Abstract

A processing method for recording reservation conflicting thereof includes steps as follows. Several reserving requirements are received. A first control instruction is received and provides several priority sequence value into the reserving requirements. A reserving list is produced and the reserving requirements are sorted by playing time of reserving programs. When the playing time of reserving programs are overlapped, a conflicting list is produced and a second control instruction is received and changes the priority sequence value of the reserving requirements such that the reserving requirements that correspond to the reserving programs having overlapped playing time have different reserving requirements, and the reserving requirements are re-sorted by the priority sequence value that are changed. The reserving programs are recorded by sequence of the reserving requirements in the reserving list. When the playing times of the reserving programs are part-overlapped, the reserving program corresponding to the reserving requirement having the highest priority sequence value is recorded on the overlapping time.

Description

Reservation recording device and its reservation video conflict processing method

The present invention relates to a reservation recording apparatus and a method for processing a reserved video conflict.

In recent years, there have been some video recorders on the market that offer the so-called Electronic Program Guide (EPG). The user can directly query the program on the electronic program list provided by the video recorder, and then directly set the scheduled video recording program, wherein the electronic program table records the playing channel of the program, and the date and time of the start and end, without using One by one, it brings a considerable degree of convenience.

However, when the recording time of the pre-recorded program selected by the user conflicts, the video recorder needs to perform a corresponding solution to solve the problem of video time conflict. The most common solution is to directly display the video conflicting program, allowing the user to choose to keep a pre-recorded program and discard other video recordings that conflict with the video time. Alternatively, the video recorder can also let the user select the program that most wants to be recorded or modify the conflict time between the programs after displaying the program with the video time conflict.

For example, some of the reserved video recording devices on the market only select a plurality of reserved video programs and perform program recording by prioritizing the scheduled video programs to solve the problem of video time conflicts. However, this solution exists in the case where individual reserved video programs are not displayed. The shortcomings of overlapping video information. In addition, this solution also has the disadvantage of not being able to record a program when recording time conflicts or only recording the overlap time of two programs for 5 minutes.

In addition, there is also a solution for the reservation recording device that generates a conflict list when the recording time conflicts, but does not prioritize the time conflicting programs, but only by canceling the scheduled video recording and only recording the oldest video. The program of time.

However, the biggest disadvantage of the above method is the lack of video recording for the user to selectively record the video program for video recording time conflicts.

The present invention provides a reservation recording apparatus and a reservation recording conflict processing method thereof to solve the problems caused by the prior art.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for processing a reservation video conflict includes the following steps. Receive several pre-recording requirements for several pre-recorded programs. The first control command is received to provide a plurality of priority values to the pre-recording requirements, respectively. A pre-recorded list is generated, and the pre-recording requirements corresponding to the pre-recorded program are sorted in the pre-recorded list according to the playing time of the pre-recorded program. Determine whether the playback time of the pre-recorded program overlaps. When the play time of the pre-recorded program overlaps, a conflict list is generated, and the priority pre-order value according to the pre-recording requirement of the corresponding pre-recorded program is generated. The pre-recording requirement is sorted, wherein the conflict list has a pre-recording requirement corresponding to the pre-recorded program whose playing time overlaps. The second control command is received to change the priority value of the pre-recording requirement in the conflict list, so that the pre-recording requirements in the conflict list have different priority values, and the pre-recording requirements are reordered according to the changed priority values. Pre-recorded programs are recorded in sequence according to the re-recorded pre-recording requirements. When the play times of the pre-recorded programs partially overlap, the highest pre-recorded program among the priority values is recorded in the overlapped play time.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a reservation recording apparatus includes a request receiving unit, an instruction receiving unit, a pre-recorded list generating unit, an overlap determining unit, a conflict list generating unit, a prioritizing unit, and a recording unit. The receiving unit is required to receive a plurality of pre-recording requirements corresponding to the plurality of pre-recorded programs. The instruction receiving unit is configured to receive the first control instruction to respectively provide a plurality of priority values to the pre-recording request, or receive the second control instruction to change the priority value of the pre-recording requirement. The pre-recorded list generating unit is configured to generate a pre-recorded list, and the pre-recording requirements corresponding to the pre-recorded program are sorted according to the playing time of the pre-recorded program in the pre-recorded list. The overlap determining unit is configured to determine whether the playing time of the pre-recorded program overlaps. When the playing time of the pre-recorded program overlaps, the conflict list generating unit is configured to generate a conflict list, wherein the conflict list has a pre-recording requirement corresponding to the pre-recorded program whose playing time overlaps. When the playing times of the pre-recorded programs overlap, the prioritizing unit is configured to sort the pre-recording requirements of the corresponding pre-recorded programs according to the priority value. Alternatively, when the instruction receiving unit receives the second control instruction and changes the priority value of the pre-recording requirement in the conflict list so that the pre-recording requirements in the conflict list have different priority values, the prioritizing unit is configured to follow the changed Prioritization value reordering pre-recorded begging. The recording unit is configured to sequentially record the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording requirement according to the order of the pre-recording requirements, wherein the recording unit is used to record the priority in the overlapping playing time when the playing time of the pre-recorded program partially overlaps. The highest pre-recorded requirement for the corresponding pre-recorded program.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the reserved video recording device and the reserved video conflict processing method thereof allow the user to sort the pre-recording requirements corresponding to the pre-recorded program with the conflicting time by inputting the first control command and the second control command. So that pre-recorded programs can be recorded completely or partially.

