Abstract
The present invention relates to a television calendar arranged in a time matrix mode of a channel / date, which is provided with a vertical column of bar codes and a horizontal column of bar codes, wherein the vertical column of bar codes are coded to represent a vertical column of channel marks and are arranged close to a vertical column of channel marks; the horizontal column of bar codes are coded to represent a horizontal row to show a time mark of the beginning date of a television program and are arranged close to a horizontal row to show a time mark of the beginning date of a television program. The channels arranged in the vertical direction can be reversed with the time of the date arranged in the horizontal direction. A covering layer of transparent drawing paper, printed with bar codes in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, can be used with a common television program menu.
Description
The present invention relates to a kind of bar code reader, it is that video cassette recorder (VCR) preprogramming is to record a specific TV programme that this bar code reader is used to by timer.
Just adopted the VCR that has bar code program arrangement (BCP) performance several years ago.Desirable situation is to print a bar code in the back of each TV programme, and it represents channel, date, time and length information (CDTL information).Anyly want to record the people of an appointment television as long as bar code reader is laterally streaked corresponding bar code, VCR will automatically be set so that recording TV program.Yet, the publication of any regular sale (TV newspaper, CATV (cable television) newspaper or newspaper) printed bar code not after any important component part of each program or listed program.This is may be 2 to 3 inches long, 1/3 to 1/2 inch high because comprise a bar code of CDTL information.For at bar code of the back of each TV programme printing, just need the big quantity space of dispensing.Because TV programme quantity is big and publication costs an arm and a leg, this plan is difficult to possible economically.
In fact, BCP seller sells the printed matter of the bar code independent groups that includes channel, date, time and length, and require the user at first from the TV guide of showing GDTL information, to check in, by bar code reader laterally being streaked section suitable in the bar code list CDTL information is imported then.This process is fulsome, because it relates to TV newspaper and bar code list, and the quite a large amount of eye-hand of needs moves and coordinates.
Some BCP seller sells the handbook that only the limited selection of program is partly with bar code of limited quantity.Adopt these printed matters, the user can reach the original purpose that recorded program is wanted in once input.Regrettably the coverage of these handbooks and lazy weight are so that BCP is universal.
A kind of VCR that has the bar code program arrangement especially is the Panasonic pv-4020 that is made by the PANASONIC in Tokyo city, its allow to adopt a bar code scanner in during January be 4 independently automatically video program.
For using Panasonic PV4020 bar code scanner, mode selection switch is placed " scanning " position and the clock on the VCR is placed the correct time.The user searches in regular list of television programmes and wants preprogrammed program then.Then the scanner power knob is pressed " opening ", and the user is independently scanned date, start time, stand-by time and channel the bar code programme from one.The bar code programme has the bar code on each possible date (1-31) in a middle of the month, have and be spaced apart 5 minutes bar codes in 12 o'clock to afternoon in the morning from each possible start time at 11 o'clock, have the bar code of each possible stand-by time of same form and the bar code of the channel (00-99) that each is possible.When all these information are correctly imported, can hear a plurality of beep sounds from scanner.Then, the user can face toward scanner VGR and press transmission button so that the period that has been scanned, start time, stand-by time and channel information are sent to VCR.VCR will send the beep sound of a series of affirmations.The demonstration of meeting appearance programme content in 15 second on TV screen then.When showing, this programme content can remove the program that is transmitted as pressing reset button.
If program is input correctly not, then 15 seconds can appear in this result's information on TV screen when pressing transmission button.The user can be scanned " removing " bar code in programme then, then scans date, start time, stand-by time and channel bar code once more to re-enter program.After correctly importing bar code, the user turns to " pass " to the scanner power knob, VCR is set at uses the timer preprogramming like this.
By scanning " every day " bar code, the user can also be in the video recording of identical time every day, and perhaps by scanning " weekly " bar code, the user can be on the same day identical time video recording weekly.
If the user wishes to check program arrangement, the user can press " inspection " button on the bar code scanner.To show that on TV screen whole program list and top line will flash.If the user continues to press review button, each program numbers will be flashed in order.When the 4th program numbers flashed, if by " inspection " button, the demonstration on the TV screen will be got back to normal tv channel accepting state.In checking mode, when a programme is flashing, can delete this programme by " removing " button of pressing on the bar code scanner.
The prior art that can clearly be seen that the bar code program arrangement from existing explanation is inconvenient, and the user is manual from independent bar code list to be selected the suitable bar code of chosen program and need quite a large amount of eye-hands to move and coordinate because prior art requires.
