Abstract
A positioning method in a positioning device that calculates a location of the positioning device by executing Kalman filtering includes, acquiring a satellite signal from a positioning satellite; predicting a state vector including a velocity component of the positioning device, and error covariance of the state vector; correcting the velocity component using a difference between a measured value and a predicted value of the reception signal frequency from the positioning satellite; determining accuracy of the corrected velocity component based on the error covariance; setting a velocity condition based on the determined accuracy; judging a moving state of the positioning device by comparing the corrected velocity component and the velocity condition; and calculating the location by executing the Kalman filtering with a filter characteristic changed according to the judged moving state.
