Scrambler 12 will be converted to the data the mpeg system from the broadcast singal of tuner 10 outputs, and the information of relevant conversion is offered controller 50.

Demoder 24 is divided into view data and voice data with the data that provide, and the data of each division that will offer impact damper 34 are decoded.

Operating unit 32 comprises: the various operating keys 26 that provide on record and reproducer 1; And remotely monitored sensor 28, be used for receiving transmission signals from remote controllers (hereinafter also being known as " telepilot ") 30.

Impact damper 34 is made up of recordable memory.Impact damper 34 comprises the view data that can store the duration (for example 3 seconds) with regulation and the zone of voice data.Demoder 24 decoded image data and voice data are stored in the duration of one section regulation in the described zone.For example, view data was stored in before being provided for image output unit 20 and reaches 2 seconds in the impact damper 34, and was stored in after being provided for image output unit 20 and reaches 1 second in the impact damper 34.

Image determiner 40 comprises the zone (hereinafter also being known as skip pictures zone 40a) that wherein can store the view data of a plurality of page screens.When slave controller 50 provides the order that begins to operate, image determiner 40 begins operation, and the view data of storing in the regulation zone with impact damper 34 (hereinafter also being known as input picture), just will be provided for image output unit 20 and the input picture that on display device 70, shows and skip pictures zone 40a in the skip pictures (being stored in view data among the 40a of skip pictures zone) of storing by the reproduction management processing of in controller 50, carrying out described later compare so that whether definite input picture consistent each other with skip pictures.

When determining that described image is consistent, that is to say that when from will detect the image identical with skip pictures the input picture that display device 70 shows the time, the control signal that will expression detects the image identical with skip pictures offers controller 50.Carry out whether each other determining of unanimity of two images by all pixels or the partial pixel (for example, the pixel on the diagonal line) that relatively form image.Be used as well-known technology owing to be used for the whole bag of tricks of described image recognition, therefore omitted the details of image recognition processing.

Controller 50 is by the known microcomputer that comprises CPU 52, RAM 54, ROM 56, form as EEPROM 58 of rewritable nonvolatile memory etc.Controller 50 also is provided with and is used to measure the timer of recovery time of data of pre-recording.CPU 52 carries out various processing according to program stored among RAM 54 and the ROM 56, for example recording processing, reproduction processes, reproduction management processing etc.

Now, will make an explanation to being recorded in such as the data of pre-recording on the storage medium of HDD 14 or DVD etc.The management information that the data of pre-recording are managed information reproduction by information reproduction and being used to is formed, and described information reproduction comprises picture data and the voice data of being changed by mpeg system by scrambler 12.

Information reproduction comprises the data of pre-recording of being formed and be registered as object video (VOB) by a series of moving-picture informations.Here, VOB is made up of a plurality of video object unit (VOBU), wherein freely arranges the video packets comprise the picture data that compressed by mpeg system, voice data etc. respectively, audio pack etc.

Management information comprises the number (that is the number of picture data) that is recorded in the VOB on the storage medium, each VOB record position on storage medium etc.The information (hereinafter also being known as time map information) that also comprises the size of data of each VOBU of relevant each VOB of formation, the recovery time of each VOBU etc.And, also comprise the information of pre-recording that relates to the data of pre-recording, for example when beginning with date and time, the channel etc. of pre-recording during the record of the data that finish to pre-record.

The various processing that controller 50 is carried out now make an explanation.

When the user was provided for the record order of recording prescribed television broadcasting signal, controller 50 executive loggings were handled, and the broadcast singal that tuner 10 is received is converted to the data of pre-recording that will be stored on the storage medium.

More specifically, when providing record order via operating unit 32, controller 50 will offer scrambler 12 through the broadcast singal of tuner 10 receptions, selection and demodulation.Subsequently, controller 50 generates above-mentioned management information based on the information of the relevant conversion that provides from scrambler 12, and is recorded on the HDD 14 as the data of pre-recording with the management information that generated with by the information reproduction that scrambler 12 is transformed into mpeg system.

And when the write order that provides via operating unit 32 DVD, controller 50 is according to the order that is provided, via disk drive 16 with specified format with the pre-record data recording of ever recorded on HDD 14 to DVD.

When the outside provided the order of reproducing the data of pre-recording, controller 50 was carried out the reproduction processes that is used to be reproduced in the data of pre-recording of storing on the storage medium, as the processing corresponding to transcriber of the present invention.

