The invention provides a method for controlling an application interface through a gesture. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a preset gesture input into a screen for generating a control point by a terminal browser; generating the control point according to the preset gesture input into the screen, wherein the control point is associated with at least one preset region of the screen; acquiring the operation gesture of the control point input into the screen by the terminal browser, and generating the application interface corresponding to the preset region at the control point according to the operation gesture. The conventional interface operation mode is broken through, and the interface control is realized through the gesture on the basis that the visual space of the screen is not occupied, so the layout of the application interface of a mobile terminal is freer.
