The positioning function on a mobile phone led a husband to suspect his wife was cheating on him with his best friend.
The 28-year-old husband from Chongqing, surnamed Yu, 28, married his wife, surnamed Luo, in 2014.
He allegedly found out that Luo had a close relationship with his best friend.
Yu said that his wife told him last month that she was going to dinner with some of her classmates from a degree course she was taking. But he claims that her mobile phone positioning function revealed that she was actually in his best friend's home.
John Edwards, the UK trade commissioner for China, praised Chongqing over its rise as a burgeoning center in intelligent manufacturing.
