Disclosed are a multi-interface alternating method and an electronic device, comprising: detecting the rotation direction and the rotation position of an alternation control part, comparing the rotation direction with a preset first threshold, and comparing the rotation position with a preset second threshold; accordingly processing a multi-interface alternation on the basis of the first comparison result of the rotation direction with the first threshold and of the second comparison result of the rotation position with the second threshold. Embodiments of the present invention allow the calling out of other interfaces required by a user, such as a setting interface and a search interface, thus implementing the goal of quick alternation between multiple interfaces, and obviating the need for a tedious operation requiring the user to manually operate a touchpad or an operating handle so as to trigger a multi-interface alternation.
