The foregoing mainly describes the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention from a perspective of a working process of the mobile device. The mobile device may be a positioning cycle adjustment apparatus or the mobile device includes the positioning cycle adjustment apparatus. It may be understood that to implement the foregoing functions, the positioning cycle adjustment apparatus includes corresponding hardware structures and/or software modules for performing various functions. A person skilled in the art should be easily aware that, with reference to units and algorithm steps in the examples described in the embodiments disclosed in this specification, the present invention can be implemented in a form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is performed by hardware or hardware driven by computer software depends on particular applications and design constraints of the technical solutions. A person skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each particular application, but it should not be considered that the implementation goes beyond the scope of the present invention.

The positioning cycle adjustment apparatus may be divided into function modules based on the method examples in the embodiments of the present invention. For example, function modules corresponding to various functions may be obtained through division, or two or more functions may be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module may be implemented in a form of hardware, or may be implemented in a form of a software function module. It should be noted that, the module division in the embodiments of the present invention is an example, and is merely logical function division. There may be another division manner in actual implementation.
