METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EMBEDDING DEVICE POSITIONAL DATA IN VIDEO SIGNALS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a video signal, the video signal depicting a recording subject;
receiving positional data from a positioning receiver, the positional data being for a location associated with the positioning receiver, the recording subject being viewable from the location; and
encoding the positional data into a video portion of the video signal to produce a modulated video signal.

Abstract
A system for embedding positional data (20) in a video signal (18), the system having a mobile object (4), a positioning receiver (10) associated with the mobile object (4) for obtaining positional data (20) on the mobile object (4) from a plurality of positioning satellites (6), a video camera (16) associated with the mobile object (4) for creating the video signal (18), an encoder (12) for receiving the video signal (18) from the video camera (16) and the positional data (20) from the positioning receiver (10) and modulating the positional data (20) within the video signal (18) thereby creating a modulated video signal (22), and a video recorder (15) associated with the mobile object (4) for storing the modulated video signal (22) on a recording medium (14).
