Original Abstract Submitted

This application relates to the field of human-computer interaction, and provides a virtual keyboard processing method. The method is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device is provided with a display. The method includes: selecting, in response to a detected first gesture operation, a first type of virtual keyboard corresponding to the first gesture operation from a plurality of types of virtual keyboards, where virtual keys included in different types of virtual keyboards in the plurality of types of virtual keyboards are not completely the same; and displaying the first type of virtual keyboard by using the display. More virtual keys are provided for a user by different types of virtual keyboards. This improves flexibility of a process in which the user enables the virtual keyboard, and helps provide more abundant virtual keys, so that an additional physical keyboard does not need to be provided.
