Claim:
1. A data processing system comprising: a communication terminal; and at least one or more distribution apparatuses configured to distribute a wireless signal to the communication terminal; wherein each of the at least one or more distribution apparatuses distributes a wireless signal that contains position data that indicates a position of the distribution apparatus; wherein the communication terminal stores beforehand in the communication terminal a predetermined threshold value with respect to a signal strength of a wireless signal distributed by a distribution apparatus, compares the predetermined threshold value and a signal strength of one wireless signal that is distributed from a first distribution apparatus among the at least one or more distribution apparatuses, and has a determination unit that determines that position data obtained from a relative position measuring method is indicative of a current position of the communication terminal when the strength of the one wireless signal is below the predetermined threshold value; and determines that position data received from the first distribution apparatus is indicative of the current position of the communication terminal when (i) 2 or more wireless signals containing position data are consecutively received from the first distribution apparatus, and (ii) when the signal strengths of the 2 or more wireless signals are above the predetermined threshold value.
