13 and 11 pairs of CDs 6 of CD drive format (S205) under the formatted situation in step S202.

(S204: not), video recording/playback control part 24 is judged the login instruction (S206) of whether having accepted CD 6 under the situation of the format instruction of not accepting CD 6.For example, video recording/playback control part 24 shows video display devices 4 to be used to accept to login the picture of accepting of instruction, and utilizes telepilot acceptance division 33 to accept the instruction of whether CD 6 being logined.In addition, also can handle as follows: video display devices 4 is shown will be used to accept to format instruction accept picture and the picture of accepting that picture unites two into one of accepting that is used to accept to login instruction.

Under the situation that step S205 finishes; Perhaps accepted among the step S206 under the situation of login instruction of CD (S206: be); Whether video recording/playback control part 24 has the not storage area of corresponding CD (S207) based on canned data in the management area of storage part 12 in the 1st～the n zone of judgement storage part 12.(S207: not), video recording/playback control part 24 judges whether accepted the cancellation login, and the not instruction of the storage area of corresponding CD (S208) of generation not having under the situation of the storage area of corresponding CD not.For example, video recording/playback control part 24 shows video display devices 4 and is used to accept the picture of accepting as giving an order on the basis of having notified the new login that can't carry out CD, and this instruction is the instruction of cancelling the login of logining CD.The user utilizes the login of telepilot 5 which CD of indication cancellation, and video recording/playback control part 24 utilizes telepilot acceptance division 33 to accept the instruction of cancellation.

Under the situation of the instruction of having accepted the cancellation login (S208: be); Video recording/playback control part 24 through a CD storing in the management area that makes drive control part 13 deletion storage parts 12 intrinsic information, thereby cancel the processing (S209) of the login of a CD.For example, under situation about will cancel with the login of the 1st regional corresponding CD 61 of storage part 12, the medium ID and the media key information of storing in the 1st Regional Management Dept through deletion storage part 12, thus cancel the processing of login.In addition, at this moment, the distribute labels of storing in the 1st Regional Management Dept is rewritten into the not mark of corresponding CD of expression.

In step S207, exist under the situation of the storage area of corresponding CD not (S207: be), perhaps under the situation that step S209 has finished, video recording/playback control part 24 demonstrations login screen (S210) shown in Figure 4.At this moment, the login of login screen numbering shows according to the storage area number of corresponding CD not.For example, be divided into the 1st to the 8th zone, in six zones,, show that on login screen " 7 " reach the login numbering of " 8 " to having under the situation of logining the CD that is numbered " 1 "～" 6 " at storage part 12.

After showing login screen, video recording/playback control part 24 is handled as follows: make in the storage area of the CD 6 that is installed in the CD drive 11 and corresponding CD not any regional corresponding to login (S211).For example, make under the 1st regional corresponding situation of CD 61 and storage part 12, medium ID that will read from the CD being installed in CD drive 11 61 and media key information stores are in the 1st Regional Management Dept of storage part 12.In addition, the CD color that will in login screen, set stores into respectively in the 1st Regional Management Dept of CD 61 and storage part 12.And, the distribute labels of storing in the 1st storage administration portion is rewritten into the mark of the corresponding CD of expression.Under the listed situation of CD (S201: be), under the situation that perhaps step S211 has finished, video recording/playback control part 24 begins the CD 6 that is installed in the CD drive 11 is carried out access in step S201, handles (S212) to carry out video recording or playback etc.

CD 6 is under the special-purpose situation of playback (S203: be) in step S203; Perhaps do not accept (S206: not) under the situation of login instruction of CD 6 among the step S206; Accept among the step S208 perhaps that (S208: not), the CD 6 that video recording/playback control part 24 will be installed in the CD drive 11 begins to carry out access (S213) as the CD of not logining under the situation of instruction of cancellation login.Processing when so far, CD 6 is loaded onto in recording apparatus 1 end.

