  The control device 25 incorporates a main control IC (LSI) typified by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and controls each unit so that operation contents corresponding to operation information (input) from the input unit 26 are reflected. Each is controlled. The control device 25 also includes a clock unit (timer controller) (not shown) that holds the date and time, and can set time management and a recording reservation set by an input from the user.

  Furthermore, in the video recording / playback apparatus according to the present embodiment, the control device 25 sets the display screen for setting the display screen for searching the position in the title from the subtitle list created from the subtitle information, as will be described in detail later. A display setting unit 254 is included.

  The storage unit 24 stores, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) that holds a control program executed by the CPU, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that provides a work area for the CPU, and a nonvolatile storage in which various setting information and control information are stored. Includes non-volatile memory and hard disk drive (HDD).

  Hereinafter, main signal processing systems of the video recording / reproducing apparatus 2 will be described. For example, a digital television broadcast signal received by an antenna for terrestrial broadcast reception (not shown) or an antenna for BS / CS digital broadcast reception (not shown) is supplied to the tuner unit 21. The tuner unit 21 selects a broadcast signal of a desired channel based on a control signal from the control device 25, and outputs the selected broadcast signal to the data processing unit 22. The tuner unit 21 has time acquisition means (not shown) for acquiring data including time information regarding the title included in the received signal from the outside.

  The data processing unit 22 demodulates the broadcast signal selected by the tuner unit 21 according to a control signal from the control device 25 to obtain a transport stream (TS) including a desired program. Further, the data processing unit 22 performs TS decoding processing on the transport stream (TS) multiplexed signal under the control of the control device 25, and various data for acquiring a program transmitted by digital broadcasting. And subtitle information, electronic program guide (EPG) information, program attribute information (program genre, etc.) and the like are output to the control device 25.

  In addition, the data processing unit 22 performs encryption and compression processing on the supplied broadcast signal based on the control signal from the control device 25, and records it in the storage unit 24 via the control device 25.

  The data processing unit 22 outputs the video signal and audio signal after the digital signal processing to the output processing unit 23. The output processing unit 23 selectively performs predetermined digital signal processing on the digital video signal and audio signal supplied from the data processing unit 22 and outputs the result.

  When the broadcast signal is accompanied by a caption signal and the caption can be displayed, the output processing unit 23 performs processing for superimposing the caption information on the video signal based on the control signal and the caption information from the control device 25.

  Further, the output processing unit 23 superimposes the OSD signal on the supplied video signal. The output processing unit 23 can selectively output the output video signal of the data processing unit 22 and the OSD signal, and can also output both the outputs in combination so as to constitute half of the screen. .

  Note that the OSD signal can be output by being superimposed on a normal video display in a “semi-transparent” state (a part of the normal video signal can be transmitted) by setting α blending parameters. it can.

  Furthermore, the output processing unit 23 converts the digital video signal and the OSD signal supplied from the data processing unit 22 into an analog video signal that can be reproduced as video (moving image / still image) output by the display device (monitor device). Convert to and output.

  The output processing unit 23 may be connected to, for example, a DVD recorder device using a DVD standard optical disc as a recording medium, or a video recorder device using a conventional video tape as a recording medium.

  In the video recording / playback apparatus according to the present embodiment, the control device 25 performs display setting of a subtitle information list display screen for searching for a position in the title based on the subtitle information obtained from the recorded program information.

  An example of a subtitle information list display screen, which is a search screen using subtitle information, is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the subtitle information list display screen includes a subtitle position display B2 corresponding to a list display (hereinafter, subtitle list display) such as subtitle CAP and chapter information CH, and a time within the title of the subtitle list display, and a subtitle position. An in-title position display B1 indicating the position of the entire title is displayed. In addition, a selection frame SL is displayed in the subtitle list display as necessary. For example, by operating a cursor key of the remote controller 3, the user can select an arbitrary item from the subtitle list display.

  Part of the subtitle information acquisition operation is performed at the time of title recording. When recording a title, the control device 25 causes the tuner unit 21 to select a broadcast signal in accordance with a user selection information signal input to the input unit 26 and supplies the obtained broadcast signal to the data processing unit 22. Then, the program information and the caption information are separated, and the compression processing according to the setting is performed.

  At the time of this compression processing, the extraction list (hereinafter referred to as the caption pointer list) is stored with the position of the caption information in the compressed video data as the pointer (hereinafter referred to as the caption pointer). After the compression process, the program information, the compressed video data, and the caption pointer list are stored in the storage unit 24. These controls are performed by the control device 25.

  The control device 25 extracts subtitle information from the compressed video data based on the subtitle pointer list, and creates table data for displaying the subtitle list. By creating table data for subtitle list display using the subtitle pointer list in this way, the recording area of the storage unit 24 can be used effectively, and the table data creation process can be performed smoothly. .

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the control device 25 includes a caption analysis unit 251 that analyzes the supplied caption information. The caption analysis unit 251 analyzes the configuration of caption information acquired from the title. The analysis signal output from the caption analysis unit 251 is transmitted to the display time information extraction unit 252. The display time information extraction unit 252 extracts the time in the title at which a desired caption is displayed from the supplied analysis information.

