Description

  The present invention relates to a recording / reproducing apparatus, and more particularly, to a disk of a recording / reproducing apparatus provided with a plurality of disk devices that record or read information on a corresponding recording medium such as a hard disk or an optical disk in one housing. The present invention relates to a control technology related to a withdrawal operation.

In order to meet the demands of the multimedia era, recent storage and playback devices include a DVD device that uses a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) as a storage medium for large-capacity data, and a large-capacity and inexpensive hard disk drive (HDD) device. It is common to have.
The DVD apparatus uses a red semiconductor laser having a wavelength of 650 nm as a pickup for the optical disk. A general DVD has a storage capacity of 4.7 GB.

  On the other hand, as a next-generation optical disk capable of storing a larger amount of data than DVD, recently, a Blu-ray Disc (registered trademark, hereinafter referred to as “BD”) using a blue light source with a wavelength of 400 nm band is used. ) And HD DVD (High Definition DVD) have been announced. For example, in the case of a Blu-ray disc, three types of recording capacity of a single-sided single layer, 23.3 GB, 25 GB, and 27 GB are standardized. In the case of HD DVD, a single-sided single-layer recording capacity of 15 GB has been announced, and a specification of 20 GB is also being studied. Both of them have a recording capacity of 15 GB (Giga byte) or more. For example, BD can record the entire 2 hours of high-definition broadcasting on a single disc, so it will be used for high-vision broadcasting in the future. It has excellent performance that can be handled (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition to the existing compact disc (CD) and DVD, in order to support BD, a laser light source with three wavelengths of short wavelength (BD) in addition to long wavelength (for CD) and medium wavelength (for DVD). Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In this apparatus, pickups corresponding to the above three types of wavelengths are provided to save space by using a single drive.

  However, although the optical disk device described in Patent Document 2 can save space, since there is only one disk insertion slot and only one disk can be driven, processing such as dubbing becomes complicated. User convenience is not always good. There is also a recording / reproducing apparatus including two or more disk devices.

  By the way, in order to easily insert and remove the disk, it is convenient to allow the disk to be loaded and unloaded on one side of the casing of the recording / reproducing apparatus, particularly on the front side. However, the two-tray system has a problem in that the area for inserting and removing the two optical disk devices, for example, a DVD disk and a BD disk is large, and the display area for notifying the user of the operation status of the optical disk apparatus is reduced. It was. In addition, since the operation keys of the recording / reproducing apparatus are provided in the display area, how to arrange the display unit and the operation unit has been a problem.

  An object of the present invention is to improve the operability of an apparatus while securing a display area and an operation area in a recording / reproducing apparatus including two or more optical disk devices including a Blu-ray disc (BD).

  The recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present invention is, for example, a horizontal (left and right) when a two-tray type recording / reproducing apparatus equipped with two or more optical disk devices is placed horizontally. Two optical disk devices are arranged adjacent to each other in the direction).

  In the recording / reproducing apparatus, when an optical disk is inserted / removed, an operation key is operated so that the disk can be inserted / removed after opening an open / close panel attached to the optical disk apparatus to be opened / closed. become. That is, the optical disk can be mounted on the disk device. Alternatively, the optical disk device may be mounted by performing an operation for opening the open / close panel.

  According to an aspect of the present invention, a housing, at least one electronic device disposed in the housing, a panel provided on the one surface of the housing so as to be openable and closable so as to cover the electronic device in a closed state, Control is performed to start the electronic device corresponding to the operation key on condition that the panel is provided on one surface of the housing so as to be opened and closed and that the opening of the panel is detected according to an operation related to the electronic device. An electronic apparatus having a control unit is provided.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, a housing, at least one electronic device disposed in the housing, and a panel that covers the electronic device on one surface of the housing and is provided to be openable and closable. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, comprising: a step of starting the electronic device on the condition that the opening of the panel is detected in response to an operation of pressing an operation key for operating the electronic device. An electronic device control method is provided. A program for causing a computer to execute the above steps also falls within the scope of the present invention.

  According to the recording / reproducing apparatus of the present invention, in the recording / reproducing apparatus provided with the optical drive device, it is possible to secure a large area for forming the operation unit and the display unit by providing the openable panel. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent damage to the disc tray, the disc, and the panel due to the disc or disc tray coming out when the open / close panel is closed.

