• a memory storing instructions executable by the processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine a current handheld operation mode of a terminal, the handheld operation mode including at least one of a left hand operation mode, a right hand operation mode and a double hand operation mode;
• determine an operation area corresponding to the current handheld operation mode, activate a surface touch control function of the operation area and display the function key in the operation area, wherein the operation area is independent of a main display area of the terminal and is controlled independently of the main display area, wherein the left hand operation mode corresponds to a left hand operation area, the right hand operation mode corresponds to a right hand operation area, and the double hand operation mode corresponds to a double hand operation area, wherein surface touch control functions of other operation areas are disabled and no function key is displayed in these other operation areas;
• and
• determine whether a user performs a touch control operation on the function key in the operation area, according to a touch position of the user in the operation area and a position of the function key.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile terminal, causes the mobile terminal to perform a touch control method for a function key, the touch control method comprising:

• determining a current handheld operation mode of a terminal, the handheld operation mode including at least one of a left hand operation mode, a right hand operation mode and a double hand operation mode;
• determining an operation area corresponding to the current handheld operation mode, activating a surface touch control function of the operation area and displaying the function key in the operation area, wherein the operation area is independent of a main display area of the terminal and is controlled independently of the main display area, wherein the left hand operation mode corresponds to a left hand operation area, the right hand operation mode corresponds to a right hand operation area, and the double hand operation mode corresponds to a double hand operation area, wherein surface touch control functions of other operation areas are disabled and no function key is displayed in these other operation areas;
• and
• determining whether a user performs a touch control operation on the function key in the operation area according to a touch position of the user in the operation area and a position of the function key.
