Abstract
A wireless tag communication device includes a communication device, a position detection sensor, a memory, and a processor. The communication device communicates with a wireless tag. The sensor detects information indicating a self position of the wireless tag communication device. The memory stores the self position, based on the information detected by the position detection sensor, in association with a reading result obtained by reading a wireless tag by the communication device. The processor estimates, using a processing method selected according to a distance between the self position, which is specified based on the information detected by the position detection sensor, and an estimated position of the wireless tag, a position of the wireless tag based on reading results obtained by reading the wireless tag at three different self positions each including the self position serving as an endpoint of the distance, the reading results being stored.
