Abstract

Disclosed are a terminal prompt mode adjusting method and a terminal. The method includes that signal intensity of a Bluetooth device is detected through a terminal, a prompt mode is matched to a preset prompt mode of the terminal according to the detected signal intensity, and a current prompt mode of the terminal is adjusted to be a successfully-matched prompt mode. Thus, the prompt mode of the terminal can meet the current actual needs of a user, and accordingly the user experience is enhanced. Also, a corresponding relationship is established between signal intensity levels and various prompt modes, and the prompt mode is specifically set as a vibration mode or/and sound prompt modes with different volumes, thus creating more options for dynamic adjustment of the terminal, bringing in a simpler matching process, improving the matching rate of the terminal, and further enhancing the operation experience of users.
