An information processing method, performed by a terminal having a first screen and a second screen, comprising: in a case that running interfaces of applications are separately displayed on the first screen and the second screen, if a target event is received, displaying (101, 201), on a target screen, a floating control that is used to indicate the target event; receiving (102, 202) an input for the floating control; and processing the target event in response to the input for the floating control, wherein the target screen is the first screen or the second screen; wherein the processing the target event in response to the input for the floating control comprises: in a case that the input for the floating control is a first input, controlling an application corresponding to the target event to run in a background; and displaying a user interface of the target event on the target screen in a case that the input for the floating control is a second input; characterized in that running interfaces of different applications are separately displayed on the first screen and the second screen, and the displaying a user interface of the target event on the target screen comprises: obtaining an application whitelist; detecting whether there is an application that does not belong to the application whitelist running on the first screen and the second screen; and if there is the application that does not belong to the application whitelist, displaying the user interface of the target event on a screen corresponding to the application that does not belong to the application whitelist. in a case that running interfaces of applications are separately displayed on the first screen and the second screen, if a target event is received, displaying (101, 201), on a target screen, a floating control that is used to indicate the target event; receiving (102, 202) an input for the floating control; and processing the target event in response to the input for the floating control, wherein the target screen is the first screen or the second screen; wherein the processing the target event in response to the input for the floating control comprises: in a case that the input for the floating control is a first input, controlling an application corresponding to the target event to run in a background; and displaying a user interface of the target event on the target screen in a case that the input for the floating control is a second input; characterized in that running interfaces of different applications are separately displayed on the first screen and the second screen, and the displaying a user interface of the target event on the target screen comprises: obtaining an application whitelist; detecting whether there is an application that does not belong to the application whitelist running on the first screen and the second screen; and if there is the application that does not belong to the application whitelist, displaying the user interface of the target event on a screen corresponding to the application that does not belong to the application whitelist. in a case that the input for the floating control is a first input, controlling an application corresponding to the target event to run in a background; and displaying a user interface of the target event on the target screen in a case that the input for the floating control is a second input; characterized in that running interfaces of different applications are separately displayed on the first screen and the second screen, and the displaying a user interface of the target event on the target screen comprises: obtaining an application whitelist; detecting whether there is an application that does not belong to the application whitelist running on the first screen and the second screen; and if there is the application that does not belong to the application whitelist, displaying the user interface of the target event on a screen corresponding to the application that does not belong to the application whitelist. obtaining an application whitelist; detecting whether there is an application that does not belong to the application whitelist running on the first screen and the second screen; and if there is the application that does not belong to the application whitelist, displaying the user interface of the target event on a screen corresponding to the application that does not belong to the application whitelist.