Through telepilot 5 grades recording apparatus 1 is operated, thereby recording apparatus 1 carries out the processing of recording schedule.Beginning to handle under the situation of recording schedule, video recording/playback control part 24 makes video display devices 4 demonstrations be used to accept the recording schedule picture to the appointment that program carried out that will record a video.Fig. 7 is the synoptic diagram of an example of expression recording schedule picture.Through utilizing telepilot acceptance division 33 to receive the signal that has carried out the telepilot 5 of scheduled operation from the user, thereby show the recording schedule picture.In addition, under the situation that shows the recording schedule picture, listed CD 6 both can be installed in the CD drive 11, also can not install.In addition, also can when fixing disc 6, show the recording schedule picture.

Display label 71 on the recording schedule picture, and the kind of 71 pairs of CDs of on the login screen of Fig. 4, logining 6 of this label shows.On the recording schedule picture, show label 71 with the CD equal number of being logined.On label 71, the title that the CD that demonstration user grasp is logined is used.This title for example both can be the login numbering of on login screen, setting, and also can be the title of when login, being imported by the user.Among Fig. 7, what illustrate is that 3 CDs are logined, is made as the title that " CD 1 ", " CD 2 " reach " CD 3 " respectively.

In addition, each label 71 utilizes the color to being logined with the corresponding CD of title that shows to show.For example be set on the login screen under the situation of CD color of " green ", showing that the label 71 of " CD 1 " shows with green at the CD corresponding with " CD 1 ".The color of pairing CD being logined through utilization shows each label 71, thereby the user can grasp the kind of the CD of being logined moment, can grasp use which CD.

On the recording schedule picture, show the tabulation display part 72 that subscription information is tabulated and shown.On tabulation display part 72, show subscription information (program specific information) 73 with selected label 71 corresponding CDs.Subscription information 73 is the information of time, channel, program names and the video recording pattern etc. that comprise the program that will record a video, shows accordingly with CD color to the CD login.Particularly, tabulation display part 72 shows with the color to CD 6 logins.Then, under the situation of the label 71 of having selected " CD 1 ", tabulation display part 72 utilizes and shows with " CD 1 " pairing label 71 identical colors.Thus, which program is user's easy master record on which CD.In addition, the CD color of logining also capable of using is come explicit reservation information 73 self.For example, the color of logining also capable of using shows that the color of logining also capable of using is come character display in the frame of expression subscription information 73.

In addition, on the recording schedule picture, show electric program guide 74 simultaneously.On the electric program guide 74, each channel (below be called CH) is shown program frame (program hurdle) 74a, the 74b of a plurality of expression broadcast programs.Each

program frame

74a, 74b are selectable, and the user with program frame 74a, the 74b on the selection electric program guide 74, thereby specifies the program of preengaging through remote controller 5.At this moment, selected

program frame

74a, 74b utilize the color to logining with selected label 71 corresponding CDs to show.For example, program frame 74a utilizes and shows with " CD 1 " pairing label 71 identical colors.In addition, program frame 74b utilizes and shows with " CD 3 " pairing label 71 identical colors.Like this through watching electric program guide 74, thereby which section directory of user's easy master is on which CD.Under the situation of having preengage video recording, generate the subscription information that the program of having preengage video recording is carried out appointment, be associated with the medium ID of CD, subscription information is stored into respectively preserve with in storer 27 and the CD.In addition, the subscription information that is generated is presented on the tabulation display part 72.

In addition, among Fig. 7, the color that utilization is logined CD shows the tabulation display part 72 of recording schedule picture etc., but also can be when the login CD, login icon image (identifying information).Fig. 8 is the synoptic diagram of other examples of expression recording schedule picture.For example on the login screen of Fig. 4, make it possible to process icon like the appearance with the user, perhaps make it possible to select the image of logining in advance.Then, as shown in Figure 8, on the recording schedule picture, show icon image 75 overlappingly to the CD login with the program frame 74a of label 71 and

electric program guide

74,74b etc.Through display icon image 75, thereby compare with the situation of only grasping the kind of CD with color, the user is the kind of easy master CD more sometimes.In addition, the icon image of being logined 75 is identical with above-mentioned CD color, stores into respectively in storage part 12 and the CD 6.

