Description

  The present invention records a program such as a television broadcast on a built-in storage unit such as a hard disk (hereinafter referred to as an HDD), a removable recording medium such as a DVD or a flash memory, and partially deletes or edits the program data. The present invention relates to a memory editing device.

  In recent years, in program data storage / editing apparatuses such as HDD recorders, the capacity of built-in storage units such as HDDs and recording media such as DVDs has increased, so that a large amount of digital images (programs, etc.) can be recorded and stored. However, due to the limited capacity, it is not possible to record as much as possible. In order to record as many programs as possible, or to copy many programs onto a removable recording medium such as a DVD, it is necessary to delete unnecessary portions of the programs to reduce the recording capacity. When scheduled recording is performed using EPG (Electrical Program Guide), commercials (hereinafter referred to as CM) are recorded for several minutes at the beginning and end of some programs, and the same opening and ending are recorded every time. ing. When this commercial part, opening, and ending are to be deleted, it is very time-consuming to edit and delete each program.

As a means for solving this problem, a conventional technique (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) that simply deletes a video portion that is a certain time later than the recording end position to delete the commercial at the end portion, or a plurality of moving image data. As a method for editing (program), a conventional technique (see Patent Document 2, for example) in which moving image data is arranged in time series and a plurality of programs are simultaneously set for each editing position, and the opening and ending of each program and CM are detected. In addition, there is a conventional technique (for example, see Patent Document 3) in which an unnecessary portion is not dubbed on a DVD or the like.
JP-A-2005-348128 JP 2006-86634 A JP 2006-229565 A

  However, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-34128), it is possible to easily delete a commercial at the end, but it is not possible to edit and delete a series of series programs and the like collectively. There was a problem that the same editing work had to be performed for each program.

  In the prior art described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-86634), the program data of the continuous program is displayed in time series, the editing scene is detected, the editing portion of each program is set, and necessary. Although scenes and unnecessary scenes are set, there is a problem that the operation for setting the editing part is complicated and troublesome.

  In the prior art described in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-229565), the same opening and ending are detected each time by comparing two consecutive programs, and video and audio are simultaneously interrupted. Although a method for detecting CMs is introduced, there are cases where it cannot be detected, such as when the opening or ending is changed in the middle, or because it compares two programs, it takes time to detect There was a problem of this.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a program data storage / editing apparatus that can reduce the editing work of the user for the same series program by collectively editing unnecessary portions at the beginning and end of the same series program by a simple operation. The purpose is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the program data storage / editing apparatus according to the present invention, program data is received and stored as a recorded program in a storage means, and program data for editing the recorded program stored in the storage means A storage editing device for displaying a list of recorded programs stored in the storage means; and an editing target program to be edited with reference to the recorded program list displayed by the display control means. When selected, a search means for searching for a recorded program of the same series as the selected editing target program, and a batch part deletion instruction of the same series program for the editing target program, the editing target program The editing processing based on the batch partial deletion instruction is performed, and the recorded number of the same series as the editing target program searched by the searching means is And editing means for editing processing based on the collective partial deletion instruction against, and has a.

  According to the present invention, when there is a batch partial deletion instruction of the same series program for the editing target recorded program, the editing target program is subjected to the editing process based on the batch partial deletion instruction and the same series as the editing target program. Since the editing process based on the batch part deletion instruction is also performed on the recorded program, the editing process such as the deletion of the head position part and the tail part is performed with the editing target program as the representative program. The related series program is also edited in the same way, and editing operations such as partial deletion processing of the same series program can be performed by a single operation, and the user's editing work for the same series program can be reduced.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
Embodiment 1 FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a program data storage / editing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a program data storage / editing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 includes a tuner unit 1, an image data creation unit 2, an operation control unit 3, an input unit 4, an internal storage unit 5 such as an HDD or an internal memory, and the like. , A removable recording medium 6 such as a DVD or a memory, a recording / reproducing unit 7, a display unit 8 such as a display, and a display control unit 9 as display control means of the present invention. The operation control unit 3 includes a search unit 31 as a search unit according to the present invention and an edit unit 32 as an edit unit.

Next, the operation will be described.
First, in this program data storage / editing apparatus, the input unit 4 receives a control signal from a remote controller (hereinafter referred to as a remote controller), passes it to the operation control unit 3, and the operation control unit 3 controls each unit. The tuner unit 1 receives program data of a broadcast program, program title, broadcast date and time, and program additional data such as a program guide (EPG). The received program data and program additional data are decoded by the image data creation unit 2, and the recording / playback unit 7 records the decoded program data and program additional data in the internal storage unit 5 or the recording medium 6. Of course, the program additional data may be stored in a memory (not shown) of the operation control unit 3 or the like.

