Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, to realize the user authentication of the information system by the fact that a rightful user is in the right place using the hospital building itself as the basis for authentication, we confirmed that the connection information to the Wireless LAN access point (AP) provides sufficient location information for authentication. In addition, as a solution to false positives by connecting to the AP of the upper or lower floor or of the next buildings, we tried to improve the position estimation accuracy by removing the movement which was not possible by the movement of the actual person as noise, and constructed the function to capture user's location information with practical accuracy, and demonstrated the effectiveness of the function.
