A removable apparatus for use in a digital recording/reproducing device, for outputting position information, and a digital recording/reproducing device having the same. The removable apparatus has a global positioning system (GPS) having a receiver for externally receiving data for position calculation, a calculator for calculating the position information using the data for position calculation, a connecting portion comprising a fixing portion removably secured to an external device and a transmitting terminal for transmitting the position information to the external device, and a transmitter for transmitting the position information calculated by the calculator to the external device connected to the fixing portion through the transmitting terminal. Preferably, the GPS terminal further includes a power supply for supplying a driving power to the receiver, the calculator and the transmitter. Accordingly, by matching the image of the object with the position information of the image, and then recording the same on the recording medium, it becomes easier to check the position information of the image being displayed during the reproducing of the recording medium.

This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119 from Korean Patent Application No. 2002-20536, filed on Apr. 16, 2002, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a digital recording/reproducing device, and more particularly, to a digital recording/reproducing device capable of recording information pertaining to a position of an object of which an image is being recorded by the digital recording/reproducing device.
The above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a digital recording/reproducing device according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing an example of the connecting unit of FIG. 1;
Reference will now be made in detail to certain embodiments of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a digital recording/reproducing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is capable of recording position information of an object whose image is being captured. Hereinafter, the digital recording/reproducing device will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the digital recording/reproducing device includes a position information outputting apparatus 100 for calculating and outputting position information, a recording system 200 for shooting and taking images of an object and recording the taken images in association with the position information output from the position information outputting apparatus 100, and a connecting portion 300 for separably connecting the position information outputting apparatus 100 with the recording system 200 and for transmitting the position information from the position information outputting apparatus 100 to the recording system 200. Accordingly, the recording system 200 is capable of recording the images of the object together with the position information received through the connecting portion 300. In reproducing of the recording medium, the operator can check the position information of the image on the recording medium. Throughout the description of the embodiments, a GPS terminal will be described as the position information outputting apparatus 100 by way of example.