  In this specification, the optical disc includes, for example, a read-only CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a playable / recordable CD-R (W), a DVD-R (RW), and a Blu-ray disc (BD). . The optical disk device refers to a drive device that can drive these media.

  A recording / reproducing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external configuration example of the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment, and shows a state in which a front panel is closed. FIG. 2 is a view corresponding to the perspective view of FIG. 1 and showing a state in which the front panel is opened. 3A to 3C are a front view corresponding to FIG. 1, a front view corresponding to FIG. 2, and a top view (partially representing) corresponding to FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a view showing an arrangement example of the optical disk device arranged in the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing an internal configuration example of the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a program that performs control processing and the like of the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a remote control device (hereinafter referred to as “remote control device”) capable of remotely operating the recording / reproducing device. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are flowcharts showing two processing procedure examples of the front panel opening / closing operation and the tray insertion / removal operation of the disk device of the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the recording / reproducing apparatus A according to the present embodiment is different from the DVD apparatus 31 that is the first optical disk apparatus in that the DVD apparatus 31 has different standards such as storage capacity. This is a so-called two-tray type recording / reproducing apparatus that is disposed adjacent to the BD device 35, which is an optical disk device of the above, and in order to give a sense of unity when used with a flat-screen TV or the like, either horizontal or vertical Even in the case of, it has an appearance that emphasizes slimness. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, this external appearance is such that the vertical thickness of the casing is as thin as possible by arranging the two optical drive devices 31 and 35 on the left and right when placed horizontally. I have to. Assuming that the liquid crystal television is mounted on an open rack, the thinness when it is placed horizontally in the open rack is emphasized.

  In addition, the housing 1 for housing the disk drive device is formed by injection molding of ABS polycarbonate resin, which is a flame-retardant plastic containing no halogen material, and a thin upper plate 1a is disposed on the upper surface. By finishing the upper plate 1a deeper than the outer surface of the other casing, the mechanical strength is maintained and a sense of luxury and slimness are produced.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an arrangement example of each disk device in the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present embodiment has a DVD apparatus 31 on the right side and a BD apparatus 35 on the left side when viewed from the front when the general horizontal arrangement is used. A hard disk (HDD) device 33 is disposed below the DVD device 31. The optical disk devices 31 and 35 having a certain thickness are arranged on the left and right sides, and the HDD 33 device that can be thinned is arranged below the DVD device 31, whereby the thickness of the housing 1 can be reduced.

  Further, since the processing is finer than that of a DVD disk, a high positional accuracy between the pickup and the disk is required (that is, weak against vibration). By disposing the BD device 35 and the HDD device 33 below the DVD device 31, the influence of vibration caused by the operation of the HDD device 33 can be minimized. These disk devices 31, 33, and 35 can all be stored and played back, but include, for example, the case where a DVD device is dedicated to playback.

  In general, the HDD device 33 has a storage capacity of about 120 GHz, has the largest storage capacity among the three disk devices, and then the storage capacity decreases in the order of the BD device 35 and the DVD device 31. Therefore, the HDD device 33 is used as a basic storage device as a data server, and the content is appropriately transferred from the HDD device 33 to the BD device 35 or the DVD device in consideration of the usage status or the required image quality, the occupied storage capacity of the content, and the like. It is possible to allocate the DVD disc or the BD disc via the recording medium 31 and store it on a storage medium semipermanently. The content stored in these storage media can be played back by another playback device, or the original content can be created and distributed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 (a), a recording / reproducing apparatus A according to the present embodiment includes a housing 1 on which an upper plate 1a is disposed, and an openable front panel provided in front in a horizontal position. 25a. On the left and right of the front panel 25a are an RC light receiving unit 17 for receiving a command by infrared rays from a power on / off switch 1b and a remote control device (hereinafter referred to as "remote control device") shown in FIG. A front panel opening switch 25b for opening 25a and a front panel locking mechanism 25 for locking the front panel 25a are provided.

  By providing an openable front panel, it is possible to secure a display area and an operation area, and there is an advantage that it is easy to operate and display is easy to see.

  Although the detailed description of the front panel lock mechanism 25 is omitted, the front panel 25a is normally locked, and the panel open switch of the remote control (the tray open / close switch in FIG. 7B also has this function) or the panel By turning on the opening switch 25b, the front panel 25a is pushed in the opening direction.

