Description

  The present invention relates to a recording system, a control apparatus and method, and a program, and more particularly to a recording system, control apparatus and method, and program that can instruct movement of content in the recording apparatus from the control apparatus side.

  In a program (content) in the current digital broadcasting, copyright information (information for controlling a copy generation) of content is defined by a digital copy control descriptor (digital_copy_control_descriptor).

  For example, in a hybrid type recording device with a built-in HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) drive, when content with copyright information of “Copying only one generation” is recorded on the HDD, at that time It is treated that “1st generation” copying has been performed, and the CCI (Copy Control Information) of the content is set to “copy prohibited further”. Here, the CCI is information relating to restrictions on copying of each content within the recording apparatus.

  Therefore, from now on, the user can view the content as long as it is reproduced from the HDD, but cannot copy it to a DVD and view it on an external player. In the current digital broadcasting, the creation of a copy is prevented in this way.

  By the way, the recording capacity of the HDD is naturally limited, and when content is recorded to the full capacity of the HDD, the content can be copied to other removable media in order to secure the recording capacity without erasing the content. It is conceivable to delete the content in the HDD, but due to the limitations described above, it is not possible depending on the content.

  In order to solve such a problem, there is a technique called “Move”.

  Move, for example, copies the contents of the HDD that have been copied to a removable medium such as a DVD or Blue-ray Disk (trademark) while copying the contents of the HDD that have been recorded in the HDD. When all the copies are completed by erasing or invalidating the HDD, all the contents in the HDD are erased or invalidated, leaving one usable content on the removable media and from the HDD. This is a technique for making it unusable (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This makes it possible for the user to create a copy on other removable media, even if the content is “copyable only for one generation” recorded in the built-in HDD, and the removable content is recorded (moved). By mounting the media on other players, the content can be used from other than on the HDD. Even in this case, multiple copies are not created.

  By the way, a third device (for example, DTV (Digital Television)) as a control device moves contents from HDR (Hard Disc Recorder) connected via the IEEE1394 bus to DVHS (Digital Video Home System). When the content is controlled, the third device displays a message such as “content is being moved” on the screen, for example, as shown in FIG. After that, since the HDR enters the playback state, the third device switches to the input from the HDR in order to input the playback image, but the signal during the move playback can only input the DVHS of the move destination. 1B, there is no choice but to display a so-called black screen. Therefore, during the move, in order to display the broadcast wave (so-called TV program channel) as shown in FIG. 1C, the user must manually operate the remote controller to select the broadcast wave. There was a problem that the operation was complicated.

  Also, if the move is interrupted for some reason, the only way for the user to know it is to reproduce the content for which the move was interrupted.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and instructs to move content in a recording apparatus from the control apparatus side, and can improve user convenience at that time. .

  The recording system of the present invention is a recording system comprising a control device and a recording device, wherein the control device includes a move control means for controlling the movement of a predetermined content recorded on the recording device, and the move control means. Display control means for controlling display of information relating to the movement interruption when the move is interrupted, and the recording device records the predetermined content based on the control by the control device and the recording means. Moving means for moving the predetermined content recorded in the means.

  In the control device connected to the recording device, the control device of the present invention includes a move control means for controlling the movement of a predetermined content recorded in the recording device, and when the move by the move control means is interrupted, Display control means for controlling the display of information relating to the interruption.

  The information regarding the interruption of the move can be an icon.

  The display control means can further control display of a list of titles of contents that can be moved that are recorded in the recording device, and can superimpose and display information relating to the interruption of the movement on the list.

  The control method of the present invention is a control method for a control device connected to a recording device, wherein a move control step for controlling the movement of a predetermined content recorded on the recording device, and the movement by the processing of the move control step is interrupted. A display control step for controlling display of information relating to the movement interruption.

