A method for performing an operation on a touchscreen, comprising: receiving, by a terminal, a first touch operation when content currently displayed on the touchscreen includes a first displayed entry corresponding to a first data entry stored in the terminal, a second displayed entry corresponding to a second data entry stored in the terminal, a third displayed entry corresponding to a third data entry stored in the terminal, and a fourth displayed entry corresponding to a fourth data entry stored in the terminal, wherein the first displayed entry, the second displayed entry and the third displayed entry are displayed as being selected, the fourth displayed entry is displayed as being unselected; when multiple displayed entries that a first track of the first touch operation being a sliding track on a preset area passes through include both selected and unselected displayed entries, detecting, by the terminal, - a number of selected displayed entries of the multiple displayed entries that the first track of the first touch operation passes through, and - a number of unselected displayed entries of the multiple displayed entries that the first track of the first touch operation passes through; and selectively performing, by the terminal, a select or deselect operation on each entry of the multiple displayed entries that the first track of the first touch operation passes through according to a difference between the number of the selected display entries and the number of the unselected displayed entries, wherein the preset area is a part of a current operation interface, wherein the touchscreen refers to a screen on which an operation is performed by using a finger or a stylus as a touch device, wherein the sliding track of the first touch operation starts from the first displayed entry and passes through the second displayed entry, the third displayed entry and the fourth displayed entry, and wherein when the number of the selected displayed entries is not less than the number of the unselected displayed entries of the multiple entries that the first track of the touch operation passes through, performing, by the terminal, the deselect operation on the multiple displayed entries that the first track of the touch operation passes through; or when the number of the selected displayed entries is less than the number of the unselected displayed entries of the multiple entries that the first track of the touch operation passes through, performing, by the terminal, the select operation on the multiple entries that the first track of the touch operation passes through. receiving, by a terminal, a first touch operation when content currently displayed on the touchscreen includes a first displayed entry corresponding to a first data entry stored in the terminal, a second displayed entry corresponding to a second data entry stored in the terminal, a third displayed entry corresponding to a third data entry stored in the terminal, and a fourth displayed entry corresponding to a fourth data entry stored in the terminal, wherein the first displayed entry, the second displayed entry and the third displayed entry are displayed as being selected, the fourth displayed entry is displayed as being unselected;
