Abstract

A positioning method and a mobile device, where the method is applied to the mobile device and includes periodically detecting a status of the mobile device, where the status of the mobile device includes a driving state and a walking state, positioning the mobile device using a first positioning algorithm when detecting that a quantity of times that the driving state consecutively occurs reaches M, where the M is an integer greater than one, and positioning the mobile device using a second positioning algorithm when detecting that a quantity of times that the walking state consecutively occurs reaches N, where the N is an integer greater than one. Hence, the status of the mobile device can be more accurately determined by implementing this technical solution to position the mobile device using a positioning algorithm matching an actual status of the mobile device, thereby improving accuracy of a positioning result.
