Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to time synchronization between camera image data of an image capture device and GPS reception data of a smartphone device. [Background technology]

[0002] GPS signals are widely used not only in the field of location information but also in the field of time information. In particular, they are used as synchronization signals in communication systems that require synchronization between geographically distant points. The time information in GPS signals can be used to synchronize devices that have GPS signals.

[0003] However, there were drawbacks such as delays due to noise in devices with GPS signals, and the inability to synchronize time in devices without GPS signals.

[0004] As a solution to this problem, the time synchronization system uses a simple configuration to synchronize the time by matching the time information extracted from the location information and the video information. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