  Here, the program data which is the content of the decoded broadcast program itself is recorded in the built-in storage unit 5, but may be recorded in the recording medium 6. In this case, the recording medium 6 is preferably a rewritable recording medium such as a DVD-RAM. Thereby, the user can record desired program data in the built-in storage unit 5, and can extract a program to be edited by selecting a program by a user operation from the recorded programs.

  Therefore, the display control unit 9 displays various operation screens for the user to perform a program selection operation, a confirmation screen, a selection screen, and the like on the display unit 8 and allows the user to select them.

  Then, an editing target program to be edited is selected by the user through the input unit 4 with reference to a selection screen described later displayed on the display unit 8 by the display control unit 9, and the user gives an editing instruction such as partial deletion of the program. When input, the operation control unit 3 inputs the editing instruction, and the search unit 31 searches for a recorded program of the same series as the editing target program.

  Then, when the user gives an instruction to delete a part of the same series program for the program to be edited, the editing unit 32 performs an editing process on the program to be edited based on the instruction to delete the part of the batch. For the recorded program of the same series as the edited program to be edited, an operation is performed so as to perform the editing process based on the batch partial deletion instruction.

  In the present embodiment, as an editing process, partial deletion, which is a process for deleting unnecessary parts in program data, will be described as an example. By deleting the unnecessary part of the program data, the unnecessary part of the program data is erased from the built-in storage unit 5 or the recording medium 6, so that the capacity thereof is secured.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the case of performing partial deletion of a series program in the program data storage / editing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  When the user inputs a series program partial deletion instruction via the input unit 4, first, the operation control unit 3 receives the instruction and issues a selection screen display command for causing the display control unit 9 to display a list of recorded programs. The display control unit 9 accesses the built-in storage unit 5 and sorts the recorded programs recorded in the built-in storage unit 5 in order of recording date. For example, the display control unit 9 reads the latest 8 programs, for example, as shown in FIG. The recorded program list screen 300 is displayed on the display unit 8 (S210). Of course, the latest 8 programs on the recorded program list screen 300 are examples, and the latest 4 programs or 10 or more programs may be used.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a recorded program list screen 300 for searching for a program to be partially deleted displayed by the process of step S210.

  Here, in the recorded program list screen 300 shown in FIG. 3, the list-displayed programs as shown in FIG. 3 are selected by sequentially moving the cursor or displaying the programs older than 8 programs by page feed or the like. Is possible. In the recorded program list screen 300 of FIG. 3, a thumbnail image of a still image or a moving image and a title name associated therewith are displayed, and detailed information of the program is further displayed for an active program when the cursor is hit. be able to. The selection list display of the recorded programs can be switched not only in order of recording date but also in order of title name and genre in order to facilitate searching.

  Next, when the user moves the cursor to a program to be partially deleted on the recorded program list screen 300 shown in FIG. 3 and makes a selection decision (S220), the search unit 31 of the control unit 3 operates to perform the selection operation. The same series program having the same condition as the selected program is searched, and the result of searching all the programs is displayed on the same series program list screen 400 as shown in FIG. 4 (S230). Here, the same series program is a program whose conditions match the selected program, for example, a drama, an animation, a movie program, or the program content that changes every week or every day. Programs whose titles are substantially the same and have the same configuration, for example, the title names of recorded programs such as quiz programs, learning programs, and comedy programs are the same, or the recording start time, recording end time, and recording channel are the same. A program.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the same series program list screen 400 in which the same series program to be partially deleted is selected.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the same series program list screen 400 when, for example, the title “Yokohama Monogatari” is selected as the series program to be partially deleted.

  Here, in the same series program list screen 400 shown in FIG. 4, all the search condition candidate programs are displayed, so it may be possible that editing has already been performed up to the middle program (broadcast date). An edited mark such as “completed” is displayed for the edited program 410 that has been completed, and can be distinguished. Since the edited program 410 has already been edited, it may not be selected as a candidate program. With respect to a program selected as an editing candidate, the detailed contents can be confirmed by placing the cursor, and it is possible to exclude programs that do not require editing.

  In addition, the same series program list screen 400 shown in FIG. 4 includes a “partial deletion edit” button 420 for selecting partial deletion of the same series programs at once, and “ A “return” button 430 is provided.

  Therefore, when the user selects the “partial deletion edit” button 420 or the like on the same series program list screen 400 shown in FIG. 4, the display control unit 9 allows the user to set the deletion candidate part in FIG. 5 or FIG. An editing screen is displayed (S240).

