Disclosed are a device for recommending locations in a building using fingerprints of access points and a method using the device. The locations of access points are detected by collecting fingerprints for the access points from terminals of multiple users, the locations of stores in the building are detected by using the fingerprints and payment histories of the multiple users, and locations may be recommended to a recommendation target user based on a meta-path, using a metamap generated by integrating the locations of the access points and stores with the indoor plan of the building. Indoor positioning is enabled by detecting the locations of access points using the information obtained from the terminals of multiple users, whereby constructing infrastructure information for the access points in the building in advance may not be required. Also, because information about changes to the locations of the access points, caused by the replacement and failure thereof, as well as information about newly opened stores, may be easily updated, a location based on the latest information may be recommended. |
