Record-list slide show method for AV recorder {Recording-list slide-show offering method for AV recorder}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a recording list slide show of an AV recorder, and more particularly, in checking a recording list recorded by user selection in an AV recorder, a slide show function is provided to identify a recording list more easily. It is about how to manage it more efficiently.

After saving the AV stream of the TV through the DVD or PVR recorder, the user can check the recorded list.

In the conventional method, in displaying a recording list in a corresponding recording device, a thumbnail generated at the start of recording is displayed with a title or the recording list is simply displayed as a title.

Referring to FIG. 1, the upper left shows the total time and play state of the selected list, and the lower left shows 'Play', 'View chapter', 'Rename', 'Delete', 'Delete part', 'Playlist add' , Select 'Copy to VCR' button.

Also, on the right side, the screen shot of the recording list is arranged like a board with information on the title, recording time, and playing time.

In the lower right corner, there are menu buttons 'Select', 'Display info.', 'List playlist' and 'close'.

Therefore, the user can view the captured screen by using the move button of the remote controller and select and play the recording list.

The selected recording is inverted with a background color other than the background color to indicate that it has been selected around the screenshot.

In the conventional method, when the number of recording lists selected by the user increases, it may be difficult to intuitively identify the recording list that the user wants to play easily due to the uncertainty and lack of information. .

An object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a method for identifying and managing a recording list more intuitively and efficiently in displaying a recorded list in an AV recorder such as a DVD or a PVR. .

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of: starting the recording of a plurality of AV streams; Counting a predetermined time; Capturing a thumbnail from the recorded content at a predetermined time and storing the thumbnail in a memory; And sliding a thumbnail of the focused recording stored in the memory when a specific recording is focused.

The focusing of the specific recording is characterized in that by selecting the list of recordings by the key operation of the remote control.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The main operation of the present invention is that when a recording is focused by user selection, thumbnails of the recording made of a time-base are continuously slid to a position where thumbnails of the recording are displayed.

Thus, when the recording list is focused, thumbnails of the selected recordings can be displayed continuously in a slide show to intuitively identify the selected recordings.

The user may observe the slide show to facilitate the determination of the contents or the plot of the recording.

2 is a screen of a recording list showing an embodiment of the present invention.

On the left side, there is a storage space display and select / release button. On the right side, a list of recordings is listed.

The recording list can be selected by using the navigation buttons on the remote control. Before the selection, the screenshot displays the title of the selection list, the recording time and the playing time.

When a specific recording is selected by using the move button of the remote controller, the color is reversed to indicate that the selected recording list is displayed, and a slide show is played in the thumbnail.

Further, a play related operation button and a button for displaying detailed information of the recording list are provided on the rightmost side of the selected recording list.

When another recording is selected using the remote controller again, the thumbnail of the selected recording stops the slide show, displays a still image which is a capture screen, and starts the slide show on the thumbnail of the newly selected recording.

3 shows a process of generating a thumbnail of a recording for providing a continuous slide show of thumbnails.

The AV recorder starts recording the AV stream continuously after the power is turned on.

At this time, a predetermined time is continuously checked to capture thumbnails from the AV stream and to store them in the memory.

That is, the thumbnails stored in the memory are continuously updated every predetermined time.

The predetermined time is preferably about 1 minute.

The length of the thumbnail for the slide show capture is preferably 5 to 15 seconds in consideration of the storage capacity of the memory.

When thumbnails are stored in the memory as described above, when the user selects a recording list by using a remote controller, the slide show of the selected recording is played in the thumbnail.

In general, when the AV recorder is turned on, the recordings watched before the AV recorder is turned on are focused. In addition, when the remote controller is keyed to view the recording list, the focusing recording is already recorded by the user.

In addition, the user can focus the other recordings with the navigation buttons of the remote control on the recording list to view the other recordings.

At this time, when a specific recording is selected, a slide show of thumbnails stored in the memory is started.

Of course, if another recording is selected with the remote control, a slide show of thumbnails of the corresponding recording is started.

At this time, the previously selected recording is displayed again as a still image. Since it is practically difficult to reproduce various screens at the same time, it is desirable to provide a still screenshot as described above.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a function to grasp the contents and the plot of the recording even without playing the recording.

According to the present invention, when a user selects a recording for a recording list recorded by the user, a slide show can be continuously displayed on a screen of thumbnails stored in a memory at the time of recording.

Therefore, when the contents of the recording selected through the title information or thumbnail of the recording cannot be intuitively determined, or when the number of recorded recordings is large, and the user wants to manage the recording efficiently, the user can efficiently identify the recordings. It can provide functions that can be used and managed.