More specifically, when being provided for reproducing via operating unit 32 when pre-recording the order of data, controller 50 reads in the management information that writes down on the storage medium such as HDD 14 or DVD etc., and the tabulation with the reproducible data of pre-recording is presented on the display device 70 according to the management information that is read.Subsequently, when selecting to pre-record data via operating unit 32, controller 50 extracts the data of selecting of pre-recording from information reproduction, so that the data of pre-recording that will select offer demoder 24.

Controller 50 reads 24 decodings of decoded device subsequently and is stored in data in the impact damper 34, and these data are offered image output unit 20 and sound output unit 22, so as on display device 70 display image and from loudspeaker 80 output sounds.

As to the record of first embodiment and the treatment characteristic of reproducer 1, during data are pre-recorded in reproduction, controller 50 is carried out and is reproduced management processing, the data of pre-recording in the storage medium are read the position (promptly, reproduce the position) move in advance predetermined a pre-record position of reading of data of time keeping of skipping and (that is to say, the data of pre-recording are skipped described skipping the time), and carry out and to skip time set and handle, be used for setting and reproduce skipping the time that management processing will use based on the input that the outside provides.

At first, explain that by Fig. 2 skipping time set handles.Fig. 2 is that the process flow diagram that time set is handled is skipped in diagram.

Skip the time set order in response to what provide, begin to skip time set and handle via operating unit 32.At first,, will be used to the selection screen display of the time of skipping in display device 70 by image output unit 20 based on the information that is stored in ROM 56 grades at S110.Here, selecting screen is that a plurality of time spans for example 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 seconds etc. are shown screen as the option of time of skipping of the data of pre-recording it on, and is that one of these options can be via the screen of operating unit 32 selections on it.

At S120 subsequently, determining whether provides selection to finish order via operating unit 32.When providing selection to finish order (S120: be), this processing moves to S130, and the option (for example 30 seconds) that the user selects on selecting screen is stored among the EEPROM 58 as skipping the time.This processing moves to S140.

On the other hand, if S120 determine to provide select to finish order (S120: not), then this processing moves to S150, and determine since show select screen since over and done with predetermined stand-by period whether.When determining not pass by the stand-by period (S150: deny), this processing moves to S120, so that repeat the step that begins from S120.When determining over and done with stand-by period (S150: be), this processing moves to S140.

At S140, wipe the selection screen from display device 70, and finish current processing.

Then, explain the reproduction management processing by Fig. 3.Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram that management processing is reproduced in diagram.

Reproduce management processing and be the processing that begins when pre-recording data when in reproduction processes, beginning to reproduce, and repeat concurrently, till the reproduction of finishing the data of pre-recording afterwards with reproduction processes.When beginning this processing, at first determine at S200 whether skip pictures described later is stored among the skip pictures zone 40a of image determiner 40.

When determining that at S200 skip pictures is stored in the skip pictures zone 40 (S200: be), this processing moves to S210, and the order that will begin to operate offers image determiner 40.At S220, determining whether provides expression to detect the control signal of the image identical with skip pictures from image determiner 40 subsequently.If detect identical image (S220: be), then this processing moves to S230, and reads skip the time (for example 15 seconds of setting among the EEPROM 58), so that calculate the new address after skipping.

Just, calculate based on the time map information that in the recovery time, management information of that, comprises and the time of skipping and reproduce position (address of just reproduced VOBU).Further calculate in advance this and skip the pre-record address of VOBU of data of time keeping.

Then at S240, with the reproduction position of the data of pre-recording just reproduced in the reproduction processes move to S230 calculate skip after new address, thereby read the data of pre-recording in the new address after reproduction processes, skipping, the data of pre-recording are skipped the duration that this skips the time.

On the other hand, when determining that at S200 skip pictures is not stored among the 40a of skip pictures zone (S200: not), and when (S220: not), this processing moves to S250 when S220 determines not detect with the skip pictures uniform images.

Determine whether externally to provide skip command at S250 via operating unit 32.When skip command is provided (S250: be), this processing moves to S260, and read in the image I-picture of mpeg system (for example according to) of stipulated time of shifting to an earlier date the recovery time when skip command is provided (for example 0.5 second in advance), this image will be stored among the skip pictures zone 40a of image determiner 40 as skip pictures.If application drawing is not as determiner 40, then begin the operation of image determiner 40.

