Abstract

The present application provides a device delay calibration method, a terminal device and a storage medium. The terminal device communicates with a device group, and the method includes: sending a preset instruction to at least one device in the device group, and receiving a feedback signal corresponding to the preset instruction from the at least one device; calculating a round-trip delay of a signal transmission between the terminal device and the at least one device according to the preset instructions and the feedback signal; based on the round-trip delay, calculating a delay determination base corresponding to the at least one device; performing a delay calibration on the at least one device according to the delay determination base. The above method is used to enable the device group to perform a network synchronization when the device group does not have a timer or the timer is inaccurate.