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the editing screen 500 when deleting the first scene, and FIG. 6 shows an example of the editing screen 600 when deleting the last scene.

  The edit screens 500 and 600 shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are switched by tags of a “start scene delete” tag 510 and a “end scene delete” tag 520. If there is no need to edit the first scene, the “end scene deletion” tag 520 may be selected without switching anything and the editing screen may be switched.

  The editing screens 500 and 600 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are provided with the same series program display area 530 on the right side where program data such as the broadcast date and time of the list of recorded programs selected as the same series program is displayed. On the left side, an edit position image confirmation area 540 for determining or confirming the edit position from the image is displayed. Below that, a progress bar 550 in which the user moves the cursor or the like to specify the deletion range and an edited program confirmation area 560 for displaying a time counter and an edited program number are displayed.

  Here, the user uses the editing screen 500 for deleting and editing the first scene shown in FIG. 5 to play, search, frame-by-frame, pause, etc. the currently selected representative program (program 1 in this case). The editing position of the part to be deleted from the head position is set, and the editing unit 31 detects the set editing position. If there is no problem with the detected editing position, the user selects the “to here” button 570, and the editing unit 31 determines the set editing position. Thereby, the deletion candidate part in the start scene of the program 1 is determined from the recording start position to the editing position.

  Similarly, when editing the end scene of the program, if the “delete end scene” tag 520 is selected, the display control unit 9 switches to and displays the edit screen 600 for deleting the end scene as shown in FIG. 6, for example. . As in the case of the start scene of program 1, when the edit position in the end scene of program 1 is selected on the edit screen 600 for deleting the end scene as shown in FIG. The part going back to the editing position is set as a deletion candidate part in the last scene of program 1.

  Here, when the “delete end scene” tag 520 is selected, a still image (scene), etc., that is a specific time after the recording end position of the program 1 to be edited is displayed in the editing position image confirmation area 540. Anyway. Here, the specific time can be freely changed by the user at a preset time. That is, when no change is made by the user, an initial value, for example, a value set as 5 minutes is applied. From there, the last delete edit position is detected by playback, search, frame advance, pause, etc. If there is no problem with the detected editing position, the “From here” button 580 is selected to determine the editing position at the end, and the deletion candidate portion from the editing position to the end of recording is determined. In the program editing, it is not necessary to edit both the head position portion and the tail portion, and it is possible to edit only the head position portion or only the tail portion.

  When the editing position of partial deletion for the representative program (for example, program 1) is confirmed and the user presses the “apply to all programs” button 590, the editing unit 32 causes the representative program (for example, program 1) to ) Is applied to all programs selected as the same series program, and deletion candidate portions are collectively set (S250).

  Here, the editing unit 32 sets the application of the editing position to the series program based on the elapsed time information from the recording start position. This is because related programs such as series programs and continuous programs often start at approximately the same time each time and end at the same time. Thereby, according to this embodiment, the editing position determined in one program is applied to the same series program, so that the editing position of related programs such as a series program or a continuous program can be confirmed or set once in the representative program. This eliminates the need for editing from scratch, such as individually setting the editing position of related programs such as series programs and continuous programs related to the representative program.

  Here, when the user presses the “Apply to all programs” button 590, after setting the editing position of the deletion candidate for all the series programs, the user wants to correct the editing position for each individual program in the series program. By selecting the “next program” button 610, it is possible to proceed to the next series program such as the next program 2, program 3,..., And confirm or correct the editing position for each individual program in the series program. it can. In order to return to the previous processing, the “return” button 620 is selected, the “preview” button 630 is selected when the individual programs of the series program are previewed, and the “edit point” is selected when the edit point is moved. When the “Move” button 640 is selected and the advanced program is returned to the previous program, the “Previous program” button 650 is selected, and when the batch deletion process is performed, the “Delete execution” button 660 is selected. Become.

  Next, after setting the editing position of the deletion candidate for all the programs, the editing unit 32 displays a message for confirming whether there is a program whose editing position is to be corrected on the display unit 8 such as a display (S260). If there is a program whose editing position is to be corrected, the editing position of the next program 2 can be confirmed or corrected by selecting the “next program” button 610. When the edit screen is the “delete first scene” screen 500, the edit position of the start position can be confirmed or corrected. When the edit screen is the “delete last scene” screen 600, the end edit position can be confirmed or Corrections can be made.

  In order to move to the next program, the user selects the “next program” button 610, and when the user wants to return to the previous program, when the “previous program” button 650 is selected, the editing unit 32 displays the instruction. To switch to the next program or the previous program.

