These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a hardware for performing a V program scheduling method according to the present invention. The key input unit 110, the microcomputer 120, the memory 130, the OSD (On Screen Display) (Hereinafter abbreviated as OSD) driver 140 and a recording unit 150.

In the figure, the key input unit 110 includes a reservation key, a reservation completion key, and a selection key for reserving a desired broadcast program to be scheduled for recording, and when the corresponding key is input based on a user's operation signal, The microcomputer 120 provides the key signal to the microcomputer 120 and the microcomputer 120 transmits information on the reservation program based on the reservation key from the key input unit 110 (for example, Start time, broadcast end time, and the like) in the memory 130.

The microcomputer 120 may store the broadcast program information stored in the memory 130 when the broadcast time of the broadcast program set through the key input unit 110 is at the dawn time (for example, from 00:00 to 04:00) Generates a control signal for displaying the guidance message for the weekly reservation, generates a control signal for setting the broadcast week corresponding to the selection key signal provided through the key input unit 110 and storing it in the memory 130, And generates a control signal for recording the broadcast program.

The OSD driver 140 OSD-processes the guidance message for the weekly reservation stored in the memory 130 on the basis of the control signal for display from the microcomputer 120 and displays the OSD message on the display device, On the basis of a control signal for recording from the microcomputer 120, a tuner broadcasted through a tuner (not shown) is recorded.

A detailed description will be made of the operation procedure of the VISUAL broadcasting program weekly reservation method according to the present invention through hardware composed of the above-described components with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG.

First, a user reserves a desired broadcast program using a reservation key provided in the key input unit 110. At this time, the user can reserve a plurality of broadcast programs.

On the other hand, if the user pre-reserves all the desired broadcast programs and then operates the reservation completion key provided in the key input unit 110 (steps 210 and 220), the key input unit 110 transmits a reservation completion key signal corresponding to the reservation completion key to the microcomputer 120).

At this time, the microcomputer 120 transmits information about a plurality of broadcast programs reserved through the key input unit 110 (for example, a broadcast channel of a desired broadcast program, a broadcast week, a broadcast start time, a broadcast end time, If the broadcast week of the broadcast program is Monday through Friday, the broadcast time of the broadcast program is checked (step 240). If the broadcast time is less than the morning time (for example, 00:00 to 04:00) (Step 250).

As a result of the checking in step 240, if the broadcast time of the broadcast program is the morning time (00:00 to 04:00), the microcomputer 120 transmits a guidance message for weekly reservation stored in the memory 130 And a message for weekly reservation through the microcomputer 120 is OSD-processed through the OSD driving unit 140 based on a control signal for display from the microcomputer 120, Typically a television monitor) (step 260).

Then, when the user sees a guidance message for the weekly reservation displayed on the display device and selects a desired week using the selection key provided in the key input unit 110, the key input unit 110 selects the corresponding week The key signal is provided to the microcomputer 120 (step 270).

On the other hand, when the selection key signal provided from the key input unit 110 is 1, that is, the selected week is Monday through Friday, the microcomputer 120 sets a reservation week of the broadcast program reserved by the user from Monday to Friday The microcomputer 120 generates a control signal for storing the selected key signal (step 280), and if the selection key signal provided from the key input unit 110 is 2, that is, The reservation week of the reserved broadcast program is set from Tuesday to Saturday (step 290), and a control signal for storing it is generated.

Next, based on the control signal for storing from the microcomputer 120, the week of the broadcast program reserved through the key input unit 110 is set and stored in the memory 130 (step 295).

On the other hand, if the broadcast week is not reserved from Monday to Friday, the broadcast time of the broadcast program is not checked, and the process is performed in step (230) 295).

If it is determined in step 250 that the broadcast time of the broadcast program is not the morning time, a guidance message for the weekly reservation stored in the memory 120 is not displayed, and the broadcast week of the broadcast program starts from Monday And is set to the broadcast program on Friday (step 280).

On the other hand, the microcomputer 120 generates a control signal for recording the reserved broadcast program stored in the memory 130 at the start time of the corresponding program, to the recording unit 150, A broadcast program provided through a tuner (not shown) is recorded on the recording unit 150 based on a recording control signal from the recording unit 150.

As described above, when the broadcast week of the broadcast program scheduled to be recorded by the user is Monday through Friday, the broadcast time of the broadcast program is checked. If the broadcast time is the morning time (00:00 to 04:00) The OSD driver 140 receives a guidance message for weekly reservation stored in the memory 130 and generates a control signal for displaying the guidance message, and controls the OSD driver 140 based on a control signal for display from the microcomputer 120 And the week corresponding to the selection key signal through the key input unit 110 is set and stored in the memory 130. [

Therefore, by using the present invention, it is possible to reliably set the reservation week of the broadcast program, so that it is possible to accurately record a desired broadcast program broadcasted at dawn time.
