A user touch operation mode adaptive method and device are provided, so as to solve the problem of incorrect identification of a user touch operation mode due to different user habits. The technical solution includes: receiving a touch action, and obtaining a touch range value of the touch action according to a touch press coordinate and a touch uplift coordinate of the touch action; and comparing the touch range value of the touch action with a range threshold that is set according to user operation habit for discriminating a touch click mode from a touch slide mode, in which if the touch range value is greater than the range threshold, the touch action is in the touch slide mode, and if the touch range value is not greater than the range threshold, the touch action is in the touch click mode.
