Electronic device and method for identifying location by electronic device

A method for identifying a location by an electronic device, the method comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of locations in a space;
• detecting a wireless signal from at least one external electronic device located in the space;
• obtaining detection count data according to a number of detections of the wireless signal;
• identifying at least one candidate location among the plurality of locations based on at least part of the detection count data;
• and
• identifying a current location of the electronic device based on the at least one candidate location,
• wherein the at least one candidate location is at least one location corresponding to reference data of a ratio same as or similar to a ratio of the detection count data from a database stored in a memory.

A computer readable recording medium recording a program running on a computer of an electronic device, the program comprising executable instructions executed by a processor to enable the processor to:

• obtain a plurality of locations in a space;
• detect a wireless signal from at least one external electronic device located in the space;
• obtain detection count data according to a number of detections of the wireless signal;
• identify at least one candidate location among the plurality of locations based on at least part of the detection count data;
• and
• identify a current location of the electronic device based on the at least one candidate location,
• wherein the at least one candidate location is at least one location corresponding to reference data of a ratio same as or similar to a ratio of the detection count data from a database stored in a memory.
