard to the first operation being a rotation and press operation, the operation may be implemented in a manner that a left/right hand of a user performs clockwise/counterclockwise rotation on the first body, and a right/left hand presses the first body. Alternatively, a left/right hand of a user performs clockwise/counterclockwise rotation on the first body while retaining the left/right hand, so as to press the first body while performing the clockwise/counterclockwise rotation on the first body, as shown in a gesture solid line-dotted line in  FIG. 6( d ) .

Please refer to relevant description of  FIG. 5  for details, as the details will not repeated herein.

         [0055]    The present invention provides an embodiment of an electronic device, and the electronic device is a device supporting a rotatable function and a press function. As shown in  FIG. 8 , the electronic device includes: 
         [0056]    a first detection unit  801 , that detects a first operation to obtain a detection result; 
         [0057]    a first processing unit  802 , that processes the detection result; 
         [0058]    a first response unit  803 , that generates a first instruction and respond to the first instruction if the detection result indicates that the first operation meets a first, but not a second condition; 
         [0059]    a second response unit  804 , that generates a second instruction and responds to the second instruction if the detection result indicates that the first operation meets the second, but not the first condition; and 
         [0060]    a third response unit  805 , that generates a third instruction and responds to the third instruction if the detection result indicates that the first operation meets the first and the second conditions. 
         [0061]    The first detection unit  801  obtains, by using a first sensor, a first parameter indicating a rotation angle caused by the first operation, and obtains, by using a second sensor, a second parameter indicating an external force applied by the first operation. 
         [0062]    The first processing unit  802  is configured to trigger the first response unit  803  when determining that the first parameter reaches a first threshold and the second parameter fails to reach the second threshold, and the first response unit  803  generates the first instruction; 
         [0063]    the first processing unit  802  triggers the second response unit  804  when determining that the first parameter fails to reach the first threshold and the second parameter reaches the second threshold, and the second response unit  804  generates the second instruction; and 
         [0064]    the first processing unit  802  triggers the third response unit  805  when determining that the first parameter reaches the first threshold and the second parameter reaches the second threshold, and the third response unit  805  generates the third instruction. The third instruction is an instruction that can be triggered by a combination of at least one first instruction and at least one second instruction. 
         [0065]    The first sensor of the first detection unit  801  detects an operation of rotating around a main axis; the rotation angle is an angle of rotation around the main axis; and a direction of the external force is the same as a direction of the main axis, or is perpendicular to the direction of the main axis. 
         [0066]    The electronic device further includes a communication unit and a display unit, wherein 
         [0067]    the first response unit  803  generates a first control instruction on the basis of the first instruction, and accordingly, the communication unit sends the first control instruction to a second device, so as to enable a change in a first property of the second device; 
         [0068]    the second response unit  804  generates a second control instruction on the basis of the second instruction, and accordingly, the communication unit sends the second control instruction to the second device, so as to enable a change in a second property of the second device; and 
         [0069]    the third response unit  805  generates a third control instruction on the basis of the third instruction, and accordingly, the communication unit sends the third control instruction to the second device, so as to enable a change in a third property of the second device. The first property, the second property, and the third property are different from one another. 
         [0070]    The first response unit  803  generates a first control instruction on the basis of the first instruction, and accordingly, the communication unit sends the first control instruction to a second device, so as to enable a change in a property of the second device; 
         [0071]    the second response unit  804  generates a second control instruction on the basis of the second instruction, and accordingly, the communication unit sends the second control instruction to a third device, so as to enable a change in a property of the third device; and 
         [0072]    the third response unit  805  generates a third control instruction on the basis of the third instruction, and accordingly, the communication unit sends the third control instruction to a fourth device, so as to enable a change in a property of the fourth device. 
         [0073]    The first detection unit  801  acquires a first display interface when acquiring the first operation; 
         [0074]    the first response unit  803  switches from the first display interface to a second display interface, and the display unit displays the second display interface; 
         [0075]    the second response unit  804  switches from the first display interface to a third display interface, and the display unit displays the third display interface; and
