A method for protecting intelligent terminal location information, wherein the method comprises: responding to a location query request from an application, APP, and acquiring current location coordinates of an intelligent terminal, wherein the APP is installed in an operating system running on the intelligent terminal; acquiring a privacy sensitivity level of an area in which the current location coordinates are located, wherein the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located corresponds to a difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP, and a higher privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located indicates a higher difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP; acquiring a location trust level of the APP, wherein the location trust level of the APP corresponds to the difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP, and a higher location trust level of the APP indicates a lower difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP; and determining, according to the location trust level of the APP and the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located, a response manner for the location query request from the APP; characterized in that the determining, according to the location trust level of the APP and the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located, a response manner for the location query request from the APP comprises: calculating, according to a formula s = (1 - T) ∗ L, a comprehensive sensitivity value s of the current location coordinates of the intelligent terminal that are requested by the APP, wherein ∗ indicates multiplication, T indicates the location trust level of the APP, and L indicates the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located; and T and L are real numbers in [0,1]; and comparing the comprehensive sensitivity value s of the current location coordinates with a preset threshold M; and if s < M, returning the real current location coordinates; if s >= M, imposing a limitation on the response manner for the location query request from the APP. responding to a location query request from an application, APP, and acquiring current location coordinates of an intelligent terminal, wherein the APP is installed in an operating system running on the intelligent terminal; acquiring a privacy sensitivity level of an area in which the current location coordinates are located, wherein the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located corresponds to a difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP, and a higher privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located indicates a higher difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP; acquiring a location trust level of the APP, wherein the location trust level of the APP corresponds to the difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP, and a higher location trust level of the APP indicates a lower difficulty level of obtaining the current location coordinates by the APP; and determining, according to the location trust level of the APP and the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located, a response manner for the location query request from the APP; characterized in that the determining, according to the location trust level of the APP and the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located, a response manner for the location query request from the APP comprises: calculating, according to a formula s = (1 - T) ∗ L, a comprehensive sensitivity value s of the current location coordinates of the intelligent terminal that are requested by the APP, wherein ∗ indicates multiplication, T indicates the location trust level of the APP, and L indicates the privacy sensitivity level of the area in which the current location coordinates are located; and T and L are real numbers in [0,1]; and comparing the comprehensive sensitivity value s of the current location coordinates with a preset threshold M; and if s < M, returning the real current location coordinates; if s >= M, imposing a limitation on the response manner for the location query request from the APP.
