Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the setting operation for reservation content by reading a code corresponding to a program reservation content, processing the code into the reservation content, displaying the reserved content and storing the result into a storage means via a program reservation control means at reservation setting. CONSTITUTION:A code 8 corresponding to the reserved content is read by an optical reader 9. An output of the reader 9 is received by a reception section 11 of a VTR main body 100 via a transmission section 10. The input of the reception section 11 is sent to a code processing circuit 12, where the code is processed into the reserved content, which is displayed on a display section 2 via a microcomputer 1. A reservation setting personnel operates a reservation switch 13 of the remote controller 200, when the content displayed on the display section 2 is correct, and stores the reserved content into the microcomputer 1. Thus, the setting of the program reservation is simplified and the reservation job is quickened.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a recording/playback device (hereinafter referred to as
(referred to as VTR).

[Prior Art] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of a part related to program reservations in a conventional VTR of this type. The microphone 70 has a memory function, and the computer (2) is a display unit for displaying the current time and reservation details when setting a reservation. (3) to (7) are switches for setting reservation details, that is, (3) is a reservation setting switch, and (4)
) is a reservation number setting switch, (5) is a reservation day of the week setting switch, (6) is a reservation time setting switch, and (7) is a reservation channel setting switch.

Next, a method for setting a program reservation will be explained. Set the reservation setting switch (3) to the reservation start time setting position, and while checking the contents displayed on the display section [2], set the reservation number, reservation day, reservation time, and reservation channel setting switches (4) to (7). ) to set the reservation details. Next, set the reservation setting switch (3) to the reservation end time setting position and operate the reservation time setting switch (6) to set the reservation end time.
If you set only the end time and then set the reservation setting switch (3) to normal saturation, the reservation details will be displayed on the microcomputer (1).
).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional VTRs of this type are structured so that the reservation contents are divided into sections and set using dedicated setting switches for each section as described above, so there are a large number of operation sections. The number of operations will also increase. Therefore, it is necessary to be familiar with the setting method, and if you are not used to it, there are problems such as it takes time to set the program reservation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a VTR that allows program reservations to be made with simple operations.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The VTR according to the present invention reads a code corresponding to the program reservation content, processes it into the reservation content, displays the reservation content, and controls the program reservation control means when setting the reservation. The information is recorded in the storage means via the computer.

[Function] In this invention, when setting a program reservation, if the reservation contents are coded, the code is automatically read and set as the reservation contents, so the operation for setting the reservation contents is simplified. .

[Embodiments of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a portion related to program reservation of a VTR according to the present invention.

As is clear from the figure, the VTR of the present invention is provided with a reading means (9) for reading a reservation content code (8) that combines program reservation contents into one, and the output of the reading means is sent to a code processing means (12). This reservation content is displayed on the display means (2) via the program reservation control means (1b), and when the reservation is set by turning on the reservation switch (13), the reservation contents are processed into the reservation contents by the program reservation control means (1b). 1b
) so as to be stored in the storage means (la).

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the recording and reproducing apparatus.

In Figure 2, the VTR in this example is the VTR main body (100
), and a remote controller (200) for remotely controlling the VTR main body (100). (
8) is a code that combines the contents of the program reservation, ie, the reservation date, reservation start time, reservation end time, reservation channel, etc. (3) is a code reading means, for example, a device that optically reads the code (8), and the VTR body (
(7) A remote controller (200) is provided for remotely controlling the remote controller (100). (10) is a transmitter that wirelessly transmits the content read by the reading device (8) to the VTR main body (100);
) is a receiving section that receives the signal sent from the transmitting section (lO). (12) is a code processing circuit that processes the signal received by the receiving section (11) and sends reservation details to the microcomputer (1) that constitutes the storage means (la) and program reservation control means (tb) in FIG. It is. (1
3) Write the reservation details on the microcomputer (1) tα
This is a reservation switch for

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. A code (8) corresponding to the reservation content is read by an optical reader (8). This reading bag'j! The output of i(!3) is sent to the transmitter (
10) on the side of the VTR body (100).
) is received. The output of the receiving section (11) is sent to the code processing circuit (12) and processed into the reservation contents, and the reservation contents are displayed on the display section (2) through the microcomputer (1). If the information displayed on the display section (2) is correct, the reservation setter presses the remote controller (200).
Operate the reservation switch (13) on the side to store the reservation details in the microcomputer (1).

In the above embodiment, the optical reading device (8) was attached to the remote controller (200).
This optical reading device (8) may be attached to the VTR body (100), and the reading device (9) is not limited to an optical device, but may be a magnetic device, for example. You can.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the reservation code corresponding to the program reservation contents is read by the reading means, the reservation contents processed by the code processing means are set by the program reservation control means, and the setting contents are set by the program reservation control means. Since the information is stored in the storage means by turning on the reservation switch, it is easy to set up a program reservation, and even an inexperienced person can make a reservation quickly.