The reason that reads in the image of the schedule time that shifts to an earlier date the recovery time when skip command is provided is: because the input of user's skip command is the stipulated time that (that is to say, after reproduced image) after the user watches image.

Then, read predetermined skipping the time, so that calculate new address after skipping in the mode identical with step S230 from EEPROM 58 at S280.At S290 subsequently, the reproduction position of the just reproduced data of pre-recording is moved in advance and is skipped the time in reproduction processes.When completing steps S290, this processing moves to S200.(S250: not), this processing moves to S200, so that repeat the step that begins from S200 when determining not provide skip command at S250.

The image-region 40a of image determiner 40 can store a plurality of skip pictures.When providing skip command, controller 50 is stored in skip pictures among the 40a of skip pictures zone at every turn.Under a plurality of skip pictures were stored in situation in the zone, image determiner 40 determined whether any skip pictures are consistent with the image of storage in the impact damper 34.

And, when being provided for stopping the order of reproduction processes via operating unit 32 or skipping mandatum cassatorium, the skip pictures of storing among the controller 50 deletion skip pictures zone 40a is describedly skipped mandatum cassatorium and is used to cancel and skips the treatment of picture that once was applied in skip command automatically.

As explained above, in the record and reproducer 1 of first embodiment, when when operating unit 32 provides skip command, controller 50 extracts the image (skip command is provided at the appointed time) of the stipulated time of recovery time in advance from be stored in the input picture the impact damper 34 by reproduction processes, so that the image that is extracted is stored among the skip pictures zone 40a of image determiner 40 as skip pictures.

And controller 50 application drawings determine whether exist in the input images stored and the skip pictures uniform images in impact damper 34 by reproduction processes as determiner 40, and extraction and skip pictures uniform images.When in image determiner 40, extracting with the skip pictures uniform images, calculating be used for from detect with the storage medium reading images of skip pictures uniform images read position (promptly reproducing the position), and with in the identical mode of situation that skip command is provided via operating unit 32, the reproduction position of the data of pre-recording is moved to the position of reading that it's the time is past early jump.

Therefore, according to record and the reproducer 1 of first embodiment, in case the user provides skip command, the data extract skip pictures of pre-recording just from when skip command is provided, showing, and this skip pictures is stored among the 40a of skip pictures zone.When detecting in the data of pre-recording, the data of pre-recording are skipped this skip the time, thereby do not show this image with this skip pictures uniform images.Therefore, needn't make the user that skip command repeatedly is provided, just can only reproduce the content of user expectation.

That is to say, for example when showing CM,, just no longer show identical CM afterwards in case the user provides skip command to skip CM.Therefore, the user can only watch the part of expectation, and does not need to repeat to provide the operation of the trouble of skip command.

And the operation by operating unit 32 can at random change the time of skipping.Therefore, the user CM that can come reproduction only not expect by the length that will adjust to CM the time of skipping.The user can skip the time via operating unit 32 simple selection from a plurality of alternatives.Therefore, the user can easily change the time of skipping according to hobby, and this is quite easily.

Now, explain the record of second embodiment and reproducer 90 and the information sharing system that constitutes by a plurality of records and reproducer 90.Fig. 4 is the synoptic diagram of structure that the whole information sharing system of second embodiment is shown.

As shown in Figure 4, the information sharing system of second embodiment is by constituting via a plurality of reproducers 90 of internet 2 mutual communication.

The record of second embodiment and reproducer 90 are textural basic identical with reproducer 1 with the record of first embodiment.The record of the record of second embodiment and reproducer 90 and first embodiment and the difference of reproducer 1 have been to provide communication unit 92 and notification unit 93, the operation of image determiner 94 and the section processes of being carried out by controller 95.Therefore, in the following description,, do not repeat the explanation of same section with only the part different with first embodiment being made an explanation.

Communication unit 92 is provided with and other records and reproducer 90 (hereinafter also being known as group membership (group member)) the necessary various information of communicating by letter of being configured to intercom mutually.Communication unit 92 is configured to communicate in each group membership via internet 2.By other records and the identifying information of reproducer 90 etc. are provided from operating unit 32, can at random change the group membership.

Notification unit 93 is made up of LED, in case obtain skip pictures from other records and reproducer 90, this LED is just luminous.Skip pictures is the view data that is stored in the reproduction management processing of the explained later of being carried out by controller 95 in the image determiner 94.

