Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the setting operation of the video recording reservation on the user side and further to record a program with set reservation even when the broardcasting time on the broardcasting station side is revised by transmitting programs together with data for video recording with respect to respective programs stored on the broardcasting station side. CONSTITUTION:When the user reserves a requiring specific program, only by inputting and setting one requiring program code through the program code input device 13 of a VTR 12, the video recording reservation of the requiring program is performed and the VTR 12 is made a stand-by condition for video recording immediately. Then, when a radio wave transmitted from the broardcasting station 11 is caught and the starting code of a video recording requiring program reserved and set is received, the broadcasting data of the program after then is started to be recorded in the VTR 12. When the ending code from the broadcasting station 11 is received after the program is ended to transmit, the video recording of the VTR 12 is ended at the point of time. In such a case, when the broardcasting time of the broardcasting station 11 is revised, since the program code, as well is revised, the VTR 12 is not operated till the requiring program is broardcasted and video recording operation is performed following up the revised broardcasting time of the program.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a recording method for receiving and recording radio waves broadcasted on, for example, a television, and more specifically, reliably recording by changing a recording reservation time by following a program broadcast change time. A recording method that can be performed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally used recording devices (VT
The recording reservation of (R) is performed by sequentially inputting selection items such as a recording number, a date, a start time, an end time, a channel, etc. through a recording reservation input section equipped in the VTR, and thereby a specific program to be recorded is recorded. I had made a reservation.

[0003]

However, in such a recording reservation operation, since many input items are selected and input one by one, it is troublesome and troublesome, and an input error is likely to occur. The customer side had a problem that it could not follow the change of the broadcasting time on the broadcasting station side.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a recording method that simplifies the recording reservation setting operation on the side of the customer and that can record the reserved specific program even if the broadcasting time on the broadcasting station side is changed. And

[0005]

The present invention is a recording method for receiving a radio wave of a specific program transmitted from a broadcasting station and recording it in the VTR based on reservation setting data reserved for recording in the VTR. For each program broadcast transmitted from the broadcast station, a broadcast station side is provided with a program identification code transmitting means for transmitting a start code identifying the program start time and an end code identifying the program end time, and the reservation setting data. The VTR is provided with a recording means for recording the reserved program on the basis of receiving the start code and end code of the program transmitted from the program specific code transmitting means when recording the specific program based on Is characterized by.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when a user reserves a specific program desired by the user, a reservation corresponding to the start code and the end code of the program is set through the recording means of the VTR, and at the start of recording, the broadcast station Recording is started when the start code of the reserved program transmitted from the program specifying code transmitting means is received, and recording is terminated when the end code is received.

[0007]

As described above, by allowing the broadcasting station side to have recording data for each program and transmitting the data together with the program, on the customer side, the recording reservation operation is the code input operation of the program. Since it is only necessary to do this, the input operation at the time of setting the reservation is extremely simplified, the troublesome input operation for each program is unnecessary, the operation mistake at the time of input is surely eliminated, and the serviceability for the user side is surely improved. In particular, even if the broadcast time on the broadcast station side changes, the VTR does not operate until the desired program is aired, so recording errors do not occur, and it is possible to ensure that the changed broadcast time is followed. Can be recorded.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The drawing shows a recording method for recording broadcast data of a program transmitted from a television broadcasting station on a VTR. In FIG. 1, this recording method is a program specific code transmitting device for recording provided on the television broadcasting station 11 side, It comprises a program code input device 13 provided on the customer's VTR 12 side.

The above-described program identification code transmission device provided on the side of the television broadcasting station 11 provides a start code for identifying the start time of the program and an end code for identifying the end time of the program for each broadcast of the program. And the end of the transmission, and each of these codes can be easily transmitted only by adding it to the transmission radio wave of normal broadcast data.

On the other hand, the program code input device 13 provided on the VTR 12 side inputs into the VTR 12 a program code which reserves and specifies a program desired to be recorded by the customer. By inputting and setting the code number via the remote controller or the input operation unit of the VTR main body, the program reservation desired by the customer is made. In addition, it is also possible to input and set a desired program from the surface of a barcode printed in a magazine or the like by using a barcode device.

When a recording reservation is made, this VTR1
Based on the program code input and set to 2, the radio wave of the reserved program transmitted from the television broadcasting station 11 is received and the VTR is received.
Record to 12.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a control circuit on the VTR side, in which the CPU 21 controls each circuit device according to a program stored in the ROM 22 and the control data is stored in the RAM 2
It is readably stored in step 3. The receiving unit 24 receives the broadcast data of the image and sound transmitted from the television broadcasting station 11, and also receives the program code of the transmitted start code and end code of each program. The code collating unit 25 collates the program code received by the receiving unit 24 with the program code reserved and set in the VTR 12, and when the collation result matches, the CPU 21 controls to record the broadcast data of the program. .. The recording processing unit 26 records the reserved broadcast data on the video tape based on the control signal of the CPU 21. The reproduction processing unit 27 causes the television 28 to broadcast and output the broadcast data recorded on the video tape based on the control signal of the CPU 21.

The processing operation of the recording method thus configured will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Now, when a user reserves a desired specific program, the user can input and set only one desired program code via the program code input device 13 of the VTR 12 to complete the recording reservation of the desired program, and the VTR 12 immediately A recording standby state is set (steps n1 to n2). When the radio wave transmitted from the television broadcasting station 11 is captured and the start code of the recording-desired program reserved is received, the broadcast data of the program is thereafter recorded on the VTR 12 (steps n3 to n4).
When the end code is received from the television broadcasting station 11 after the end of broadcasting, the recording operation of the VTR 12 ends at that point (steps n5 to n6).

Further, in this case, when the broadcast time on the side of the television broadcasting station 11 is changed, the program code is also changed accordingly. Therefore, the VTR 12 does not operate until the desired program is broadcast, and the changed program is displayed. Recording operation follows the broadcast time of. Therefore, recording can be performed according to the reservation, and reliable and stable recording processing without recording errors can be executed.

As described above, the television broadcasting station side transmits each program with a program code for recording,
On the customer side, the recording reservation operation can be done only by entering the code of the program, so the input operation at the time of this reservation setting is extremely simple, and many input operations for each program are not required Will certainly be eliminated, and the serviceability to the customer side will be surely improved. Especially, even if the broadcast time on the TV station side changes, the VTR does not operate until the desired program is aired, so recording errors do not occur and it is possible to ensure that the changed program air time is followed. Can be recorded on.

In the correspondence between the present invention and the configuration of the above-mentioned one embodiment, the broadcasting station and the program specifying code transmitting means of the present invention correspond to the television broadcasting station 11 side of the embodiment, and the same shall apply hereinafter. Corresponds to the VTR 12, and the recording means corresponds to the program code input device 13 and the CPU 21, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.
