Description

  The present invention relates to an information search / playback apparatus and a display method thereof that can easily extract a program of a television receiver and various contents stored in a recording / playback apparatus.

  In recent years, with the spread of broadcast satellites, communication satellites, cable TVs, and the like, digital broadcast services that can receive digitized video information and program information have become popular. In this service, a system that can easily select a desired channel from a large number of channels is desired. In order to cope with this, this system adopts an electronic program guide called EPG, which is digitized on the home TV from the transmitted channel number, program broadcast time, program name, program content, performers, etc. The TV program guide is reproduced, an arbitrary program is searched from the TV program guide, and this can be viewed on the TV.

  On the other hand, with the recent development of video recording technology, a large amount of video information can be recorded on an HDD or a DVD. Since these recording devices have a large capacity, it is difficult to extract arbitrary contents from contents such as recorded programs. Therefore, in the prior art, there is one that automatically generates a folder and sorts and records continuous contents in this folder.

  For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-348807 discloses a recording / reproducing apparatus that allows a user to quickly find a desired content from a large number of contents without being forced to perform complicated operations. In this conventional example, the content to be reserved for recording is specified from the recording reservation information or the content is specified by the user, and based on the specified content, there is no identical content with different recording date and time. Automatically creates a recording folder, and if there is the same content, automatically creates a subfolder under the recording folder. When the recording reservation start time is reached, the video is recorded, and the video is analyzed to extract a scene where the video is switched to generate a thumbnail as an index. The generated thumbnail is stored in the recording folder or the subfolder for each scene. Record in association with. When playing back a recorded video, a thumbnail is selected from the hierarchical display of the recording folder, the subfolder, and the thumbnail and played back.

JP 2004-348807 A

According to the conventional example, when a continuous program is reserved, a recording folder is automatically generated if there is no identical content with different recording date and time, and if there is the same content, a subfolder is automatically created under the recording folder. Therefore, even if a plurality of different contents are mixed on the large-capacity storage medium, the desired recorded contents can be quickly found.
Further, since the apparatus automatically creates a folder when recording, the user is not forced to perform complicated operations.

However, according to the conventional example, although a recording / reproducing apparatus that automatically generates a folder when a program is reserved for the first time is disclosed, automatic creation of other folders and program reservation are not disclosed. In addition, since a folder is created even when there is no same content, when such a program is selected, the hierarchy becomes deep and the operability is impaired.
Further, for example, when a continuous content is reserved, it is desired to decide whether to make a continuous reservation after viewing the content, instead of a continuous reservation from the beginning. In such a case, according to the conventional example, the reservation information of the corresponding content must be input again.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a recording / reproducing apparatus in which continuous reservation can be easily set based on content that has already been recorded, in succession to folder editing of the content.
Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to organize only the same content such as a series of programs in a folder without any trouble.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the recording / reproducing apparatus of the present invention, the recording information of the content including program data is called from the recording / reproducing apparatus and displayed in a list on the display device, and one content of the content is displayed from the list display A search condition input area for receiving a selection and receiving a search condition related to the content is displayed on the display device, the search condition set in the search condition input area is received, and the recording information of the content that matches the search condition is Extracted from the recording / playback device and displayed in a list on the display device, accepts creation of a folder of the contents displayed in the list, generates the folder, and searches for reservation information regarding the content included in the generated folder If there is no reservation information, a recording reservation for the content is set.
Also, it is determined whether or not the recording reservation setting is a continuous setting. If the recording reservation setting is a continuous setting, a folder related to the recording reservation is automatically created, and the content recorded based on the recording reservation setting is stored in the folder. To store.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily perform content folder editing.

As a result, it is possible to connect another additional storage device or a personal computer.

Next, the recording reservation setting for continuous recording, which is a feature of this embodiment, will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, it is possible to set a recording reservation and a folder for storing the content reserved for the recording from various scenes.
First, with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 9, the recording reservation operation from the program guide will be described. FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart for recording reservation from the program guide. 4 to 9 are display screen diagrams showing screen transitions of recording reservations from the program guide.

  First, in this embodiment, the microcomputer 101 receives an operation signal from the remote controller 300 and executes a corresponding operation. In FIG. 3, when the microcomputer 101 receives an operation signal of the menu button 304 provided on the remote controller 300, the microcomputer 101 displays the menu screen 440 shown in FIG. 4 stored in the HDD 109 on the monitor 200. In this menu screen 440, various menu buttons such as HDD, DVD, TV, program guide, etc. are allocated in a checkerboard shape, and one of these menu buttons is operated by the cursor key group 305 and the enter key 306 provided on the remote controller 300. When selected, the microcomputer 101 executes a function corresponding to the selected menu button. For example, in FIG. 4, when the program guide button 441 is selected, the microcomputer 101 calls up and displays the program guide screen 450 of FIG. 5 from the HDD 109 (step 501).

