To provide a positioning system, a positioning method, and a positioning
server, which are capable of improving accuracy in detection of a
position. In a positioning system, three or more access points connected
to a terminal station by wireless communication are connected to a
positioning server through a network, the access points transmit, to the
positioning server, information regarding times of having received a
signal transmitted from any one of the access points or the terminal
station, and the positioning server measures a position of the terminal
station based on the information regarding the times, the information
having been received from the access points. In the positioning system,
the access points select a communication method for maximizing a strength
of the signal received from the terminal station and receive the signal
from the terminal station, and the positioning server measures the
position of the terminal station based on the information regarding the
times, the information having been received from the access points.
