Abstract
A method for operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes determining, by the electronic device, a position estimation point according to state information of the electronic device. Further, the method includes transmitting a position estimation request message to an Access Point (AP) at the determined position estimation point with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection not being performed, and receiving position information of the electronic device from the AP.
Claims27
A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining, by the electronic device, a position estimation point according to state information of the electronic device;
- transmitting a position estimation request message to an Access Point (AP) at the determined position estimation point with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection not being performed;
- and
- receiving position information of the electronic device from the AP.
A method for operating an Access Point (AP), the method comprising:
- receiving, by the AP, a position estimation request message from an electronic device on which a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection has not been performed;
- transmitting path loss information measured via the received position estimation request message to an AP controller;
- receiving position information of the electronic device from the AP controller;
- and
- transmitting the received position information to the electronic device.
An electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a communication module;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors,
- wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine a position estimation point according to state information of the electronic device;
- transmit a position estimation request message to an Access Point (AP) at the determined position estimation point with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection not being performed;
- and
- receive position information of the electronic device from the AP.
An Access Point (AP) device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a communication module;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors,
- wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a position estimation request message from an electronic device on which a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection has not been performed;
- transmit path loss information measured via the received position estimation request message to an AP controller;
- receive position information of the electronic device from the AP controller;
- and
- transmit the received position information to the electronic device.
