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 system. In this system, a positioning model is generated from the training data measured by smartphones. The model estimates a worker’s position from the test data. 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 developed a positioning system to update the training data according to the holding states and the types of smartphones. We conducted an experiment for three month with 187 employees to evaluate RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of the positioning system. When using different holding states and the type of smartphone, RMSE of the system was reduced to 2.16 m from 4.45 m.
