After that, I usually hope that: shooting on the camera; secondly, the digital photo will be processed and the action will be left behind; the number of the photos will be numerous, or because there is no instant refill 3 all commercially available photographic equipment (including Traditional camera, digital camera, digital camera, mobile phone with photo function, pda, etc.) The date of shooting is only recorded in the month of the month. It is not possible to mark the digital photo at the same time as the number (4). The news that the memory of forgetting the travel is not regrettable, is still heavy in everyone. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a GPS navigation device with a camera function, which can utilize the GPS navigation device by the user. At the same time as the photographing function, the information of the photographing place is automatically obtained by using the function of the GPS navigation device itself, and is added to the photographed digital photograph. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method for processing a digital photo, which can automatically display information about a shooting location on a digital photo while acquiring a digital photo. The present invention provides a GPS navigation device having a camera function, which includes a camera module, a GPS module, a data library, and a processing unit. Among them, the camera 6 1295 U group is used to take digital photos, while the GPS module is turned to receive positioning bedding. When the user uses the camera module included in the present invention to take a digital phase (4) at a shooting location, the processing unit obtains the geographical information of the shooting location from the database according to the positioning data received by the GPS module at the shooting location f. 'Show the geographic information on the digital photo. In a preferred case, the invention further includes a storage medium, which is also a processing unit.

Because the fortune makes the leader take the ship's module to obtain the location data of the shooting location, and = the geographic information that can be used. Thereby, the present invention can add geographic information to digital photos at the user's location. At the same time as the user takes a picture, it is as follows. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to Tubu photography ^ ... minus 1G3 output 'all reduced to the processing unit. And the processing can be done early. In a preferred embodiment, the library 107 can be configured in a memory. In the Gps navigation device provided by the present invention, the camera module may include a CMOS or CCD sensing module, which is used for taking digital and film. In addition, the GPS module 1〇3 receives information used for positioning from GPS satellites around the earth, such as pitch angle information, standard time, ephemeris data, etc., and obtains positioning data for positioning and navigation. 2 is a flow chart showing the steps of a method for processing a digital phase film in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, when a user performs step S201 by using the camera module 101 in a shooting location, that is, when shooting is performed to obtain a digital photo, the processing unit 1〇5 can perform the digital photo. Temporarily stored in a memory. In the preferred embodiment 129504 of the w.doc/g, the memory may be the synchronous dynamic access memory used to store the database 107. At the same time as the digital photo is obtained, the processing unit 1〇5 can obtain the geographical information about the shooting location by the GPS module 103 as described in step S203. In detail, when the present invention obtains a digital photo, the processing unit 105 may obtain the positioning data of the shooting location from the GPS module 1〇3 as described in step S205, and then the processing unit 105 parses the positioning data to obtain, for example, shooting. The location of the location coordinates information. Then, the processing unit 1 still searches for the corresponding data from the map database 109 in the database 107 according to the parsed positioning data to obtain the geographic information of the shooting location, as described in step S207. When the processing unit 105 obtains the geographical information about the shooting location, it can also search for the corresponding character point matrix graphic data according to the content of the geographic information from the font library U1 in the database 107, that is, step S2〇9. Then, the processing unit 105 sends the character graphic tribute of the geographic information to the memory of the temporary digital photo as described in step S211, and synthesizes the digital photo with the character graphic data of the geographic information to be in the digital position. The photo shows the geographical information about the location. The following is a practical example to illustrate the above steps. It is assumed that the user uses the GPS navigation device provided by the present invention to take a picture at the Zhongzheng Memorial Hall. At this time, the processing unit 105 can learn from the map database 109 according to the positioning data received by the GP s module 丨〇3. The location where the user took this digital photo is the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Then, the processing unit 1〇5 will learn the character graphic data about the five characters of the “Zhongzheng Memorial Hall” from the font library^, and then
