Description of the Related Art As a method for measuring the current position of a mobile terminal, for example, a method using a GPS (Global Positioning System) has already been put to practical use in car navigation and the like. In a method using GPS, there is also a method of using a cellular telephone network to notify mobile terminals of auxiliary information for receiving GPS radio waves (Nikkei Communication, July 16, 2000, p. 120 issued by Nikkei BP).

法（特開平７−１８１２４２参照）が知られている。On the other hand, as a method not using GPS, there is a method of receiving a radio wave transmitted from a base station of a cellular telephone at a mobile terminal and calculating a current position using a propagation time of the radio wave (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 7-181242). See).

【発明が解決しようとする課題】ＧＰＳ衛星からの信号

壁等で大きな減衰を受け、受信品質が著しく劣化してし
まう。このためＧＰＳを用いた方式では、屋内において
位置測定に必要なＧＰＳ信号の受信品質を確保できず、
正確な位置測定をすることができない。また高層ビルの
直近では見通せる天空の範囲が狭くなるため、位置測定
に利用可能な受信品質を満たすＧＰＳ衛星数が減少し、
ＧＰＳを用いた方式での位置測定が困難となる。A signal from a GPS satellite has a low signal strength on the surface of the earth, and is greatly attenuated especially on a ceiling or a wall indoors, so that the reception quality is significantly deteriorated. For this reason, in the method using GPS, the reception quality of the GPS signal required for position measurement indoors cannot be ensured,
Inability to measure position accurately. In addition, the range of the sky that can be seen in the immediate vicinity of a high-rise building is narrow, so the number of GPS satellites that satisfy the reception quality that can be used for position measurement decreases,
Position measurement by a method using GPS becomes difficult.

不可能となる。On the other hand, in the vicinity of a cellular telephone base station or in a suburb or a mountainous area where the number of cellular telephone base stations is small, a cellular telephone base station transmitting a signal satisfying reception quality that can be measured at a mobile terminal position is used. The number decreases, and the position measurement method using radio waves from the cellular telephone base station becomes unavailable.

For this reason, a problem that the service area of the location information service becomes narrow occurs.
