Abstract

The invention provides a fingerprint matching-based wireless positioning method and a device. Through signal strength values of any two wireless access devices indicated by fingerprint features included in a positioning request message, screening is carried out in a fingerprint database to acquire first candidate fingerprint data, and thus according to the fingerprint features, matching is carried out in the first candidate fingerprint data to acquire the positioning result of the terminal. As matching is carried out in the first candidate fingerprint data after screening according to the fingerprint features rather than directly in all fingerprint data stored by the fingerprint database according to the fingerprint features, the accuracy rate of the positioning result in the matching mode is high, and reliability of positioning is improved.
