Detailed Description of the Invention
25 The term 'video broadcast' should be taken to mean the broadcasting of moving images with or without associated audio.
Recording device' should be taken to mean any recording device for recording moving images such as a DVD recorder, a video-cassette recorder or other hard disk 30 recorder. Referring to figure 1 this communication device is a means through which tile user is able to activate the inbuilt timers on their video recording devices such as DVD
( 7 recorders, VCR's or hard disk recorders whilst being a substantial distance away from the recording device.
The communication device could be manufactured in to new video recording 5 devices or it is attached to existing recording devices or placed in close proximity to existing recording devices. By using wireless technology or a fixed line such as an Asyrnrnetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) it will be possible for the user to record selected programme(s). This communication device will enable the user to activate their video recording device to record chosen television programmes while 10 away from their home.
It is intended that the user will select a programme of his or her choice from a programme schedule viewed via the internet on their mobile telephone, personal computer, palm top computer or alternatively via traditional media such as 15 newspapers and magazines.
The user will be able to select a programme from a programme schedule and be able to record selected video broadcasts by sending an instruction to their communication device located in their home which will interpret and in turn instruct the video 20 recording device.
The users instruction could be sent in the form of a text message from their mobile phone handset or e-mail from a personal computer/palm top computer or a verbal instruction to inst,ct a pal.icula, proga,lle to 'oe e(;urueu. This will make use or 25 existing communication technology and networks to transmit the required message.
The instruction could be a coded message using the existing 'Videoplus' system or similar coded system. The instruction will be received, stored and acted upon by the communication device referred to above. The communication device will essentially 30 set the timer on the users recording device by transmitting the relevant data. As previously mentioned this communication device will be located either in the
recording device or attached to the side of the recording device or be located somewhere in close proximity to the recording device.
The communication device could also be fitted with voice recognition technology.
5 This will enable the user to simply call up from their mobile telephone or landline telephone and verbally instruct their communication device to activate their recording device to record their chosen video broadcasts.
The communication device will be able to read, understand and store information in 10 a variety of fonns. It will be capable of storing a number of instructions by the use of a SIM card or similar technology to store and relay the required information. The communication device will then activate instructions at the correct time(s) to record the user's selected video broadcasts.
15 The user could be anywhere in the world when they decide to record a video broadcast. By simply accessing and selecting from a video broadcast programme schedule viewed over the internet or via traditional media they will be able to select and record video broadcasts they would have otherwise missed such as live sporting events, films, soap operas etc. Video broadcasts from all digital, cable and terrestrial 20 television or broadcasts over the internet could be recorded.
Figure 1 shows the principle workings of the communication device having the capability to acknowledge instructions sent by the user by sending a message back either immediately or alternatively at a later time once the selected programme has 25 been successfully recorded.
It will of course be understood that the present invention has been described above purely by way of example, and modifications of detail can be made within the scope of the invention.
