APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING POSITION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing position information, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU);
a global positioning system (GPS) module electrically connected to the CPU and receives a digital position signal;
a radio frequency (RF) module electrically connected to the CPU;
a modulator operatively coupled to the GPS module and modulating the digital position signal into an analog position signal, wherein the modulator uses a modulating frequency outside a voice frequency band;
a mixer electrically connected to the modulator and mixing the analog position signal with an analog voice signal to form an analog composite voice signal; and
a codec electrically connected to the mixer and encoding the analog composite voice signal into a digital composite voice signal,wherein the RF module sends the digital composite voice signal to inform a location of the apparatus for processing position information.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method process position information. A mobile phone sends a first position signal for itself through an RF module and receives a second position signal for other party through the RF module. Therefore, the positions of users using the mobile phones can be simultaneously shown on display of the mobile phone. Moreover, a GPS destination point can be set with reference to the second position signal for other party, and an optimal path can be dynamically programmed according to the GPS destination point. The position signal can be sent through a composite voice signal after it is combined with a voice signal; or the position signal can be sent through short message service (SMS).