Also can be, under the situation of the recording schedule picture of displayed map 7 or Fig. 8,, then under the state of having selected with the CD of being installed 6 corresponding labels 71, begin to show the recording schedule picture in CD drive 11 if CD 6 is installed.In this case, because the user hopes to show that the possibility of the information relevant with the CD of being installed 6 is higher, so can save user's trouble.

Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram of the expression recording apparatus 1 recording schedule processed steps of carrying out.Video recording/playback control part 24 obtains each information (S31) of the CD 6 that is installed in the CD drive 11, makes recording schedule picture shown in Figure 7 be presented at (S32) on the video display devices 4.The information of being obtained for example is CD colouring information, and the subscription information that generated etc. of CD 6.The signal of video recording/playback control part 24 through utilizing telepilot acceptance division 33 to receive from telepilot 5, thus the appointment (S33) that program carried out accepted to recording a video.For example, video display devices 4 shows electric program guides 74, while the user through confirming electric program guide 74 remote controller 5, thereby on electric program guide 74 appointed program.Next video recording/playback control part 24 specifies according to the program of being accepted, and upgrades the demonstration (S34) of recording schedule picture.

Video recording/playback control part 24 generates the subscription information that the program of having preengage video recording is carried out appointment, and the medium ID of the CD in making it and being installed in CD drive 11 is associated, and stores subscription information into preservation with (S35) in the storer 27.Next, video recording/playback control part 24 makes the CD 6 recording reservation information (S36) that are installed in drive control part 13 and the CD drive 11.So far, recording apparatus 1 finishes the recording schedule processing.

In addition, in the process flow diagram of Fig. 9, the information of obtaining the CD of being installed 6 to be showing the recording schedule picture, and subscription information etc. is recorded in the CD 6, but also fixing disc 6 not.In this case, among Fig. 7 or Fig. 8, the user selects the corresponding label 71 of CD with the record destination, and subscription information is recorded in the storage area of pairing storage part 12.Then, also can when pairing CD is installed, subscription information be recorded in the CD 6.

Figure 10 is that expression is stored in the concept map of preserving with the content example of the subscription information in the storer 27.Medium ID and subscription information are relative to each other and store with joining.Subscription information comprises the information of the airtime of expression channel, program, utilizes these information to specify the program that will record a video.That is, subscription information is that the program of wanting the recorded program data is carried out specified message, is equivalent to the program specific information among the present invention.In addition, subscription information also can be stored with the entry number of the storage area of the pairing storage part 12 of CD explicitly, is associated with medium ID to replace.Like this, preservation is just stored subscription information and the CD of being logined with storer 27 explicitly.

Figure 11 is the process flow diagram of the step of expression recording apparatus 1 video record processing of carrying out.Video recording/playback control part 24 comes the measuring and calculating time according to clock, and judges at any time whether be stored in preservation comes (S41) with the airtime of the shown program of information that subscription information comprised in the storer 27.(S41: not), video recording/playback control part 24 continues the measuring and calculating time under the situation of the airtime that does not also arrive program.Under the situation of having come in the airtime of the shown program of information that subscription information comprised (S41: be), video recording/playback control part 24 judges in the CD drives 11 whether CD 6 (S42) is installed.In CD drive 11, be equipped with under the situation of CD 6 (S42: be), video recording/playback control part 24 judges whether the CD of installing in the CD drives 11 6 is the CDs (S43) that are associated with the subscription information that comprises the information of representing the airtime.In step S43, video recording/playback control part 24 reads medium ID from CD 6, and preserves according to being stored in explicitly with subscription information that the medium ID that reads with the medium ID in the storer 27 with from CD 6 is whether consistent to be judged.

In step S43; Consistent and the CD 6 of medium ID is (S43: be) under the situation of the CD that is associated with subscription information, and video recording/playback control part 24 is handled as follows: the program data recording (S44) to CD 6 that utilizes the content of the program that CD drive 11 will represent to have gone on the air.In step S44, digital tuner 21 converts the broadcast singal of the shown channel of subscription information to flow data, and stream handling part 23 stream data are carried out data processing, and video recording/playback control part 24 is input to combination drive portion 10 with flow data from interface portion 26.Flow data can come program for playback through decoding, is the program data of the content of expression program.And in step S44, video recording/playback control part 24 is also handled as follows: make drive control part 13 utilize CD drive 11 with program data recording to CD.For example, the subscription information that carries out appointment at the program that the airtime has been come is associated with CD 61 and CD 61 is installed under the situation in the CD drive 11, with program data recording to CD 61.In addition, video recording/playback control part 24 also can be handled as follows: program data recording to CD, and is stored into program data in the CD corresponding storage territory in the storage area of storage part 12, that be associated with subscription information.

