Positioning method and positioning terminal

The invention provides a positioning method and a positioning terminal. The positioning method comprises the following steps of preferentially performing positioning on the basis of a WiFi positioningtechnology during the positioning; if the positioning on the basis of the WiFi positioning technology is successful, outputting positioning information obtained in the current positioning; if the positioning on the basis of the WiFi positioning technology fails, performing positioning on the basis of a GPS positioning technology; and if the positioning on the basis of the GPS positioning technology is successful, outputting positioning information obtained in the current positioning. By using the scheme provided by the invention, power consumption required by positioning can be reduced in most scenes. 本申请提供种定位方法和定位终端，该定位方法包括：在定位时优先基于WiFi定位技术进行定位；若基于所述WiFi定位技术定位成功，则输出本次定位获得的定位信息；若基于所述WiFi定位技术定位失败，则基于GPS定位技术进行定位；若基于所述GPS定位技术定位成功，则输出本次定位获得的定位信息。本申请提供的方案可在大部分场景下节省定位所需的功耗。