  Here, when the “preview” button 630 is selected, the display control unit 9 reproduces, for example, about 5 seconds before and after the editing position, and then enters a still image state at the editing position and returns to displaying a still image. When it is desired to change the editing position, the editing position is corrected by reproduction, slowing, etc., and the “from here” button 560 or “to here” button 570 is selected, and the editing unit 32 executes re-editing (S270). ). Here, if you want to check all the programs, you need to repeat this operation for each program. If you want to check the editing part of all the programs, it is troublesome to check each program manually. Therefore, it is possible to automatically execute the preview of the edited portion of each program.

  When the user selects the “execute deletion” button 660, the editing unit 32 deletes the editing position in which the unnecessary portion of all programs selected as the same series program at the editing position set above is set as one representative program. (S280).

  Thus, according to the first embodiment, when the user presses the “delete execution” button 660, the editing position is automatically set to the same series program as the first set representative program. It is possible to execute editing processing such as partial deletion all at once without performing confirmation and editing for a plurality of programs including predetermined conditions.

  In the process of S280, in order to prevent an erroneous operation, the “execute” or “cancel” confirmation screen for confirming whether or not the “execute deletion” button 660 is not executed immediately after selecting the “delete execution” button 660, or a confirmation message. A confirmation dialog box may be displayed. In addition, it is preferable to make a setting so that confirmation is always performed for a program whose recording time is extended due to sports extension or an enlarged program (30 minutes extension, etc.) such as the last episode. Such an expanded program is judged from the broadcast time of the program, that is, the recording time in the internal storage unit 5, the EPG information transmitted and received together with the program data, and the like. As a result, it is possible to prevent erroneous partial deletion in an enlarged program due to editing processing such as partial deletion collectively. If the user presses the “execute deletion” button 660 without confirmation, a warning message or the like may be displayed to prompt the user for confirmation and the partial deletion process may not be executed.

  As described above, according to the program data storage / editing apparatus of the first embodiment, the same series program stored in the built-in storage means 4 can be edited in part, for example, by partial deletion. Unnecessary portions at the beginning and end of each can be edited together, and the user's editing work on the series program can be reduced.

  In the same series program, when the recording time is longer than the other recording time, a process different from other programs is performed as an extended or expanded program. As for the sports extension, sports extension information indicating that the sports extension has been performed at the time of recording is included in the program additional data of the program data. For programs that are recorded longer than usual due to sports extension, the editing position is set according to the elapsed time from the recording start position to the editing position like other normal programs, but the beginning position or the end, or There is an extra recorded part in both. However, since the length of the program itself is the same as usual, the editing unit moves relatively, that is, the editing unit moves relative to the recording start position (recording start time) and recording end position (recording end time). 32, when the editing position of the head scene portion is moved, the editing position at the end is moved by the same amount as the movement amount, and the editing position is easily moved. To move the editing position, after setting the editing position on the editing screens 500 and 600 in FIG. 5 or 6, the “move editing position” button instead of the “here” button 570 and the “from here” button 580. When 640 is selected, the editing unit 32 receives the instruction and realizes relative movement of the recording start position (recording start time) and the recording end position (recording end time). This operation is invalid when editing is only at the beginning or end. Options that are invalid even if selected may not be selected.

  If it is determined that the program is longer than the normal recording time and is not a sport extended program, it is a special expanded program such as the final expanded program that is longer than the normal program. If it is determined that the program is a special enlarged program, the editing position of the first scene is set to the position of the elapsed time from the recording start position, but the editing position of the last scene is not set based on the elapsed time. It should be noted that the editing position of the end scene is set to a position retroactive to the time from the recording end point of the normal program to the end scene editing position.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the case where the batch portion of the same series program is deleted after the program is recorded has been described. In the second embodiment, the batch portion of the same series program is deleted during the reproduction of the program. . The configuration of the program data storage / editing apparatus of the second embodiment is the same as that of the program data storage / editing apparatus shown in FIG. 1. Therefore, referring to the program data storage / editing apparatus of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The operation of the second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when partial deletion of a series program is performed in the program data storage / editing apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  When playing back a recorded program, if there is an unnecessary part in the first scene of the program, the editing unit 32 sets the editing position to a position from the recording start position to the unnecessary part (S710). When the unnecessary position is detected during the reproduction operation, the editing position of the recording start position is set by pressing a “delete so far” key or the like on a remote controller (not shown). The editing position can be set during special playback such as playback, pause, slow playback, etc. Also, if you are playing and you have finished watching the main part of the program and do not need to watch it in the ending or CM afterwards, press the “Delete from here” key on the remote control during playback. Set the editing position at the end.

