Electronic device, positioning method, and computer program product

A positioning method applied to an electronic device comprising a display module, an operation module configured to obtain operation information from a display screen of the display module, a communication module configured to communicate with a second electronic device, an obtaining module, and a calculator, the positioning method comprising:

• obtaining, by the obtaining module, trace information indicating a trace of an operation performed in a direction from the electronic device toward the second electronic device or a trace of an operation performed in a direction from the second electronic device toward the electronic device based on the operation on the display screen of the electronic device and the operation on a display screen of the second electronic device;
• and
• calculating, by the calculator, a positional relationship between the electronic device and the second electronic device based on the trace information.

A computer program product applied to an electronic device comprising a display module, an operation module configured to obtain operation information from a display screen of the display module, a communication module configured to communicate with a second electronic device, an obtaining module, and a calculator, the computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and comprising code that, when executed, causes a computer to perform:

• obtaining, by the obtaining module, trace information indicating a trace of an operation performed in a direction from the electronic device toward the second electronic device or a trace of an operation performed in a direction from the second electronic device toward the electronic device based on the operation on the display screen of the electronic device and the operation on a display screen of the second electronic device;
• and
• calculating, by the calculator, a positional relationship between the electronic device and the second electronic device based on the trace information.
