Description

Automatic registration and de-registration method for recording disk

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of registration and deregistration technologies of external discs of PVRs, and in particular, to an automatic registration and deregistration method for recording discs.

Background

A personal video recorder (Personal video recorder, PVR) is a device that records television broadcast programs for later viewing. Most of the outsourced televisions support PVR recording functions except for north american markets. During recording, when the internal memory provided by the PVR may not meet the requirements of some users, the PVR will use a computer disk drive to connect an external disk drive to the PVR as a storage medium to increase the capacity of the storage.

The PVR records the external disk with requirements of speed, format, etc., so before selecting the recording disk, the external disk needs to be subjected to a disk registration test, which generally includes a speed test, a format test, etc., and the external disk registered through the disk appears in the recording selection list for the user to select the recording disk when recording the PVR. If there are no longer used discs, the user may de-register part of the recorded disc to remove the useless recording disc option.

At present, the disc registration and disc de-registration processes require the user to actively go to a menu for setting, so that the user often interrupts the recording process due to the need of registering the disc in the PVR recording process, thereby increasing the complexity of the recording process and reducing the use feeling of the user. In addition, the operation of disk de-registration is limited to deleting the registration information of the disk, and the information of the disk in the record selection list is not deleted, so that the un-deleted registration information often interferes with the selection of the record disk by a user.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides an automatic recording disk registration and de-registration method, which aims to solve the problems that the prior disk registration and disk de-registration processes require a user to actively go to a menu to set, so that the recording process is complicated and the use feeling of the user is reduced.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for automatically registering a recording disc, including:

when an external disk is detected, ID information and format content of the external disk are obtained;

judging whether the external disk is registered as a recording disk or not by using ID information of the external disk, and judging whether the format content of the external disk has a registration trace or not;

if the external disk ID is registered, outputting prompt information of the registered recording disk, and ending the registration;

if the external disk ID is unregistered and a registration trace exists, outputting a prompt message of unregistering; when a re-registration instruction of a user is received within a preset waiting time, adding the related registration information in the registration trace to a recording disk registration menu;

if the external disk ID is not registered and no registration trace exists, outputting prompt information of new disk registration; when a registration instruction of a user is received within a preset waiting time, carrying out disk initialization and disk registration test on the disk;

when the registration is successful, outputting prompt information set as a priority recording disk;

when the network is connected and automatic recording is not set, outputting prompt information for starting the automatic recording.

In some embodiments, the method for automatically registering a recording disk further includes ending registration when a registration instruction or a re-registration instruction of a user is not received within a preset waiting time.

In some embodiments, the method for automatically registering a recording disk further includes outputting a prompt message of a reason of the registration failure when the registration fails.

In some embodiments, the determining whether the external disk is registered as a recording disk by using ID information of the external disk includes determining whether the ID of the external disk is already present in a recording disk registration menu, and if the ID of the external disk is already present in the recording disk registration menu, determining that the external disk is registered as a recording disk; if the external disk does not exist in the recording disk registration menu, the external disk is judged to be not registered as the recording disk.

In some embodiments, the disk registration test includes a speed test and a format test.

In a second aspect, the present application further provides a method for automatically de-registering a recording disc, including:

obtaining disc information of all discs in a recording disc registration menu, wherein the disc information comprises a disc registration number, a disc state and a state supplement description, the disc state comprises registered and unregistered, and the registered state comprises in-connection, unconnected and removable;

acquiring detail information of a registered recording disk, wherein the detail information comprises a disk registration name, a disk equipment name and recording reservation information;

when no recording reservation exists in the recording disk, deleting the recording disk from the recording disk registration menu;

when recording reservation exists in the recording disk, outputting prompt information of recording reservation in the recording disk.

In some embodiments, when a recording reservation exists in the recording disk, a prompt message of the recording reservation in the recording disk is output, which specifically includes,

when recording reservation exists in the recording disk and no other recording disks in registered states exist in the recording disk registration menu, outputting prompt information of recording reservation of the recording disk, and outputting prompt information of logging in the recording disk again before recording starts.

In some embodiments, when a recording reservation exists in the recording disk, a prompt message of the recording reservation in the recording disk is output, which specifically includes,

when recording reservation exists in the recording disk and other recording disks in registered states exist in the recording disk registration menu, outputting prompt information of recording reservation of the recording disk, and outputting prompt information of modifying the reserved recording disk before recording starts.

The application provides an automatic registration and de-registration method for a recording disk, which automatically starts a registration process for a detected external disk, avoids the trouble of manually registering the disk by a user, simplifies the recording setting process, solves the problem of interrupting the recording process because of the need of registering the disk, and improves the use experience of the user. In the automatic de-registration process of the recording disk, the recording information of the recording disk is deleted from the recording disk registration menu, so that the problem that the user is interfered to wrongly select the recording disk because the registration information in the recording disk registration menu is not deleted is avoided. In addition, corresponding prompt information is given according to whether other available recording disks exist, so that recording failure caused by de-registration is avoided.
