Specifically, in the stage of network distribution, the wireless communication module may be connected to the distributed network devices in a wireless manner such as bluetooth, ZigBee, infrared, and the like, and then the distributed network devices may broadcast or multicast access information to the outside based on the wireless manner, so that the wireless communication module acquires the access information. In the distribution network stage, when the wireless communication module monitors the broadcast or multicast, the access information carried by the broadcast or multicast can be acquired, so that the wireless communication module can configure the network information according to the access information. In the later stage of the distribution network, the wireless communication module can adopt the configured network information to carry out network connection.
And step 102, controlling the wireless communication module to reduce the power consumption of the distribution network process so that the working current of the wireless communication module is smaller than the threshold current.
In the embodiment of the present application, the threshold current is preset, for example, the threshold current may be preset by a built-in program of the household appliance, or the threshold current may also be set by a user, which is not limited to this. It should be understood that the threshold current is a small current value.
In the embodiment of the application, when the wireless communication module executes the distribution network process, the wireless communication module can be controlled to reduce the power consumption of the distribution network process, so that the working current of the wireless communication module is smaller than the threshold current.

the control wireless communication module is adopted to execute the distribution network process; the wireless communication module is controlled to reduce the power consumption of the distribution network process, so that the working current of the wireless communication module is smaller than the threshold current, the technical problem that the power consumption of intelligent household appliances is large when the intelligent household appliances are subjected to network configuration in the prior art can be effectively solved, and the power consumption of the wireless communication module is reduced in the distribution network process.
As a possible implementation manner, when the wireless communication module executes the network distribution process, the network distribution process can be executed by controlling the wireless communication module to adopt a hotspot network distribution manner. The above process is described in detail with reference to example two.
Example two

In this application embodiment, the household electrical appliances can also include automatically controlled board, and wherein, automatically controlled board plays control and protect function to household electrical appliances as the central nervous system of whole household electrical appliances, for example, when household electrical appliances is frequency conversion air conditioner, automatically controlled board plays functions such as converter, thermostat, timer, protector.
In the embodiment of the application, a switching request of the hotspot mode can be triggered by a user, and the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched to the hotspot mode according to the switching request. For example, a user may trigger the switching request through a virtual key or a physical key on a remote controller or a home appliance device, and after the electronic control board receives the switching request, the switching request may be sent to the wireless communication module through the communication interface, and accordingly, the wireless communication module may switch the wireless communication module to the hotspot mode in response to the switching request after receiving the switching request. The communication interface between the electronic control board and the wireless communication module may be a serial port or other interfaces, which is not limited to this.
In the embodiment of the present application, step 201 is a stage of network to be provisioned.
In the embodiment of the application, after the wireless communication module is switched to the hotspot mode, the access device can access to the hotspot of the wireless communication module, after the access device is connected with the hotspot, the wireless communication module can communicate with the access device connected with the hotspot, and then the access device can transmit the access information to the wireless communication module based on the communication connection between the access device and the access device, and correspondingly, the wireless communication module can acquire the access information.
And step 203, configuring network information for the wireless communication module by using the access information.
In the embodiment of the application, after the wireless communication module receives the access information, the network information configuration can be performed by adopting the access information. Specifically, the wireless communication module may configure the network information according to the SSID and the password in the access information. After the wireless communication module performs network information configuration, the wireless communication module can be switched to an STA station mode.
In the embodiment of the present application, steps 202 to 203 are distribution network intermediate stages.
And step 204, controlling the wireless communication module to adopt the configured network information to perform network connection in the STA station mode.
In the embodiment of the application, after the wireless communication module is switched to the STA site mode, the configured network information can be used for network connection in the STA site mode.
In the embodiment of the present application, step 204 is a distribution network post-stage.
As a possible implementation manner, when the wireless communication module executes a to-be-configured network stage, a distribution network middle stage and a distribution network rear stage, the working current can be reduced by controlling the wireless communication module to reduce the crystal oscillator frequency, so that the power consumption of the wireless communication module is reduced.
