DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of a scheduled recording setting and a method of performing a disc recorder according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, the present invention can be applied to a disc recorder with a reserved recording function. For example, in the microcomputer 13, a user inputs a reserved recording setting key. In this case, the operation of the OSD generation unit 14 is controlled to display an OSD menu image for setting a scheduled recording through an screen of an external connection device such as a television. In the SD menu image, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of input fields for setting a reserved recording are displayed, and a title field ('Title Name') for allowing the user to arbitrarily set a title name for a program to be recorded. ) Is displayed further.

The microcomputer 13 operates the OSD generator 14 when a cursor is located in a field for inputting the title name and the input field 'Title Name' is activated. As shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 4, the OSD image in the form of a keyboard capable of selectively inputting letters, numbers, symbols, etc. is outputted. The screen may be displayed independently of the main OSD menu image for setting.

Accordingly, the user can select and specify a title name along with his / her reserved recording information. For example, 'DVD' in the recording medium field displayed in the OSD menu image, 'CH 11' in the channel field, In the title field, select '10 / 29 Fri 'in the date field,' PM 12:45 'in the start time field,' PM 12:45 'in the end time field, and' SP 'in the mode field. When the 'Night Show' is selected, the microcomputer 13 records a program broadcast through the channel 11 in the standard recording mode on the DVD for 12:45 pm from 12 pm on Friday, October 29. In addition to performing a series of scheduled recording operations, the title name of the recording program is recorded and recorded as a 'Night Show'.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, in the OSD menu image, a plurality of input fields for setting reservation recording are displayed, and a title name for a program to be recorded is input. Input field ('Title Name'), and input field ('Rec_No') for selecting and inputting the desired number of repetition recordings if the program is repeatedly broadcasted regularly such as daily soap or weekend soap opera. Is displayed.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the field for inputting the number of repetitive recordings may be replaced with a field 'Rec_Repeat' for repetitive recording setting. In the microcomputer 13, a user inputs a selection. The title name, the number of repetitive recordings, and whether or not to set the repetitive recording are stored and managed in association with the reserved recording information selected through the OS menu image. In the title of the title, a serial number (eg, 'Night Show 1') indicating the number of recordings is additionally recorded and classified and managed in detail.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting a reserved recording in the disc recorder according to the present invention. In the microcomputer 13, when the user enters the reserved recording setting mode at the user's request (S10), FIG. By operating the OSD generation unit 14, as described above with reference to FIG. 5, an OSD menu image for selecting and specifying a title name ('Title Name') and the number of repetitive recordings ('Rec_No') , The screen is displayed through an external connection device such as a television (S11).

Meanwhile, the user selects and designates desired reservation recording information, a title name, and the number of repetitive recordings through the OSD menu image. For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 6, the OSD menu Instead of the number of repetitive recordings ('Rec_No'), a field for designating a repetitive recording setting ('Rec_Repeat') may be displayed on the image.

In addition, in the microcomputer 13, when the cursor is located in the title name field included in the OSD menu image and is activated (S12), the microcomputer 13 operates and controls the OSD generation unit 14, referring to FIG. As described above, the ODS image in the form of a keyboard is displayed on the screen (S13).                     

When the user inputs a desired title name through the keyboard-type OSD image, for example, when a title name of 'Night Show' is selected and inputted, the title name is compared with the normal reserved recording information. The number of repetitive recordings selected and inputted through the repetition recording number field ('Rec_No') is also linked and recorded together with the title name. If the repetitive recording number is not specified, a single recording is performed. When the number of repetitive recordings is specified, it is determined that the repetitive recording is requested for that number of times. When the repetitive recording setting ('Rec_Repeat) is selected instead of the number of repetitive recordings, it is determined that unlimited repetitive recordings are requested. .

On the other hand, in the microcomputer 13, when the title name and the number of repetitive recordings or the repetitive recording settings are input together with the reserved recording information (S14), when the reserved recording setting operation is completed (S15), the memory 15 ), The reservation recording information, the title name, and the number of repetitive recordings, or whether the repetitive recording is set are stored and managed (S16). Then, the timer 16 switches to the reservation recording standby state. By checking the current time to be counted, a series of scheduled recording standby operations are performed to compare whether the date included in the reserved recording information and the start time have been reached (S17).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of performing a scheduled recording in a disc recorder according to the present invention. As described above with reference to FIG. 7, the micom 13 displays a scheduled recording start time and a current time. During the comparison (S30), when the current time coincides with the reserved recording start time (S31), the broadcast channel information included in the reserved recording information is searched and referred to, and then the operation of the tuner 17 is performed to control the corresponding broadcast channel. In operation S32, the VDR system 12 is controlled to perform a series of reserved recording operations for recording the broadcast program received through the broadcast channel on the optical disc 10.

On the other hand, when the reserved recording operation as described above is completed (S33), the microcomputer 13 searches for and determines whether the recorded program is a program set to one recording. For example, the number of repeated recordings is increased. If it is set to one circuit or if no information is recorded, it is determined that the program is set to one recording. If the repeat recording setting is specified, it is determined to be unlimited repeat recording.

When the program is set to one-time recording as described above (S34), in the microcomputer 13, the title name of the recorded program is set to the title name previously set by the user when the scheduled recording is set, for example, 'Night'. Show 'is searched and read and automatically set as a title name for the corresponding recorded program (S35).

On the other hand, when the number of repeated recordings is set to three times, the microcomputer 13 checks and confirms the number of repeated recordings (S36), and automatically records additionally the number of reserved recordings in the title name (S37). For example, when two repeated recordings are performed while the number of repeated recordings is set to three times, the microcomputer 13 automatically sets the title name for the corresponding recording program to 'Night Show 2'.                     

When the repetitive recording setting is a designated door and unlimited repetitive recording is set, a series of scheduled recording operations as described above are performed until the scheduled recording mode is released (S38). At this time, the title name, the number of repetitive recordings, or the repetitive recording setting for the program to be recorded can be easily specified in advance, and the number of repetitions of the recorded programs can be easily recognized by referring to the serial number recorded in the title name. It becomes possible.
