Abstract
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention may comprise: a communication circuit for communicating with at least one network; and a processor configured to obtain a location estimation region of the electronic device on the basis of the at least one network, via the communication circuit, and to determine whether the electronic device has entered a region of interest, on the basis of a correlation between a probability distribution for the obtained location estimation region and a probability distribution for a preset region of interest, wherein various embodiments are possible.
Claims14
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication circuit configured to communicate with at least one network;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain a position estimation region of the electronic device based on a first network among the at least one network via the communication circuit;
- transform the obtained position estimation region into a probability distribution for the obtained position estimation region by normalizing the obtained position estimation region:
- transform a preset region of interest into a probability distribution for the preset region of interest by normalizing the preset region of interest;
- and
- determine whether the electronic device has entered the preset region of interest, based on a correlation between the probability distribution for the obtained position estimation region and the probability distribution for the preset region of interest.
A method for identifying entry of an electronic device to a region of interest, the method comprising:
- obtaining a position estimation region of the electronic device based on a first network among at least one network;
- transforming the obtained position estimation region into a probability distribution for the obtained position estimation region by normalizing the obtained position estimation region;
- transforming a region of interest into a probability distribution for the region of interest by normalizing the region of interest;
- obtaining a correlation between a the probability distribution for the obtained position estimation region and the probability distribution for the region of interest;
- and
- determining whether the electronic device has entered the region of interest based on the obtained correlation.
