Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device including a first circuit for measuring positions using a first positioning method; a second circuit for measuring positions using a second positioning method; a memory for storing information on a service zone; and a processor is configured to identify a first position using the first circuit; determine whether the first position is included in the service zone; identify a second position using the second circuit when the first position is included in the service zone; and determine the second position to be a position of the electronic device.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a first circuit for measuring positions using a first positioning method;
- a second circuit for measuring positions using a second positioning method;
- a memory for storing information on a service zone in which indoor positioning service information is provided;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a first position using the first circuit;
- determine whether the first position is within the service zone based on the stored information on the service zone;
- identify a second position using the second circuit when the first position is within the service zone;
- and
- determine the second position to be a position of the electronic device.
A positioning method of an electronic device, comprising:
- identifying a first position of the electronic device using a first positioning method;
- determining whether the first position is within a service zone in which indoor positioning service information is provided, based on prestored information on the service zone;
- identifying a second position of the electronic device using a second positioning method when the first position is within the service zone;
- and
- determining the second position to be a position of the electronic device.
A storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute at least one operation comprising:
- identifying a first position of an electronic device using a first positioning method;
- determining whether the first position is within a service zone in which indoor positioning service information is provided, based on prestored information on the service zone;
- identifying a second position of the electronic device using a second positioning method when the first position is within the service zone;
- and
- determining the second position to be a position of the electronic device.
