This application provides a device control method and a device. Based on a dependency relationship between a first application and a second application, the second application may be installed on a first device, so that the first application may obtain, from a server corresponding to the second application through the second application, a resource for performing a response operation by the device. This not only saves storage space and running space for installing an application on the first device and reduces consumption of traffic for downloading the application, but also reduces costs of an interconnection between a device vendor and an application vendor.
