Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of a conventional program signal recorder that has video-recorded an unnecessary program because repetitive video recording is consecutive in spite of completion of a series broadcast program when a program broadcast recording at a prescribed weekday every week is reserved. SOLUTION: A control section 4 controls a receiver 1 to allow a program information extract section to periodically obtain EPG information. With respect to a program stored in a video recording reservation information storage section 5 to which repetitive video recording is set, the control section 4 discriminates whether or not the program is a final round of the program on the basis of the obtained EPG information, and when the series program is the final round, video recording reservation information in the video recording reservation information storage section 5 is deleted after the final round of the series program is recorded.

2. Description of the Related Art An EPG (Electric Program Guide) system for timer recording reservation by displaying program information including a program start and end date, a broadcast channel and other related information on a screen and selecting a program to be recorded on the screen. Corresponding program signal recording / reproducing devices are becoming popular. In such a program signal recording / reproducing apparatus compatible with the EPG system, a program signal recording / reproducing apparatus using a hard disk as a recording / reproducing unit for recording / reproducing a program signal, uses the same channel at the same time zone every predetermined day of the week. Some have a repetitive recording function for repeatedly overwriting a program broadcast by.

However, when a program that is broadcast a predetermined number of times, such as a drama, is recorded by using such a repetitive recording function, the final episode of the drama has ended. Nevertheless, there was a problem that other programs that were broadcast during that time would continue to be recorded repeatedly. In other words, there was a risk of recording unnecessary programs.

[0004] Further, in the final episode of the drama, the broadcast time may be longer than that of the normal broadcast. However, in the program signal recording / reproducing apparatus so far, only the time zone part of the normal broadcast is recorded and the extended part is recorded. Since it was not recorded, there was a problem that the last scene of the drama could not be recorded. Also, the broadcast time may be extended for the first broadcast of the drama, and in such a case, there is a problem that the broadcast from the second broadcast cannot be properly recorded. Furthermore, there is a risk of missing the opportunity for recording without realizing that the new program has started despite using the EPG system.

[0021] Then, the program information of the last broadcast in the program scheduled for timer recording is searched in the extracted program information (F104), and the program information obtained by the search is the last program. It is confirmed whether or not there is identification information indicating (F105). In other words, if the program to be broadcast every day from Monday to Friday is set to repeat recording function and timer recording is reserved, and there are 5 program information corresponding to each day, these 5 broadcasts It is confirmed whether or not the identification information is present in the program information of the last broadcast portion in the minute.

[0022] If this identification information does not exist, the process returns to F102 without changing the recording reservation information,
If the identification information is present, final recording reservation information is separately generated (F106). That is, when the last broadcast portion of the acquired program information is identified as the last broadcast portion, new recording reservation information is generated based on the program information of the last broadcast portion. Therefore, the entire program can be recorded even if the broadcast time is extended.

[0023] Note that if new recording reservation information is generated, the recording reservation information that already exists and the recording time of the program will overlap, but in such a case, a new recording that is generated later in time will occur. Since the timer recording operation is executed based on the reservation information, the entire program can be recorded even when the broadcast time is extended. Then, since the recording reservation information accumulated in the recording reservation information accumulating unit 5 is erased after the last recording is completed (F107), another program is not mistakenly recorded thereafter.
