RESIDUAL ACCESS POINT INFORMATION RECOGNITION METHOD AND RECOGNITION APPARATUS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a residual access point information recognition method and a server, where the method includes: obtaining first movement information of a to-be-located device, where the first movement information is a movement status or a movement speed of the to-be-located device; obtaining a target time threshold based on the first movement information; obtaining a first scan timestamp corresponding to a target time and a first media access control MAC address, where the target time is a fingerprint collection time of a first fingerprint or a maximum value of a scan timestamp corresponding to at least one MAC address included in the first fingerprint, the first MAC address is a MAC address in the first fingerprint; and if a difference between the target time and the first scan timestamp is greater than the target time threshold, determining that access point information corresponding to the first MAC address is residual access point information. According to the embodiments of the present invention, residual access point information included in a fingerprint can be accurately recognized.
