Method and apparatus for measuring a location of a terminal using magnetic field

摘要

Provided are a method and apparatus for measuring a location of a terminal using a magnetic field. For example, the apparatus may measure a location of a terminal using a magnetic field obtained by a magnetic field sensor and one or more sensor values obtained by a plurality of other sensors.

1. A method of measuring a location of a terminal using a magnetic field, the method comprising:
receiving a magnetic field map of an area at which the terminal is located, wherein the magnetic field map includes a size of a magnetic field and a magnetic north direction; receiving values sensed by a first sensor and a second sensor which are included in the terminal and which sense a first information and a second information, respectively; and measuring a location of the terminal based on the magnetic field map, the first information sensed by the first sensor, and the second information sensed by the second sensor.
