An intelligent terminal power-saving management method and apparatus, wherein the method includes acquiring, by a second intelligent terminal, a power-saving control policy, where the power-saving control policy includes an interval for enabling a communications module, the interval for enabling the communications module is greater than a power-saving period of the communications module, and the power-saving period is a built-in power-saving control policy of the communications module, counting, by the second intelligent terminal, duration when the interval for enabling the communications module is acquired, enabling, by the second terminal, the communications module to perform communication when the duration is greater than or equal to the interval for enabling the communications module, and disabling, by the second intelligent terminal, the communications module when the communication ends. Using the apparatus can reduce power consumption and extend usage time of an intelligent terminal.
