Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for measuring a position of a mobile terminal. A first position is calculated by using a GPS signal. A visible light communication mode of the mobile terminal is activated, when the first position exceeds a predetermined error range. Visible light communication device position information is received. A third position is calculated by using a second position, which corresponds to a position prior to the first position, and the visible light communication device position information.
