A method of controlling an automatic pool cleaning device, comprising:

controlling the automatic pool cleaning device to move from a first position on a bottom surface of a pool to a second position on the bottom surface and doing positioning at the second position to obtain first positioning information, wherein at least a first part of movement path from the first position to the second position is a path on which the automatic pool cleaning device moves along an edge of the pool;
controlling the automatic pool cleaning device to move from the second position to a third position on the bottom surface and performing a cleaning operation on the bottom surface;
controlling the automatic pool cleaning device to move from the third position to a fourth position on the bottom surface and doing positioning at the fourth position to obtain second positioning information, wherein at least a second part of movement path from the third position to the fourth position is a path on which the automatic pool cleaning device moves along the edge of the pool;
and
controlling the automatic pool cleaning device to move from the fourth position to the first position based on the first positioning information and the second positioning information.