  When the above editing setting is performed, at the time of playback end or playback stop, the display control unit 9 displays a deletion candidate confirmation screen 800 for editing deletion candidates as shown in FIG. 8, for example (S720). .

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the deletion candidate confirmation screen 800 in the second embodiment.

  Here, when the “do not execute” button 840 is selected (S720 “No”), the set editing position is erased, and the partial deletion processing ends. Similarly, when the “execute later” button 830 is selected (S720 “No”), the set editing position is stored, and the editing position stored this time when the program is deleted and edited later is read out. It is.

  When the “immediate edit” button 820 is selected (S720 “Yes”), as shown in FIG. 9, two types of editing method options are available: an “edit only this program” button 850 and an “edit same series program” button 860. Is displayed.

  Then, when the “edit only this program” button 850 is selected (S730 “only this program”), an edit position confirmation screen is displayed, and if necessary, correction is performed (S790), and deletion is performed. Execution is performed (S780).

  On the other hand, when the “edit the same series program” button 860 is selected (S730 “same series program”), the program of the same series as the program that has been reproduced this time is searched, and in the case of the first embodiment Similarly to the above, the edited program list screen 400 as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed (S740). Here, there may be a case where editing has already been performed up to an intermediate program (broadcast date), so an edited mark is displayed for a program that has been edited as in the first embodiment. Can be distinguished. Since the edited program has already been edited, it may not be selected as a candidate program. With respect to a program selected as an editing candidate, the detailed contents can be confirmed by placing the cursor, and it is possible to exclude programs that do not require editing.

  Next, when the partial deletion editing button 420 is selected, the editing position set during playback is applied to all editing candidate programs in the same series as the representative program, as in the case of the first embodiment, and the deletion candidate portion is selected. The editing screens 500 and 600 shown in FIG. 5 or 6 are displayed in the same manner as in the first embodiment (S750). The editing screens 500 and 600 shown in FIG. 5 or 6 are switched by a “delete first scene” tag 510 and a “delete last scene” tag 520. The application of the editing position is set by the elapsed time information from the recording start position.

  As in the first embodiment, when the “next program” button 610 is selected, the editing position of the next program 2 can be confirmed or corrected (S760). When the edit screen is “Delete first scene”, the edit position of the start position can be confirmed or corrected. When the edit screen is “Delete last scene”, the end edit position is checked or corrected. be able to. To move to the next program, select the “Next Program” button 610 further. To return to the previous program, select the “Previous Program” button 650 to move to the required program. Can do.

As in the first embodiment, the confirmation is performed by selecting the “preview” button 630, and after playback for 5 seconds before and after the editing position, the still image state at the editing position is entered and the display returns to the still image display. When it is desired to change the editing position, the editing position can be corrected by reproduction, slowing, etc., and the “from here” button 580 or the “to here” button 570 can be selected and re-edited (S770). If all programs are to be confirmed, the above operation is repeated for each program.
When it is desired to check the editing locations of all programs, it is troublesome to manually check the programs one by one, so that the preview of the editing locations of each program may be automatically executed.

  Then, as in the first embodiment, by selecting the “delete execution” button 660, unnecessary portions of all programs selected as the same series program at the set editing position can be deleted (S780). . As in the first embodiment, in order to prevent an erroneous operation, a confirmation screen for “execution” and “cancel” for confirming whether or not the “execute deletion” button 660 is actually executed, instead of executing it immediately after the “execute deletion” button 660 is selected. There may be. The “delete execution” button 660 can be executed without confirming or editing a program whose editing position is automatically set other than the representative program set first.

  As described above, according to the program data storage / editing apparatus of the second embodiment, the series program stored in the built-in storage means 4 can be collectively edited, such as partial deletion, as in the first embodiment. This makes it possible to edit the start position and the unnecessary part at the end of each series program in a simple operation, reducing the user's editing work on the series program, and deleting the deletion candidate part in the playback program during the playback operation. By setting the editing position, it is possible to perform partial deletion editing of the same series program as the reproduction program at once, and the user's editing work on the series program can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the program data partial deletion process has been described as an example of the same series program editing process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same series program editing process is actually the same. It is also possible to perform an editing process for creating a playlist or the like based on the image at the set editing position without partially deleting the series program.

It is a block diagram which shows the structural example of the program data storage edit apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence in the case of performing the partial deletion of a series program in the program data storage editing apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention.
