Wireless communications terminal, computer program executable by wireless communications terminal and method for outputting positional information from wireless communications terminal

A computer program executable by a wireless communications terminal, the computer program comprising instructions for:

• receiving search information from each of a plurality of searching means, each for searching at least one corresponding external signal source, which outputs a signal usable in determining a position of the wireless communications terminal, and for outputting the search information about the at least one corresponding external signal source, which is obtained through the searching of the at least one corresponding external signal source, wherein the plurality of searching means includes a first searching means for searching at least one GPS satellite as the at least one corresponding external signal source and a second searching means for searching at least one base station as the at least one corresponding external signal source;
• transmitting the search information of each of the plurality of searching means to an external location information server through a wireless telephone transceiver means for performing wireless telephone communication with a corresponding one of the at least one base station;
• receiving a first one of a plurality of position measurement results, each of which indicates the position of the wireless communications terminal, from the external location information server through the wireless telephone transceiver means, wherein the position measurement results are generated by the external location information server based on the search information of at least one of the plurality of searching means;
• determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied;
• receiving a second one of the position measurement results from the external location information server through the wireless telephone transceiver means when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• inputting the second one of the position measurement results to an outputting means for outputting positional information of the wireless communications system, so that the outputting means outputs the second one of the position measurement results as the positional information of the wireless communications terminal.

A method for outputting positional information from a wireless communications terminal, the method comprising:

• receiving search information from each of a plurality of searching means, each for searching at least one corresponding external signal source, which outputs a signal usable in determining a position of the wireless communications terminal, and for outputting the search information about the at least one corresponding external signal source, which is obtained through the searching of the at least one corresponding external signal source, wherein the plurality of searching means includes a first searching means for searching at least one GPS satellite as the at least one corresponding external signal source and a second searching means for searching at least one base station as the at least one corresponding external signal source;
• transmitting the search information of each of the plurality of searching means to an external location information server through a wireless telephone transceiver means for performing wireless telephone communication with a corresponding one of the at least one base station;
• receiving a first one of a plurality of position measurement results, each of which indicates the position of the wireless communications terminal, from the external location information server through the wireless telephone transceiver means, wherein the position measurement results are generated by the external location information server based on the search information of at least one of the plurality of searching means;
• determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied;
• receiving a second one of the position measurement results from the external location information server through the wireless telephone transceiver means when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• inputting the second one of the position measurement results to an outputting means for outputting positional information of the wireless communications system, so that the outputting means outputs the second one of the position measurement results as the positional information of the wireless communications terminal.
