Abstract

Verfahren zur Programmierung eines Empfängers, insbesondere eines Videorecorders, auf Empfang und/oder Aufzeichnung bestimmter Sendungen. Die die einzelnen Sendungen angebenden Schriftzeilen (17) werden zeitlich nacheinander jeweils für einen bestimmten Zeitraum für den Bedienenden erkennbar modifiziert. Der Befehl für die Eingabe der Kennwerte der Sendung der modifizierten Schriftzeile (17c) wird während des zugeordneten Zeitraums ausgelöst. Dadurch wird die bei der Hauptanmeldung verwendete, gesonderte Markierung nicht mehr benötigt.Method for programming a receiver, in particular a video recorder, to receive and/or record certain programs. The text lines (17) indicating the individual programs are modified one after the other for a specific period of time in a way that is recognizable to the operator. The command for entering the characteristics of the program of the modified text line (17c) is triggered during the assigned period of time. As a result, the separate marking used in the main registration is no longer required.

Description

Das Hauptpatent betrifft ein Verfahren zur Programmierung eines Empfängers, insbesondere eines Videorecorders, auf Empfang und/oder Aufzeichnung bestimmter Sendungen, bei dem Kennwerte wie Sendeanstalt, Wochentag, Anfangs- und Endzeit in einen Speicher des Empfängers eingegeben werden.The main patent relates to a method for programming a receiver, in particular a video recorder, to receive and/or record certain broadcasts, in which characteristic values such as broadcaster, day of the week, start and end time are entered into a memory of the receiver.

Der Erfindung nach dem Hauptpatent liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Programmierung eines Empfängers zu schaffen, das ohne Hilfsmittel wie z. B. Barcodes in einer Funkzeitschrift und Lichtgriffel arbeitet und auch von einer ungeübten Person leicht durchführbar ist.The invention according to the main patent is based on the object of creating a method for programming a receiver which works without aids such as barcodes in a radio magazine and light pen and can also be easily carried out by an untrained person.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß bei Empfang eines Videotextsignals für Tafeln mit Programmanzeige in einem Fernsehempfänger mit Videotextdecoder auf dem Bildschirm eine vom Bedienenden auf die gewünschte Sendung einstellbare Markierung eingeblendet und danach ein Befehl ausgelöst wird, der die Eingabe der Kennwerte dieser Sendung in den Speicher bewirkt.This object is achieved in that, when a teletext signal for pages with program display is received in a television receiver with a teletext decoder, a marker which can be set by the operator to the desired program is displayed on the screen and then a command is triggered which causes the characteristics of this program to be entered into the memory.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Verfahren nach der Hauptanmeldung so weiterzubilden, daß die Einblendung einer zusätzlichen Markierung auf dem Bildschirm nicht erforderlich ist.The present invention is based on the object of developing the method according to the main application in such a way that the display of an additional marking on the screen is not necessary.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 beschriebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the invention described in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

In der Firmenzeitschrift "Technische Informationen für die Industrie" von VALVO, Nr. 800 407, April 1980 wird das Videotextsystem mit seinen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten einschließlich der Übermittlung von Programmtafeln beschrieben. Dort sind insbesondere auf Seite 15 auch Steuerwörter beschrieben, die z. B. eine Steuerung der Wiedergabefarbe, Wahl von alphanumerischen oder graphischen Zeichen, eine Untertitelung oder eine blinkende Wiedergabe von Textteilen veranlassen. Die Programmierung des Empfängers auf bestimmte Sendungen unter Ausnutzung der mit Videotext auf dem Fernsehempfänger dargestellten Programmtafeln und die Auslösung der Programmierbefehle bei Markierung bestimmter Zeilen der Programmtafeln werden dort jedoch nicht behandelt.The company magazine "Technical Information for Industry" from VALVO, No. 800 407, April 1980, describes the videotext system and its possible applications, including the transmission of program tables. There, in particular on page 15, control words are also described which, for example, control the display color, select alphanumeric or graphic characters, add subtitles or flash display parts of text. However, the programming of the receiver for specific programs using the program tables displayed on the television receiver with videotext and the triggering of programming commands when certain lines of the program tables are marked are not covered there.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird also nicht eine zusätzliche Markierung vor den Schriftzeilen eingeblendet. Vielmehr melden sich die einzelnen Schriftzeilen für den Bedienenden erkennbar zeitlich nacheinander für einen bestimmten Zeitraum. Wenn während dieses Zeitraums der Befehl für die Eingabe der Kennwerte manuell ausgelöst wird, so werden die Kennwerte der Sendung dieser modifizierten Schriftzeile in den Speicher eingegeben. Der Bedienende muß zwar warten, bis die Schriftzeile der gewünschten Sendung nach dem zeitlichen Zyklus selbsttätig modifiziert wird. Dies ist jedoch kein Nachteil, da ohnehin auf einer Schrifttafel nur wenige Sendungen dargestellt werden und der Zeitraum für die Dauer der Markierung nur wenige Sekunden zu betragen braucht. Wenn der Bedienende die Auslösung des Befehls für die Programmierung während des Zeitraumes der gewünschten Sendung verpaßt, kann er die Programmierung beim nächsten zyklischen Durchlauf der Modifizierung der Schriftzeilen nachholen.In the solution according to the invention, an additional marking is not displayed in front of the text lines. Instead, the individual text lines appear in a way that is recognizable to the operator, one after the other, over a specific period of time. If the command for entering the parameters is manually triggered during this period, the parameters of the transmission of this modified text line are entered into the memory. The operator does have to wait until the text line of the desired transmission is automatically modified according to the time cycle. However, this is not a disadvantage, since only a few transmissions are shown on a text board anyway and the period for the duration of the marking only needs to be a few seconds. If the operator misses the triggering of the command for programming during the period of the desired transmission, he can catch up on the programming during the next cyclic run of the modification of the text lines.