Under the situation that programming finishes and the record of program data has finished, video recording/playback control part 24 records heading message on the CD 6, and this heading message illustrates the title (S46) of the represented program of the program data that writes down on the CD 6.For the title of program, the title that the information that comprises in the broadcast singal that can use on the electric program guide 74 title that shows etc., receives according to digital tuner 21 decides also can use the title of setting through user's remote controller 5.Next, video recording/playback control part 24 will store into the heading message that the heading message that records on the CD 6 is equal to and preserve with (S47) in the storer 27.In addition, video recording/playback control part 24 also can be handled as follows: heading message is stored in the CD 6 corresponding storage territories in the storage area of storage part 12, that be associated with subscription information.

In step S42, in the CD drive 11, there is not (S42: not) under the situation of fixing disc 6; Perhaps inconsistent, the CD 6 of medium ID is not that (S43: not), the program data of the content of the program that video recording/playback control part 24 is gone on the air expression stores in the CD corresponding storage territory in the storage area of storage part 12, that be associated with subscription information (S45) under the situation of the CD that is associated with subscription information among the step S43.For example; The subscription information that the program that airtime has been come carries out appointment is associated with CD 61; Judge the CD whether CD 61 is installed in the CD drive 11; In CD drive 11, be equipped with under the situation of other CDs beyond the CD 61, program data stored in the 1st zone of storage part 12.Finish at programming, under the situation of the end of record (EOR) of program data, the heading message that video recording/playback control part 24 will illustrate the title of the represented program of the program data that is stored in the storage part 12 stores preservation into (S47) in the storer 27.

After step S47 finishes; Video recording/playback control part 24 upgrades map information; So that it reflects the processing till the step S47, above-mentioned map information is represented the distribution (S48) that is recorded in the program data on the CD 6 or is stored in the program data in the storage part 12.Next, video recording/playback control part 24 is handled as follows: from CD 6 and preserve the subscription information (S49) of the program that has finished to record a video with deletion the storer 27, thus the end video record processing.

Figure 12 and Figure 13 are that expression has been write down the CD of program data or stored the concept map of state of the storage part 12 of program data.

Figure 12 A representes to utilize step S45 in the 1st zone of storage part 12, to write down the state of the program data of program 1, but also shows the record reflection of the virtual CD (virtual disk) that the program data that at least one recorded content comprised in the recorded content in the recorded content of CD 61 and the 1st zone is write down.Store the program data of program 1 in the 1st zone, also record program data in the virtual disk thereupon.Figure 12 B representes the content example of stored mapping information in the 1st Regional Management Dept of storage part 12.Utilize first address and size of data, record the DATA DISTRIBUTION in virtual disk and the 1st zone explicitly with the data name of program data.And, also record the information of synchronous regime of the program data on expression the 1st zone and the CD 61.Show the different but big or small identical program data of the first address that in virtual disk and the 1st zone, records program data.In addition, because recorded program data not on the CD 61, so synchronous regime becomes asynchronous.In addition, in the present embodiment, the address and the size of data numerical value decimally of storer are represented.Figure 12 C representes the content example of heading message.Record duration, image quality that the expression program continues explicitly with the title of the represented program of program data, can transcribe number of times, and the information of synchronous regime.In addition, the data name of program data can shown in figure 12ly be identical both with title name, also can differ from one another.

Figure 13 representes to utilize step S44 on CD 61, to write down the state of the program data of program 1.Shown in Figure 13 A, record the program data of program 1 on the CD 61, also record program data on the virtual disk thereupon.Shown in Figure 13 B, write down following situation in the map information: record program data on the virtual disk, and on the other hand, do not have storaging program data in the 1st zone.In addition, shown in Figure 13 C, in heading message, about the program data of record on the CD 61, number of times can not transcribed in record.

