[0011] 2) The existing location process cannot prevent business websites or SPs from obtaining user location privacy records, resulting in leakage of user location privacy;

[0012] 3) The process of using the positioning service for existing users relies heavily on the service server, and the user needs to initiate a positioning request to the mobile positioning gateway through the service server of the service provider (SP or service website), so that the service provider can fake self-positioning through this link Request, initiate illegal positioning of its users, resulting in leakage of user location privacy
