Positioning method, positioning apparatus, server, and computer-readable storage medium

A positioning apparatus, comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• receive a positioning request transmitted by a terminal, the positioning request including target access point information obtained by the terminal;
• determine, according to the target access point information, a plurality of first geographic grids related to a location of the terminal;
• determine a plurality of positioning samples according to access point information corresponding to the plurality of first geographic grids and the target access point information, each of the plurality of positioning samples corresponding to two of the plurality of first geographic grids;
• determine a positioning sequence of the plurality of first geographic grids according to the plurality of positioning samples, the positioning sequence being ordered according to distances between the plurality of first geographic grids and the terminal;
• and
• determine the location of the terminal according to the positioning sequence of the plurality of first geographic grids and location information of the plurality of first geographic grids.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a positioning request transmitted by a terminal, the positioning request including target access point information obtained by the terminal;
• determining, according to the target access point information, a plurality of first geographic grids related to a location of the terminal;
• determining a plurality of positioning samples according to access point information corresponding to the plurality of first geographic grids and the target access point information, each of the plurality of positioning samples corresponding to two of the plurality of first geographic grids;
• determining a positioning sequence of the plurality of first geographic grids according to the plurality of positioning samples, the positioning sequence being ordered according to distances between the plurality of first geographic grids and the terminal;
• and
• determining the location of the terminal according to the positioning sequence of the plurality of first geographic grids and location information of the plurality of first geographic grids.