Recording apparatus 1 begins listed CD 6 is carried out handling as follows after the access in step S212: make the memory contents in the corresponding stored zone of recorded content and storage part 12 of CD 6 synchronous.Figure 14 is the process flow diagram of the step of expression recording apparatus 1 synchronous processing of carrying out.In step S212, begin CD 6 is carried out after the access; Video recording/playback control part 24 compares the memory contents in the CD 6 corresponding storage territories in the storage area of the recorded content of CD 6 and storage part 12, judges whether Unrecorded program data is stored in (S51) in the corresponding storage area on the CD 6.In step S51, for example judge whether Unrecorded program data is stored in the 1st storage area of storage part 12 on the CD 61.Storing (S51: be) under the situation of Unrecorded program data, video recording/playback control part 24 copies to (S52) on the CD 6 with Unrecorded program data from storage part 12.In step S52, video recording/playback control part 24 makes drive control part 13 read Unrecorded program data from storage part 12, and utilize CD drive 11 with the program data recording that is read to CD 6.

Next, video recording/playback control part 24 is updated in preserves the heading message (S53) of storing with in the storer 27, and is updated in stored mapping information (S54) in the management area of storage part 12, so that it reflects that CD 6 has write down the state of program data.In step S54, for example, be updated in stored mapping information in the 1st Regional Management Dept of storage part 12, so that it reflects that CD 61 has write down the state of program data.

Next, video recording/playback control part 24 judge whether record in the CDs with CD 6 on the relevant subscription information of the program data of record, the subscription information (S55) that promptly generates for the represented program of this program data is recorded a video.In CD, record with CD 6 under the situation of the relevant subscription information of program data of record (S55: be), video recording/playback control part 24 makes drive control part 13 utilize CD drive 11 that corresponding subscription information is deleted (S56) from CD 6.

In step S51, do not have storage not to be recorded in (S51: not) under the situation of the program data on the CD 6; Perhaps among the step S55, do not have on the CD under the situation of the relevant subscription information of the program data of record on record and the CD 6 (S55: deny); Perhaps after step S56 finished, video recording/playback control part 24 judged whether record preservation on the CD 6 with the subscription information of not storing in the storer 27 (S57).On CD 6, record and preserve with under the situation of the subscription information of not storing in the storer 27 (S57: be), the subscription information that video recording/playback control part 24 will not stored copies to from CD 6 and preserves with (S58) the storer 27.In step S58; Video recording/playback control part 24 makes drive control part 13 utilize CD drive 11 to read the not subscription information of storage from CD 6; Via interface portion 14 subscription information is input to rearward end 20, and stores the subscription information of being imported into preservation with in the storer 27.In step S57, on the CD 6, do not have record not under the situation of the subscription information of storage (S57: not), perhaps after step S58 finishes, video recording/playback control part 24 end synchronous processing.

Figure 15 and Figure 16 are expression recorded content result's after synchronous with the memory contents of storage part 12 of making CD concept maps.

Figure 15 is illustrated under the state shown in Figure 12, the CD 61 of recorded program data is not installed in the synchronized result under the situation in the CD drive 11.Shown in Figure 15 A, on CD 61, write down with the 1st zone in the identical program data of program data stored.The DATA DISTRIBUTION of virtual disk becomes the DATA DISTRIBUTION that reflects the DATA DISTRIBUTION on the CD.In addition, shown in Figure 15 B, write down following situation in the map information: the two has all stored the program data of program 1 virtual disk and the 1st zone, and about the program data of program 1, and the recorded content of CD 61 is synchronous with the 1st regional memory contents.In addition, shown in Figure 15 B, in the map information, the program data of expression same program promptly is associated with present position in storage part 12 in the present position on the CD in the present position on the virtual disk.Thereby, through with reference to map information, thus can CD and storage part 12 among both the program data to the expression same program carry out access.In addition, shown in Figure 15 C, also write down following situation in the heading message: about the program data of program 1, CD 61 and the 1st area synchronized.

