    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing method and apparatus. The invention provides an electronic device including: a communication module; a first location calculating module; a second location calculating module; and a first processor electrically connected to at least one of the first location calculating module and/or the second location calculating module. The first processor may be configured to: identify property information of at least one application that is driven by the first processor and requests location information; determine a location accuracy level on the basis of the identified property information of the at least one application; and select one of the first location calculating module and/or the second location calculating module in order to calculate the location of the electronic device by using a signal obtained through the communication module, according to the determined location accuracy level.

    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a magnetic sensor, a memory configured to store a first geo-magnetic map and a second geo-magnetic map. The first geo-magnetic map may include geo-magnetic data for each of a plurality of positions at a first altitude in an area and the second geo-magnetic map may include geo-magnetic data for each of a plurality of positions at a second altitude in the area. The electronic device may further include a processor configured to identify an altitude of the electronic device, select one of the first geo-magnetic map and the second geo-magnetic map corresponding to the altitude of the electronic device, compare the selected geo-magnetic map with geo-magnetic data sensed by the magnetic sensor, and provide a position of the electronic device using a result of the comparison.
