A method of controlling a toy using an electronic device includes generating a control interface that includes at least one function button. The control interface is displayed on a 3D touch screen of the electronic device. A pressure value on the at least one function button is obtained, when the at least one function button is not divided into different areas. An acceleration speed for the toy is determined according to the detected pressure value. The toy is controlled to execute a function corresponding to the at least one function button based on the determined acceleration speed.
