Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the operation of an operator and to shorten processing time by executing program extension processing with one command processing. CONSTITUTION:Out of program sending control data D1-D6, D2-D5 are data to be shifted. After the command processing is executed, the data D2-D5 are shifted for 5 minutes and made into data D2a-D5a, and extending program Am-nn data are inserted into the period from 20 deg.05'00'' to 20 deg.10'00''. However, since control data for 20 deg.10'00'' do not exist in the data to be inserted, the control data for this time become the data D2a obtained by shifting the program sending control data D2 for 5 minutes. Thus, the operation of the operator can be simplified, and the processing time can be shortened.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a program extension processing method, and particularly to a program extension processing method in a television broadcast automatic program control device when a baseball broadcast or the like is extended and the next program and subsequent programs are postponed. Regarding processing method.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional program extension processing method, after it has been decided to extend the program, the operator first changes the control start time of the first program using a time shift command, and then changes the time vacated by the shift. The process of inserting the control data r data transfer command was performed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional program extension processing method described above involves one process called extension processing.
There is a drawback in that an operator needs to perform two command processes, time shift and data transfer, in order to perform one process.

Additionally, each of these command processes is a separate task, so when modifying or creating a new product due to changes in specifications, etc., there is a drawback that two tasks must be modified and created. .

[Means to solve the problem]

The program extension processing method of the present invention includes a memory for storing regular program transmission control data and a plurality of program extension control data for a predetermined period, a keyboard, and a CRT.
and a time device, the control time included in the program transmission control data sequentially read from the memory is checked against the time of the time device, and the external device is controlled at the required time of P9I, and the keyboard and C button are controlled as necessary. 1. In the program extension processing method in a television broadcasting automatic program control device comprising a CPU that corrects and adds the program transmission control data and program extension control data using a first step of specifying control data using a number from the keyboard and displaying it on the CkLT; and a start time, muntin time, and shift time of a period in which the program transmission control data should be shifted in order to extend the program. A second step of specifying from the keyboard, and shifting the program transmission control data for the period specified in the second step by a specified shift time and inserting the program extension control data specified in the first step. and a third step.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, the television broadcasting automatic program control device to which the present invention is applied is configured such that C)'(Jl), one day's worth of regular program transmission control data, and a mantissa extension program or replacement program. a memory 2 for storing control data; and a memory 2 for storing control data.
A keyboard 3 and a CRT 4 for modifying and adding data stored in the computer, a time device 5 for checking the time, an external device 6 to be controlled, and a keyboard 3. C-T4. The time device 5 is configured to include an input/output interface 7 for connecting the time device 5 to the CPU 1.

If there is no program extension or program replacement, CPU1 will use memory 2.
The program transmission control data is sequentially read from the program transmission control data, and when the control time included in the read program transmission control data matches the time of the time device 5, the external equipment 6 is controlled according to the program transmission control data.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention carried out by the television broadcast automatic program control apparatus shown in FIG. Note that this flowchart includes not only the flow of program extension processing but also the flow of program replacement processing that does not involve program extension.

First, it is determined whether the regular program transmission control data, which asks whether the program is to be extended, is to be replaced with another program data (step S1).

When performing replacement, the program to be replaced is entered by number from the keyboard 3 (step 82) and displayed on the CRT 4 (step 83). Next, input the start time and end time of the period in which the regular program transmission data should be shifted for program extension, or the period of the program to be replaced without program extension, step 84. S5), it is determined whether the program replacement is due to program extension processing (Statour 86). In the case of program extension processing, the shift time and interval of the period to be shifted are input (Statour 87). When the specification input of all necessary items is completed, the program transmission control data is replaced and shifted for that purpose and registered (step sB), and from then on, the external device 6 is controlled according to the registered new program transmission control data. .

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an example of program extension processing according to this embodiment.

The extended program to be replaced in order to extend the program is Am-nn), and the regular program from 20:05:00 to 20:45:00 seconds is shifted 5 minutes later, and the 2nd program that is vacant during this shift is
An extension program Am-nn is included for 5 minutes from 0:05:00 to 20:10:00. Steps 82, 84 in FIG. C after each data input in S5 and S7
The display of RT4 becomes K as shown in FIG. 3(a). FIG. 3(b) shows program transmission control data (indicated by white circles) and extension program Am-nn data (indicated by white circles) before execution of this command process.
(Illustrated with a black circle). Program transmission control data D
Of 1 to D6, D2 to D5 are the data to be shifted. After command processing is executed, data D2 to D5 are shifted for 5 minutes to become data D2a to D5a (Fig. 3<CI
), extension program Am-nn data is inserted in the period from 20:05:00 seconds to 20:10:00 seconds. However, since the inserted data does not include control data for 20:10 OO seconds, the control data for this time is data L) 2a obtained by shifting the program transmission control data D2 by 5 minutes.

In addition, in preparation for cancellation in the middle of command processing,
The program transmission control data D2 to D5 are temporarily saved as save data until the processing is completed.

Since data D1 and L)6 are outside the period to be shifted,
It remains unchanged after command processing.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an example of program replacement without program extension according to this embodiment.

The regular program from 18:30 OO seconds to 21:00:00 is replaced with program Al-02 B.

Since no shift is performed, C
) LT4 display shift time specification field (S) LIFT.

M) will be blank. Among the program sending side control data IJ11 to D16 (indicated by white circles) before command processing shown in FIG. 4(b), data L)12 to L from 18:30:00 to 21:00:00 ) 15 is replaced with replacement program At 02 data (indicated by a black circle),
The program transmission control data after command processing becomes as shown in FIG. 4(C). In this case as well, the data to be replaced D1
2 to D15 are temporarily saved as save data.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the effect of simplifying the operator's operation and shortening the processing time by performing the program extension process with one command process, and also has the effect of consolidating the program extension process into one task. Because it absorbs the information, it has the effect of making it easier to create new software or modify it.
