Location measuring method and apparatus using access point for wireless local area network service

摘要

A method and apparatus for measuring a location of a communication terminal using an access point for a wireless local area network service is provided. The method includes storing access point information collected at each location, extracting information of nearby access points collected together at a location, where information of a reference access point is collected, from the access point information, calculating a barycentric coordinate using location coordinates of the extracted nearby access points, and determining the calculated barycentric coordinate as a final location of the communication terminal.

1. A method for measuring a location of a communication terminal using a plurality of access points, the method comprising:
storing access point information collected at a plurality of locations by a collecting terminal; extracting information of access points collected together at a location of the plurality of locations, where information of a reference access point transmitted by the communication terminal is collected, from the access point information; calculating a barycentric coordinate using location coordinates of the access points extracted from the information of the access points; and determining the calculated barycentric coordinate as a final location of the communication terminal, wherein the access points comprise at least one wireless local area network device.
