Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電子番組表の形態で送信される番組情報を利用して、タイマー録画を実行する番組信号記録装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
番組の開始終了日時、放送チャンネルやその他の関連情報より成る番組情報を画面表示させ、画面上で録画したい番組を選択することによりタイマー録画予約を行うEPG(Electric Program Guide)システム対応の番組信号記録再生装置が普及しつつある。そして、このようなEPGシステム対応の番組信号記録再生装置の中でも、番組信号を記録再生する記録再生部にハードディスクを用いた番組信号記録再生装置では、毎週所定の曜日の同一時間帯に、同一チャンネルで放送される番組を繰り返し上書き録画する繰り返し録画機能を備えたものがある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、このような繰り返し録画機能を利用して、ドラマのような所定回数だけ放送される番組の録画を行った場合、ドラマの最終回が終了しているにも拘らず、その時間帯に放送される他の番組をその後も繰り返し録画し続けてしまうといった問題があった。つまり不要な番組を録画してしまうおそれがあった。
【0004】
また、ドラマの最終回は、通常放送分よりも放送時間が延長される場合があるが、これまでの番組信号記録再生装置では、通常放送の時間帯部分のみを録画して延長部分を録画しなかったため、ドラマのラストシーンを録画できない場合がるといった問題があった。また、ドラマの初回放送分も放送時間が延長される場合があり、このような場合には、2回目からの放送分を適切に記録することができないといった問題があった。更に、EPGシステムを利用しているにも拘らず新番組が始まっていることに気づかず、録画の機会を逃してしまうおそれがあった。
【0005】
本願発明は、これらの問題点に鑑みなされたものであり、EPGシステムを積極的に利用することにより番組信号記録装置の使い勝手を向上させると共に、より確実に番組を録画することのできる番組信号記録装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
以上の課題を解決するために、本発明に係る番組信号記録装置は、
毎週又は毎日同一時間帯に、同一チャンネルで放送される複数の番組を繰り返しタイマー録画させる番組信号記録装置であり、
前記放送される複数の番組に係る映像音声情報及び番組情報を受信する受信部(1)と、
前記複数の番組を繰り返し録画すべく生成した録画予約情報を保持する録画予約情報保持部(5)と、
前記受信部で受信した映像音声情報を記録媒体に記録する記録部(2)とを備え、
前記受信部で受信した番組情報に基づき、繰り返し録画すべく番組が最終回であるか否かを判別し、最終回であると判別された際には、前記受信部で受信した番組情報により新たに生成した録画予約情報に基づき番組の録画を行うようにしたことを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
また、本発明に係る番組信号記録装置は、
毎週又は毎日同一時間帯に、同一チャンネルで放送される複数の番組を繰り返しタイマー録画させる番組信号記録装置であり、
前記放送される複数の番組に係る映像音声情報及び番組情報を受信する受信部(1)と、
前記複数の番組を繰り返し録画すべく生成した録画予約情報を保持する録画予約情報保持部(5)と、
前記受信部で受信した映像音声情報を記録媒体に記録する記録部(2)とを備え、
前記受信部で受信した番組情報に基づき、繰り返し録画すべく番組が新番組の第1回目放送分であるか否かを判別し、第1回目放送分であると判別された際には、第1回目放送分の映像音声情報を前記記録部で記録した後に、第2回目放送分の番組情報を検出し、検出された第2回目放送分の番組情報に基づき第2回目放送分以降の録画予約情報を生成して番組の録画を行うようにしたことを特徴とするものである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態につき、好ましい実施例により詳細に説明する。
図1は本発明の実施例に係る番組信号記録装置を説明するためのブロック図であり、1は電波又は有線の伝送路を介して伝送される放送信号を受信し、選局されたチャンネルの番組信号を出力すると共に、この放送信号に重畳して伝送される番組情報を受信して、これを出力する受信機、2は受信機1で受信した番組信号をハードディスクに記録し、これを再生する記録再生部である。
【0011】
また、3は受信機で受信した番組情報を抽出して出力する番組情報抽出部、4は装置内の各部と接続され、各部を制御する制御部、5はタイマー録画予約のための録画予約情報及び番組情報抽出部3で抽出した番組情報を蓄積する録画予約情報蓄積部、6はユーザの指示を入力するためのユーザインターフェイス(ユーザIF)、7は記録再生部2が出力する番組信号にオンスクリーン情報を重畳して出力したり、記録再生部2が出力する番組信号に代わって画面情報を出力するオンスクリーンディスプレイ(OSD)である。
【0012】
なお、記録再生部2は、ハードディスクに記録した番組の再生時には、再生した番組信号をオンスクリーンディスプレイ7に出力するが、その他の状態では、受信機1が出力する番組信号をそのままスルーでオンスクリーンディスプレイ7に出力する。
【0013】
以下、本発明の実施例に係る番組信号記録装置の動作について説明する。
まず、受信機1は、所定時間帯の放送信号に重畳して伝送される番組情報を、制御部4の指示に従い定期的に受信し、録画予約情報蓄積部5はこのようにして受信した最新の番組情報を保持する。
【0014】