Specifically, since the power consumption of the wireless communication module is positively correlated with the operation speed, and the operation speed is positively correlated with the crystal oscillation frequency of the operation clock, in the present application, the operation speed can be reduced by reducing the crystal oscillation frequency of the operation clock of the wireless communication module, thereby reducing the power consumption of the wireless communication module.
It should be noted that, in the distribution network middle stage, the power consumption of the wireless communication module is significantly higher than the power consumption in the other two stages, so that in the present application, the power consumption reduction range of the wireless communication module in the distribution network middle stage can be controlled to be larger than the power consumption reduction range of the to-be-distributed network stage and the distribution network later stage, so as to further reduce the power consumption of the wireless communication module.
As a possible implementation manner, in the distribution network stage, the external device of the wireless communication module may be turned off to reduce the power consumption of the wireless communication module; wherein, the external equipment of the wireless communication module includes: and the display unit is used for displaying the working mode of the wireless communication module.
The display unit may be a nixie tube, or others, which is not limited in this respect.
In the embodiment of the application, when the wireless communication module is in the stage of network to be configured, the switching request of the hotspot mode can be received, and the hotspot mode can be switched to according to the switching request. When the wireless communication module is switched to the hot spot mode, the display unit may be controlled to display a prompt message indicating that the wireless communication module is in the hot spot mode, for example, the prompt message may be an "AP" character, or the like, which is not limited thereto. Therefore, the wireless communication module can be conveniently checked by a user, and the user can more intuitively know the working mode of the wireless communication module.
When the wireless communication module detects the access device connected with the hotspot, the access information can be obtained from the access device, and the network information configuration is carried out on the wireless communication module by adopting the access information, at the moment, the wireless communication module is in the stage of distribution network, and the display unit can be closed, so that the power consumption of the wireless communication module is reduced.
When the wireless communication module is in the post-distribution-network stage, the wireless communication module is switched to the STA station mode, and at this time, the display unit may also be controlled to display the prompt information that the wireless communication module is in the STA station mode, for example, the prompt information may be "STA" characters, or others, which is not limited to this. Therefore, the wireless communication module can be conveniently checked by a user, and the user can more intuitively know the working mode of the wireless communication module.
Compared with the previous embodiment, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application at least has the following further technical effects or advantages:
on one hand, the external equipment of the wireless communication module is closed in the distribution network stage, so that the power consumption of the wireless communication module is reduced, and the power consumption of the wireless communication module in the distribution network process can be further reduced.
Generally, in the prior art, when all threads are in an idle state, the wireless communication module can reduce the operation speed to reduce the power consumption of the wireless communication module. In the application, after the wireless communication module is switched to the hotspot mode, no matter the thread is in an idle state or an occupied state, the wireless communication module keeps running at a low speed so as to reduce power consumption. Specifically, before step 201, the method for controlling a wireless communication module may further include: and controlling the wireless communication module to reduce the operation speed so as to reduce the power consumption.
In the embodiment of the application, after the wireless communication module is started, the wireless communication module can be initialized, and the wireless communication module is controlled to reduce the operation speed so as to reduce the power consumption.
As a possible implementation manner, since the crystal frequency of the operation clock is in positive correlation with the operation speed, in the present application, the operation speed can be reduced by lowering the crystal frequency of the operation clock of the wireless communication module. It should be noted that the running speed may also be affected by other factors, such as a task splitting manner, a thread number, and the like, for example, the higher the thread number is, the lower the running speed is, and therefore, in the present application, the operation speed may also be reduced by adjusting the task splitting manner and/or reducing the thread occupation.
Accordingly, in the process of performing steps 201 to 205, the wireless communication module may be controlled to maintain the reduced operation speed. Therefore, no matter the thread is in an idle state or an occupied state, the wireless communication module keeps running at a low speed so as to reduce the power consumption of the wireless communication module.
As a possible implementation manner, when the wireless communication module executes the network distribution process, the wireless communication module can be controlled to adopt a fast network distribution manner to execute the network distribution process. The above process is described in detail with reference to example three.