Image determiner 94 is provided with rewritable area (hereinafter also can be known as skip pictures zone 94a), and it can store the view data of a plurality of pictures.By the processing of carrying out in the controller 95 skip pictures is stored among the 94a of skip pictures zone, each skip pictures is added unique identifier.

Now, explain the operation of image determiner 94 by process flow diagram shown in Figure 5.In fact entire image determiner 94 is made up of as hardware circuit.Yet here, process flow diagram is used for explaining, so that conveniently understand the operation of image determiner 94.Fig. 5 is the process flow diagram that is used for the operation of interpretation of images determiner 94.

When slave controller 95 provided the order that begins to operate, image determiner 94 began operation.The identifier of skip pictures is provided to provide with initiation command at S310.When the identifier of skip pictures is provided (S310: be), this processing moves to S320, and selects to have increased the skip pictures of the identifier identifier in addition that is provided as the skip pictures that will be determined from skip pictures zone 94a.This processing moves to S340.

On the other hand, (S310: not), this processing moves to S330, and all skip pictures of storing among the 94a of skip pictures zone are selected as the skip pictures that will be determined when determining not provide the identifier of skip pictures at S310.This processing moves to S340.

At S340, begin to read the view data (hereinafter also being known as input picture) in the regulation district that is stored in impact damper 34.At S350, determine whether input picture is consistent with the skip pictures of the skip pictures that is selected as determining.All that select in the step of S320 and S330 are skipped pixel carry out such determining.

When determining that at S350 input picture is consistent with skip pictures (S350: be), this processing moves to S360, and the control signal that expression is detected with the skip pictures uniform images offers controller 95.This processing moves to S370.On the other hand, (S350: not), this processing moves to S370 when determining that at S350 input picture is not consistent with skip pictures.

Determine whether to exist next input picture at S370.(S370: not), this processing moves to S380, and the identifier of definite skip pictures is sent to controller 95 when not having next input picture.This processing finishes.On the other hand, when when S370 determines to have next input picture (S370: be), this processing moves to S350.Read next input picture, and repeat the step that begins from S350.

Controller 95 by the known microcomputer that comprises CPU 96, RAM 97, ROM 98, can rewrite EEPROM 99 etc. and form.Controller 95 is provided with and is used to measure the time measurement function of current time and recovery time of data of pre-recording.Various processing shown in below CPU 96 carries out according to program stored among RAM 97 and the ROM 98.

The reproduction period that EEPROM 99 is stored in the data of pre-recording in advance in response to the skip command that provides via operating unit 32, make the time (hereinafter also being known as the time of skipping) that reading in the storage medium skipped position (promptly reproducing the position) in the reproduction processes.Can select in the same manner as in the first embodiment to skip the time via operating unit 32.

When the record of second embodiment and reproducer 20 are opened, in controller 95, carry out main routine shown in Figure 6.Based on the outside order that provides during carrying out this main routine, carry out the various processing of the data of pre-recording in the same manner as in the first embodiment, for example recording processing, reproduction processes etc.

Hereinafter, explain the main routine of in controller 95, carrying out by Fig. 6.Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram of diagram by the main routine of CPU 96 execution.The processing of the feature of expression second embodiment is only described in main routine.Omission is to the description (for example, recording processing, various setting variations etc.) according to the general processing of the command execution that provides from operating unit 32.

When beginning to handle, at S410, record and reproducer 90 at first are connected to internet 2 via communication unit 92.At S415 subsequently, determining whether provides reproduction order to the data of pre-recording via operating unit 32.

When determining the reproduction order is provided (S415: be), this processing moves to S420, and the beginning reproduction processes identical with first embodiment.At S425 subsequently, carry out the reproduction management processing of explained later.Carry out reproduction processes concurrently and reproduce management processing.When reproducing the management processing end, this processing moves to S430, and stops reproduction processes.At S435 subsequently, the skip pictures that will be stored in the reproduction management processing of carrying out recently in the image determiner 94 via communication unit 92 sends to group membership's (that is to say, but other record and reproducers 90 of mutual communication) with data storage command.This processing moves to S440.On the other hand, (S415: not), this processing moves to S440 when determining not provide the reproduction order at S415.