The present invention is the new equipment of a format TV newspaper, and it can be shown to bar code information the user of bar code program arrangement (BCP) easily, but does not take very large space, thereby makes that a large amount of printed bar code information are practicable economically.
CDTL information and TV newspaper that the form of careful ruleization allows to exist with bar code form become one, BCP user can be intuitively and is easily read CDTL information like this, and the information that allows these bar codeizations directly and intuitively with the table format that the TV newspaper occurs in each program interrelate, make the user needn't go for independent bar code list like this and obtain this information.
Bar code and program are arranged with the form of row-Column Layout, and its mid band bar code is arranged along column direction, and the time bar code on date follows direction and arrange, and perhaps vice versa.Bar code in such a month, and on such a day is positioned at any position of list.The program length table of bar code can also be provided in programme, and start time that perhaps can be by the next program date of scanning on same channel is with the time on the date that obtains stopping recording a video.Length information can be absolute or stack, the user can be scanned the bar code of a representative as 3 hours absolute time like this, perhaps represent 1 hour bar code three times for one of the time scan of stack, the result produces 3 hours video time altogether.
In some cases, the printing quality of bar code requires too high concerning common newspaper.More efficient methods is to use a single-layer and transparent plotting paper, and this template is that each issue television newspaper adopts prolonged material and the acute art of high-quality seal, and when being placed on this template on the TV programme form, this template can provide CDTL information.Because date and time information only stamps once every day, so date and time information can be printed on each page or leaf of TV newspaper near TV programme form place with enough big block letter.On each page, have the TV programme form on date and the template of a time bar code that has channel bar code and date and unite use.Also can from independent " date that this is all " or " date of this month " table, scan the date in addition.
From detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings, can more be expressly understood the present invention with and advantage.

Fig. 9 represents a template cap rock that is used for the bar code program arrangement, and wherein transverse axis is time and Z-axis is a channel.
Figure 10 represents a template cap rock that is used for the bar code program arrangement, and wherein transverse axis is a channel and Z-axis is the time.
Figure 11 represents a bar code table that allows the user to determine the video recording date.
Figure 12 is a TV programme calendar, and on television calendar, be printed with the date bar code, this TV programme calendar can use with the template cap rock that is used for the bar code program arrangement, the template cap rock has the channel bar code along the free bar code of transverse axis along Z-axis as shown in Figure 9.
With reference now to accompanying drawing,, especially accompanying drawing 1, represented a matrix form bar code calendar 10 of the present invention among the figure.Leftmost row are vertical row of a channel bar code 12, and the row of top is the horizontal line of the time bar code 14 on a date, and these vertical row bar codes and horizontal line bar code correspond respectively to and represent the channel labelling 16 of homeotropic alignment and the time mark 18 on horizontal date.In matrix form bar code calendar 10, arrange to have the descriptor 20 of program, thereby these descriptors 20 align with channel labelling 16 and the program start time represented with the time mark 18 on date suitably.Each matrix form bar code calendar 10 has a date stamp 22, wherein date stamp mark 26 that ingredient is this day of this month.As shown in Figure 1, date stamp 22 is on July 20th, 1991, Saturday.The mark 26 of this of this month day is July 20.On the next door of date stamp 22 are bar codes 24 of the one day in month, and it represents the mark 26 of this day of this month.
Matrix form bar code calendar 10 can also have a program length bar code table 30, and it comprises a series of with hour program length mark of demarcation 32 and corresponding a series of program length bar codes 34.Can also have a series of with minute program length mark of demarcation 36 and corresponding program length bar code 38.
Use Panasonic PV-4020 for to scan in a program, the user will find the program that will record a video by reading matrix form bar code calendar 10.Suppose that the user has selected " blue thunder and lightning " (Blue Thunder), it begins and the 10:30 end at CMAX channel, 9:00.Then, the user uses a scanner 50 shown in Fig. 6 b, scans a specific bar code 51 in mode shown in Figure 5.At the scan start point shown in Fig. 5 52 as scan start point.When scanning bar code, the user presses the button 56 on the scanner 50.Opened barcode reading lamp 54 like this.
In order to give the VCR preprogramming recording film " blue thunder and lightning " 39 (see figure 1)s, the user is at first scanned this day bar code 24 in month, scans the start time bar code 40 of this day then.The next bar code that is scanned depends on how system moves.If wish to obtain the stand-by time of this day, then scan the stand-by time bar code 42 of this day, this stand-by time is exactly (beginning) time of this day at the next program of same channel.For some system, Panasnic PV-4020 for example, what wish input is that the length face of program is not the stand-by time of this day.By scanning in hour program length bar code 43 (subsequently and then in minute program length bar code 44, shown in Fig. 1 b), the project that can provide the length of program will scan at last is a channel, and on behalf of the channel bar code 41 of GMAX, this can obtain by scanning.