  The program of the present invention is a program for causing a computer to perform control processing of a control device connected to a recording device, a move control step for controlling movement of a predetermined content recorded in the recording device, and the move control step A program for causing a computer to execute a process including a display control step for controlling display of information relating to a move interruption when a move by the process is interrupted.

  In the present invention, when the move is interrupted, the display of information regarding the interrupt is controlled.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to instruct content movement in the recording apparatus from the control apparatus side. In addition, user convenience can be improved.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a recording / playback system 1 to which the present invention is applied. This recording / playback system 1 includes a DTV (Digital Television) 11, HDR (Hard Disk Recorder) 13, and DVHS (Digital Video Home System) 14 via an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 1394 bus 12. Are connected to each other.

  The DTV 11 is a television receiver that supports terrestrial digital broadcasting and BS (Broadcasting Satellite) / CS (Communications Satellite) digital broadcasting, as well as the controller itself, and AV / C commands (AV / C Digital Interface Command Set). Are used to control the target HDR 13 and DVHS 14 respectively.

  For example, the DTV 11 supplies a packet extracted from a transport stream broadcast on a predetermined channel to the HDR 13 or the DVHS 14 via the IEEE1394 bus 12 and records a predetermined content such as a television program selected by the user ( Recording).

  Further, for example, the DTV 11 reproduces the content recorded in the HDR 13 or copies or moves the content recorded in the HDR 13 to the DVHS 14 via the IEEE1394 bus 12. During execution of this copy or move, the DTV 11 keeps the broadcast wave displayed without switching to the input from the HDR 13.

  Furthermore, for example, the DTV 11 issues an AV / C command (READ Command) to the HDR 13 of the move source, reads whether or not the content move is interrupted, and displays an icon that can identify the move interrupt. To do.

  The HDR 13 records predetermined content supplied from the DTV 11. The content recorded in the HDR 13 is appropriately read out by the DTV 11 and used for reproduction, copying, moving, or the like. Also, the HDR 13 creates and holds a descriptor for managing its own state defined by IEEE1394, and rewrites the descriptor according to the move status.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing “Moved Position Marker InfoBlock”, which is a descriptor for managing its own state, held by the HDR 13.

In “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )”, information about how many times the content has been moved is described. In “position_marker_type (00 ₁₆ )”, information for defining the time and size of content is described. In “position_marker_specific_information”, position (time) information relating to where the move is interrupted in the content is defined. "Object_position_nember (00000000 ₁₆ )", "hours (XX ₁₆ )", "minutes (XX ₁₆ )", "seconds (XX ₁₆ )", and "frames (XX ₁₆ )" include the detailed position ( Time) information is described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing “Original Size Indicator InfoBlock”, which is a descriptor for managing the state of itself held by the HDR 13.

As in the example of FIG. 3, “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )” describes information about how many times the content has been moved, and “position_marker_type (00 ₁₆ )” indicates the time and size of the content. Information for prescribing is described, and “position_marker_specific_information” prescribes position (time) information regarding where the move was interrupted in the content.

Further, “size_indicator_type (00 ₁₆ )” describes information for defining the original size of the content. In “size_indicator_type_specific”, information on the original size of the content is defined. In “hours (XXXX ₁₆ )”, “minutes (XX ₁₆ )”, “seconds (XX ₁₆ )”, and “frames (XX ₁₆ )”, information on the detailed original size of the content is described.

The HDR 13 creates and holds information as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 for each content. For example, if the move is executed once and interrupted, “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )” is set to “ 1 ”is described, and the interrupted position information is described in“ position_marker_specific_information ”.

  The DVHS 14 records predetermined content supplied from the DTV 11 or records content supplied (copied or moved) from the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the DTV 11.

  A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21 executes a program stored in the memory 22 and controls the entire operation of the DTV 11 according to a signal supplied from the light receiving unit 23.

  The light receiving unit 23 receives infrared rays from the remote controller 42 and outputs a signal corresponding to the user operation obtained by demodulation to the CPU 21.

