Method and module for switching operating mode for near-field communication, and terminal equipment using same. The method includes: acquiring by one device of both devices in near-field communication relevant parameters of the other device including type of the device; determining by the one device whether to switch to a target operating mode according to the relevant parameters of the one device and the other device, or determining whether to exchange operating modes with the other device; wherein the relevant parameters of the one device include type of the device; and switching the operating mode by the one device to the target mode or exchanging the operating mode of the one device with that of the other device, if the determining result of the determining step is positive. According to the embodiments, power consumption may be distributed more reasonably and the power consumption of the initiator device may be reduced.
