`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Provided is an
`
`improved estimation and identification device that estimates the
`
`position of a
`
`plurality of identification targets and identifies the plurality of identification
`
`targets. The estimation and identification device has a
`
`configuration comprising:
`
`a
`
`plurality
`
`of tracking devices that emit electromagnetic
`
`waves or sound waves and detect the position
`
`of an identification target
`
`on the basis of reflected
`
`electromagnetic
`
`waves or sound waves
`
`from the identification target holding
`
`a wireless transmission terminal;
`
`a
`
`plurality of
`
`wireless
`
`communications
`
`devices
`
`that
`
`wirelessly
`
`communicate with wireless
`
`communications
`
`terminals
`
`and receive identification information for
`
`the wireless
`
`10
`
`communications terminals from the wireless communications terminals; and an
`
`analysis
`
`circuit that identifies the identification target and estimates the
`
`position
`
`of the identification
`
`target,
`
`on the basis of the results of the wireless communications results, the detected
`
`position
`
`of the identification target, and the identification information.
