The devices can be networked with the first type of router, the functional module and the server in a wireless communication mode or a wired communication mode such as WIFI, Bluetooth and infrared rays.

Specifically, the first type of router is a device for connecting the functional module and connecting the internet and the local area network; each router of the first type has a unique identity and the router of the first type may register its own router identity with the server. By registering the router identification with the server, the server can know the use condition of each router, and identify each router according to the router identification, so as to communicate with each router.

Specifically, the router identifier may be a device identifier or a predetermined encrypted digital code.

Specifically, the terminal device may be equipped with a client portion of the present invention, and the client may establish communication with the server. The client can help the terminal device establish connection and communication with the first type router and the server in the internet. In addition, the client can also establish communication directly with the first type of router.

S200, after receiving a response returned by the first type of router according to the router searching request, the terminal equipment sends user account information input by a user to a server in the Internet;

specifically, the account information of the user may be a user name and a password. The user account information may be set by the user, may be mobile device identification information, or may be specified by the server. The user can register the user account in the server, and the router identifier is registered in the server, so that the server can bind the user account and the router identifier used by the user, and the user and the router can be identified. For example: after the router of the user is connected with the server, the server can know which router of the user is connected with the server according to the binding relationship between the router identification and the user account information. Similarly, after a user logs in to the server by using an account, the server can also know which router the user wants to use to connect with the server.

S300, after receiving a message which is returned by the server and confirms that the user account information is bound with the router identification of the first type of router, the terminal equipment establishes connection with the first type of router; the router identification of the first type router is sent to the server by the first type router in advance and is stored in the server;

For example: and outputting the address corresponding to the name of the functional module and the functional information in a display mode, wherein the functional information of the functional module is embodied by the control item of the functional module. In this way, after the user clicks a certain control item for a certain functional module in the functional module list, the name and address of the functional module corresponding to the instruction can be determined, and thus the click instruction is the first enabling control request.

Referring to fig. 2, a function module list displayed in a mobile phone screen includes two function modules, namely, a function module 1 and a function module 2, an address of the function module 1 is an address 1, an address of the function module 2 is an address 2, a control item of the function module 1 includes control items 1 to 4, and a control item of the function module 2 includes control items 5 to 8. The user may click on a control item of the function module 1 or the function module 2 to control the function module 1 or the function module 2.

Of course, since the user does not need to know the address of the function module, the address of the function module may not be displayed in other embodiments of the present invention.

S600, sending a first working instruction to the function module to which the first start control request is directed, controlling the function module to which the first start control request is directed to work, and receiving data returned by the function module to which the first start control request is directed.

Because the terminal device obtains the address of the function module, and the terminal device, the first type router and each function module are all in the same local area network, the terminal device can directly send the first starting control request to the function module through the local area network, and can also directly receive the data returned by the function module through the local area network.

Specifically, the first start control request may be: and the user inputs a request for controlling the function module to work to the terminal equipment. The user can send a first starting control request to the terminal equipment through a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen and the like.

Specifically, the first work instruction may be: the terminal device sends a request for controlling the functional module to the functional module, and the first work instruction includes an address of the functional module which needs to work according to the request and work information which needs to be executed by the functional module.

after the terminal equipment outputs a function module list to a user in a display and/or loudspeaking mode, the terminal equipment sends a first starting control request according to the received first starting control request sent by the user, wherein the first starting control request comprises a function module which is selected by the user and needs to be controlled to work, and the terminal equipment sends a first working instruction to a temperature detection module aiming at the first starting control request; the first work order comprises the name and address of the temperature detection module and information enabling the temperature detection module to execute operation.

Therefore, the terminal equipment can acquire the function module list from the first type router after being connected with the first type router, so as to acquire and select the available function modules; the terminal equipment is directly connected with the functional module to be used, so that the terminal equipment can directly control the work of the functional module and directly obtain the data returned by the functional module, and the dependence of the terminal module on the first type of router when the functional module is controlled to work is reduced.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the first work instruction sent in S600 may be sent to the function module by the terminal device after the terminal device receives the first enabling control request and determines that the terminal device and the function module to which the first enabling control request is directed are in the same local area network.

Namely: in other embodiments of the present invention, S600 may include:

Therefore, the first working instruction can be sent out after the terminal equipment and the function module are confirmed to be in the same local area network again, the situation that the terminal equipment sends the first working instruction to the function module in the local area network if the terminal equipment and the function module cannot be connected in the same local area network is avoided, the time consumed by repeatedly searching the first type of router or the function module due to the fact that the terminal equipment cannot send the first working instruction is saved, and effective transmission of the first working instruction is facilitated.

The user can select the powered-on functional module in advance according to the own requirement, when a certain function needs to be realized, the device list of the registered online functional module is obtained from the first-class router in the local area network, the functional module needing to be controlled can be selected, the work of the functional module is directly controlled, the data returned by the functional module is directly obtained, and the dependence on the first-class router when the terminal module controls the working of the functional module is reduced.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 3, another method for controlling the operation of a functional module according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include, after S100:

s200', if the response of the first type of router cannot be received is judged, the terminal equipment sends a function module searching request for searching the function module in the local area network;

specifically, the terminal device may send the function module search request through a second type of router in the local area network.