  The tuner 24 receives and demodulates the broadcast signal from the antenna 41 under the control of the CPU 21, and outputs a transport stream (TS) broadcast on a predetermined channel to the descrambler 25.

  The descrambler 25 generates a key for descrambling using data stored in a CAS card (not shown), and releases the scramble of the transport stream supplied from the tuner 24. The transport stream descrambled by the descrambler 25 is supplied to a DEMUX (demultiplexer) 26.

  The DEMUX 26 extracts a predetermined stream from the transport stream supplied from the descrambler 25 under the control of the CPU 21, and outputs the extracted stream (packets constituting the stream) to the audio decoder 27 and the video decoder 30.

  Further, the DEMUX 26 outputs the obtained stream to the IEEE1394 interface 34 when the content is recorded on the HDR 13, and the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12 and the IEEE1394 interface 34 when reproducing the content recorded on the HDR 13. The supplied stream is output to the audio decoder 27 and the video decoder 30.

  The audio decoder 27 decodes the audio data (audio packet) supplied from the DEMUX 26 and outputs the obtained audio data to the audio processing circuit 28.

  The audio processing circuit 28 performs D / A (Digital / Analog) conversion, amplification processing, and the like on the audio data supplied from the audio decoder 27, and outputs the obtained audio from the speaker 29.

  The video decoder 30 decodes the video data (video packet) supplied from the DEMUX 26 and outputs the obtained video data to the video processing circuit 31.

  The video processing circuit 31 performs predetermined image processing, D / A conversion, and the like on the video data supplied from the video decoder 30 and displays a content image on the display 33. The video processing circuit 31 displays a predetermined image on the display 33 based on the video data supplied from the OSD (On Screen Display) addition circuit 32.

  The OSD addition circuit 32 generates video data of an image to be displayed on the display 33 according to control by the CPU 21, and outputs the generated video data to the video processing circuit 31. For example, video data for displaying a list of contents recorded in the HDR 13 is generated by the OSD addition circuit 32 and is output to the video processing circuit 31.

  The IEEE1394 interface 34 communicates with the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12. For example, an AV / C command supplied from the CPU 21 and a stream supplied from the DEMUX 26 are transmitted from the IEEE1394 interface 34 to the HDR 13.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of the operation panel 51 displayed on the display 33 of the DTV 11.

  “HDR1” is displayed in the upper center of the operation panel, which indicates that the operation panel 51 of FIG. 6 is for operating the HDR 13. On this operation panel 51, a power button 52 that is operated when turning on / off the power of the HDR 13, and a list of titles of contents recorded in the HDR 13 (including those that have been recorded and that are being recorded) are displayed. A list button 53 to be operated and a device selection button 54 to be operated when selecting a device to be controlled by the operation panel 51 are displayed.

  Also, on the right side of the power button 52 or the like, a playback operation button 55 that is operated when playing back or stopping the content recorded on the HDR 13 is displayed, and on the right side of the content button to the HDR 13 is displayed. A recording operation button 56 that is operated when starting or stopping recording is displayed. Further, the device detailed information display area 57 displays the state of the HDR 13 such as the remaining capacity of the hard disk.

  Such an operation panel 51 is displayed at a predetermined position on the display 33 of the DTV 11.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the DTV 11. The functional configuration example illustrated in FIG. 7 is realized by the CPU 21 executing a predetermined program stored in the memory 22.

  The move control unit 61, for example, controls the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12 and controls the DVHS 14 to move the content when the user instructs to move the content recorded in the HDR 13 to the DVHS 14. . As a result, the HDR 13 erases or invalidates the part of the content after the move, and erases or invalidates all the content recorded in the HDR 13 when all the moves are completed, thereby making the use impossible. When the move is performed and the move is interrupted, the information (FIG. 3 or 4) corresponding to the content is rewritten. Further, the move control unit 61 notifies the list display unit 62 that the move is being executed.