  In FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the program guide screen 450 displays time on the vertical axis and channels on the horizontal axis, and various contents are allocated and displayed at positions corresponding to the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. These contents can be selected by operating the cursor key group 305 and the enter key 306. For example, FIG. 5 shows a state where “AA story” is selected. The microcomputer 101 monitors whether the determination key 306 is operated on the program guide screen 450 (step 503). When the determination key 306 is operated, the program data related to the content for which the determination key 306 is operated is called. The recording reservation screen 460 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed (step 505).

  In FIG. 6, in this embodiment, “title”, “channel”, “day of the week”, and “recording time” are displayed on the recording reservation screen 460 as program data. The user can confirm whether the desired content is selected from the program table by confirming the program data. The user selects the reservation button 461 to make a reservation with the displayed program data, and selects the cancel button 462 to return to the original program table. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the reservation button 461 is selected and highlighted. When the reservation button 461 is selected, the microcomputer 101 displays a reservation data correction screen 470 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 7, the reservation data correction screen 470 is a screen that enables the correction of the “day of the week” data on the recording reservation screen 460 of FIG. 6. “Day of the week” is highlighted so that it can be corrected at a glance. This “day of the week” can be changed with the up and down keys of the cursor key group 305. In this embodiment, it is possible to sequentially change to “set date”, “daily”, “weekly”, “Monday to Friday”, “Month to Saturday”, and “Others” by operating the up and down keys. FIG. 8 shows a state where “weekly” is selected.

  In FIG. 8, in this embodiment, when continuous recording such as “everyday”, “weekly”, “Monday to Friday”, “Month to Saturday” is set, “Automatic Folder Creation” 481 is displayed by default. . This "automatic folder creation" can be canceled by removing (selecting) the check mark. The user can register the set program data as reservation data by selecting the reservation button 461 in the state of FIG.

When the reservation button 461 is selected, the microcomputer 101 determines whether the “day of the week” data is a continuous setting (507). If not, the microcomputer 101 sets the reservation data in step 517. On the other hand, if it is a continuous recording setting, it is determined whether or not automatic folder creation is set (step 509). If it is not set, reservation data is set in step 517. On the other hand, if automatic folder creation is set, a folder relating to the reservation data is automatically generated (step 515), and subsequent image data is set to be recorded in the folder (step 517).
In this example, a folder is automatically created by determining whether the recording date and time reservation settings and automatic folder creation are checked, but before creating the folder, check the reserved program title information. In addition, there is a method of entering the same folder only when the program title is the same. The latter method can prevent different programs from entering the same folder when there is an unexpected program change.

  Then, a confirmation screen 490 indicating that the reservation setting as shown in FIG. 9 is completed is displayed for a predetermined time, and the reservation flow is terminated. If the folder is automatically set in step 515, the confirmation screen 490 displays that the folder has been created, and if it is set in step 521 to add to the existing folder, the confirmation screen At 490, the same content is displayed.

  In this embodiment, “automatic folder creation” 481 can be selected, but it is exceptional that the folder is not automatically created. Therefore, “automatic folder creation” 481 may not be selected. In steps 511 and 513, the step of searching for reservation data or determining may be performed by searching whether or not a folder related to the reservation data is set.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10 to FIG. 20, a step of making a recording reservation following creation of a folder for an editing function will be described. FIG. 10 is an operation flowchart from when the folder sorting is set by the editing function to when the recording reservation is made. 11 to 20 are diagrams showing screen transitions related to FIG.

  First, when “HDD” is selected on the menu screen 440 in FIG. 4, the microcomputer 101 displays a recorded program search screen 400 shown in FIG. 11. The recorded program search screen 400 can also be displayed by pressing the continuous program button 301 or the recorded program button 302 of the remote controller 300. Here, since no folder is set in the recorded program search screen 400 of FIG. 11, the operation of the continuous program button 301 is disabled.

  In FIG. 11, in this example, since no folder is set, only “all programs” are displayed in the folder display area 401, and the content display area 402 is recorded in the thumbnail format of the content stored in the HDD 109. Are displayed in order. When one of the contents is selected and the function menu button 307 is pressed as shown in FIG. 12, the microcomputer 101 displays an edit window 420 as shown in FIG. Is displayed.

  The editing window 420 includes various editing menus such as “edit”, “delete”, “detailed information”, “folder sorting”, “folder move”, “change to list display”, “arrangement order” in addition to “play” operation. By selecting these by operating the cursor key group 305 and the enter key 306, the selected operation can be performed.

  In this embodiment, by selecting the “folder sorting”, it is possible to create a folder by extracting other content related to the corresponding content, and to set reservation data related to the folder.

