The invention provides an information processing method. The method is applied to electronic equipment which is provided with a fingerprint identification module. The method comprises the steps that first operating information is obtained, and the first operating information represents the situation that an operation body conducts first operation in a preset input area of the fingerprint identification module; based on the first operating information, a command matched with the first operating information is generated, response to the command is achieved, and certain functions in the electronic equipment are achieved. By adopting the method, based on the fingerprint identification module which is already arranged in the electronic equipment, on the premise of the function that the fingerprint identification module identifies fingerprints of users, the situation that collection of the corresponding commands generated by conducting the operation by user operation bodies in the preset input area of the fingerprint identification module is added, and various functions such as a button function can be achieved. Due to the fact that the fingerprint identification module is a structure already existing in the electronic equipment, on the premise of achieving the button function, independent button structure does not need to be arranged for the various functions such as the button function, and the circuit of the electronic equipment is simplified.