なお、番組情報には、放送される各番組のタイトル、開始終了日時、放送チャンネル、概要等が含まれており、更に、番組の最終回を識別するための文字情報又はフラグ等の識別情報が含まれているものとする。また、この番組情報は、一週間先までの全放送番組に対して送信されており、本番組信号記録装置は、1日に数回程度の頻度で最新の番組情報を取得し、録画予約情報蓄積部5内の番組情報を更新するものとする。
【0015】
図2は、オンスクリーンディスプレイ7の作用により番組情報の一部を図示しないモニタ上に番組表形式で表示させた際の画面構成の一例を示す図である。例えば、ユーザがユーザインタフェイス6を介して番組表を表示させるよう指示を行うと、図2で示す如く番組表がモニタ上に表示され、ユーザは所望の番組をカーソル等で選択することにより番組のタイマー録画予約を行う。
【0016】
この時、ユーザが選択した番組のタイトル、開始終了日時、放送チャンネルが録画予約情報として録画予約情報蓄積部5内に別途蓄積されるが、ユーザは、この録画予約設定中に、繰り返し録画機能をオンにするかオフにするかを選択する。なお、繰り返し録画機能をオンにする場合には、例えば、月曜から金曜までの毎日、毎週水曜のみ等の曜日指定も同時に行う。そして、繰り返し録画機能のオン・オフ設定及び曜日指定の情報も録画予約情報の一部として録画予約情報蓄積部5内に蓄積される。
【0017】
ここで、ユーザが繰り返し録画機能をオフに設定した場合には、録画予約情報で設定された番組の録画完了後にこの録画予約情報が録画予約情報蓄積部5内から消去されるが、ユーザが繰り返し録画機能をオンに設定した場合には、後述の如く、最終回の放送分の録画を完了するまでは、この録画予約情報が録画予約情報蓄積部5内に保持され、この最終回の録画完了後に録画予約情報が録画予約情報蓄積部5内から消去される。
【0018】
タイマー録画予約された番組の録画は、制御部4が録画予約情報蓄積部5内に蓄積されている録画予約情報を参照しつつ、タイマー録画予約されている番組の開始日時になっているか否かを確認し、タイマー録画予約されている番組の開始時刻になると、受信機1及び記録再生部2を制御して、番組の録画を開始させ、タイマー予約番組の終了時刻になると、受信機1及び記録再生部2を制御して、番組の録画を終了させる。
【0019】
このようにして、録画予約情報に基づくタイマー録画動作が実行されるが、繰り返し録画機能をオンに設定した場合には、前述の番組情報の取得タイミングでタイマー録画予約されている番組が最終回であるか否かが確認され、最終回であれば、録画予約情報の生成消去が行われる。以下、繰り返し録画機能をオンに設定した際の録画予約情報の生成消去について図3を用いて説明する。
【0020】
まず、ある番組のタイマー録画予約を行い、繰り返し録画機能をオンに設定する(F101)。そして、新たに番組情報を取得する時刻になると(F102)、受信機1が動作状態になると共に、番組情報が番組情報抽出部3で抽出され、抽出された番組情報により録画予約情報蓄積部5内の番組情報が更新される(F103)。
【0021】
そして、タイマー録画予約された番組における最後の放送分の番組情報を抽出した番組情報の中で検索し(F104)、検索して得られた番組情報内に番組の最終回であることを示す識別情報が存在するかを確認する(F105)。つまり、月曜から金曜までの毎日同一時間帯に放送される番組を繰り返し録画機能をオン設定にしてタイマー録画予約し、各曜日に相当する5つの番組情報がある場合には、これら5回の放送分における最後の放送分の番組情報内に識別情報が存在するか否かを確認する。
【0022】
そして、この識別情報が存在しなれけば、録画予約情報を変更することなしにF102の処理に戻り、識別情報が存在する場合には、最終回の録画予約情報を別途生成する(F106)。つまり、取得した番組情報の最後の放送分が最終回の放送分であると識別された場合には、最後の放送分の番組情報に基づき、新たに録画予約情報を生成する。従って、放送時間が延長されている場合であっても番組全体を録画することができる。
【0023】
なお、新たに録画予約情報を生成すると、既に存在する録画予約情報と番組の録画時間が重複することになるが、このような場合には、時間的に後に生成された新たな録画予約情報に基づきタイマー録画動作が実行されるため、放送時間が延長されている場合であっても番組全体を録画することができる。そして、最終回の録画完了後に録画予約情報蓄積部5内に蓄積されている録画予約情報が消去されるため(F107)、その後誤って他の番組を録画してしまうことはない。
【0024】
次に、本発明の他の実施例に係る番組信号記録装置について説明する。なお、他の実施例に係る番組信号記録装置は、新番組が始まった際に、この新番組が始まったことをオンスクリーンディスプレイ7の作用によりユーザに伝えることを特徴としており、その構成は先に説明した実施例の構成と同一であるため、ここではその説明を省略する。
【0025】
以下、本発明の他の実施例に係る番組信号記録装置の動作について図4を用いて説明する。ここでは、番組情報に新番組を識別するための文字情報又はフラグ等の識別情報が含まれているものとする。
【0026】
まず、電源がオンの状態で新たに番組情報を取得する時刻になると(F202)、受信機1が動作状態になると共に番組情報が番組情報抽出部3で抽出され、抽出された番組情報により録画予約情報蓄積部5内の番組情報が更新される(F203)。
【0027】
そして、更新された番組情報内で新番組であることを示す識別情報を検索し(F204)、この識別情報が検出されなければF202の処理に戻る一方、この識別情報が検出されたら、識別情報が検出された番組情報のみを抽出し、その番組のタイトルをオンスクリーンディスプレイ7の作用によりモニタで一覧表示させる(F205、F206)。
【0028】
この時、ユーザは一覧表示される番組タイトルに基づき番組を選択し、その番組の概要を確認することが可能であり、例えば、カーソルで番組を選択することにより番組情報の一部である番組の概要が表示される。そして、抽出した番組のタイマー録画予約を行う必要がなければ、キャンセルキー等を入力することによりF202の処理に戻り、タイマー録画予約を行うのであれば、録画設定キー等を入力することにより、選択された番組の録画予約情報を生成する(F208)。