Then at S440, determining whether provides the skip pictures that is used for obtaining from the group membership skip pictures to obtain order via operating unit 32.When determining to provide skip pictures to obtain order (S440: be), this processing moves to S445, and carries out skip pictures and obtain processing.When skip pictures was obtained the processing end, this processing moved to S450.On the other hand, when (S440: not), this processing moves to S450 when S440 determines not provide skip pictures to obtain order.

Then, determine whether the order that receives from the group membership via communication unit 92 at S450.When the order that receives from the group membership (S450: be), this processing moves to S455, and carries out external command described later and handle.When the external command processing finished, this processing moved to S460.On the other hand, (S450: not), this processing moves to S460 when the order determining at S450 not receive from the group membership.

At S460, determining whether provides the skip pictures sense command via operating unit 32, and described skip pictures sense command is used for detecting skip pictures from the data of pre-recording that storage medium is stored.When determining the skip pictures sense command is provided (S460: be), this processing moves to S465, and carries out skip pictures described later and detect processing.When skip pictures detected the processing end, this processing moved to S470.On the other hand, when (S460: not), this processing moves to S470 when S460 determines the skip pictures sense command is not provided.

Then, carry out skip pictures deletion described later and handle at S470.When skip pictures deletion processing finished, this processing moved to S415, so that repeat the step that begins from S415.

Now, explain the reproduction management processing of in the S425 of main routine, carrying out by Fig. 7.Fig. 7 is illustrated in the process flow diagram of carrying out the management processing of reproducing in the controller 95.

When beginning this processing, at first determine whether to store among the EEPROM 99 the pre-record data of the identifier (in skip pictures detection described later is handled, being stored) of skip pictures together with the beginning reproduction processes at S500.If stored identifier (S500: be), then this processing moves to S510.The skip pictures of determining to have the identifier that the identifier with skip pictures is not inconsistent is stored among the skip pictures zone 94a of image determiner 94 among the EEPROM 99.When determining to have stored such skip pictures (S510: be), this processing moves to S520, and the identifier of order that will begin to operate and skip pictures offers image determiner 94.This processing moves to S530.

On the other hand, if determine not store the identifying information (S500: deny) of skip pictures at S500, then this processing moves to S505.Determine whether to exist the skip pictures among the skip pictures zone 94a that is stored in image determiner 94.When determining to have stored skip pictures (S505: be), this processing moves to S515, and the order that will begin to operate offers image determiner 94.This processing moves to S530.

At S530, determine in the storage medium of the data of pre-recording in the reproduction processes whether read position (that is to say, reproduce the position) consistent with the disabled position of storage among the EEPROM 99.Here, disabled position is the address of storing this uniform images when determining that the image that reads from image medium is consistent with skip pictures storage medium.This disabled position is stored among the EEPROM 99 in processing described later.

When determining that the reproduction position is consistent with disabled position (S530: be), this processing moves to S565, reads skip the time (for example 15 seconds of setting among the EEPROM 99), so that calculate the new address after skipping.This processing moves to S570.

On the other hand, (S530: not), this processing moves to S540, and determines whether to detect and the skip pictures uniform images based on the control signal that provides from image determiner 94 when determining that reproduction position and disabled position are inconsistent.When detecting uniform images (S540: be), this processing moves to S550, and is stored as disabled position among the EEPROM99 with being detected as address with the skip pictures uniform images in the storage medium.This processing moves to S555.

At S555, determine described laterly to forbid whether the time is added to and be confirmed as consistent skip pictures.Forbid the time (S555: be) if added, then this processing moves to S560, and about as skipping forbidding the time of time, calculates the new address after skipping.This processing moves to S570.On the other hand, when (S555: not), this processing moves to S565 when S555 determines that the time is not forbidden in interpolation.

At S570, the reproduction position of the data of pre-recording is moved to new address after the skipping of calculating in S565, thereby in reproduction processes, read the data of pre-recording the new address after skipping.And, skip the described data of pre-recording (hereinafter also be known as and skip data) of skipping the duration of time.This processing moves to S580.

On the other hand, (S510: not) when determining at S510 not have skip pictures to be stored the identifier consistent with the identifier that is read, as (S505: not) when S505 determines not store skip pictures, perhaps when (S540: not), this processing moves to S580 when S540 determines not detect uniform images.

