Abstract

The application relates to a device control method and apparatus, a storage medium, a processor, and a terminal. A device has a WIFI module for WIFI connection and a Bluetooth module for Bluetooth connection. The device control method includes: acquiring a network module status of the device, wherein the network module status indicates whether the WIFI module or Bluetooth module of the device is enabled; if the WIFI module and the Bluetooth module are enabled, detecting wireless data packet features in a wireless network environment where the device is located; and controlling the device according to the detected wireless data packet features so that one of the WIFI module and the Bluetooth module is enabled and the other one of the WIFI module and the Bluetooth module is disabled. The technical solution of the application causes a WIFI and Bluetooth dual-mode device to intelligently select an operating mode, and avoids interference caused by the coexistence of radio frequency signals.
