Electronic device for detecting location, and method therefor

An electronic device, comprising:

• a sensor module configured to sense sensing data;
• a wireless communication module configured to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal;
• a memory configured to store a virtual marker platform;
• and
• a processor operatively connected with the sensor module and the memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to perform a plurality of operations, the plurality of operations comprising:
• estimating a moving direction of the electronic device;
• performing first alignment of aligning a direction of a coordinate axis of measurement data, obtained to determine whether the electronic device enters a first region where a virtual marker is registered, with respect to the moving direction;
• performing second alignment of aligning the direction of the coordinate axis of the measurement data in a direction of a coordinate axis of the electronic device when generating a registered virtual marker;
• and
• determining entry of the electronic device into a specific region based on the registered virtual marker.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, where execution of the plurality of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform a plurality of operations comprising:

• estimating a moving direction of an electronic device;
• aligning a coordinate axis of measurement data, obtained to determine whether the electronic device enters a first region where a virtual marker is registered, in the moving direction;
• aligning a direction of the coordinate axis of the measurement data in a direction of a coordinate axis of the electronic device when generating a registered virtual marker, and
• determining entry of the electronic device into a specific region based on the registered virtual marker.