At S580, determining whether externally provides skip command via operating unit 32.When skip command is provided (S580: be), this processing moves to S590, and is extracted in the image of stipulated time of shifting to an earlier date the recovery time when skip command is provided (in advance for example 0.5 second) from impact damper 34.At S600 subsequently, the image that is extracted is stored among the skip pictures zone 94a of image determiner 94 as skip pictures.In case storage is stored this skip pictures with the current time (hereinafter being known as storage time).And, when image determiner 94 is not operated when storing skip pictures, the operation of beginning image determiner 94.

Then at S610, the address that storage is used as in the storage medium of image of skip pictures storage is stored among the EEPROM 99 as disabled position.At S620 subsequently, read default skipping the time among the EEPROM 99, so that calculate the new address after skipping.This processing moves to S630.At S630, early jump is crossed the reproduction position of the mobile data of pre-recording of time.This processing moves to S640.On the other hand, when (S580: not), this processing moves to S640 when S580 determines skip command is not provided.

At S640, determine whether to be provided for the order of the image of demonstration on F.F. or the rewind down display device 70 via operating unit 32.If such order (S640: be) is provided, then this processing moves to S650, and moves the reproduction position of the data of pre-recording, and according to the image that shows on order F.F. that is provided or the rewind down display device 70.This processing moves to S660.

Whether at S660, determining provides F.F. or reverse commands in predetermined reference time (for example 5 seconds) since skip command is provided.When determining F.F. or reverse commands were provided in reference time (S660: be), this processing moves to S670, and calculates based on the time of skipping and F.F. or rewind down time and to forbid the time.

For example, suppose that the time of skipping is set to 30 seconds, if reverse commands is provided in reference time after skipping and has had 5 seconds rewind down, then skip the time between (30 seconds) and rewind down time (5 seconds) poor, be calculated as in promptly 25 seconds and forbid the time.Again for example, command fast forward is provided in reference time after skipping and has had 10 seconds F.F., then skip the time between (30 seconds) and F.F. time (10 seconds) poor, be calculated as in promptly 40 seconds and forbid the time.

When the time is forbidden in S670 calculating, this processing moves to S680, and adds the time of forbidding of being calculated the skip pictures of storage in the image determiner 94 to based on skip command.That is to say, reproduce the position and regulate when skipping the time by F.F. or reverse commands after skipping the time when moving, make the reproduction position skip skipping the time (forbidding the time) of when detecting with the skip pictures uniform images and skipping uniform images, regulating based on skip command.

At S690 subsequently, determining whether provides ceasing and desisting order to reproduction processes via operating unit 32.When (S690: be) when ceasing and desisting order is provided, this processing finishes.On the other hand, (S690: not), then this processing moves to S505, so that repeat the step that begins from S505 if determine not provide and cease and desist order.

Then, explain that by Fig. 8 the skip pictures of carrying out obtains processing in the S445 of main routine.Fig. 8 is that the skip pictures of carrying out in the diagram controller 95 is obtained the process flow diagram of processing.

When beginning this processing,, will be used for that skip pictures is sent to record and the skip pictures of reproducer 90 and obtain order and send to other and write down and reproducer 90, promptly be preset to group membership via communication unit 92 executive communications at first at S710.At S720 subsequently, determine whether to receive the skip pictures that sends from the group membership.When determining to obtain skip pictures (S720: be), this processing moves to S730, so that the skip pictures that receives is stored among the skip pictures zone 94a that skips determiner 94.

At S740 subsequently, on display device 70, show the message (promptly " successfully obtaining skip pictures ") of representing to obtain skip pictures from the group membership.This processing finishes.

On the other hand, (whether S720: not), this processing moves to S750, go over so that determine the predetermined stand-by period when determining not receive skip pictures.(S750: not), this processing does not move to S720, so that repeat the step of S720 when passing by waiting time.And when determining pass by the stand-by period at S750 (S750: time), this processing moves to S760, and shows the message (that is, " successfully not obtaining skip pictures ") of representing to fail to obtain from the group membership skip pictures.This processing finishes.

Now, explain the external command processing of carrying out among the S455 of main routine by Fig. 9.Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram that the external command of execution in the diagram controller 95 is handled.

When beginning this processing, at first determine at S810 whether the order that provides via communication unit 92 is to obtain order from group membership's skip pictures.Obtain order (S810: be) if this order is a skip pictures, then this processing moves to S820, so that read all skip pictures from the skip pictures zone 94a of image determiner 94.At S830 subsequently, the group membership of request source, the record and the reproducer 90 that promptly provide skip pictures to obtain order are provided this skip pictures.This processing finishes.

