Wireless network positioning method and related device

The invention discloses a wireless network positioning method and a related device, relates to the technical field of positioning, and is used for solving the problem of high power consumption generated by starting a WiFi module for positioning by terminal equipment in the related technology. According to the method, whether the terminal device moves in a large range or not can be estimated, and the WiFi module is triggered to perform positioning when it is estimated that the terminal device moves in the large range. Furthermore, it is determined whether or not to estimate whether or not large-range movement is generated by querying a time interval, and the querying time interval is determined by the current actual situation of the terminal device, so that the operation of estimating whether or not large-range movement is generated is performed properly in time. Therefore, the starting of the WiFi module is carried out under reasonable requirements. The use efficiency of the WiFi positioning module of the ter
