POSITIONING APPARATUS, POSITIONING METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREOF
First Claim
1. A positioning apparatus being used to compute a self-position, the positioning apparatus being able to communicate with a reference apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiving unit, being configured to receive a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from the reference apparatus;
a storage unit, being configured to store attenuating factor data; and
a processing unit electrically connected to the transceiving unit and the storage unit respectively, being configured to retrieve an attenuating factor corresponding to the RSSI from the attenuating factor data and compute the self-position according to the RSSI and the attenuating factor.

Abstract
A positioning apparatus, a positioning method, and a computer program product thereof are provided. The positioning apparatus is used to calculate a self-position. The positioning apparatus can communicate with a reference apparatus and comprises a transceiving unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. The transceiving unit is configured to receive a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from the reference apparatus. The storage unit is configured to store attenuating factor data. The processing unit is configured to retrieve an attenuating factor corresponding to the RSSI from the attenuating factor data and calculate the self-position according to the RSSI and the attenuating factor.
