Abstract(in English) Covid-19 is continuing to spread around the world. Office workers therefore work in several sites to balance work and prevetation of its. A positioning system for estimating worker’s positions is attracting considerable attention. Given this background, we propose a machine-learning based positioning method. In this method, a positioning model is generated from the training data measured by smartphones. The model estimates a worker’s position from the test data measrured by worker’s smartphone. When the training data and the test data were measured by using different types of smartphones, a positioning error increased. In addition, a different holding state of smartphone increased the error, too. To reduce the error, we propose a method to update the training data according to the holding states and the types of smartphones.The evaluation of the proposed method was done with RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) as a metric. When using different holding states and the type of smartphone, RMSE of the method was reduced to 2.6 to 3.0m.
