The invention discloses an information processing method and electronic equipment, relates to the field of application of electronic equipment, and solves the problem about inconvenience in operation of turning off a screen of the electronic equipment. The information processing method includes that when the display screen is on, a first sensing unit acquires a first parameter which is used for indicating a first input operation on the electronic equipment from an operator holding the electronic equipment; whether the first parameter meets the first preset condition or not is determined; when the first parameter meets the first preset condition, a second sensing unit acquires a second parameter which is used for indicating a second input operation on the electronic equipment from the surrounding parameters of the electronic equipment; whether the second parameter meets the second preset condition or not is determined, and the second preset condition is used for judging whether the display screen is shaded by something; when the second parameter meets the second preset condition, the display screen is turned off. The information processing method is mainly applied to the control process of cellphone screens.
