Abstract:
1. A hand-held device having positioning and photographing functions, the hand-held device comprising: a photographing module which is used to photograph an environment of a shooting place to form a digital picture; a positioning module which is used to access positioning data of the shooting place; a database which stores plural geographical area data; and a processor which couples the photographing module, the positioning module and the database; wherein while obtaining the digital picture, the processor compares the positioning data with area center data of every first geographical area data in the plural geographical area data to obtain target geographical area data based on a comparison result, and an Euclidean distance between the area center data of the target geographical area data and the positioning data is the smallest, the processor determines whether the target geographical area data includes plural second geographical area data, when the target geographical area data includes plural second geographical area data, the processor takes the second geographical area data as the first geographical area data and compares the positioning data with area center data of every first geographical area data in the plural geographical area data to obtain target geographical area data based on a comparison result again, and when the target geographical area data does not include plural second geographical area data, the processor displays the target geographical area data on the digital picture corresponding to the shooting place.