【0029】
以上の如く、他の実施例に係る番組信号記録装置は、新番組が始まった際に、この新番組の番組タイトルを一覧表示し、この一覧表からタイマー録画予約手続きを行うことができるため、新番組が始まったことに気づかず、録画の機会を逃してしまうといった事態を防止できるばかりでなく、簡単な手続きで新番組のタイマー録画予約を行うことができる。
【0030】
また、新番組の第1回目の放送分のみの時間が延長され、第2回目の放送分以降は通常の放送時間で放送される場合、第1回目の放送分は、当初設定した番組の開始終了日時に基づきタイマー録画を実行し、第2回目以降の放送分は、第1回目放送分の録画完了以降に次回の放送分の番組情報を抽出し、この番組情報に基づき録画予約情報を生成すれば良い。
【0031】
その際、当初設定した録画予約情報には、月曜から金曜までの毎日、毎週水曜のみ等の繰り返しパターンを示す情報が含まれているため、次回放送分の番組開始終了日時を特定することができ、この次回放送分の番組の番組情報を抽出し、更に番組タイトルまでも照合した上で、録画予約情報を生成すれば、更に正確なタイマー録画予約を実行させることができる。
【0032】
なお、以上の説明では、番組情報が放送信号に重畳して伝送される場合の例を示したが、例えば番組情報は、放送信号とは別の経路であるインターネットや電話回線を通じて入手しても良く、このような場合には、放送信号を受信する受信機と番組情報を受信する受信機とを別々に設けても良いことは言うまでもない。
【0034】
【発明の効果】
また、請求項に係る発明によれば、繰り返し録画すべく番組が最終回であるか否かを判別し、最終回であると判別された際には、受信部で受信した番組情報により新たに生成した録画予約情報に基づき番組の録画を行うため、最終回の放送時間が延長されている場合であっても、この最終回を確実に録画することができるという効果を奏する。
【0035】
また、請求項に係る発明によれば、繰り返し録画すべく番組が新番組の第1回目放送分であるか否かを判別し、第1回目放送分であると判別された際には、第2回目放送分の番組情報により生成した録画予約情報に基づき第2回目放送分以降の録画を行うため、第1回目放送分の放送時間が延長され、第2回目以降に延長がない場合であっても、各回の放送分を適切に録画できるという効果を奏する。

[0002]
[Prior art]
Program signal recording compatible with the EPG (Electric Program Guide) system that schedules timer recording by displaying program information consisting of the program start and end date, broadcast channel and other related information on the screen, and selecting the program to be recorded on the screen Reproducing devices are becoming popular. Among such EPG system compatible program signal recording / reproducing apparatuses, a program signal recording / reproducing apparatus using a hard disk as a recording / reproducing unit for recording / reproducing program signals has the same channel every week on the same time zone on a predetermined day of the week. Some programs have a repetitive recording function that repeatedly overwrites and records programs broadcast on the Internet.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when a program that is broadcast a predetermined number of times, such as a drama, is recorded using such a repetitive recording function, the program is broadcast during that time period, even though the last episode of the drama has ended. There has been a problem that other programs that have been recorded continue to be recorded repeatedly. In other words, there was a risk of recording unnecessary programs.
[0004]