  The list display unit 62 refers to the content recorded in the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12 based on an instruction from the remote controller 42, and causes the display 33 to display a list of content that can be reproduced (including moves). . From this list, the user can select the content to be moved.

  In addition, the list display unit 62 causes the display 33 to display a move in-progress message based on the notification from the move control unit 61. Further, the list display unit 62 displays an icon for identifying the content for which the move is interrupted on the list based on the information notified from the command management unit 63.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a reproduction list displayed on the display 33 by the list display unit 62.

  The reproduction list 71 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed when the list button 53 of the operation panel 51 shown in FIG. 6 is selected. The play list 71 displays a list of titles of operable content recorded in the HDR 13. In the case of the example of FIG. 8, the playlist 71 includes “ethnic gourmet exploration”, “visit the ancient city”, “Go! Go! Pro Baseball”, “The Challenger Show”, “journey to Germany”. , And “News” are displayed as titles of contents that can be operated (including moves) by the user.

  In the example of FIG. 8, the remote controller 42 is operated by the user, the title 72 of “ethnic / gourmet exploration” is selected, and the detailed information of the content corresponding to the title is displayed at the bottom of the screen. In addition, a move interruption icon 73 indicating that the movement of the content corresponding to the title “Visit the ancient city” has been interrupted is displayed.

  Further, in the example of FIG. 8, a close button 74 that is selected when the display of the reproduction list 71 is ended is displayed.

  While the playlist 71 is displayed, for example, the user moves the cursor using the up and down buttons of the remote controller 42 and selects a title of a predetermined program (for example, “ethnic gourmet exploration”). When the option button on the remote controller 42 is pressed, an option menu 81 as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 9, the option menu 81 displays “play”, “play from the beginning”, “delete”, “dubbing”, and “move”. When the user moves the cursor 81A using the up and down buttons of the remote controller 42, selects a predetermined operation content from the option menu 81, and presses the enter button, the title (in this case, “Ethnic Gourmet” The content of “exploration”) can be reproduced from the HDR 13 (reproduced from the position where it was last reproduced), and can be reproduced, deleted, dubbed, or moved from the beginning.

  For example, when the user selects the “Ethnic / Gourmet Exploration” title and selects and decides “Move” from the option menu 81, a move mode screen 91 as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed.

  In the case of the example of FIG. 10, the move mode screen 91 displays the detailed information of the content corresponding to the title “Ethnic / Gourmet Exploration”, as well as the player that is the move source and the recorder that is the move destination. ing. That is, “HDR1” (corresponding to HDR13 in FIG. 2) is displayed as a playback device, and “DVHS1” (corresponding to DVHS14 in FIG. 2) is displayed as a recorder. Although illustration is omitted, when there are a plurality of move destination recorders, the user selects a predetermined recorder using the remote commander and presses the enter button to select one of the move destination recorders. A recorder can be selected.

  In a state where the move mode screen 91 is displayed, for example, when the user selects the “move” button 92 using the remote controller 42, the move control unit 61 records the HDR 13. The content corresponding to the title of “Ethnic Gourmet Exploration” will be moved to DVHS14. As this move process is executed, as shown in FIG. 11, a message “Moving now” is displayed instead of the message “Do you want to move the selected program?”. At this time, when the user instructs to end the display of the move mode screen 91 using the remote controller 42, only the broadcast wave is displayed on the display 33 as shown in FIG. During the move, after the move mode screen 91 is displayed for a predetermined time, only the broadcast wave may be automatically displayed on the display 33 without depending on the user's operation.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the cancel button 93 on the move mode screen 91, the move control unit 61 cancels the move.

  As described above, the user performs a predetermined operation using the operation panel 51 (FIG. 6), the play list 71 (FIG. 8), or the like displayed on the display 33 of the DTV 11, and is recorded in the HDR 13. Processing such as playing back or moving content can be performed.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The command management unit 63 issues the AV / C Command to the HDR 13 to read the content for which the move is interrupted from the information (FIG. 3 or FIG. 4) for each content held in the HDR 13, and the content. Is notified to the list display unit 62.

