Self-position measuring terminal

A method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• determining, by a position determining unit of the information processing apparatus, a position of the information processing apparatus based on an external signal;
• detecting, by a detecting unit of the information processing apparatus, a change in position of the information processing apparatus;
• measuring, according to a change in position detected by the detecting, an amount of displacement of the information processing apparatus from a first time when the positioning unit starts to determine the position of the information processing apparatus to a second time when the positioning unit completes determining the position of the information processing apparatus;
• and
• identifying a position of the information processing apparatus at the first time by compensating the position of the information processing apparatus determined by the positioning unit at the second time with the amount of displacement of the information processing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a process comprising:

• determining, by a position determining unit of the information processing apparatus, a position of the information processing apparatus based on an external signal;
• detecting, by a detecting unit of the information processing apparatus, a change in position of the information processing apparatus;
• measuring, according to a change in position detected by the detecting, an amount of displacement of the information processing apparatus from a first time when the positioning unit starts to determine the position of the information processing apparatus to a second time when the positioning unit completes determining the position of the information processing apparatus;
• and
• identifying a position of the information processing apparatus at the first time by compensating the position of the information processing apparatus determined by the positioning unit at the second time with the amount of displacement of the information processing apparatus.
