Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a CD, a CD-R
(CD that can be recorded only once), CD-RW, DVD, M
The present invention relates to a dubbing apparatus that records data recorded on a recording medium such as D on another recording medium such as a CD-RW, DVD, or MD, a method of controlling the dubbing apparatus, and a recording medium that records a control program therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional dubbing apparatus, for example, C
Some include a D mechanism section, an MD mechanism section, and a control section for controlling the whole, and can dub from a CD to an MD. The CD mechanism unit reproduces a plurality of songs recorded (recorded) on a CD (hereinafter, also referred to as “a plurality of songs on a CD”) in a track order (recorded order). In addition, a so-called program reproduction can be performed in which only a desired one of the plurality of music pieces is selected from the plurality of music pieces and the order of reproduction can be changed if necessary. on the other hand,
During dubbing, the MD mechanism section controls the C section by the control section.
In addition to so-called synchronized recording synchronized with the D mechanism, so-called manual recording is also possible.

In the synchronized recording, a plurality of songs in a CD reproduced in the song order are recorded as they are, or a plurality of songs in a CD reproduced in the program are recorded as they are.

As a conventional technique, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-162646 discloses a dubbing apparatus for an optical disk. This dubbing device is used for automatically recording additional information of each song on an optical disc, or for duplicating information by erasing a recorded track even if there is no unrecorded portion of the optical disc being recorded. It is possible to record the track number of each music reproduced from the recording medium in an arbitrary order different from the reproduction order.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-313380 discloses an apparatus which is not related to dubbing but is related to editing. This device is equipped with a plurality of readable and writable discs, a disc having a continuous playback function of continuously playing back a plurality of discs among the loaded discs, and an editing function of allowing a user to change management information on the discs. In the recording / playback apparatus, a user can edit a disc being played back while continuous playback is being performed, while playing back the disc.

[0006]

However, for example, when dubbing only necessary songs from a CD to be heard for the first time to an MD, there are the following problems.

When dubbing only the necessary songs by manual recording while listening to the songs while playing back the CD in the order of the tracks, the dubbing is temporarily stopped when a song that does not need to be recorded appears on the way. That is, while the recording is stopped, the reproduction is also stopped. Since songs that do not need to be recorded have been recorded up to the middle of the song or completely to the end of the song, the songs that do not need to be recorded must be deleted and dubbing must be resumed. At the time of this resumption, set the program playback so that the song that does not need to be recorded is played from the next song, or perform the song skip operation while playing from the beginning to play from the song following the unnecessary song. There is a need to. When a song that does not need to be recorded appears again after the restart, the same repetition as described above is performed, and the trouble is large.

If the total time of all songs on the CD is longer than the time of the unrecorded area of the MD, for example, even if a song that does not need to be recorded appears on the way, it is once recorded and the dubbing of all the songs is completed. After that, it is possible to delete songs that do not need to be recorded. However, there is a restriction that the erasing operation needs to be performed after the dubbing of all the songs has been completed, and that it is possible if the total time of all the songs in the CD is longer than the time of the unrecorded area of the MD.

[0009] In the case of the optical disk described in JP-A-6-162646, in which recording can be continued by erasing a recorded track even when the unrecorded portion of the optical disk is lost, there is no unrecorded portion. It is not a very effective device if you want to actively delete songs that do not need to be recorded, because they will not work if you do not.

On the other hand, in the case of dubbing by program reproduction and synchro-recording, the user listens in advance to all songs on the CD to check for songs that do not require recording, programs the order of the songs, and performs actual dubbing. You will spend more time. In other words, it is not always from the beginning to the end of each song, but all songs are played once, and the songs that need to be recorded require time for recording (dubbing) for the time of the songs. is there. At first, it was thought that the song was not a song that does not require recording. However, if the song was considered to be a song that does not require recording during dubbing, it is necessary to delete the song after dubbing has been completed.

It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a dubbing apparatus capable of smoothly dubbing only necessary data, a control method thereof, and a recording medium recording a control program therefor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A dubbing device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part of a dubbing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart of software processed by a microcomputer used in the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. .

The dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention reproduces a plurality of songs (data) recorded (recorded) on a CD 10 as a recording medium one by one (1 data = 1 track) and performs another recording. Recording (recording) on MD20 as a medium
A dubbing device, comprising: a CD mechanism unit 100;
Mechanism unit 200 and input unit 300 for operating these
And a display unit 40 for displaying an operation state of the input unit 300, an operation state of the CD mechanism unit 100 and the MD mechanism unit 200, and the like.
0 and a control unit 500 for controlling these.

The dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is different from the conventional dubbing apparatus in that the control unit 500 records a control program for realizing a control method of the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. Is provided. Regarding the same parts as those of the related art, only the related parts will be briefly described below.

The CD mechanism 100 is a device for reproducing the CD 10. The MD mechanism unit 200 is a device that records on the MD 20.

The input section 300 is a main body side input section (not shown). Usually, a remote control transmitter (not shown) and the like are also provided, but the description thereof is omitted, and only the main body side input unit will be described below.

The input section on the main body side includes switches such as a reproduction switch, a pause switch, and a stop switch for the CD mechanism section 100, switches such as a reproduction switch, a pause switch, and a stop switch for the MD mechanism section 200, and a CD. Mechanism 1
A song skip switch and a song return switch, which are dual-purpose switches for the 00 and the MD mechanism unit 200, and a function switch and an enter switch for dubbing and the like are provided.

