Patent ID: 8170411

Claim:
A system for inputting position information into a captured image, the system comprising: a digital image processing device for generating an image file by capturing an image and storing the image file; and a global positioning system (GPS) device for receiving position information from a GPS satellite at regular time intervals; a GPS information storage unit for receiving position information from the GPS device and for promptless storing of the position information; and a control unit for saving position information, into the image file; wherein: the global positioning system (GPS) device receives position information with the timestamp from the GPS satellite at regular time intervals; the GPS information storage unit receives the position information with the timestamp from the GPS device and promptlessly stores of the position information with the timestamp; and the control unit saves position information of the received position information from the GPS information storage unit into the image file if a time when the image file is generated is different from the timestamp of position information stored in the GPS information storage unit.