  Once the front panel 25a is pressed, the front panel 25a is rotated by the weight of the front panel 25a in the opening direction until the angle between the front of the casing and the front panel 25a is about 90 degrees, and as shown in FIG. The rotation stops when the angle between the front and the front panel 25a becomes about 90 degrees. The front panel 25a can be opened by an operation from the remote control device by releasing the lock mechanism of the front panel 25a by the remote control device.

  A display unit 40 is provided on the front panel 25a. The display unit 40 includes a substantially circular first display unit 41, second display units 43 and 45, and a third display unit arranged with a certain interval in the horizontal direction when the housing 1 is placed horizontally. 47 are arranged.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (b), when the front panel 25a is opened, the recording / reproducing apparatus A is placed on the back side when the front panel 25a is closed on the front side of the housing 1. The front portions 31a and 35a of the trays of the DVD device 31 that is the first optical disc device and the BD device 35 that is the second optical disc device appear. Open / close switches 31b and 35b for opening and closing the optical disk devices 31 and 35 are provided for the optical disk devices 31 and 35, respectively. By pushing the open / close switches 31b and 35b, trays for loading DVD disks or BD disks (not shown) corresponding to the respective optical disk devices 31 and 35 are advanced and retracted.

  Below the area where the DVD device 31 and the BD device 35 are arranged side by side, for example, an IEEE 1394 terminal (DV terminal) and a slot 21 for a B-CAS card are provided. The B-CAS card is a card necessary for receiving various broadcasting services such as terrestrial digital television broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting, and 110-degree CS digital broadcasting, and is also used for copyright protection of digital broadcasting programs and the like. . For example, in order to use broadcasting services such as digital broadcasting free broadcasting, pay broadcasting, pay-per-view broadcasting, NHK, automatic display message, and data broadcasting interactive services, slots for B-CAS cards must be used. It is necessary to insert a B-CAS card into 21. Reference numeral 21a denotes a push button for taking out the B-CAS card inserted into the B-CAS card slot.

  Further, between the IEEE 1394 terminal (DV terminal) and the slot 21 for the B-CAS card, a slightly smaller inner display section 48 (fourth to sixth) having the same form as the display section 40. The display units 48a to 48c are arranged in a horizontal direction at a certain interval). This inner display section serves as a selection operation key that also serves as a display, and also serves as an operation state notifying unit that notifies the operation states of the DVD, HDD, and BD in order from the left side in the drawing. The DV terminal is also provided on the back side of the recording / reproducing apparatus A, and is generally used as an interface for taking in the video from the DV camera to the HDD drive or the like at a high speed. A terminal can be selected and used.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 (c), a direction key having a function similar to the direction key of the remote controller RC in FIG. 7 (A) and a determination button are provided on the back surface 25b side of the front panel. An operation unit 61a, a switch 61b for starting and stopping the reproduction operation, each of which is semicircular and combined into a circle, a reproduction switch 61b having a light emitting area on the outer periphery of the circle, and this reproduction A recording switch 61c provided adjacent to the recording switch 61b and having the same shape. As will be described later, the light emission color at the time of display is determined according to the operating state. The operation unit 61a using direction keys and selection keys is used for moving and determining menu items on a menu screen, for example.

  As described above, each adopts a two-tray system including a DVD device having a disk drive unit and a BD device, and also includes a built-in hard disk device. The delay caused by the startup time can be shortened as much as possible. For example, when a DVD disc or BD disc is newly inserted into the DVD device 31 or the BD device 35, the information on the disc placed in each device is read, and the type, standard, Etc. are detected. That is, it is possible to move to the next process (actual reproduction or recording process) only after determining whether or not the disk can be operated for reproduction or recording by the disk device. By using the two-tray method, for example, by inserting two types of discs with different standards into a disc device that matches the standards, the information reading time of different discs can be read in parallel, and the disc can be read in a short time. A device activation process can be performed. That is, there is an advantage that the delay caused by reading the information on the disc when the two discs are loaded / unloaded can be reduced by performing the information reading on the two discs in parallel.

  Next, an internal configuration example of the recording / reproducing apparatus A according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the entire functional block diagram of FIG. 5 and FIGS. 6 and 7. The description will be made with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5, the recording / reproducing apparatus A according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 3 that performs overall control, and a functional block group that executes each function. As described above, the DVD device 31, the HDD device 33, and the BD device 35 are provided as blocks having a recording / reproducing function.

