The invention discloses a state switching method based on electronic equipment interlinking and electronic equipment, and relates to the field of communication. The method can simplify operation of a user in the state switching process of interlinked equipment and can improve the user experience. The specific scheme of the method comprises steps as follows: first electronic equipment acquires a first starting-up instruction and is switched into a starting-up state according to the first starting-up instruction; the first electronic equipment judges whether the first electronic equipment is connected with second electronic equipment according to a data communication interface channel between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment; and if the first electronic equipment is connected with the second electronic equipment, the first electronic equipment generates a second starting-up instruction and sends the second starting-up instruction to the second electronic equipment, so that a standby state of the second electronic equipment is switched into a starting-up state according to the second starting-up instruction.
