Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application provide a device location determining method, apparatus, and system, and relate to the field of terminal technologies. The solution is applied to a smart device having an antenna structure. A radio signal transmission distance of the antenna structure includes a first transmission distance and a second transmission distance, and the first transmission distance is less than the second transmission distance. The method includes: receiving information about a first electronic device from the first electronic device; determining, when determining to locate the first electronic device based on the information about the first electronic device, a first received strength parameter that is of the first electronic device and that is measured when the antenna structure works at the first transmission distance; determining, when the first received strength parameter indicates that the first electronic device is located within the first transmission distance, a second received strength parameter that is of the first electronic device and that is measured when the antenna structure works at the second transmission distance; and determining location information of the first electronic device based on the first received strength parameter and the second received strength parameter.
