Method and system for embedding device positional data in video signals
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a video signal from a video camera, the video signal depicting a recording subject;
receiving positional data from a positioning receiver, the positional data being for a location of an object, the recording subject within view of the object; and
encoding the positional data into a video portion of the video signal to produce a modulated video signal, the modulated video signal capable of being demodulated to present the video signal and the positional data.

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).
