A method for estimating location of an electronic device is provided. The method includes collecting from a transmitter, transmitter information including time information that is proportional to distance between the electronic device and the transmitter; obtaining location information of the electronic device at a point where the transmitter information is collected; and transmitting the transmitter information and the location information to a server to be used to estimate the location of the transmitter.

Method for estimating location, and electronic device and server thereof

A device and a method for providing a wireless LAN service in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a communication interface that transmits and receives a signal for a wireless LAN service; and a processor that selects a plurality of channels using the communication interface and based on channel scan information, accesses at least one Access Point (AP) corresponding to at least one channel among the plurality of channels, and monitors the plurality of channels in a state in which the access to at least one AP is maintained.

Method for providing wireless LAN service and electronic device therefor

A method for searching for an access point in a local area network at an electronic device, in accordance with various embodiments, comprises: an operation for determining the moving level of the electronic device; and an operation for deciding, in accordance with the determination result of the moving level of the electronic device, whether or not an access point in the local area network is searched for. Other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and method for searching for access point in local area network at electronic device

An electronic device is provided, and includes a communication interface and a first processor and a second processor. The first processor may be configured to receive first base station information from base station, search a first memory for first wireless information corresponding to the received first base station information, and when the first wireless information is not searched in the first memory, send a request for second wireless information corresponding to the first base station information to the second processor, and the second processor may be configured to search a second memory for the second wireless information based on the request for the second wireless information. Other various embodiments are also available.

Electronic device and method for managing information of electronic device

An electronic device apparatus and method are disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a processor. The processor may execute the method, which includes detecting a first location and a movement velocity of the electronic device, estimating a second location of the electronic device based on the detected movement velocity of the electronic device, comparing the first location of the electronic device and the estimated second location of the electronic device to determine a location measurement error, and correcting the detected first location of the electronic device based on the determined location measurement error.
