Abstract
According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include: a cellular communication module; a Wi-Fi communication module; a sensor module; a first processor; a second processor; and a memory. The memory may store first instructions that, when executed, cause the first processor to recognize a change in a user state to a measurement state to perform positioning, based on data received from the sensor module or the cellular communication module, determine a time at which the positioning is to be performed, based on the change, and transmit a timing notification to the second processor corresponding to the time at which the positioning is performed. The memory may store second instructions that, when executed, cause the second processor to measure a first position of the electronic device using the Wi-Fi communication module, in response to the timing notification. In addition, various other embodiments may be provided.