Therefore, the user should not abandon matrix form bar code calendar 10, because arranged needed all information for the user easily on this calendar 10.In case when suitable bar code all was scanned, shown in Fig. 6 a and 6b, the user points to video cassette recorder (VCR) 70 to scanner 50, and presses transmission button 58.If program is imported rightly, the televisor that then is connected on the VCR will have a demonstration of confirming the VCR program arrangement on screen, show the programme information 74 that is transmitted as shown in Figure 7.Televisor returns to normal television channel then with the 74 a bit of times of programme information that demonstration is transmitted.If the program input is improper, then on televisor, show a warning, the user can please remove bar code scanner by scan reset bar code 48 (as shown in Figure 4), rescans the program bar code then.
When if the user wishes to check the program of programmed preparation video recording, the user just presses the review button 60 on the scanner 50, and this just makes the televisor that is connected on the VCR have one to show so that check and/or remove the program 76 (as shown in Figure 8) of pre-programmed on screen.If top line will flash and the user wishes to delete this program, the user is by just achieving the goal by reset button 62.By pressing check key 60 users can use the vortex pattern decoration between program continuously.After last program, press check key 60 at last and will return to normal channel to TV.
The user can determine that in the identical time weekly be a program recording, this is very useful to being weekly the continuous program recording of playing, the method of determining is date bar code 46 weekly of scanning, as shown in Figure 2 this bar code 46 representatives and corresponding to a date stamp 45 weekly.By scanning as shown in Figure 3 one every day bar code 47, the user can determine that in the identical time of every day be a program recording, this records a video for the soap opera that inserts for every day is very useful.
As mentioned above, the printing quality of bar code requires too high concerning general newspaper.More efficient methods is a matrix form bar code calendar cap rock 80 that adopts as shown in Figure 9, this matrix form bar code calendar cap rock 80 adopts prolonged material and high-quality printing technology, and can provide CDTL information above it is placed on the television calendar form time.On cap rock 80, the channel bar code 82 of vertical direction is arranged in the row corresponding to channel labelling 86, and the time bar code 84 on the date of horizontal direction is arranged in the delegation corresponding to the time mark 84 on date.Cap rock as shown in Figure 9 represents to be printed on channel 86 and the time on date 88 on this cap rock; Yet, as long as the user knows how to aim at cap rock and television calendar, these channel 86 and times on date 88 that are printed on the cap rock are optional, television calendar can identical as shown in Figure 1 mode be arranged, just do not have a channel bar code 12 vertical to and the horizontal line of the time bar code 14 on date.If do not print the date bar code 24 in month yet, the date table in a month as shown in figure 11 then should be provided, the date stamp 100 in month and the date bar code 102 in the month of correspondence are arranged on this table, this will allow scanning this date of this month.
Cap rock and television calendar can be arranged as shown in Figure 10, and wherein dated time bar code 92 of vertical direction and horizontal direction have channel bar code 94, and their are distinguished correspondence and represent the time mark 96 and the channel labelling 98 on date.This arrangement also can be applied to matrix form bar code calendar 10.It should be noted that: bar code as shown in Figure 1a crosses the top of calendar and the bar code vertically left side at television calendar by convention; Yet, the right side that these bar codes can cross the bottom of television calendar equally easily and be positioned at television calendar.
This date bar code 24 in month can directly be printed on television calendar and every page last (as shown in figure 12) of every day, because only print it once every day, thereby can print it enough greatly.This is with regard to avoided may the problem relevant with printing quality.This calendar can use with a cap rock as shown in Figure 9, and this cap rock can provide the time bar code 84 on the date of the channel bar code 82 of vertical direction and horizontal direction.Another advantage of this type calendar is that it can remind the user: the highlighting of this date bar code by month can obtain the bar code program arrangement.The user can be scanned the bar code of this date, channel, start time and the stand-by time (it is identical with the start time of next program in the same channel) in month.Also can lean on bar code suitable among the scintigram 1b (bar code table of program length) in addition and the length of input program.
Be appreciated that the present invention and many attendant advantages thereof from the foregoing description, and clearly can make all advantages that various changes are not left spirit of the present invention and scope or abandoned its material to shape, structure and arrangement and the method for the present invention of parts of the present invention, previously described form only is preferred or typical embodiment of the present invention.