The CD 61 that Figure 16 is illustrated under the state shown in Figure 12, will write down other program datas beyond the program data of storing in the 1st zone of storage part 12 is installed in the synchronized result under the situation in the CD drive 11.In the 1st zone of storage part 12, store under the state of program data of program 1; When recording the CD 61 of program data of program 2 when the program data that recorded program 1 not has been installed in the CD drive 11, the program data of program 1 added recording on the CD 61.Shown in Figure 16 A, except the program data of the program 2 that write down, also write down the program data of program 1 on the CD 61.Thereby it is constant and record the state of the program data of program 1 and program 2 in the virtual disk to become the program data that stores program 1 in the 1st zone.Shown in Figure 16 B, write down following situation in the map information: the two has all stored the program data of program 1 virtual disk and the 1st zone, and about the program data of program 1, and CD 61 and the 1st area synchronized do not have the program data of programs stored 2 in the 1st zone.In addition, shown in Figure 16 C, also write down following situation in the heading message: about program 1, CD 61 and the 1st area synchronized then can't be synchronous about program 2.

In addition, among Figure 12, Figure 13, Figure 15 and Figure 16, be made as program data and be recorded in continuously in the CD 61, but recording apparatus 1 also can adopt can with the program data fragmentation be recorded in the mode on the CD.In the recording apparatus 1 of this mode, through utilizing FS (file system), the address of the each several part that records program data is associated with the filename of program data, thereby program data is managed.

Figure 17 is that expression has been write down the CD of program data through the recording apparatus 1 that has used FS and stored the concept map of state of the storage part 12 of program data, and expression is with the program data recording of the program of storing in the 1st zone 1 state to the CD 61.

Figure 17 A representes the record map of the recorded content in virtual disk, CD 61 and the 1st zone.Store the program data of program 1 in the 1st zone, in the CD 61 program data is divided into 2 two parts in zone 1 and zone and carries out record.In addition, also record on the CD 61 and utilize the required FS data of each file of FS management.

Video recording/playback control part 24 needs the FS data for file is carried out access.Preserving the FS data and the medium ID that will be equal to the FS data that each CD is write down with storer 27 stores explicitly.Video recording/playback control part 24 is handled when carrying out synchronous processing as follows: make FS data that write down on the CD and the FS data sync of preserving with storage in the storer 27.

Figure 17 B representes the content example of stored mapping information in the 1st Regional Management Dept of storage part 12.Utilize first address and size of data, record zone 1 and the DATA DISTRIBUTION in zone 2 in virtual disk and the 1st zone.Show: on virtual disk, record was ceded territory to carry out in 2 minutes with the zone in zone 1, and in the 1st zone, store with zone 2 continuously in zone 1.

Figure 17 C representes the content example of heading message, is and identical content such as Figure 15 C.Figure 17 D representes the content example of a part of FS data, and the part relevant with the program data of program 1 is shown.Record configuration information explicitly with the data name of program 1, this configuration information is made up of the program data of program 1 expression zone 1 and the first address and the size of the present position of zone 2 on virtual disk and CD constitute.Through with reference to configuration information, thereby can carry out access to the program data that writes down on the CD.

In addition; The content of configuration information and virtual disk mapping are equal to; Through with reference to the mapping in the storage area of the storage part 12 that utilizes the virtual disk mapping that comprises in mapping (enum) data and the configuration information to be associated, thereby can carry out access to the program data of storing in the storage part 12.

In addition, in above explanation, explanation for ease, numerical value decimally shows address and size of data, but the numerical value beyond the decimal system such as the hexadecimal numerical value of in fact most employing come management address and size of data.

Recording apparatus 1 can come program for playback based on the program data of record on the CD 6 after finishing synchronous processing.The operation of telepilot 5 being scheduled to through the user; Thereby telepilot acceptance division 33 is accepted the sign on that program playback is handled; Video recording/playback control part 24 makes video display devices 4 display programs select picture, and this program selects picture to be used for the program that will reset from the represented program selection of the program data of CD 6 records.Figure 18 is the figure that schematically illustrated program is selected an example of picture.
