  • Patent number: 10321428
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a mobile terminal positioning method, apparatus, device, and server. When being applicable to a mobile terminal, the method includes: obtaining auxiliary positioning information, where the auxiliary positioning information includes network identifiers of different wireless networks found by the mobile terminal; reporting the auxiliary positioning information to a server, so that the server obtains current location information of the mobile terminal according to the auxiliary positioning information; and receiving the current location information delivered by the server. Therefore, the server may obtain more available information from the mobile terminal, and a coverage area relationship between multiple wireless networks in a same area may be used to narrow a positioning range, so as to obtain a more accurate location of the mobile terminal.
