An apparatus and method for displaying a start time and a title on a screen of a predetermined position.

A general video cassette recorder (hereinafter referred to as a VCR) requires a user to set a current time in order to reserve a television program, and to set a program start time, program end time, and broadcast channel for reserved recording.

Baro-K is a Korean-style reservation recording system (KBPS) that allows viewers to easily and accurately record programs on G-coded reservations more easily and accurately than currently available G-code reservations. You can easily search for a week's worth of program information on TV, and you can find various information such as the current time.

Also, when a broadcasting station transmits program-related information in packet units of 16 lines of VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval), viewers can search for program information and schedule recording with a simple remote control using VTR equipped with direct-K function. .

Figure 1 shows packet 7 in the format of a typical Bar-K executable data.

In the format (packet 7) of FIG. 1, information about the title (TDP) such as the length of the title (TLEN) is 14 bits, information on data (Disp Data) indicating the start time and the end time is 22 bits, and other broadcast related information. 20 bits of information (other codes) and 28 bytes of information on a title are included.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating allocation of DRAM memory in which Bar-K data is stored.

The DRAM of FIG. 2 allocates 100K bytes per broadcasting station, dividing 1M bytes of DRAM into eight areas. For convenience of description, the broadcasting station providing the immediately-K data service is the SBS of Channel 6, KBS1 of Channel 9, and MBC of Channel 11.
