METHOD FOR MANAGING POSITIONAL INFORMATION OF NODE CONNECTED TO NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of a conventional positional information providing system that a position detectable range is limited to a neighboring place at which a plurality of wireless communication apparatuses are fixedly installed because the conventional system requires the fixed installation of the wireless communication apparatuses for transmitting wireless communication waves. SOLUTION: A method for illustrating positions of nodes connected to an ad hoc network illustrates nodes each having a positional information detection device such as a GPS reception device by using positional information provided from the device and illustrates positions of nodes each having no means for detecting the positional information of its own node by using routing information to the nodes having the means for detecting the positional information.
