Methods and devices for determining a geographic location of an electronic device are introduced. A range of radio frequencies at the electronic device~s location is scanned by a radio receiver (11). Characteristics (CH) of a geographically bound transmission system (3) within said scanned frequencies are identified by a control unit (21). A matching unit (5) matches these characteristics (CH) with stored characteristics (SCH) of geographically bound transmission systems of different geographical areas. The geographic location (LD) of said electronic device (1) is dependent on a result of said matching process.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs permettant de déterminer l'emplacement géographique d'un dispositif électronique. Une gamme de fréquences radio à l'emplacement du dispositif électronique est explorée par un récepteur radio (11). Les caractéristiques (CH) d'un système de transmission (3) lié géographiquement à l'intérieur desdites fréquences explorées, sont identifiées par une unité de commande (21). Une unité de concordance (5) fait correspondre ces caractéristiques (CH) avec celles stockées (SCH) de systèmes de transmission liés géographiquement de différentes zones géographiques. L'emplacement géographique (LD) dudit dispositif électronique (1) est fonction du résultat dudit processus de concordance.