On the other hand, when determining that at S810 the order provided is not that (S810: not), this processing moves to S840 to skip pictures, and determines whether the order that provides via communication unit 92 is data storage command when obtaining order.If the order that is provided is data storage command (S840: be), this processing moves to S850, and the skip pictures that will provide data storage command is stored among the skip pictures zone 94a of image determiner 94.At S860 subsequently, undertaken from the notice of other records and reproducer 90 acquisition skip pictures by luminous notification unit 93.This processing finishes.

When this operating unit 32 of operation, notification unit 93 is designed to close.This is because it is not a processing that is begun by the order from the user that external command is handled, thereby notification unit 93 can not be luminous in user's service recorder and reproducer 90.Therefore, in a second embodiment, the luminous continuation of notification unit 93, till operating unit 32 operations, and when operating unit 32 operations, that is to say, when thereby record and reproducer 90 are used the luminous when being admitted by the user of affirmation notification unit 93 by the user, this notification unit 93 is closed.

On the other hand, when (S840: not), this processing moves to S870, so that normally carry out various processing according to the order that is provided when the definite order that provides via communication unit 92 of S840 is not data storage command.This processing finishes.

Now, explain that by Figure 10 the skip pictures of carrying out detects processing in the S465 of main routine.Figure 10 is that the skip pictures of carrying out in the diagram controller 95 detects the process flow diagram of handling.

When beginning this processing, at first determine whether to exist skip pictures among the skip pictures zone 94a that is stored in image determiner 94 at S900.When having stored skip pictures (S900: be), this processing moves to S905, and reads the management information that is stored in such as in the storage medium of HDD 14 and DVD etc.Based on the management information that is read, on display device 70, show the tabulation that is stored in the data of pre-recording in the storage medium.

Follow S910, determine whether to select to pre-record data via operating unit 32 subsequently.When determining to select to pre-record data (S910: be), this processing moves to S915, so that the initiation command of the operation of beginning image determiner 94 is provided.

On the other hand, as (S900: not) when S900 determines not store skip pictures, this processing moves to S985, and shows the message of not storing skip pictures among the expression skip pictures zone 94a (for example, " do not have skip pictures to be registered " etc.) on display device 70.This processing finishes.And, when the order of the data of determining at S910 not have to select to pre-record (S910: not), this processing end.

Then at S920, information reproduction from be stored in storage medium and that be provided for demoder 24 reads the selected data of pre-recording.At S925 subsequently, determine whether to detect and the skip pictures uniform images based on the control signal that provides from image determiner 94.

When detecting uniform images (S925: be), this processing moves to S930, and is stored as disabled position with storing the address that is detected as with the skip pictures uniform images in the storage medium.This processing moves to S940.On the other hand, (S925: not), then this processing moves to S940 with the skip pictures uniform images if do not detect.

At S940, determine whether all images that provide that comprise the selected data of pre-recording are determined.When determining all images that provide not to be determined (S940: deny), this processing moves to S925, so that repeat the step that begins from S925.On the other hand, when determining to have carried out to all images that provides regularly (S940: be) really, this processing moves to S950, and the identifier that will carry out the skip pictures determined is stored among the EEPROM 99 together with the data of pre-recording of having carried out determining.

Then, determine whether to exist in the disabled position that is stored in the step 930 among the EEPROM 99 at S960.If there is disabled position (S960: be), then this processing moves to S970, and shows that on display device 70 expression detects and the message of skip pictures uniform images (that is, " exist and the skip pictures uniform images " etc.).At S980 subsequently, determine whether to provide and skip the data deletion order via operating unit 32, this is skipped the data deletion order and is used to delete the one section data of pre-recording of skipping the time that comprises with the skip pictures uniform images.

When (S980: be) when skipping the data deletion order is provided, this processing moves to S990, and based on disabled position with skip the address that skip pictures that Time Calculation stores begins the image after the time of skipping from disabled position.The data of pre-recording from the data of pre-recording between the address of deletion disabled position and calculating (that is to say the above-mentioned data of skipping), and the disabled position of storing among the deletion EEPROM 99.This processing finishes.

On the other hand, as (S960: not) when S960 determines not have disabled position, this processing moves to S995, and shows that on display device 70 expression does not detect and the message of skip pictures uniform images (that is, " not and skip pictures uniform images " etc.).This processing finishes.And (S980: not), this processing finishes when skipping the data deletion order when not providing at S980.

