FIELD: electronics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to determining the location of a device using a satellite positioning system. Claimed method of determining the location of the device comprises the steps of, where (a) the receiver of the satellite positioning system in the device is controlled, to assemble several sets of signals; and when the location of the device is to be determined, (b) processing a set of signals to determine whether the set will likely contain signals from satellites in the satellite positioning system; and (c) if in step (b) it is determined that the set of signals will likely contain signals from satellites in the satellite positioning system, processing a set of signals for calculating the location of the device; (d) if it determined in step (b), that the set of signals is not likely to contain signals from satellites in the satellite positioning system, repeating steps (b), (c) and (d) with another set of signals.
EFFECT: technical result is to improve the accuracy of position measurement with the maximum battery life.