  Each of these disk devices 31, 33, and 35 operates based on a control command from the CPU 3 via the disk drive control unit 37 or directly. Actually, in the case of the remote control device RC, an infrared signal is received by the RC light receiving unit 17 by operating each operation button of the remote control device shown in FIG. Then, a signal corresponding to the operation is received and transmitted to the CPU 3. The CPU 3 outputs a command signal for instructing each functional block so as to perform an operation based on the above operation based on the received signal.

  For example, when the terrestrial digital broadcast selection button 70b is pressed in the broadcast selection unit 70 of the remote control device RC and the BD disc selection button 71c is pressed in the target device selection unit, the terrestrial wave is applied to the BD disc in the BD disc drive device 35. Digital broadcast program content can be recorded. Since a BD disc can store a larger amount of data than a DVD disc, for example, a digital broadcast of 2 to 3 hours or more can be recorded with high image quality.

  At the time of recording, when recording terrestrial digital broadcasting, the image / audio signal processing unit 5 including a recording encoder / decoder can record a video signal / audio signal from, for example, a CS broadcast program on a BD disc. For example, the signal recorded in the BD device 35 is converted into a format that can be displayed on the display monitor. At this time, the operating status of the BD device 35 is sent to the CPU 3. Thus, the CPU 3 can appropriately monitor the operation status of each disk device and give an appropriate instruction.

  Furthermore, the recording / reproducing apparatus A according to the present embodiment is associated with the CPU 3 and includes a ROM 7 for storing a program for causing the CPU 3 to execute various processes described later, and a RAM 11 for developing the program and processing it at high speed. An IEEE 1394 terminal (DV) for inputting a broadcast signal from an antenna, outputting a content signal or D video obtained when the disk device is driven, to a display monitor such as a liquid crystal TV, or connecting to a DV camera And an interface unit 15 for controlling input / output of various signals.

  Further, the RC light receiving unit 17 described above, the B-CAS card slot 21, the cooling fan 23 for enhancing the heat radiation effect, and the front panel driving unit 25 for opening the front panel 25a, which opens and closes the front panel. It has a front panel drive unit 25 including a detection unit (not shown) that detects a state, and an input unit 61 that receives various input operations. In addition, the disk device drive control unit 37 and the display unit 40 provided on the front panel 25a are arranged at a certain interval in the horizontal direction when the housing 1 is placed horizontally as described above. The substantially circular first display unit 41, second display units 43 and 45, and third display unit 47 are provided, and display control is performed by the CPU 3 via the display control unit 51. Similarly, the selection switches that also serve as the fourth to sixth display units 48 a to 48 c described above are subjected to display control by the CPU 3 via the display control unit 51. Further, each disk device is provided with detection units 31c, 33c, and 35c for detecting the presence / absence of a disk, a driving state, and the like, and signals related to the presence / absence of an optical medium and a driving state in each corresponding disk device are detected. The units 31c, 33c, and 35c are configured to be sent to the CPU 3 via the disk drive control unit 37. A position detector 27 that includes a gravity sensor and the like and detects the position of the recording / reproducing apparatus (horizontal or vertical) is also mounted.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of a program group stored in the ROM 7. The disk drive control program P 1 that controls the drive of various disks, the display control program P 2 that controls the display of the display unit, and the interface unit 15. Interface control program P3 that controls interface switching, signal conversion, etc., panel / fan control program P4 that controls the operation of the front panel 25a / fan 23, etc., and signal processing (conversion of image signals / audio signals) And an image / audio signal processing program P5 for performing (including). Each program listed here is an example, and in actuality, each program performs a series of controls in conjunction with each other.

Next, the function of each function will be described.
First, the configuration of the display unit and the display control unit and display control based on the configuration will be described in detail. As described above, the display unit 40 provided on the front panel 25a is spaced apart in the horizontal direction when the casing 1 of the recording / reproducing apparatus A is placed horizontally as shown in FIG. The first display unit 41, the second display units 43 and 45, and the third display unit 47, which are substantially circular, are arranged. The first display unit 41, the second display units 43 and 45, and the third display unit 47 are relatively large and easy-to-see display units having a diameter of about half the thickness of the optical disc apparatus A, As long as the display of the triple circular display (lighting on / off and lighting color) is confirmed, the current operation status of the disk device of the relatively complicated HDD drive + 2-tray type recording / reproducing apparatus and the current data moving direction It has the advantage that it can be easily understood.

