Abstract

The positioning system includes a first module that acquires information for calculating the positional relationship between a first oscillating body and a target, a second module that acquires information for calculating the positional relationship between the first oscillating body and the target with higher accuracy than the first module, and a first computing device. When the first communication device provided in the second module and the second communication device attached to the target are not within a direct communication range, the first computing device calculates the positional relationship between the first oscillating body and the target using information acquired by the first module. When the first communication device and the second communication device are within a range where they can directly communicate, the first computing device calculates the positional relationship between the first oscillating body and the target using information acquired by the second module.

Dependent claims

A positioning system comprising a first module that acquires information for calculating a positional relationship between a first oscillating body and a target, a second module that acquires information for calculating a positional relationship between the first oscillating body and the target with higher accuracy than the first module, and a first computing device, wherein

the second module has a first communication device,
the first communication device is configured to be able to communicate directly with a second communication device attached to the target, and
the first computing device calculates the positional relationship between the first oscillating body and the target using the information acquired by the first module, when the first communication device and the second communication device are not within a range capable of direct communication, and
the first computing device calculates the positional relationship between the first oscillating body and the target using the information acquired by the second module, the information including specific information related to the position of the target received by the first communication device from the second communication device, when the first communication device and the second communication device are within a range capable of direct communication.
