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: A method and apparatus for batch-processing multiple data in an electronic device are provided. A method for batch-processing multiple data in a first processor includes transmitting batching data configuration information to a second processor of the electronic device according to batching option information of at least one application; receiving, from the second processor, batching data including at least one data acquired via at least one sensor of the electronic device based on the batching data configuration information; and batch-processing the received batching data according to the batching option information, for the at least one application.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for location estimation in a portable terminal are provided. An operation of the portable terminal includes, if a location estimation function is activated, determining whether a reference location corresponding to a cell IDentifier (ID) of a currently connected cell is prestored, determining a search frequency range of a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal using the stored reference location, and estimating a location of the portable terminal using the GPS signal detected in the search frequency range.
