Claim:
1. An integrated positioning method which enables a positioning apparatus to measure a position of a user, the method comprising: acquiring a first estimated position obtained by a first positioning scheme and a first weight for the first estimated position; acquiring a second estimated position obtained by a second positioning scheme and a second weight for the second estimated position; correcting the first and second weights based on reference position information corresponding to position environment of the user; and integrating the first and second estimated positions to produce a third estimated position by using the corrected first and second weights, wherein the correcting comprises: integrating the first and second estimated positions to estimate a first position candidate by using a first value of the first weight obtained before correction and a second value of the second weight obtained before correction; and integrating the first estimated position and the second estimated position to estimate a second position candidate by increasing the first weight to a value higher than the first value and decreasing the second weight to a value lower than the second value.