Also, in the last episode of the drama, the broadcast time may be extended as compared to the normal broadcast, but the conventional program signal recording / playback device records only the time zone part of the normal broadcast and records the extended part. Because there was not, there was a problem that the last scene of the drama could not be recorded. In addition, the broadcast time of the first broadcast of the drama may be extended. In such a case, there is a problem that the broadcast from the second time cannot be recorded appropriately. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the user may miss a recording opportunity without noticing that a new program has started despite using the EPG system.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and program signal recording capable of improving the usability of a program signal recording apparatus by actively using an EPG system and recording a program more reliably. An object is to provide an apparatus.

Based on the program information received by the receiving unit, it is determined whether or not the program is for the first broadcast of a new program to be repeatedly recorded. When it is determined that the program is for the first broadcast, After the video and audio information for the first broadcast is recorded by the recording unit, the program information for the second broadcast is detected, and the recording after the second broadcast is performed based on the detected program information for the second broadcast. This is characterized in that reservation information is generated and a program is recorded.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining a program signal recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a broadcast channel transmitted via a radio wave or a wired transmission path, A program signal is output, and the program information transmitted by being superimposed on the broadcast signal is received. The receiver 2 outputs the program information. The program signal received by the receiver 1 is recorded on the hard disk and reproduced. A recording / reproducing unit.
[0011]
Also, 3 is a program information extracting unit that extracts and outputs program information received by the receiver, 4 is connected to each unit in the apparatus, and is a control unit that controls each unit, and 5 is recording reservation information for timer recording reservation. And a recording reservation information accumulating unit for accumulating program information extracted by the program information extracting unit 3, 6 a user interface (user IF) for inputting user instructions, and 7 on a program signal output by the recording / reproducing unit 2. This is an on-screen display (OSD) for outputting screen information in place of the program signal output by the recording / reproducing unit 2 and superimposing the screen information.
