Embodiments provide a method, device, storage medium and mobile terminal, for recognizing an Off-screen gesture. The method includes: upon reception in a driver layer of an Off-screen gesture input by a user, determining whether each of preset Off-screen gestures is switched on based on an Off-screen gesture switch that switches on or off the preset Off-screen gesture in the driver layer; matching an switched-on Off-screen gesture with an Off-screen gesture in a preset confusable gesture group, and determining to change a recognition condition for the switched-on Off-screen gesture when the matching indicates there is only one Off-screen gesture in the on state in the confusable gesture group; and when determining to change the recognition condition, replacing, with a preset second recognition condition, a first recognition condition for the switched-on Off-screen gesture in the driver layer, and recognizing a gesture type of the input Off-screen gesture with the second recognition condition. According to the technical solutions, a response is given to the switched-on Off-screen gesture according to an Off-screen gesture configuration made by the user, and moreover, the recognition condition for the switched-on Off-screen gesture is pertinently regulated, so that occurrence of the condition of low Off-screen gesture recognition rate existing at present may be effectively avoided, and the gesture recognition rate is increased.
