  • Publication number: 20070213930
    Abstract: In a position estimation apparatus, an information acquisition/storage section 3 acquires, when a receiver 1 can track an artificial satellite, a current position obtained from the receiver 1 and an output value from each of pressure sensors 2R and 2L, and then stores at least a travel speed and a travel direction for a user and the obtained output value. Also, when the receiver 1 cannot track the artificial satellite, a locator 4 in the position estimation apparatus retrieves, from the information acquisition/storage section 3, a travel speed and a travel direction of the user based on the output value acquired from each of the sensors 2R and 2L and the output value stored in the information acquisition/storage section 3. Thereafter, the locator 4 estimates a current position of the user based on the retrieved travel speed and travel direction.