[0012]
The recording / reproducing unit 2 outputs the reproduced program signal to the on-screen display 7 when reproducing the program recorded on the hard disk. In other states, the recording / reproducing unit 2 directly outputs the program signal output from the receiver 1 on-screen. Output to the display 7.
[0013]
The operation of the program signal recording apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
First, the receiver 1 periodically receives program information transmitted by being superimposed on a broadcast signal in a predetermined time period according to an instruction from the control unit 4, and the recording reservation information storage unit 5 receives the latest information received in this way. Holds program information.
[0014]
The program information includes the title of each program to be broadcast, start / end date and time, broadcast channel, outline, etc., and further includes identification information such as character information or a flag for identifying the final program. It shall be included. Further, this program information is transmitted for all broadcast programs up to one week ahead, and this program signal recording apparatus acquires the latest program information at a frequency of about several times a day, and recording reservation information It is assumed that the program information in the storage unit 5 is updated.
[0015]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a screen configuration when a part of program information is displayed in a program table format on a monitor (not shown) by the action of the on-screen display 7. For example, when the user gives an instruction to display the program guide via the user interface 6, the program guide is displayed on the monitor as shown in FIG. 2, and the user selects the desired program with a cursor or the like. Make a timer recording reservation.
[0016]
At this time, the title, start / end date / time, and broadcast channel of the program selected by the user are separately stored in the recording reservation information accumulating unit 5 as recording reservation information. Select whether to turn it on or off. When turning on the repetitive recording function, for example, the day of the week is designated at the same time, for example, every day from Monday to Friday, only every Wednesday. Information on ON / OFF setting of the repetitive recording function and day designation information are also stored in the recording reservation information storage unit 5 as part of the recording reservation information.
[0017]
When the user repeatedly turns off the recording function, the recording reservation information is deleted from the recording reservation information storage unit 5 after the recording of the program set in the recording reservation information is completed. When the recording function is set to ON, as described later, this recording reservation information is held in the recording reservation information storage unit 5 until the recording of the last broadcast is completed, and this final recording is completed. Later, the recording reservation information is deleted from the recording reservation information storage unit 5.
[0018]
Whether the recording of the program reserved for timer recording is the start date / time of the program reserved for timer recording while the control unit 4 refers to the recording reservation information stored in the recording reservation information storage unit 5. When the start time of the program reserved for timer recording is reached, the receiver 1 and the recording / playback unit 2 are controlled to start recording the program. When the end time of the timer reserved program is reached, the receiver 1 and The recording / playback unit 2 is controlled to end the recording of the program.
[0019]
In this way, the timer recording operation based on the recording reservation information is executed. However, if the repetitive recording function is set to ON, the program reserved for timer recording at the above-described program information acquisition timing is the last time. It is confirmed whether or not there is, and if it is the last time, the recording reservation information is generated and deleted. Hereinafter, generation / deletion of recording reservation information when the repetitive recording function is set to ON will be described with reference to FIG.
[0020]
First, a timer recording reservation is made for a certain program, and the repeated recording function is set to ON (F101). When it is time to newly acquire program information (F102), the receiver 1 enters an operating state, and program information is extracted by the program information extraction unit 3, and the recording reservation information storage unit 5 is extracted by the extracted program information. The program information is updated (F103).
[0021]
Then, the program information for the last broadcast in the program reserved for timer recording is searched in the extracted program information (F104), and the program information obtained by the search is identified as the last program. It is confirmed whether information exists (F105). In other words, if a program that is broadcast every day from Monday to Friday is repeatedly set for timer recording with the recording function turned on, and there are five program information corresponding to each day, these five broadcasts It is confirmed whether or not the identification information exists in the program information of the last broadcast for the minute.
