Abstract
To obtain a method of positioning a wireless terminal capable of obtaining the position of each communication terminal by measuring distances with installed communication terminals each other without fixedly installing a base station. A positioning management terminalincludes a positioning object decision sectionthat selects a terminal to be positioned, which is a positioning object, and a positioning standard terminal, whose position is known, among the wireless terminals; a positioning management sectionthat requires distance information between the terminal to be positioned and the positioning standard terminal; and a position calculation sectionthat calculates the position of the terminal to be positioned. The positioning management sectionrequires distance information from the positioning standard terminal selected by the positioning object decision sectionto the terminal to be positioned selected by the positioning object decision section. The position calculation sectioncalculates the position of the terminal to be positioned using the distance information and position information of the positioning standard terminal.
