Abstract:
In a position calculating method performed by a system including beacons, and a control device capable of communicating with the beacons: at least one of the plurality of beacons receives, from a terminal present in the radio wave reaching distance of the beacon, a first signal including terminal identification information identifying the terminal, measures the reception strength of the received signal, and transmits a second signal which includes the terminal identification information, the reception strength and beacon identification information identifying the beacon; and the control device receives the second signal from one of the plurality of beacons, and, on the basis of the position information of the beacon corresponding to the beacon identification information included in the second signal, and on the basis of the reception strength included in the second signal, calculates the position of the terminal corresponding to the terminal identification information included in the second signal.

Claim (Index 2):
A distance calculating method in a system including: a plurality of beacons enabled to perform mutual communications within a predetermined radio wave reachable distance and transmitting radiophares containing self-identifying information, the respective plural beacons being aligned at a predetermined interval within the radio wave reachable distance of at least one of other beacons, the method comprising:\n causing at least one of the plural beacons to receive a first signal containing terminal identifying information for identifying a first terminal from the first terminal existing within the radio wave reachable distance of the beacon, and to transmit a second signal containing the terminal identifying information and a hop count indicating a number of transfers made between the beacons; causing one of the plural beacons to transmit, when receiving the second signal, the second signal as a renewed second signal by adding \u201c1\u201d to the hop count contained in the second signal; and causing a second terminal existing within the radio wave reachable distance of one of the plural beacons to calculate, when receiving the second signal, a distance to the first terminal associated with the terminal identifying information contained in the second signal by multiplying the hop count contained in the second signal by the predetermined interval.
