Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that is executed by a computer and is configured to control a mobile terminal configured to communicate with another mobile terminal in a predetermined communication range, the program being configured to achieve:
on a mobile terminal,
a function of operating a positioning device configured to perform positioning using a radio wave;
a function of operating a communication device having smaller power consumption than the positioning device, and being configured to detect a relative positional relationship with the other mobile terminal using wireless communication;
a function of at least reducing power to be used by the positioning device;
a function of acquiring and setting position of the other mobile terminal to as to a current position when the relative positional relationship between the other mobile terminal is within a predetermined range; and
a function of setting a current position based on the position of the other mobile device and a distance from the mobile terminal to the other mobile terminal when the relative positional relationship with the other mobile terminal is without the predetermined range the mobile terminal,
wherein
the other mobile terminal performs positioning of the position the other mobile terminal:
(i) when power consumption of the positioning device of the other mobile terminal is smaller than power consumption of the positioning device of the mobile terminal, or
(ii) when positioning accuracy of the positioning device of the other mobile terminal is higher than positioning accuracy of the positioning device of the mobile terminal.
