An information processing method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: obtaining first parameter information indicating a current posture of a first body part by a first sensor among M sensors of an electronic device fixed on the first body part； judging whether the first parameter information meets a predetermined condition； determining that the current posture of the first body part is a first posture in a case that the first parameter information meets the predetermined condition； obtaining N second parameters by N sensors other than the first sensor among the M sensors, wherein 1≦N<；M； and determining a first posture direction that the first body part in the first posture points towards based on the N second parameters.
