Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a reservation timer device used for reserving a TV program to be recorded in a VTR (video tape recorder), and particularly to a VTR main body. Relates to a card-type reservation timer device in which a card-shaped device configured separately has a main reservation timer function.

<Outline of the Invention> The present invention is a card type reservation timer device configured separately from the VTR main body, and the reservation start time of the reservation content stored in the storage circuit by the coincidence detection circuit in the card type reservation timer device. By providing a buzzer output circuit that generates a buzzer sound when the current time posted on the clock is detected, the buzzer sound notifies the start of reservation execution, and the location of the card-type reservation timer device is notified. It is something that can be recognized.

<Prior Art> First, an outline of a card type reservation timer device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. In this drawing, a storage hole 5 for storing a card-type reservation timer device (hereinafter referred to as a reservation timer device) 2 is provided on the front surface of the VTR main body 1, and a light receiving portion 6 is provided at the innermost part of the storage hole 5. Is equipped with.
An input unit 3 for setting a start time, a recording time, a channel, and the like is provided on the upper surface of the reservation timer device 2, a display unit 4 for displaying the input data, and a light emitting unit 7 is provided at the tip. .

When making a reservation with this device, the reservation timer device 2 is taken out, as shown in FIG. 2, and the input unit 3 is operated while checking the display unit 4 to store the reservation data in the storage unit of the reservation timer device 2. , And then reserve timer device 2
When the data is stored in the storage hole 5 of the VTR main body 1, the reservation data in the storage section is automatically sent out as an optical signal from the light emitting section 7, and this optical signal is received by the light receiving section 6 and sent to the VTR main body 1 side. Get caught.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in such a card-type reservation timer device, it is not possible to confirm the start of reservation execution at a position distant from the VTR main body, and the card-type reservation timer device cannot be confirmed. There is a problem that you forget to store the above in the VTR main body, and fail to reserve recording.

<Means for Solving Problems> In the card-type reservation timer device according to the present invention, the reservation start time of the reservation content stored in the storage circuit by the coincidence detection circuit coincides with the current time posted on the clock. It is provided with a buzzer output circuit that generates a buzzer sound when detected.

<Operation> The card-type reservation timer device according to the present invention can notify the start of reservation execution by a buzzer sound and recognize the location of the card-type reservation timer device.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the card type reservation timer device of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1.
The same reference numerals are used and the description is omitted. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a circuit of the card-type reservation timer device 2.

First, in this circuit, the reservation content input by the user from the timer reservation setting unit 8 is temporarily sent to the storage circuit 10 and the key corresponding to the final operation in setting or modifying the reservation (input in FIG. 2 is entered. (Corresponding to section 3) is pressed, data indicating the end of reservation setting / correction is sent from the timer reservation setting section 8 to the buzzer output circuit 13 and is output from the buzzer 14 as a recognition sound (buzzer sound).

Next, the start time data stored in the storage circuit 10 is sent to the coincidence detection circuit 11 and compared with the current time of the clock 9 to detect coincidence. At this time, if the current time and the start time match, the reservation data is sent to the encoder 12 and at the same time, the data indicating the match detection is sent to the buzzer output circuit 13. The reservation data input to the encoder 12 is converted into a serial signal and then sent from the light emitting unit 7 to the light receiving unit 6 of the VTR main body 1 as an optical signal. (See FIG. 2) On the other hand, the data sent to the buzzer output circuit 13 is output from the buzzer 14 as an alarm sound (buzzer sound) for starting reservation execution.

Therefore, even if the reservation is set and the card type reservation timer device 2 is forgotten to be stored in the VTR main body, the reservation execution start output from the buzzer 14 of the card type reservation timer device 2 is started. From the source of the alarm sound, the user can recognize the location of the card-type reservation timer device 2 and store the card-type reservation timer device 2 in the VTR main body again.

In addition, when multiple reservations are set at the same start time,
The memory circuit 10 detects that multiple reservations have been set at the same start time, sends duplicate data to the match detection circuit 11, and the duplicate data sent from the match detection circuit 11 to the buzzer output circuit 13 is reserved. It is output from the buzzer 14 as an alarm sound (buzzer sound) indicating that execution is impossible.

The time signal of the clock 9 is also used as the time signal data in the coincidence detection circuit 11
It is sent to the buzzer output circuit 13 via and is output from the buzzer 14 as an alarm sound (buzzer sound) indicating a time signal.

<Effect of Device> As described above, in the card type timer device of the present invention, the coincidence detection circuit detects the coincidence between the reservation start time of the reservation content stored in the storage circuit and the current time measured by the clock. By providing a buzzer output circuit that generates a buzzer sound, the buzzer sound notifies the start of reserved execution of the main body device even when the user is away from the main body device, and the card from the buzzer sound source. It is possible to recognize the location of the type reservation timer device, and thus to prevent forgetting to store the card type reservation timer device in the main unit.
