1. An information switching method on an exchange between a first speaker speaking in a first input language and a second speaker speaking in a second input language different than the first input language, the method comprising:
detecting, by a camera of a device, that a tilt direction of the device changes and obtaining tilting information, wherein the tilt information includes a horizontal angle with respect to a horizontal reference direction, and the horizontal reference direction is a direction from a center of a reference button on the device to a center of a horizontal cross-sectional plane of the device where the center of the reference button is located;
searching in a mapping relationship a pre-set tilt direction range corresponding to the tilting information, wherein the mapping relationship includes a first tilt direction range corresponding to the first input language spoken by the first speaker and a second tilt direction range corresponding to the second input language spoken by the second speaker, wherein the mapping relationship further includes a correspondence between a third language and a third tilt direction range, and the method further comprises:
configuring the third language corresponding to the third tilt direction range as null in response to identifying that the third tilt direction range is unneeded; and
switching an input language of the device from the first input language to the second input language in response to determining the tilt direction falls within the second tilt direction range.
