5. The Bluetooth connection method of claim 4 ,

the generating and transmitting of the response data packet to the Bluetooth device further comprises:

in response to determining, from the parsed response to the audio input service request, that the audio input service is disabled, generating and transmitting a null response data packet to the Bluetooth device.

6. The Bluetooth connection method of claim 3 ,

the selecting of the service to be connected further comprises:

in response to determining that the device sub-type does not indicate the Bluetooth speaker, transmitting another service request to the Bluetooth device, and selecting the service to be connected from the services based on a response to the another service request from the Bluetooth device.

7. The Bluetooth connection method of claim 2 , wherein the mode of binding comprises at least one of numeric comparison, just works, out-of-band, or passkey entry.

8. A Bluetooth connection method applied to a Bluetooth device, comprising:

establishing a connection with a smart terminal and binding with the smart terminal, to enable the smart terminal to obtain one or more services supported by the Bluetooth device and a device sub-type of the Bluetooth device and select a service to be connected from the services based on the device sub-type;

upon receiving an audio input service request from the smart terminal, responding to the audio input service request, and transmitting an audio output service request to the smart terminal to trigger the smart terminal to generate and return a response data packet to the Bluetooth device; and

in response to receiving an encryption instruction from the smart terminal, perform an encryption process, to enable the smart terminal to start a connection to an audio input service of the Bluetooth device in response to determining completion of the encryption process and start audio transmission to the Bluetooth device in response to determining success of the connection to the audio input service.

9. The Bluetooth connection method of claim 8 , wherein the establishing of the connection and the binding specifically comprise:

establishing a link connection with the smart terminal;
