Aside menu displaying method, wherein the method comprises receiving (102, 202, 301) a sliding operation starting from a side of a screen; wherein a false touch area comprises an area enclosed by a side of the screen, two sides adjacent to the side of the screen, and a first virtual side parallel with the side of the screen; wherein a false touch threshold is a distance between the side of the screen and the first virtual side; and wherein a direct display area comprises an area enclosed by an opposite side of the side of the screen, two sides adjacent to the side of the screen, and a second virtual side parallel with the side of the screen; wherein a direct display threshold is a distance between the side of the screen and the second virtual side; wherein the direct display area and the false touch area do not mutually overlap; and wherein the direct display threshold is greater than the false touch threshold; wherein the method comprises: detecting whether the sliding operation meets a first condition comprises detecting whether an end position of the sliding operation is within the direct display area, wherein this comprises detecting whether a vertical distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the side of the screen is greater than the direct display threshold; displaying a side menu corresponding to the side of the screen if a detection result is that the sliding operation meets the first condition; if a detection result is that the sliding operation does not meet the first condition, detecting (104, 204, 302) whether the sliding operation meets a second condition, wherein a sliding speed of the sliding operation is greater than a preset threshold, and an end position of the sliding operation is not within a preset false touch area, wherein this comprises detecting whether a vertical distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the side of the screen is greater than the false touch threshold; displaying (106, 205, 303) a side menu corresponding to the side of the screen if a detection result is that the sliding operation meets the second condition; wherein the method further comprises: recording, in a successful triggering sample library, the sliding operation that successfully triggers displaying of the side menu in accordance with the second condition, wherein a sliding operation that successfully triggers displaying of the side menu each time and an end position of each sliding operation are recorded in the successful triggering sample library; and updating a size of the false touch area at a preset time interval according to distribution density of the end positions of the sliding operations on the screen, wherein the end positions are recorded in the successful triggering sample library. detecting whether the sliding operation meets a first condition comprises detecting whether an end position of the sliding operation is within the direct display area, wherein this comprises detecting whether a vertical distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the side of the screen is greater than the direct display threshold; displaying a side menu corresponding to the side of the screen if a detection result is that the sliding operation meets the first condition; if a detection result is that the sliding operation does not meet the first condition, detecting (104, 204, 302) whether the sliding operation meets a second condition, wherein a sliding speed of the sliding operation is greater than a preset threshold, and an end position of the sliding operation is not within a preset false touch area, wherein this comprises detecting whether a vertical distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the side of the screen is greater than the false touch threshold; displaying (106, 205, 303) a side menu corresponding to the side of the screen if a detection result is that the sliding operation meets the second condition; wherein the method further comprises: recording, in a successful triggering sample library, the sliding operation that successfully triggers displaying of the side menu in accordance with the second condition, wherein a sliding operation that successfully triggers displaying of the side menu each time and an end position of each sliding operation are recorded in the successful triggering sample library; and updating a size of the false touch area at a preset time interval according to distribution density of the end positions of the sliding operations on the screen, wherein the end positions are recorded in the successful triggering sample library. recording, in a successful triggering sample library, the sliding operation that successfully triggers displaying of the side menu in accordance with the second condition, wherein a sliding operation that successfully triggers displaying of the side menu each time and an end position of each sliding operation are recorded in the successful triggering sample library; and updating a size of the false touch area at a preset time interval according to distribution density of the end positions of the sliding operations on the screen, wherein the end positions are recorded in the successful triggering sample library.