The spirit and scope of the present invention will be described in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, which can be modified and modified by the teachings of the present invention. The spirit and scope of the present invention. On the other hand, well-known components and The steps are not described in the examples to avoid unnecessarily limiting the invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of a method for processing a reservation video conflict processing method 100. The video recording conflict processing method 100 can be applied to a reservation recording device and can be implemented as a computer program. And stored in a computer readable recording medium, and the computer reads the recording medium to perform the recording method of describing the object change information. Computer-readable recording media can be read-only memory, flash memory, floppy disk, hard disk, optical disk, flash drive, tape, network accessible database or familiar with the art can easily think of the same The function of the computer can read the recording medium. The reservation video conflict processing method 100 may include the following steps 110-190. It should be understood that the steps mentioned in the embodiment can be adjusted according to actual needs, and can be performed simultaneously or partially simultaneously, unless the order is specifically stated.

In step 110, a plurality of pre-recorded requests for a plurality of pre-recorded programs are received, wherein the pre-recorded programs are programs that the user can select from the electronic program listing to be recorded at the time of their broadcast. Therefore, the user can issue a pre-recording request to the reserved video recording device so that the reserved video recording device can record the pre-recorded program during the broadcast time of the pre-recorded program. In some embodiments, the user can issue a pre-recording request to the reserved video recording device through an operation interface, wherein the operation interface can be set on the external display device of the reserved video recording device or directly on the reserved video recording device.

In step 120, after receiving a number of pre-recorded requests, a pre-recorded list is generated, wherein the pre-recorded list records all pre-recorded requirements. Further, pick up Receiving a first control command to give each pre-recorded request a priority value in the pre-recorded list, and sorting all pre-recorded orders by the play time order of the pre-recorded program and the priority value of the pre-recorded request received Claim. Therefore, after all the pre-recording requirements in the pre-recorded list are sorted, the pre-recorded programs can be sequentially recorded according to the sorted pre-recording request order (step 160). It should be understood that the user can give the reservation recording device a first control command by directly operating the operation interface of the reservation recording device or by using the remote controller to transmit the reservation recording device through infrared transmission. Therefore, after the first recording control device receives the first control command, each pre-recording request in the pre-recorded list may have a priority value, but the manner in which the user transmits the first control command is not limited thereto.

Please refer to FIG. 2 at the same time, which illustrates an embodiment of step 120 in the method for processing a reserved video conflict in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, after each pre-recording request obtains a priority value, the pre-recording requirements in the pre-recorded list are sorted according to the playing time of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording requirement. Further, it is determined whether the play time of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording request overlaps (step 122). It should be understood that the above-mentioned "overlap" includes "complete overlap" and "partial overlap", that is, the playback time of the two pre-recorded programs is exactly the same, or the play time of the two pre-recorded programs overlaps partially.

However, when the playing times of the pre-recorded programs overlap, a conflict list may be generated in the pre-recorded list, wherein the pre-recording requirements corresponding to the pre-recorded programs whose playing time overlaps are stored and displayed in the conflict list, and according to the pre-recorded The required pre-ordered values are sorted by the pre-recording requirements. It should be understood that the conflict list can be part of a pre-recorded list that is used to store and display pre-recorded records. The pre-recording requirement corresponding to the pre-recorded program whose time is overlapped in the single play.