FIG. 10 shows an operation flow after “folder sorting” is selected. In FIG. 10, when “folder sorting” is selected (step 601), the microcomputer 101 displays the search condition window 430 shown in FIG. 14 (step 603).
The search condition window 430 displays a guidance that “searches for the same program and creates and registers the found recorded program in a program folder” and a setting item of “condition for searching for a program”. ing.

In this setting item, “program name”, “recording date”, “recording time zone”, “channel”, and “genre name” are set. Here, “program name” and “genre name” are data acquired from program data acquired from the program guide and recorded together with image data.
The search items other than “recording date” are set according to the selected content. Therefore, the user can set whether or not to set the setting item as a search condition by moving the cursor to each setting item via the cursor key group 305 and pressing the enter key 306. When set as a search condition, a check mark is added to a rectangular check box. For example, if the check mark of “recording time zone” is removed, those recorded in different time zones can be included in the search condition.

  On the other hand, the “recording date” can be set with a pull-down box. By selecting the inverted triangle mark at the right end, as shown in FIG. 15, the selection branches “Daily”, “Weekly”, “Monday to Friday”, “Month to Saturday”, and “Other” are displayed. One can be selected. FIG. 15 shows a state where “weekly” is selected.

The search condition window 430 is provided with an execution key 431 and a stop key 432 for executing a search. The user can extract contents that match the corresponding search condition by setting the search condition in the search condition window 430 and selecting the execution key 431.
When the execution key 431 is operated, the microcomputer 101 searches the content stored in the HDD 109 (step 605), and displays the search result display window 480 of FIG. 16 (step 607).

  In this search result display window 480, for example, a search result “6 programs found.” And a folder creation guidance “create new folder and register” are displayed. In addition, the search result display window 480 displays folder name designation items for folder creation. This designation item can be designated by each item or combination of “program name”, “date / time information”, and “genre name”. This designation item can be selected by the same operation as in FIG. 15 (step 607). In this embodiment, since “program name” is initially set, when the execution key 431 is operated, the microcomputer 101 creates a folder having the designated folder name and extracts the extracted content. Move to folder (step 609).

  Then, a folder creation completion display window 485 shown in FIG. 17 is displayed (step 611). In this completion display window 485, an OK button 486 is provided. When the OK button 486 is operated, the microcomputer 101 searches the HDD 109 for whether or not the reservation data that matches the created search condition is set (step 613). If the reservation data is set, the recorded program search screen 400 in which the folder shown in FIG. 20 is set is displayed (step 617).

  On the other hand, if no reservation data is set in step 613, the microcomputer 101 displays a search result “There is no recording reservation for these programs.” And “schedule recording so that it can be recorded every time. Do you want to register the recorded content in the folder? "Is displayed in the reservation guide window 490 to prompt the reservation recording (step 614).

  The reservation guide window 490 is provided with a “Yes” key 491 and a “No” key 492. The microcomputer 101 executes step 617 when the “NO” key 492 is operated, and displays the reservation confirmation window 495 of FIG. 19 when the “YES” key 491 is operated (step 615).

In the reservation confirmation window 495, reservation data that satisfies the search condition is displayed. Since this reservation confirmation window 495 is provided with a “Reserve” key 496 and a “Cancel” key 497, the microcomputer 101 executes Step 617 when the “Cancel” key 497 is operated, When the “YES” key 496 is operated, the reservation data displayed in the reservation confirmation window 495 is set (step 616), and the recorded program search screen 400 in which the folder shown in FIG. 20 is set is displayed.
The recorded program search screen 400 shown in FIG. 20 displays the folder just created in the folder display area 401, and the content display area 402 displays a list of thumbnails of the content moved to the folder.

  As described above, in this embodiment, a recording reservation can be made by automatically setting a folder from the program table described in FIG. 3, or a recording can be made by creating a folder from the editing process described in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to easily create a folder and set a program reservation associated with this folder.

In this embodiment, in addition to the two recording reservations, a recording reservation can be set by pressing a reservation button 309 provided on the remote controller 300 shown in FIG. Recording reservation can be set manually. When the reservation button 309 is operated, the microcomputer 101 displays the recording reservation screen 460 shown in FIG. 6, and when the continuous recording reservation is set, the operation is the same as when the content is selected in the program guide. Automatic folder creation and recording reservation can be performed. Here, the difference from the content selection in the program guide is that “program name” is blank, and “channel”, “date / time”, “day of the week”, “start time”, and “end time” can be set.
As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to make a recording reservation and create a folder associated therewith from various scenes with a simple operation.

Next, another embodiment of the recorded program search screen 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 23 are screen shot program search screen views according to other embodiments.
