Abstract: According to one embodiment, a base station as a verification target and a partner base station to be a set of a two-point positioning scheme with the base station as the verification target are detected from a list. It is determined whether the partner base station is already selected as the base station as the verification target. When the detected partner base station is not selected yet, and the detected partner base station is already selected, it is determined whether the base station as the verification target is included in the adjacent candidate base stations with respect to the partner base station. When the base station as the verification target is included in the adjacent candidate base stations, the base station as the verification target and the partner base station, which is determined to be already selected, are confirmed as a pair of base stations.
