Original Abstract Submitted
A first wireless device (WD) is installed at a known position, and a second WD is attached to a target of a sterilization process. A reading apparatus attempts reading identification information from WDs, and measures a relative amount of movement from a reference position using a self-localization technique. An estimation unit of a system estimates a position of the target based on the relative amount of movement of the reading apparatus from a time point when the first identification information has been read from the first WD to a time point when the second identification information has been read from the second WD. A database stores position information representing an estimated position of the target and sterilization-related information. The estimated position of the target selected based on the sterilization-related information is notified to a user based on the position information.