  Next, the move process executed by the DTV 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is performed when, for example, the remote controller 42 is operated by the user when the broadcast wave is displayed on the display 33 of the DTV 11 and the operation panel 51 of the HDR 13 is displayed as shown in FIG. Be started.

  In step S1, the list display unit 62 determines whether or not the user has operated the remote controller 42 to instruct the list display, that is, whether or not the list button 53 of the operation panel 51 shown in FIG. 6 has been pressed. And wait until the list display is instructed. If it is determined that the list display is instructed, the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S2, the list display unit 62 refers to the content recorded in the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12 based on a list display instruction from the user, and displays a list of content that can be played (including moves). get. Then, the list display unit 62 switches from the display of the operation panel 51 shown in FIG. 6 to the display of the reproduction list 71 shown in FIG. In step S3, the list display unit 62 determines whether or not the content is selected, that is, the title of a predetermined program is selected from the titles displayed in the reproduction list 71 using the remote controller 42 by the user. It is determined whether or not.

  If it is determined in step S3 that the content has been selected, the process proceeds to step S4, and the list display unit 62 determines whether or not the move has been selected from the options, that is, in the state where the program title has been selected, It is determined whether or not “Move” has been selected from the option menu 81 shown in FIG. 9 displayed when the button is pressed, and the enter button has been pressed.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the move is not selected from the option, the process proceeds to step S5, and the list display unit 62 determines whether an item other than the move is selected from the option, that is, from the option menu 81. Judges whether “Play”, “Play from beginning”, “Delete”, or “Dubbing” other than “Move” has been selected, and determines that no item other than “Move” has been selected from the options. If yes, the process returns to step S4 and the above-described process is repeatedly executed.

  If it is determined in step S5 that an item other than the move has been selected from the options, the process proceeds to step S6, and the CPU 21 performs predetermined processing (playback, playback from the beginning, deletion, or dubbing) corresponding to the selected operation content. Execute. After completion of the predetermined process in step S6, the process returns to step S3, and the list display unit 62 redisplays the reproduction list 71 shown in FIG. 8, and repeatedly executes the above-described process.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the move has been selected from the options, the process proceeds to step S7, where the list display unit 62 displays the move mode screen 91 shown in FIG. 10, and whether or not the move destination model has been selected. That is, it is determined whether or not the remote controller 42 is used by the user to select a move destination model (recorder) and the “move” button 92 is pressed. In the example of FIG. 10, “DVHS1” is already selected because there is only one move destination model. However, when there are a plurality of move destination models, the user uses the remote controller 42. A predetermined recorder is selected by moving the cursor or the like.

  If it is determined in step S7 that the destination model has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S8, and the list display unit 62 determines whether or not cancellation has been instructed, that is, the user uses the remote controller 42 and cancels. It is determined whether or not the button 93 has been selected. If it is determined that the cancellation has not been stopped, the process returns to step S7 and the above-described processing is repeatedly executed.

  If it is determined in step S8 that cancellation has been instructed, the process returns to step S3, and the list display unit 62 redisplays the reproduction list 71 shown in FIG. 8, and repeatedly executes the above-described processing.

  If it is determined in step S7 that the destination model has been selected, the process proceeds to step S9, where the move control unit 61 controls the HDR 13 to execute the move process. In the case of the example in FIG. 10, the content corresponding to the title “ethnic gourmet exploration” is moved to the DVHS 14. In step S <b> 10, the list display unit 62 displays a “move in progress” message as shown in FIG. 11 based on an instruction from the move control unit 61. At this time, when the user instructs the end of the display of the move mode screen 91, only the broadcast wave is displayed on the display 33 as shown in FIG.

