Abstract

A position estimation apparatus estimates the position of a radio communication device that outputs a signal, where the apparatus includes a distance estimating section, a first position estimating section, a second position estimating section, and a final position estimating section, where the distance estimating section estimates actual distances between wireless access points receiving the signal and the radio communication device as estimated distances based on the reception strength of the signal, where the first position estimating section estimates the position of the radio communication device, where the second position estimating section estimates a circle centered at one of the wireless access points with the maximum reception strength, and where the position estimated by the final position estimating section is estimated as the position of the radio communication device.
