First Claim
1. A wireless terminal positioning system including one or a plurality of wireless terminals and a positioning management terminal that manages positioning of said wireless terminal, whereinsaid positioning management terminal includes:
- a positioning object decision section that selects a terminal to be positioned which is a positioning object and a positioning standard terminal whose position is known from among said wireless terminals;
a positioning management section that requires distance information between said terminal to be positioned and said positioning standard terminal;
a position calculation section that calculates the position of said terminal to be positioned; and
a storage section that keeps an adjacent terminal list that wireless signals of said wireless terminal reach,said wireless terminal includesa distance measurement section that measures the distance from an adjacent terminal that wireless signals of said wireless terminal reach anda communication section that transmits measurement results of said distance measurement section to said positioning management terminal; and
whereinsaid positioning management section requires distance information from said positioning standard terminal selected by said positioning object decision section to said terminal to be positioned selected by said positioning object decision section, andsaid position calculation section calculates the position of said terminal to be positioned using the distance information and position information of said positioning standard terminal.

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 terminal 100 includes a positioning object decision section 130 that selects a terminal to be positioned, which is a positioning object, and a positioning standard terminal, whose position is known, among the wireless terminals 200; a positioning management section 120 that requires distance information between the terminal to be positioned and the positioning standard terminal; and a position calculation section 140 that calculates the position of the terminal to be positioned. The positioning management section 120 requires distance information from the positioning standard terminal selected by the positioning object decision section 130 to the terminal to be positioned selected by the positioning object decision section 130. The position calculation section 140 calculates the position of the terminal to be positioned using the distance information and position information of the positioning standard terminal.
