Is transmitted, the positioning terminal 36a detects that the radio wave is received from the θa direction with reference to the reference azimuth (for example, north), and the positioning terminal 36b detects that the radio wave is received from the θb direction, Further, the positioning terminal 36c is −θ
It detects that a radio wave has been received from the direction c. At the same time, each positioning terminal reads the transmitting station number transmitted from the player terminal 35. Each positioning terminal stores the data of the received transmitting station number, received direction, and its radio field intensity together with time data, and transmits the stored contents to the master in response to a call from the master. Based on these data, the personal computer 11 in the master room determines, based on the known position data of each positioning terminal and the reception direction data of each terminal station, a point at which a straight line extending in the receiving direction from each positioning terminal intersects. Obtained as the position of the player terminal. At that time, when positioning data is received from three or more positioning terminals, singular data is excluded and averaging processing is performed to increase positioning accuracy (accuracy). Since the positioning terminal receives the radio wave transmitted from the player terminal and detects its direction, if there is no communication between the player terminal and the master, the position of the player terminal is determined. It cannot be detected. Therefore, the master requests dummy signal transmission to the player terminal that has not performed radio wave transmission for a certain period of time. As a result, the master can detect the position of the player terminal with which communication is not being performed at regular time intervals. Further, in the above-described example, each positioning terminal stores the data of the received transmitting station number, the received direction and the radio field intensity together with the time data, and transmits the stored contents to the master in response to a call from the master. However, as another method, each positioning terminal may transmit the data of the received transmitting station number, the received direction, and the radio field intensity to the master each time. However, in this case, in order to avoid collision of positioning data transmitted from a plurality of positioning terminals, each positioning terminal generates a random number based on the terminal number and time, and receives radio waves from the player side terminal. After that, a delay time by the random number is individually provided until the positioning data is transmitted.

The band-pass filter 57 extracts a signal component having a center frequency of 60 Hz, for example, corresponding to the frequency of the switching signal of the switching signal generating circuit 55. The phase comparison circuit 58 compares the phase of the 60 Hz signal component included in the switching signal and the received signal. A / D converter 59 converts the comparison result into digital data. The microprocessor 61 reads the A / D-converted value and converts it into azimuth data of the received signal. The modem 60 demodulates the received signal and converts it into a serial data string. The microprocessor 61 reads the signal of the modem 60 and extracts the transmitting station number from the data included in the data string. The transmission / reception unit 50 has the same basic configuration as the player terminal shown in FIG. 5 (however, a display unit, a key input unit, a speaker, and a microphone are not required). The transmission / reception unit 50 receives a call from the master unit, performs response control under the control of the positioning control unit 61,
