Abstract: To provide a positioning technology capable of measuring a position of a moving object moving at high speed with high reliability, high accuracy, and high speed. The positioning system 1000 can obtain accurate position data using the positioning information collected from a plurality of base stations, and deliver the obtained accurate position data to the base station. In the positioning system 1000, the base station serving as the position reference station can always hold the accurate position data based on the accurate measurement result data. In the positioning system 1000, the base station whose accurate position is known is used as a position reference station to perform RTK positioning with, for example, the mobile station, thus allowing the position of the mobile station to be measured with high accuracy.

Abstract: An information management system includes: a mobile communication terminal capable of obtaining location information; and a medical institution provided with a regional medical data bank system and a transmitter. The mobile communication terminal transmits a space-time tag and a terminal ID to the system. The space-time tag is constituted of time information and location information. A space-time ID information processing unit of the system generates a space-time ID in a folder for each user based on a plurality of space-time tags and stores it in space-time ID information DB. A terminal device of the medical institution transmits the location information of the mobile communication terminal and the time information to the system. A verification processing unit verifies information from the mobile communication terminal against information from a utilization terminal and transmits the information to the utilization terminal when a request for transmission of the information is valid.

Abstract: Provided is a navigation signal transmitter capable of ensuring reduction in frequency deviation of a terrestrially transmitted navigation signal at low cost. The navigation signal transmitter is operable to receive a transmission wave, generate a synchronization pulse in synchronization with a predetermined data frame, generate an internal clock fundamental oscillation by a reference signal synchronizing section (550) using the synchronization pulse as a reference signal, generate an IMES signal based on the internal clock fundamental oscillation, and transmit the IMES signal. The reference signal synchronizing section (550) comprises a counter circuit (551), a comparator (553), a low-pass control filter (554), a D/A converter (555) and a voltage controlled oscillator (556).

Abstract: A navigation signal transmitting apparatus and a location information providing apparatus are provided for reducing time of positioning with a positioning signal from an indoor positioning transmitter. When an information providing server recognizes a transmitter ID of a transmitter from a mobile phone, the server makes reference refers 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 server transmits data of the SVG map information to a base station, the base station wirelessly emits the data of the SVG map information. When the mobile phone detects arrival of the data, the mobile phone can obtain the location of the transmitter from the data in accordance with a browsing operation of a user of the phone.

Abstract: Provided is a position information providing system which can reduce a time required for acquiring position information. An indoor transmitter is adapted to provide position information by using a second positioning signal compatible with a first positioning signal which is a spread spectrum signal from each of a plurality of satellites. The indoor transmitter includes an EEPROM which stores therein position data for identifying an installation location thereof, an FPGA operable to generate a second positioning signal including the position data as a spread spectrum signal, and a transmitting section operable to transmit the spread spectrum signal. The second positioning signal is generated to repeat the same content in a cycle shorter than that of the first positioning signal.