  FIGS. 7A to 7C are diagrams showing a configuration example of the remote control device RC shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7B, the remote control device RC has an operation button (Eject button) 75 for inserting / removing the disc tray of the DVD disc and an operation button (Eject button) 77 for removing / inserting the disc tray of the BD disc. Each is provided independently. However, when the front panel 25a is closed, the disc tray does not come out even if the DVD disc open / close button 75 or the BD disc open / close button 77 of the remote control device RC is pressed so that the front panel 25a does not collide with the disc tray. As described above, the operation of the open / close buttons 75 and 77 is disabled. The front tray opening button 25b is provided on the main body side, but may be provided on the remote control side.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, first, an operation is started in Step S1 (Start). In step S2, one of the operation keys 75 (DVD) and 77 (BD) for inserting / removing the disc tray of the remote control device is turned on. In step S3, it is confirmed whether or not the front panel 25a is open based on the detection result of the open / close detection unit 25c (FIG. 5) of the front panel 25a. If the front panel 25a is not open (No), the disc tray loading / unloading operation keys 75 and 77 are controlled to be invalid. If the front panel 25a is open (Yes), the disc tray of the optical drive device corresponding to the operation key operated in step S2 is opened. Thereby, damage due to collision between the disc tray and the front panel 25a can be prevented. Next, in step S5, an appropriate optical disk is placed on the disk tray. In step S6, when the same operation key as the one operated in step S2 is pressed, the disc tray is retracted in step S7, the optical disc device is in a standby state, and a series of processing ends (end: step S8).

  In the above processing, the confirmation method of the open state of the front panel 25a includes a method of mechanically detecting the open state of the opening / closing mechanism of the front panel 25a, and the opening of the front panel is covered by, for example, the front panel 25a. A method of detecting by a photodetector provided on one surface of the housing can be used.

  Next, the flow of other processing relating to opening and closing of the disc tray will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, first, in step S11, the process is started (Start), and in step S12, the front panel open button 25b of the apparatus main body is pressed. In step S13, after the front panel 25a is opened, for example, the disc tray of the currently usable optical disc device is ejected (Eject). If both optical disk devices are currently available, it may be controlled to eject both disk trays. When a disk is loaded on the disk tray in step S14, for example, the CPU detects that the disk has been loaded, and the disk tray automatically retracts in step S15. If it is confirmed in step S16 that the disc tray is closed (Yes, for example, by display or visual observation), in step S17, the user can manually close the front panel 25a, and the process ends (end: step S18).

  As described above, in the processing flow shown in FIG. 9, the disc tray is ejected in response to the opening operation of the front panel of the remote controller. Therefore, the disc tray is ejected when the front panel 25a is closed due to an erroneous operation. It is possible to prevent damage to the disc tray and the front panel.

  Next, a recording / reproducing apparatus according to a modification of the present embodiment will be described. In addition to the type in which the bare disk is mounted on the disk tray as described above, there is a type in which the disk or the case in which the disk is in the case is ejected from the disk attachment / detachment opening. In this case, when the operation key (Eject key) is turned on, the recording / reproducing apparatus is turned on under the condition that the opening of the front panel is detected, and the disc is ejected from the disc insertion / removal opening. If you press the eject key that does not contain a disc, you can control the disc so that it does not come out of the slot, and control the disc that contains the disc to come out. It is. After that, the operation of inserting a disk to be inserted from the disk insertion / removal port is performed. Also in this case, the operation is simplified because the device is turned on by the eject key, and if the disc is loaded, the operation of ejecting the disc is performed.

  In the present embodiment, a two-tray recording / reproducing apparatus including one HDD apparatus and two optical disk apparatuses has been described as an example. However, the number and types of optical disk apparatuses and HDD apparatuses are related to display control. The same control can be performed regardless of the above.

  The present invention can be used as a control technique for the opening / closing operation of the front panel and the tray opening / closing operation of the recording / reproducing apparatus. Further, the present invention can be applied to AV electronic equipment other than the recording / reproducing apparatus.
