The present application provides a data reporting method and apparatus, where the data reporting method includes acquiring current touch operation information; determining, an area that is on a current interface of a touchscreen; determining attribute information of the operation area based on a correspondence between an area and attribute information, where the attribute information of the operation area includes a rate type of an area reported point of the operation area; and determining, from the current touch operation information according to the current touch operation information and the attribute information of the operation area, touch data reported to an application processor, and reporting the data. According to the data reporting method and apparatus, a quantity of interrupts is reduced for an application processor, and usage of the application processor is decreased, thereby reducing power consumption generated when the application processor processes a touchscreen interrupt event.
