Positioning system, position information transmitter, communication terminal, and control method of the positioning system

摘要

In a positioning system comprising a position information transmitter that transmits a position information signal containing position information indicative of a position as a signal compatible with a satellite positioning signal transmitted from an artificial satellite and a communication terminal that when receiving the satellite positioning signal, finds a current position of the communication terminal by finding a position of the artificial satellite and that when receiving the position information signal, finds a current position of the communication terminal based on the position information, the position information transmitter transmits the position information signal containing a boundary flag that determines which of the satellite positioning signal or the position information signal each of correlators of the communication terminal is to receive, and the communication terminal sets which of the satellite positioning signal or the position information signal each of the correlators is to receive based on the boundary flag.
