Disclosed is a geofencing server including a memory configured to store a database including wireless fingerprint information for a point-of-interest (PoI), a communication module configured to perform communication with an electronic device, and a processor connected to the memory and the communication circuit, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain wireless network information collected at a plurality of points through the communication circuit, determine a serviceable radius based on the wireless fingerprint information and the wireless network information, and transmit a threshold value determined based on the serviceable radius to the electronic device through the communication circuit.

Method for variable geofencing and electronic device thereof

In various embodiments, an electronic device may include a wireless communication module performing WLAN communication, a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication module, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The processor may receive geofence-related information from a server in response to execution of an application associated with a geofencing service, identify status information of the electronic device, determine at least one channel based on the received geofence-related information and/or the identified status information of the electronic device, and perform a scan function based on the determined at least one channel. Other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and method for scanning channel to perform location based service

Disclosed is an electronic device comprising at least one communication circuit, a display and a processor. The processor of the electronic device may be configured so as to: receive information associated with a payment from a first external electronic device; generate, from the information associated with a payment, payment information including at least the name of a store associated with the payment; acquire at least one wireless network information; and transmit the at least one wireless network information and the payment information to a second external electronic device. In addition, various embodiments are possible as identified in the specification.

Payment information-based geofencing method and device therefor

According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include: a cellular communication module; a Wi-Fi communication module; a sensor module; a first processor; a second processor; and a memory. The memory may store first instructions that, when executed, cause the first processor to recognize a change in a user state to a measurement state to perform positioning, based on data received from the sensor module or the cellular communication module, determine a time at which the positioning is to be performed, based on the change, and transmit a timing notification to the second processor corresponding to the time at which the positioning is performed. The memory may store second instructions that, when executed, cause the second processor to measure a first position of the electronic device using the Wi-Fi communication module, in response to the timing notification. In addition, various other embodiments may be provided.
