A method for searching the location of multi-SIM mobile terminal and an apparatus thereof

摘要

A method, apparatus and system for determining a location of a multi-Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) mobile terminal having at least first and second SIMs mounted therein are provided. The first and second SIMs are associated with respective first and second mobile networks using different base stations. A first location is determined based on a location of at least one first base station in the first network and receive signal strength at the mobile terminal of a signal transmitted by the at least one first base station. A second location is determined based on a location of at least one second base station in the second network associated with the second SIM and receive signal strength at the mobile terminal of a signal transmitted by the at least one second base station. The location of the mobile terminal is then estimated from the first and second locations.
