The invention relates to a discrete keyboard layout system used in a touch screen of a portable electronic device. The system comprises a left master keyboard area, a right master keyboard area and an additional function area, wherein the additional function area is arranged between the left master keyboard area and the right master keyboard area. The invention also relates to a method for carrying out keyboard layout switching setting and dynamic zooming on the discrete keyboard layout system, an electronic device system for implementing the discrete keyboard layout system, and a method for implementing the setting control of discrete keyboard layout switching based on the electronic device system. By using the discrete keyboard layout system and setting method, corresponding portable electronic device and control method disclosed by the invention, the keyboard position layout function can be changed flexibly so as to accord with the human engineering, thereby obviously reducing the operating complexity of a user and solving the continuity problem of overall error correction of an area of a keyboard; meanwhile, an interface is friendly, the implementation procedure is simple, the application is flexible and efficient, the performance is stable and reliable, and the application range is wide.
