• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the terminal to be configured to:
• receive a first operation from a user via a physical volume button of the terminal being held down;
• start a voice service application in response to determining that the physical volume button of the terminal is held down for a time greater than a preset threshold time, wherein the voice service application comprises a background recording function;
• prompt the user to input a voice instruction after the voice service application is started by vibrating the terminal or playing an alert tone;
• receive the voice instruction;
• process the voice instruction using the voice service application to obtain a command;
• acquire a number of a remote device associated with the command, wherein the remote device is a device last called by the terminal;
• dial the number of the remote device;
• perform the background recording function only after starting the voice service application;
• and
• stop the background recording function after providing a call with the remote device.
