Removable apparatus for use in a digital recording/reproducing device for outputing position information, and a digital recording/reproducing device having the same
First Claim
1. A position determining device, adapted for use with an image recording device, the position determining device comprising:
- a receiver, adapted to receive data for position calculation;
a calculator, adapted to calculate position information based on said data for position calculation;
a connecting portion comprising a fixing portion, adapted to removably connect to the image recording device, and a transmitting terminal adapted to provide said position information to the image recording device; and
a transmitter, adapted to transmit said position information calculated by said calculator to the image recording device connected to said fixing portion via said transmitting terminal.

Abstract
A removable apparatus for use in a digital recording/reproducing device, for outputting position information, and a digital recording/reproducing device having the same. The removable apparatus has a global positioning system (GPS) having a receiver for externally receiving data for position calculation, a calculator for calculating the position information using the data for position calculation, a connecting portion comprising a fixing portion removably secured to an external device and a transmitting terminal for transmitting the position information to the external device, and a transmitter for transmitting the position information calculated by the calculator to the external device connected to the fixing portion through the transmitting terminal. Preferably, the GPS terminal further includes a power supply for supplying a driving power to the receiver, the calculator and the transmitter. Accordingly, by matching the image of the object with the position information of the image, and then recording the same on the recording medium, it becomes easier to check the position information of the image being displayed during the reproducing of the recording medium.
