POSITIONING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A positioning system includes a positioning module, an application program, a control program, a first transmission interface, a second transmission interface and a switch module. The positioning module is for providing positioning information. The application program is for controlling the positioning module to receive the positioning information from the positioning module. The control program is for controlling the positioning module to receive the positioning information from the positioning module when the application program is shutdown. The application program receives the positioning information through the first transmission interface. The control program receives the positioning information through the second transmission interface. The switch module can be selectively switched to decide whether the positioning module is controlled by the application program or the control program to receive the positioning information.