In addition, when the playing time of the pre-recorded program overlaps, a second control command may be received to change the priority value of the pre-recording requirement corresponding to the pre-recorded program whose playing time overlaps in the conflict list, so that the pre-recording of the playing time overlap is performed. The pre-recording requirements for the program have different priority values. That is to say, the user can learn from the conflict list the pre-recorded programs whose playing time conflicts, and further select the priority order when the pre-recorded programs are recorded. Therefore, the priority value of the pre-recording request can be changed by receiving a second control command sent from the user, so that the pre-recording requests corresponding to the pre-recorded programs with the playing time conflict have different priority values from each other. It should be understood that the user can give the reservation recording device a second control instruction by operating the operation interface of the reservation recording device or transmitting the infrared transmission to the reservation recording device by using the remote controller, so that each pre-recording request can be changed due to its priority. Values have different priority values, but it should be understood that the manner in which the user transmits the second control instruction is not limited thereto.

Further, the pre-recording requirements can be reordered based on the changed priority values (step 124). Therefore, after reordering the pre-recording requirements, the corresponding pre-recorded programs can be sequentially recorded in the order of the pre-recording requirements (step 160). In this embodiment, when the play time of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording request partially overlaps, the pre-recorded program corresponding to the highest pre-recording request among the priority values is recorded in the overlapping play time. For example, when the play times of the two pre-recorded programs partially overlap, the pre-recorded programs broadcasted during the non-overlapping play time are recorded during the non-overlapping play time. In addition, during the overlapping playing time, a pre-recorded program with a high priority value is recorded, so that two recordings are recorded during recording. When a pre-recorded program whose time is partially overlapped, a pre-recorded program having a high priority value can be completely recorded, and a pre-recorded program having a lower priority value can be partially recorded. Further, when there are more than three pre-recorded programs whose playing time overlaps, the pre-recorded program having the highest priority value is preferentially recorded in the overlapping playing time.

In some embodiments of the present invention, it may be further determined whether the playback time of the pre-recorded program is changed (step 130). When it is known from the electronic program table that the play time of the pre-recorded program is changed, the pre-recording request is reordered according to the play time after the change of the pre-recorded program. That is to say, when the playing time of the pre-recorded program is changed, the playlist can delete the original playing time of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording request and change it to the playing time after the transaction, thereby reordering the pre-recording request.

After re-sorting the pre-recording request according to the playing time and the playing time after the change in the pre-recorded list, it is further determined whether the playing time overlaps (step 140), wherein the aforementioned “overlap” includes “complete overlap” and “partial overlap”, It means that the playback time of the two pre-recorded programs is exactly the same, or the playback time of the two pre-recorded programs overlaps part of the time. The above scenarios are defined as the "overlap" of the playback time, but not limited to this.

However, when the playback time of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the re-recorded pre-recording request overlaps, a conflict list is generated again, wherein the conflict list contains and stores a plurality of pre-recording requirements corresponding to the pre-recorded programs whose playback time overlaps. Moreover, when the playing time of the pre-recorded program overlaps, a second control command may be received to change the priority value of the pre-recording requirement in the conflict list, so that the pre-recording requirements corresponding to the pre-recorded programs with overlapping playing times have different Priority value. In other words, the user can know the playing time from the conflict list. The conflicting pre-recorded program corresponds to the pre-recording requirement, and the second control command may be further issued to change the priority value of the pre-recording request. It should be understood that the user can give the reservation recording device a second control command by operating the interface of the reservation recording device or transmitting the infrared signal through the remote controller, so that each pre-recording request can change its priority value, but the user transmits The manner of the second control instruction is not limited thereto.

Further, the pre-recording request can be reordered in the pre-recorded list based on the changed priority value (step 150). Therefore, when the play times overlap, the corresponding pre-recorded programs can be sequentially recorded in accordance with the reordered pre-recording requirements (step 160). In the present embodiment, when the play times of the pre-recorded programs partially overlap, the highest pre-recorded program among the priority values is recorded in the overlapped play time. For example, when the play times of the two pre-recorded programs partially overlap, the pre-recorded programs broadcasted at the non-overlapping play times are recorded during the non-overlapping play time. At the same time, in the overlapping playing time, the pre-recorded program with the high priority value is recorded, so that when the pre-recorded program partially overlapping the two playing times is recorded, the pre-recorded program with the high priority value can be completely recorded, and the partial recording priority value is recorded. Lower pre-recorded programs. In addition, when there are more than three pre-recorded programs with overlapping playing times, the pre-recorded programs corresponding to the pre-recording request having the highest priority value are preferentially recorded in the overlapping playing time, but not limited thereto.

