Abstract: [Object] Distance information can be acquired with a high degree of accuracy by a simple configuration, and positioning of high reliability is performed. [Solving Means] A communication apparatus includes a phase acquisition unit that acquires a phase characteristic of a frequency in a propagation channel with a different communication apparatus, a distance generation unit that generates distance information in reference to the phase characteristic, and a speed sensor unit that measures a movement speed of a transmission side of the propagation channel, the movement speed being usable for correction of the phase characteristic.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of human resource management for completing succession process includes (i) deciding, using a computing apparatus to check, if an employee meet criteria of becoming a member of a reward alumni club; (ii) registering the employee as a member with the reward alumni club if the criteria are met; (iii) accumulating membership reward of the member; (iv) checking if the member leaves the reward alumni club; (v) examining, after departure of the member, if succession process of the member has been duly completed; (vi) summarising the membership reward after completion of the succession process; and (vii) disbursing the membership reward to the member.
