The invention discloses a method and device for computing the motion state through multiple wireless nodes. The method comprises the following steps that location information of the multiple wirelessnodes is received and pre-stored; one or more of the multiple wireless nodes are recognized; and the motion state is computed according to the location information and recognition results. According to the method and device, on the conditions of breaking away from a mobile phone and not communicating with a server, a sporter only needs to run by carrying a bracelet and can view current motion state information such as the location, the running distance and positioning of the sporter in real time through the bracelet, great convenience is brought to the sporter for performing motion, and the motion experience is improved; and by means of a bracelet route display function, key places are prompted on the bracelet route when the sporter passes the key places, and therefore the motion enjoymentis enriched.