[0022]
If the identification information does not exist, the process returns to F102 without changing the recording reservation information. If the identification information exists, the final recording reservation information is separately generated (F106). That is, when the last broadcast of the acquired program information is identified as the last broadcast, new recording reservation information is generated based on the last broadcast program information. Therefore, the entire program can be recorded even when the broadcast time is extended.
[0023]
Note that when new recording reservation information is generated, the existing recording reservation information and the recording time of the program overlap, but in such a case, the new recording reservation information generated later in time Since the timer recording operation is executed based on this, the entire program can be recorded even when the broadcast time is extended. Then, the recording reservation information stored in the recording reservation information storage unit 5 is deleted after completion of the final recording (F107), so that no other program is recorded by mistake thereafter.
[0024]
Next, a program signal recording apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the program signal recording apparatus according to another embodiment is characterized in that when a new program starts, the on-screen display 7 informs the user that the new program has started, and its configuration is as follows. Since this is the same as the configuration of the embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted here.
[0025]
The operation of the program signal recording apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Here, it is assumed that the program information includes identification information such as character information or a flag for identifying the new program.
[0026]
First, when it is time to newly acquire program information while the power is on (F202), the receiver 1 enters an operating state, and program information is extracted by the program information extraction unit 3, and recording is performed using the extracted program information. The program information in the reservation information storage unit 5 is updated (F203).
[0027]
Then, identification information indicating that it is a new program is searched for in the updated program information (F204). If this identification information is not detected, the process returns to F202. On the other hand, if this identification information is detected, the identification information Only the program information in which is detected is extracted, and the titles of the programs are displayed as a list on the monitor by the action of the on-screen display 7 (F205, F206).
[0028]
At this time, the user can select a program based on the program title displayed in a list, and can confirm the outline of the program. For example, by selecting a program with a cursor, the user can select a program that is a part of program information. A summary is displayed. If it is not necessary to make a timer recording reservation for the extracted program, the process returns to F202 by inputting a cancel key or the like. If a timer recording reservation is made, the selection is made by inputting a recording setting key or the like. The recording reservation information of the program thus created is generated (F208).
[0029]
As described above, the program signal recording apparatus according to another embodiment can display a list of program titles of this new program when a new program starts, and can perform timer recording reservation procedures from this list. Not only does it prevent the user from noticing that the new program has started and missed the opportunity to record, but also can make a timer recording reservation for the new program with a simple procedure.
[0030]
In addition, when only the first broadcast of the new program is extended, and after the second broadcast is broadcast in the normal broadcast time, the first broadcast is the start of the initially set program Timer recording is performed based on the end date and time. For the second and subsequent broadcasts, program information for the next broadcast is extracted after the completion of recording for the first broadcast, and recording reservation information is generated based on this program information. Just do it.
[0031]
At that time, the initially set recording reservation information includes information indicating a repetitive pattern such as every day from Monday to Friday, only every Wednesday, etc., so the program start / end date and time for the next broadcast can be specified. If the program reservation information is generated after extracting the program information of the program for the next broadcast and further checking the program title, the timer recording reservation can be executed more accurately.
[0032]
In the above description, an example in which program information is transmitted by being superimposed on a broadcast signal has been shown. However, for example, program information can be obtained through the Internet or a telephone line, which is a different route from the broadcast signal. Of course, in such a case, it goes without saying that a receiver for receiving broadcast signals and a receiver for receiving program information may be provided separately.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is determined whether or not the program is the last time to be repeatedly recorded. When it is determined that the program is the last time, the program information received by the receiving unit is updated. Since the program is recorded on the basis of the recording reservation information generated at the same time, even when the last broadcast time is extended, the last time can be recorded reliably.
[0035]
According to the invention of claim 2 , it is determined whether or not the program is for the first broadcast of the new program to be repeatedly recorded, and when it is determined that the program is for the first broadcast, Since the recording after the second broadcast is performed based on the recording reservation information generated from the program information for the second broadcast, the broadcast time for the first broadcast is extended and there is no extension after the second broadcast. Even if it exists, there exists an effect that each broadcast part can be recorded appropriately.
