摘要:
Positional information is provided at a place out of reach of radio wave. The process executed by a positional information providing apparatus includes the steps of: obtaining a received positioning signal (S610); specifying an emission source of the positioning signal (S612); obtaining, when the emission source of the positioning signal is outdoors, a navigation message included in the positioning signal (S622); executing a process for calculating the position based on the signal (S624); obtaining, when the emission source of the positioning signal is indoors, message data from the positioning signal (S630); obtaining coordinate values from the data (S632); and displaying positional information based on the coordinate values (S650).
摘要:
A navigation signal transmitting apparatus and a location information providing apparatus are provided each of which achieves reduced time of positioning with a positioning signal from an indoor positioning transmitter. When an information providing server (1230) recognizes a transmitter ID of a transmitter (1210) from a mobile phone (1200), the information providing server (1230) makes reference to database associated with the transmitter ID, and reads SVG map information associated with the ID (including information for displaying a map and information of a correspondence relation between the transmitter ID and the location of the transmitter on the map). When the information providing server (1230) transmits data of the SVG map information to a base station (1240), the base station (1240) wirelessly emits the data of the SVG map information. When the mobile phone (1200) detects arrival of the data, the mobile phone (1200) can obtain the location of the transmitter (1210) from the data in accordance with a browsing operation of a user of the mobile phone (1200).
