Control method and electronic device

This application discloses a control method and an electronic device. The electronic device generates vibration when performing at least one function. The electronic device includes an acceleration sensor and a feedback circuit. The acceleration sensor is configured to output acceleration data, and the feedback circuit is configured to collect and feed back data related to the vibration. The electronic device obtains, based on a variation of a magnitude of the obtained acceleration data and interference data, a variation obtained after data processing, and performs action recognition. The electronic device performs a corresponding function based on a recognition result, or controls a second electronic device to perform a corresponding function. In this application, time consumption for searching for and locating a corresponding button can be shortened, and operation flexibility can be improved. In addition, when performing a function, the electronic device can accurately recognize another function to be used by the user, and eliminate interference between two or more functions.