In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, after recording the pre-recorded program (step 160), it may also be determined whether the pre-recorded program is not recorded at all after the playing time of the pre-recorded program, thereby determining the recorded pre-recorded list. The pre-recording request corresponds to whether the pre-recorded program has failed (step 170). For example, when the playback times of pre-recorded programs are completely overlapped, since only the recording priority is high The program is pre-recorded without recording a pre-recorded program with a low priority value. Therefore, a pre-recorded program with a low priority value is not recorded at all after its playing time, and can be defined as a recording failure of a pre-recorded program. In addition, the reason for the failure of the recording of the pre-recorded program is that the storage space of the reserved recording device is full or the storage space cannot be found, the signal of the pre-recorded program is not received during the playing time, and the recording is not successfully switched to the pre-playing time during the playing time. Recording programs, tuner (tuner) can not be used normally, etc., but not limited to this.

After judging that the recording of the pre-recorded program has failed, that is, when the pre-recorded program is not recorded at all after the playing time of the pre-recorded program, the replay time of the pre-recorded program is searched from the electronic program list (step 180). That is to say, the program whose broadcast time is after the original broadcast time and which is the same as the program content and the pre-recorded program is searched from the electronic program table, and the program can be defined as "replay program". Further, it is determined from the electronic program schedule whether the pre-recorded program has a replay time (step 182). It should be understood that the foregoing "replay time" refers to the pre-recorded program has a play time after a play time, and another play time after the original play time can be defined as "replay time". . In some embodiments, the program name of the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded may be searched in the electronic program guide to search for the "replay time" of the pre-recorded program, when the program name of the other play time and the pre-recorded program of the failed recording If the name is the same or only one replay message is different (for example, the word "replay" is added next to the program name), and the play time of the program is after the playback time of the prerecorded program that failed to be recorded, it can be determined that the program is recorded. The replayed program of the failed pre-recorded program, the playing time of the program is the replay time of the pre-recorded program that failed to record.

When the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded has a replay time, the playback time of the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded is changed to the replay time, and the pre-recording request is reordered according to the replay time (step 120). That is to say, when the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded has a replay time, the playlist can delete the original play time of the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded and change it to the replay time (that is, another play after the original play time). Time), and then reorder all pre-recorded requirements in the pre-recorded list. On the other hand, when the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded has no replay time, the pre-recorded request of the pre-recorded program that is completely unrecorded (that is, the pre-recorded program that failed to be recorded) is recorded in a failure list. Further, a recording failure notification may be issued to inform the user about the failure of the pre-recorded recording failure (step 184). In this embodiment, the recording failure notification may be posted on the display device external to the reserved video recording device or directly on the display interface of the reserved video recording device. In addition, in some embodiments, the sound effect issued by the reserved video recording device can also be used as the release of the recording failure notification.

In summary, the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recorded request is sequentially recorded (step 160), and it is determined whether the pre-recorded program fails to be recorded (step 170), when the pre-recorded program fails to be recorded, that is, When the pre-recorded program is completely recorded or partially recorded according to its playing time and its priority order value, a recording completion notification may be further issued to inform the user of the related information of the recording completion (step 190), but not Limited. In this embodiment, the recording completion notification may be posted on the display device external to the reserved video recording device or directly on the display interface of the reserved video recording device. In addition, in some embodiments, it can also be sent through a reserved video recording device. The sound effect is released as a recording completion notification.

Referring to FIG. 3, an embodiment of a pre-recorded list 300 of the reserved video conflict processing method of FIG. 1 is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of pre-recording requests 310 are stored and displayed in the pre-recorded list 300, wherein each pre-recording request 310 displays a program name 312, a play time 314, and a priority image in the pre-recorded list 300. 316.

For example, the program name 312 may display the name of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording requirement 310 and the channel it plays, and the playing time 314 may indicate the playback start time and the end time of the pre-recorded program, but not limited thereto. .

Additionally, priority image 316 can be used to represent the priority value of each pre-recording requirement 310. In this embodiment, the user can define the priority value of the pre-recording requirement 310 by adjusting the number of the asterisk symbols in the priority image 316. When the number of the asterisk symbols is filled, the pre-recording is indicated. The higher the priority value of the recording request 310, but the representation of the priority value and the form of the priority image 316 are not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the pre-recording requirement 310 can display a preset image 318 on the pre-recorded list 300, which is a preset order value used to represent each pre-recording request 310. For example, after receiving a pre-recording request 310, the pre-recording request 310 may be given a preset order value according to the program name 312 of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording requirement 310, and may be displayed on the pre-recorded list 300. A preset image 318 is used as a representation of the preset order value, but is not limited thereto. For example, a pre-recording requirement 310 is given a preset order value for a program attribute of a pre-recorded program, wherein the program attribute may be periodic and the plot is continuous. Programs, periodic but plot-independent programs, or single-play special programs, but not limited to them. In this embodiment, the preset order value of the program whose program attribute is periodic and the plot is continuous may be higher than the single special broadcast program, and the preset order value of the single special broadcast program may be higher than the periodicity but the plot. Independent program, but not limited to it. When it is necessary to use the preset order value as the priority judgment at the time of recording, the pre-recording request 310 having a high preset order value is preferentially recorded. It should be appreciated that the preset order values are only used as a sorting reference when the play time 314 of the pre-recording request 310 overlaps and the priority values are the same.

