Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the reservation by reading a video recording reservation data corresponding to an identification number based on an identification number data sent from a video recording reservation device through a telephone line and sending the data for the reservation. CONSTITUTION:A video recording reservation data is sent to a telephone line 43a via a control section 41 and a transmission/reception section 43 and received by a transmission/reception section 23 of a video recording reservation device 2 through a telephone line network 3 and a telephone line 23a and given to a data conversion section 24 via a control section 21. A data conversion section 24 converts the video recording reservation data into a control data for video recording reservation specific to the video information recorder 1 and outputted to the recorder 1. The recorder 1 sets the video recording reservation based on the control data sent from the device 2. Thus, the input manipulation variable for video recording reservation is reduced and the possibility of erroneous reservation is precluded.

[Prior Art] In recent years, video information recording devices, especially video tape recorders (hereinafter referred to as V
It is abbreviated as TR. ) is widespread. Almost all home VTRs have a clock function added to them, and this clock function can be used to set the VCR when a certain time has been reached.
It has a built-in so-called timer recording function (recording reservation function) that automatically starts the recording operation after tuning the TR to a specific channel and cancels the recording operation at the specified time (or specified recording time length). .

[0005] VTRs that can be controlled by telephone have also been developed and put into use, but information such as recording start time, recording end time (or recording time length), recording channel number, etc. is not transmitted to the user through the telephone. Although it has the advantage of being able to add or change reservations while on the go, it does not reduce the amount of information that must be entered and set.

[0008] In addition, when using guidance input using voice information, although it is possible to provide guidance on the procedure, the amount of information that must be input does not change at all, so it is difficult for people who are familiar with the usage method to operate it. There were problems in that it was rather time consuming and complicated.