Für den Zeitraum reicht eine Zeit in der Größenanordnung von 2-8 s, da der Bedienende im allgemeinen schon weiß, welche Sendung er programmieren möchte und die Auslösung des Befehls nur durch Betätigung einer Taste erfolgen kann.A time period of 2-8 seconds is sufficient, since the operator usually already knows which program he wants to program and the command can only be triggered by pressing a button.

Für die Modifizierung der Schriftzeilen in dem Sinne, daß sich jeweils eine Schriftzeile von den anderen erkennbar abhebt, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten. Die Modifizierung kann dadurch erfolgen, daß die Farbe der Schriftzeichen geändert wird und sich von der Farbe der übrigen Schriftzeilen abhebt. Die Schriftzeile kann auch zum Blinken veranlaßt, gesperrt gedruckt, unterstrichen oder in Zeilenrichtung gegenüber den anderen Schriftzeilen versetzt geschrieben werden. Es ist auch möglich, die Form oder Größe der Schriftzeilen zu beeinflussen. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Modifizierung nur für die Uhrzeit, weil diese für den Bedienenden ausreicht und die Uhrzeit das Hauptkriterium für die Programmierung ist.There are a number of ways of modifying the text lines so that each text line stands out from the others. The modification can be made by changing the color of the characters so that they stand out from the color of the other text lines. The text line can also be made to flash, printed in bold, underlined or offset in line direction from the other text lines. It is also possible to influence the shape or size of the text lines. Preferably, the modification is made only for the time because this is sufficient for the operator and the time is the main criterion for programming.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand der Zeichnung erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

Die Figur zeigt einen Fernsehempfänger 1 mit dem Bildschirm 2, der Lautsprecheröffnung 3, dem Fernbedienungsempfänger 4, den Anzeigeelementen 5 und den Bedienungselementen 6. Der Fernsehempfänger 1 ist mit einem Videotextdecoder ausgerüstet. Auf dem Bildschirm 2 werden durch Auswertung eines Videotextsignals für Programmtafeln in einzelnen Schriftzeilen 17 verschiedene Sendungen eines bestimmten Tages und einer bestimmten Sendeanstalt angezeigt. An Hand der angezeigten Daten könnte z. B. in bekannter Weise die Programmierung eines Videorecorders durch manuelle Eingabe dieser Daten erfolgen. Der Fernsehempfänger 1 ist mit der Fernbedieneinheit 7 durch Betätigung verschiedener Bedienungselemente 8 über den Infrarot-Lichtstrahl 9 und den Fernbedienungsempfänger 4 hinsichtlich seiner einzelnen Funktionen fernbedienbar.The figure shows a television receiver 1 with the Screen 2 , the loudspeaker opening 3 , the remote control receiver 4 , the display elements 5 and the operating elements 6. The television receiver 1 is equipped with a videotext decoder. By evaluating a videotext signal for program boards in individual lines of text 17 , different programs from a specific day and a specific broadcaster are displayed on the screen 2. Using the data displayed, a video recorder could, for example, be programmed in a known manner by manually entering this data. The television receiver 1 can be remotely controlled with regard to its individual functions using the remote control unit 7 by operating various operating elements 8 via the infrared light beam 9 and the remote control receiver 4 .

Durch eine zusätzliche Steuerschaltung werden die einzelnen Schriftzeilen 17 zeitlich nacheinander jeweils für einen Zeitraum von etwa 2-8 s modifiziert, derart, daß sie sich für den Bedienenden deutlich von allen übrigen Schriftzeilen unterscheiden. In der Figur ist die dritte Schriftzeile mit 17 c der Uhrzeit 21.15 Uhr dadurch modifiziert und erkennbar, daß die Uhrzeit nach links versetzt geschrieben wird. Während der Zeit dieser Versetzung betätigt der Bedienende die Taste 14. Daraufhin werden die Kennwerte der Sendung der Schriftzeile 17 c automatisch in den Speicher eingegeben.An additional control circuit modifies the individual text lines 17 one after the other for a period of about 2-8 seconds in such a way that they are clearly distinguishable from all other text lines for the operator. In the figure, the third text line with 17 c of the time 9:15 p.m. is modified and can be recognized by the time being written offset to the left. During this offset, the operator presses the key 14 . The characteristics of the transmission of the text line 17 c are then automatically entered into the memory.

Die Sendung zusätzlicher Steuerbits für die Kennwerte und die Eingabe der Kennwerte in den Speicher nach Betätigung der Taste 14 erfolgen wie bei der Hauptanmeldung.The transmission of additional control bits for the characteristic values and the entry of the characteristic values into the memory after pressing key 14 are carried out in the same way as for the main registration.

Die im Videotextdecoder gewonnenen Signale können auch über die Leitung 15 zur Programmierung des Videorecorders 16 verwendet werden.The signals obtained in the teletext decoder can also be used via line 15 to program the video recorder 16 .

Die Dauer des Zeitraumes, während der sich eine Schriftzeile abhebt, ist vorzugsweise einstellbar, um sie den persönlichen Wünschen und der Reaktionszeit des Bedienenden anzupassen. Ebenso kann die Art der Modifizierung der Schriftzeile vom Bedienenden nach subjektiven Wünschen einstellbar sein.The duration of the period during which a line of text is highlighted is preferably adjustable in order to adapt it to the personal preferences and reaction time of the operator. The type of modification of the line of text can also be adjusted by the operator according to subjective preferences.
