The method is applied to the electronic device, and the method includes: obtaining, by the electronic device, an identity of the electronic device; obtaining, by the electronic device, a target matching number according to the identity; and determining, by the electronic device, a ringtone corresponding to the target matching number, and setting the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as a ringtone of the electronic device. A probability that electronic devices of a same model use a same ringtone can be lowered by implementing the embodiments of the present invention. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 -20. (canceled) ### Claim 21 A ringtone setting method, applied to an electronic device, comprising: obtaining, by the electronic device, an identity of the electronic device; obtaining, by the electronic device, a target matching number according to the identity determining, by the electronic device, a ringtone corresponding to the target matching number; and setting, by the electronic device, the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as a ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, wherein obtaining the target matching number comprises: obtaining, by the electronic device, a remainder via dividing a value corresponding to the identity by a quantity of ringtone files; and setting, by the electronic device, the remainder as the target matching number. ### Claim 23 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, wherein obtaining the target matching number comprises: setting, by the electronic device, a value formed by preset M digits in a value corresponding to the identity as the target matching number; or adding up, by the electronic device, preset N digits in another value corresponding to the identity to obtain the target matching number, the M comprising a positive integer greater than or equal to one, and the N comprising a positive integer greater than or equal to two. ### Claim 24 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, wherein the identity comprises at least one of an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), a mobile equipment identifier (MEID), a phone number, or a first startup time. ### Claim 25 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, wherein after determining the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number and setting the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device, the method further comprises: detecting, by the electronic device, a ringtone in a surrounding environment; determining, by the electronic device, whether the detected ringtone is same as the ringtone of the electronic device; and changing, by the electronic device, the ringtone of the electronic device when the detected ringtone is same as the ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 26 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, further comprising: outputting, by the electronic device, prompt information indicating setting the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device; receiving, by the electronic device, indication information instructing to set the ringtone as the ringtone of the electronic device; and setting, by the electronic device, the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 27 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, further comprising outputting prompt information indicating that the ringtone has been changed. ### Claim 28 An electronic device, comprising: a memory configured to store an instruction; and a processor coupled to the memory, the instruction causing the processor to be configured to: obtain an identity of the electronic device; obtain a target matching number according to the identity; determine a ringtone corresponding to the target matching number; and set the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as a ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 29 (depends on 28) The electronic device of claim 28, wherein in a manner of obtaining the target matching number, the instruction further causes the processor to be configured to: obtain a remainder via dividing a value corresponding to the identity by a quantity of ringtone files; and set the remainder as the target matching number. ### Claim 30 (depends on 23) The electronic device of claim 23, wherein in a manner of obtaining the target matching number, the instruction further causes the processor to be configured to: set a value formed by preset M digits in a value corresponding to the identity as the target matching number; or add up preset N digits in another value corresponding to the identity to obtain the target matching number, the M comprising a positive integer greater than or equal to one, and the N comprising a positive integer greater than or equal to two. ### Claim 31 (depends on 28) The electronic device of claim 28, wherein the identity comprises at least one of an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), a mobile equipment identifier (MEID), a phone number, or a first startup time. ### Claim 32 (depends on 28) The electronic device of claim 28, wherein after determining the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number and setting the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device, the instruction further causes the processor to be configured to: detect a ringtone in a surrounding environment; determine whether the detected ringtone is same as the ringtone of the electronic device; and change the ringtone of the electronic device when the detected ringtone is same as the ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 33 (depends on 28) The electronic, device of claim 28, wherein the instruction further causes the processor to be configured to: output prompt information indicating setting the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device; receive indication information instructing to set the ringtone as the ringtone of the electronic device; and set the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 34 (depends on 28) The electronic device of claim 28, wherein the instruction further causes the processor to be configured to output prompt information indicating that the ringtone has been changed. ### Claim 35 An electronic device, comprising: a memory comprising instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, the instructions causing the processor to be configured to: obtain an identity of the electronic device; obtain a target matching number according to the identity; determine a ringtone corresponding to the target matching number; and set the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as a ringtone of the electronic device. ### Claim 36 (depends on 35) The electronic device of claim 35, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to; obtain a remainder via dividing a value corresponding to the identity by a quantity of ringtone files; and set the remainder as the target matching number. ### Claim 37 (depends on 35) The electronic device of claim 35, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to; set a value formed by preset M digits in a value corresponding to the identity as the target matching number; or add up preset N digits in another value corresponding to the identity to obtain the target matching number, the M comprising a positive integer greater than or equal to one, and the N comprising a positive integer greater than or equal to two. ### Claim 38 (depends on 35) The electronic device of claim 35, wherein the identity comprises at least one of an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), a mobile equipment identifier (MEID), a phone number, or a first startup time. ### Claim 39 (depends on 35) The electronic device of claim 35, the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to: detect a ringtone in a surrounding environment, and determine whether the detected ringtone is same as the ringtone of the electronic device after determining the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number and setting the ringtone corresponding to the target matching number as the ringtone of the electronic device;
