The invention discloses a control method for electronic equipment. The method comprises the steps of acquiring touch parameters of touch operation, and determining the application mode corresponding to the current touch operation according to the corresponding relation between the preset touch parameters and the application mode; and identifying and executing an operation command corresponding to the current touch operation according to the touch operation rule under the operation mode. According to the control method disclosed by the invention, the electronic equipment can be switched to the corresponding application mode according to the touch parameters of the touch operation, and then the touch operation is identified and executed based on the touch operation rule under the application rule, for a user, the application mode can be switched by only carrying out the touch operation corresponding to the touch parameters of the certain application mode, the switch process of the application mode is simplified, the operation time is shortened, and the rapidity of the user operation is improved, so the user experience is improved. The invention also provides electric equipment.