In the present embodiment, when the pre-recording request 310 is sorted in the pre-recorded list 300, all pre-recording requirements 310 are prioritized according to the playing time 314. When the play time 314 overlaps (including full overlap and partial overlap), a conflict list 300a is generated in the pre-recorded list 300 and the pre-recording request 310 in which the play time 314 overlaps is stored and displayed in the conflict list 300a. Thereafter, the pre-recording requirements 310 in which the play time 314 overlaps are sorted according to the priority values represented by the priority image 316. Therefore, the recording order of the pre-recording request 310 is sorted by the preset order value represented by the preset image 318 only when the play time 314 overlaps and the priority values are the same. In addition, when the preset images 318 displayed on the pre-recorded list 300 are also the same, that is, when the preset order values of the pre-recording requirements 310 are the same, the pre-recorded list 300 may be added according to the pre-recording requirement 310. The order of the time is used as the order of recording the pre-recorded programs, wherein the order of recording the pre-recorded programs is sorted in such a manner that the pre-recording requirements of the 300-time joining time in the pre-recorded list are prioritized over the pre-recording requirements of the joining time.

In addition, in the conflict list 300a, except for the highest priority value Before the pre-recording request 310 is completely recorded corresponding to the pre-recorded program, the pre-recording request 310 partially overlapping the playing time 314 of the pre-recording request 310 having the highest priority value is partially recorded with its corresponding pre-recorded program and is displayed in the conflict list 300a. A portion of the overlap image 319a is indicated. On the other hand, when the pre-recording request 310 completely overlaps with the play time 314 of the pre-recording request 310 having the highest priority value, the pre-recording request 310 can be represented in the conflict list 300a by a completely overlapping image 319b, with a partial overlap map. The representation of the 319a and the fully overlapping image 319b allows the user to know that the overlap of the play time 314 of the pre-recording request 310 is partially overlapping or completely overlapping.

In some embodiments, after the play time 314 of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording request 310 is changed, the play time 314 after the change may be used as the basis for the pre-recording request 310. In addition, a change image 314a may also be displayed on the pre-recording request 310 for the change of the play time 314 to indicate that the play time 314 of the pre-recorded program corresponding to the pre-recording request 310 is changed.

It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the request receiving unit 410, the pre-recorded list generation 414, the overlap determining unit 416, the conflict list generating unit 418, the recording unit 420, the transaction query unit 424, the replay query unit 426, the failure list generating unit 428. The failure notification unit 430, the completion notification unit 432, or the preset providing unit 434 may be a hardware unit, a firmware unit, or The module to which the body is applied, but not limited to this. Further, the receiving unit 410, the pre-recorded list generation 414, the overlap determining unit 416, the conflict list generating unit 418, the recording unit 420, the transaction query unit 424, the replay query unit 426, the failure list generating unit 428, and the failure notification unit 430 are required. The completion notification unit 432 or the preset providing unit 434 can also be a functional module of the processor in the video recording device 400, but is not limited thereto.

As can be seen from the above embodiments of the present invention, the application of the present invention has the following advantages. The reservation recording device and the reservation video conflict processing method thereof allow the user to sort the pre-recording requirements of the pre-recorded programs with conflicting play time by inputting the first control command and the second control command, so that the pre-recorded program can be completely recorded. Or part of the recording. However, when the pre-recorded program is not recorded at all, the replay time of the pre-recorded program can be further searched for and the pre-recorded program is re-joined into the pre-recorded list for recording. In addition, when the playback time of the pre-recorded program changes, the order of the pre-recorded program recording can be determined again by the control command to ensure the integrity of the recorded pre-recorded program, and the temporary transaction conflict cannot be recorded. If the pre-recorded program cannot be recorded after the time has elapsed, the pre-recorded program can also be searched for replay time for remediation afterwards.