Now, explain by Figure 11 and carry out the explanation that the skip pictures deletion is handled among the S470 of main routine.Figure 11 is that the skip pictures of carrying out in the diagram controller 95 is deleted the process flow diagram of handling.

When beginning this processing, at first determine whether to provide the skip pictures delete command via operating unit 32 at S1010, this skip pictures delete command is used for the skip pictures that the skip pictures zone 94a of deleted image determiner 94 stores.When determining to provide the skip pictures delete command via operating unit 32 (S1010: be), this processing moves to S1020, and all skip pictures of storing among the deletion skip pictures zone 94a.

On the other hand, if determine not provide skip pictures delete command (S1010: not) at S1010, then this processing moves to S1030, and extract one of skip pictures of storing among the 94a of skip pictures zone, and based on storage time that stores skip pictures and current time, whether determined since this skip pictures of storage the over and done with retention time (retention time), this retention time is predetermined to be the time that is used to keep skip pictures.Over and done with should the retention time time (S1030: be) when determining, this processing moves to S1040, so that delete skip pictures from the 94a of skip pictures zone.This processing moves to S1050.On the other hand, (S1030: not), this processing moves to S1050 when determining not pass by this retention time.

Then, determine whether all skip pictures of storing among the 94a of skip pictures zone have been carried out determining about the retention time at S1050.Really regularly (S1050: not), this processing moves to S1030, so that repeat the step that begins from S1030 to all skip pictures when not finishing.On the other hand, if determine to have finished determine (S1050: be) to all skip pictures, this processing finishes.

As explained above, in the record and reproducer of second embodiment, when when operating unit 32 provides skip command, controller 95 is from the data of pre-recording that just reproduced processing is reproduced, that is to say, from impact damper 34, read in the image that shifts to an earlier date the fixed time of recovery time when skip command is provided in the input images stored.Controller 95 is stored in the image that is read among the skip pictures zone 94a of image determiner 94 then as skip pictures.

And, controller 95 makes image determiner 94 carry out the reproduction processes manipulate, so that determine whether input images stored is consistent with skip pictures in the impact damper 34, and be determined address with the skip pictures uniform images in the designated store medium as disabled position.Based on this detected disabled position and skipping the time, calculate the new address after skipping, and the reproduction position of the data of will pre-recording moves to the new address after skipping.

Therefore, according to record and the reproducer 90 of second embodiment, in case the user provides skip command, these data of pre-recording are skipped this and are skipped the time, thereby during the image uniform images that when from the data of prepare reproducing of pre-recording, detecting and skip pictures is provided, shows, display image no longer.Therefore, needn't repeat to provide skip command, just can only reproduce the content of user expectation for the user.

Just, for example,, then no longer show afterwards identical CM if the user skips CM when providing skip command to show CM with box lunch.Therefore, the user can only check the part of expectation, and does not need to repeat to provide the operation of the trouble of skip command.

In addition, determine owing to carrying out concurrently whether input picture is consistent so that specify disabled position during data are pre-recorded in reproduction with skip pictures with reproduction processes, therefore the user can check the data of pre-recording, after skip command is provided, the part of skipping data consistent of skipping immediately Yu once skipping.

And, controller 95 in EEPROM 99, store as in the storage medium of disabled position with the address of skip pictures uniform images and storage medium in when skip command is provided the address of just reproduced image.Therefore, the user can easily see in the address of skipping data of once being skipped and the storage medium and the address of skipping the data of pre-recording of data consistent.

And controller 95 is carried out skip pictures according to the skip pictures sense command that provides from operating unit 32 and is detected data.Just, according to the order that provides from operating unit 32, controller 95 reads the data of pre-recording not reproduced, that will offer impact damper 34 via demoder 24.And whether image determiner 94 is operated to determine to offer the input picture of impact damper 34 consistent with skip pictures.Be confirmed as in the storage medium being stored among the EEPROM 99 as disabled position with the address of skip pictures uniform images.

In image determiner 94, whether consistent when definite input picture (that is to say, skip and read the view data that the data of pre-recording are provided for impact damper 34) with skip pictures, only the skip pictures that is defined as carrying out not yet and the data of pre-recording are determined.Therefore, compare, can reduce and handle load with situation about wherein when data are pre-recorded in reproduction, all skip pictures being determined.
