1. A terminal, the terminal comprising a processor, wherein said processor configured to:

  • when a position measurement is required by a subject of a service, determine a positioning area of the terminal among a plurality of positioning areas, wherein each of the plurality of positioning areas is assigned to a corresponding positioning method among a plurality of different positioning methods; and

    perform the position measurement of the terminal using the positioning method assigned to the determined positioning area of the terminal,wherein the position measurement is periodically required and the performed position measurement of the terminal is reported to the subject of the service,wherein the plurality of different positioning methods is assigned to the plurality of positioning areas based on at least one of a power consumption amount of the terminal required for the position measurement and an accuracy required for the position measurement,wherein the processor is configured to perform the position measurement of the terminal based on a battery remaining amount of the terminal, andwherein when the battery remaining amount is smaller than a threshold value, the processor is configured to perform the position measurement of the terminal according to a specific positioning method, which consumes a smallest power consumption amount, among the plurality of different positioning methods.