The control section 500 is composed of a microcomputer, an ASIC, or the like, and includes a CPU section, a memory section, and the like. The memory unit stores a predetermined control program relating to dubbing unique to the present invention, in addition to a program relating to conventional control. That is, a part of the memory unit is a recording medium on which a control program for realizing the control method of the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is recorded. When the enter switch is pressed after the function switch is pressed a predetermined number of times, the control unit 500
Is configured to enter a predetermined dubbing mode according to the predetermined control program.

The predetermined control program stores a CD 10 on which a plurality of songs (data) are recorded as one song (1 data = 1).
Track) (playback in the order of songs or program playback), while recording the song being played back on the MD 20, or
After the end of the playback of the song (that is, the end of the recording of the song), if the input unit 300 inputs that dubbing is unnecessary,
The recording of the song is erased, and then the next song is reproduced, while the MD 20 records the next song so that only necessary songs are dubbed.

The above-mentioned predetermined control program will be described below in further detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Playback (track playback or program playback) is started one song (one track) at a time from the CD 10 on which a plurality of songs are recorded, while the MD 20 starts recording the song being played and then ends the track. It is determined whether it is performed (S1). If the track is not completed (ie, No), the display section 400 displays “Erase” to ask the user whether or not the song is to be erased in the middle of the song (ie, whether dubbing is unnecessary). Do you want to do? (Middle) ”is displayed (S2).

On the other hand, when the user determines that dubbing is unnecessary and presses the enter switch, the input unit 300
Input that no dubbing is required (ie, Ye
s state), and the music erasing process (S3) is performed. That is, the current track number is stored (S31), and the music having the current track number is deleted (S32). Then, the process is moved to the next track (S6). That is, C
While the reproduction of the music following the D10 is started, the recording of the music is started by the MD 20. If there is no next track, the dubbing process ends (End).

If the song is not erased at the time of the process S2 (that is, No), the process returns to the process S1. Processing S1
In, if the track has ended (ie, Yes), the song is in a state after the end of reproduction (ie, the song has finished recording), and also at this time, whether or not the song is to be erased (ie, In order to ask the user whether or not dubbing is unnecessary, the display section 400 displays "Erase?" (S4).

On the other hand, when the user determines that dubbing is unnecessary and presses the enter switch, the input unit 300
Input that no dubbing is required (ie, Ye
s state), and the music erasing process (S5, that is, the same as S3) is performed. That is, the current track number is stored (S51), and the music having the current track number is deleted (S52). Then, the process is moved to the next track (S6).

On the other hand, if the music is not erased (ie, No) at the step S4, the process is shifted to the step S6. That is, while the reproduction of the next song on the CD 10 is started, the MD 20
To start recording the song. If there is no next track, the dubbing process ends (End).

As is generally the case, in the MD, information such as the song number (order of songs) [ie, track number] and the start / end points of the song are recorded in an area called TOC (Table of Contents). And is managed separately. Usually, writing to the TOC is performed when the MD is taken out or the power is turned off, or is performed for each editing unit. When the track number is deleted from the TOC, the attached information is also deleted, and that part is treated as an unrecorded part.

Since the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, the CD mechanism 100
When D10 is set and MD20 is set in the MD mechanism unit 200, when the function switch is pressed the predetermined number of times and then the enter switch is pressed, a predetermined dubbing mode is set, and dubbing is enabled as described above. . That is, even if the CD 10 has never been heard, the contents of the song can be checked while the song is being played, and when the song that is not desired to be dubbed is played, the recorded song can be cut (erased) each time, and Since the dubbing process moves smoothly to the next song, dubbing can be performed in a short time without any trouble twice. Also, even during dubbing using program reproduction, if the song is considered to be a song that does not require recording in the middle, it functions effectively as described above.

In the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the timing at which dubbing is unnecessary is set as a timing at which "the CD 10 on which a plurality of songs are recorded is reproduced one by one while the MD 20 is reproduced." It is assumed that there are two of "the currently playing song is being recorded" and "the song has been played back (that is, the song has been recorded)". Instead, only one of them is unnecessary to dub. May be input.

In the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the reproducing side is a CD mechanism, but instead, a CD-R mechanism, a CD-RW mechanism, a DVD mechanism, an MD mechanism, etc. It may be. Also, the recording side is an MD mechanism, but instead, a CD-RW mechanism, a DV
It may be a D mechanism or the like. When dubbing a song that does not need to be recorded while confirming the song being played and dubbing each time, if a recording medium such as a disc such as a CD-RW or DVD is used, the erasure is as simple as MD. This is because it is preferable to apply the same function as that of the control section 500 to a dubbing apparatus provided with a use mechanism section. Incidentally, the reproducing side and the recording side may be a cassette tape mechanism. In the case of a cassette tape mechanism, for example, a silent region is detected to detect the start / end point of the music on the tape.

In the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, since a recording medium such as an MD, a CD-RW, and a DVD can be used, what is recorded may be other audio information instead of the music. Alternatively, the information may be information including a video.

Although the dubbing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described as a dubbing-only machine, it goes without saying that a dubbing function may be provided as a partial function instead. This is because, for example, the MD mechanism section 200 may be capable of playing back in addition to recording.
