Abstract: An electronic device controlling method and a user registration method are provided. In the electronic device controlling method, when a target device receives a first and a second control commands which are identical, but performed by different users simultaneously or separately, the target device performs a first predetermined operation based on an identity of the user performing the first control command, and performs a second predetermined operation based on an identity of the user performing the second control command. In the user registration method, a user registered identity model corresponding to a user to be registered is established according to identity information of the user, and is mapped to a user profile comprising a relationship between the control commands and the predetermined operations. By acquiring the registered information, the target device is able to perform the user dependent operations.