  In step S11, the move control unit 61 determines whether or not the move process has been completed. If it is determined that the move process has not been completed yet, the move control unit 61 proceeds to step S12 and determines whether or not a stop is instructed. It is determined whether or not the user has used the remote controller 42 and the cancel button 93 has been selected. If it is determined that the cancel has not been instructed, the process returns to step S11 to repeatedly execute the above-described processing.

If it is determined in step S12 that an instruction to cancel is issued, the process proceeds to step S13, and the HDR 13 rewrites information (FIG. 3 or 4) corresponding to the content for which the move has been interrupted. Thus, “1” is described in “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )”, and the interrupted position information is described in “position_marker_specific_information”. In addition, when the movement of content in which a value of “1” or more is already described in “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )” is interrupted, the value is increased by 1. Specifically, when the move of the content in which “3” is described in “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )” is re-executed and the move is interrupted again, “moved_count (XX ₁₆ )” includes “4 "Is described.

  After the process of step S13, the process returns to step S3, and the list display unit 62 redisplays the reproduction list 71 shown in FIG. 8, and repeatedly executes the above-described process.

  If it is determined in step S11 that the move process has been completed, the process proceeds to step S14, and the list display unit 62 redisplays the reproduction list 71 shown in FIG. At this time, since the moved content is unavailable, the title of the moved content is deleted from the reproduction list 71. Thereafter, the processing returns to step S3, and the above-described processing is repeatedly executed. As shown in FIG. 12, when the move process is completed in a state where only the broadcast wave is displayed on the display 33, the list display unit 62 does not redisplay the reproduction list 71 and broadcasts it. Keep the wave displayed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that no content is selected, the process proceeds to step S15, and the list display unit 62 determines whether or not the end of list display is instructed, that is, the user uses the remote controller 42. Then, it is determined whether or not the close button 74 of the reproduction list 71 is selected.

  If it is determined in step S15 that the end of list display is not instructed, the process returns to step S3, and the above-described processing is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the end of list display has been instructed, the move process in FIG. 13 ends.

  Through the above moving process, during the movement of content from the HDR 13 to the DVHS 14, the DTV 11 can display broadcast waves instead of switching to the input of the HDR 13 to display a black screen. This eliminates the need for the user to select a broadcast wave by using the remote controller 42.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 14, the display process of the move interruption icon executed by the DTV 11 will be described.

  In step S31, the command management unit 63 determines whether or not the Moved Position Marker (FIG. 3) is held by issuing an AV / C Command to the HDR 13 via the IEEE1394 bus 12, and determines the Moved Position Marker. If it is determined that it is held, the process proceeds to step S33.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S31 that the Moved Position Marker is not held, the process proceeds to step S32, and the command management unit 63 further determines whether or not the HDR 13 holds the Original Size Indicator (FIG. 4). If it is determined that the original size indicator is held, the process proceeds to step S33.

  In step S33, the command management unit 63 reads Moved_count of Moved Position Marker (FIG. 3) or Original Size Indicator (FIG. 4). In step S34, the command management unit 63 determines whether the Moved_count read in the process of step S33 is 1 or more, and if it is determined that the Moved_count is 1 or more, notifies the list display unit 62 to that effect. Then, the process proceeds to step S35.

  In step S35, the list display unit 62 moves to the vicinity of the title of the corresponding content based on the information notified from the command management unit 63 (Moved_count is 1 or more or the move is interrupted). Display a break icon. In the example of FIG. 8, a move interruption icon 73 is displayed on the right side of the title “Visit the ancient city”.

  If it is determined in step S32 that neither Moved Position Marker (FIG. 3) nor Original Size Indicator (FIG. 4) is held, or in step S34, Moved_count is not 1 or more (that is, Moved_count is 0). If it is determined that there is a), the process proceeds to step S36, and the list display unit 62 hides the move interruption icon. In the example of Figure 8, next to the titles "Ethnic Gourmet Exploration", "Go! Go!