  The output signal of the display time information extraction unit 252 is transmitted to the table generation unit 253. The table generation unit 253 extracts subtitle information based on the subtitle pointer list of the title designated to search within the title, generates table data from the extracted subtitle information and the subtitle display time, and generates a storage unit 24. The table data may be stored in the HDD or the like, or may be temporarily stored in the memory without being stored in the HDD or the like.

  At this time, the table generation unit 253 determines whether or not the display time interval between the subtitle and the subtitle is equal to or longer than a predetermined time. If there is an interval equal to or longer than the predetermined time, an empty space is generated between the subtitle and the subtitle. Character or symbol data for informing the user that there is no line data or subtitles is inserted at predetermined intervals.

  In the video recording / playback apparatus according to the present embodiment, the table generation unit 253 determines whether or not there is a portion where the display time interval between the subtitles is 8 minutes or more, and there is an interval of 8 minutes or more. In such a case, blank line data is inserted into the corresponding part every five minutes, and the caption, blank line data, and caption display time are stored in the storage unit 24 as table data. Further, when the recorded title information includes chapter information, the table generation unit 253 also inserts the chapter information into the table data and stores it in the storage unit 24.

  In this way, when table data is created by inserting blank line data or predetermined character or symbol data between subtitles, the display time interval between subtitles and subtitles is adjusted so that it is not unnecessarily widened. This makes it possible to improve the operability of the search within the title.

  Furthermore, by inserting chapter information into the table data, both a rough search for each chapter and a fine search using subtitles are possible, and the operability for the user can be further improved.

  Here, when receiving the subtitle search selection operation signal from the input unit 26, the control unit 250 causes the table generation unit 253 to transmit the table data stored in the storage unit 24 to the subtitle information list display setting unit 254.

  The subtitle information list display setting unit 254 includes a selection frame display position setting unit 2541, a subtitle display range setting unit 2542, a subtitle position display setting unit 2543, and an in-title subtitle position display setting unit 2544.

  The selection frame display position setting unit 2541 determines whether or not the title is being reproduced. If the title is being reproduced, the position of the selection frame SL is set as the subtitle position of the scene currently being reproduced. When the title is not reproduced, the position of the selection frame SL is the head of the title.

  The setting information in the selection frame display position setting unit 2541 is transmitted to the caption display range setting unit 2542. The subtitle display range setting unit 2542 sets a subtitle list range to be displayed on the screen based on the set position of the selection frame SL.

  The setting information in the caption display range setting unit 2542 is transmitted to the caption position display setting unit 2543. The subtitle position display setting unit 2543 sets the position display of the subtitle list based on the set display range of the subtitle list, such as the subtitle position display B2 shown in FIG.

  Further, based on the setting in the subtitle display range setting unit 2542, the in-title subtitle position display setting unit 2544, for example, the in-title position of the range of the displayed subtitle list, as in the in-title position display B1 shown in FIG. Set to display.

  Note that the subtitle position display setting performed by the subtitle position display setting unit 2543 and the subtitle position display setting within the title performed by the subtitle position display setting unit 2544 within the title may be reversed in order as shown in FIG. It may be done in parallel.

  The output of the caption information list display setting unit 254 is transmitted to the caption information list display unit 255. The subtitle information list display unit 255 displays the subtitle information list display screen based on the setting information of the selection frame position, subtitle display range, subtitle position display, and in-title subtitle position display set by the subtitle information list display setting unit 254. Display.

  That is, the caption information list display unit 255 transmits the setting information set by the caption information list display setting unit 254 to the output processing unit 23. The output processing unit 23 generates an OSD signal for displaying the caption information list display screen based on the transmitted setting information, superimposes the OSD signal on the video signal, and outputs the OSD signal to the television receiver 1. The television receiver 1 displays a caption information list display screen as shown in FIG. 4 on the display screen based on the supplied signal.

  At this time, in the video recording / playback apparatus according to the present embodiment, for example, when the user scrolls the subtitle, the video / audio playback position P1 is not linked with the scroll, and only the subtitle display range is displayed as shown in FIG. Scroll to display.

  When the user selects a subtitle list using the selection frame SL on the displayed subtitle information list display screen, the subtitle information selection unit 256 acquires display time information in the title of the selected subtitle list. The video playback unit 257 searches the recorded title based on the time information acquired by the subtitle information selection unit 256, and plays back the video corresponding to the subtitle list selected by the user.

  Further, in the video recording / playback apparatus according to the present embodiment, when the subtitle information list display screen is displayed, when the user selects the fast forward or fast reverse operation, as shown in FIG. Are updated so as to be linked to the fast-forward or fast-reverse movement of the video.

  In this case, since the subtitle display range and the video are fast-forwarded or rewinded in conjunction with each other, when the user selects a subtitle list with the selection frame SL on the displayed subtitle information list display screen, the video reproduction unit 257 The video is played back from the video position (video / audio playback position P2) displayed at the timing when the user selects the subtitle.

  Hereinafter, the display operation of the caption information list display screen will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 7, when detecting that the user has pressed the “subtitle list search” button on the remote controller 3 (step STA1), the control device 25 creates a display subtitle list (step STA2).

  The display start subtitle on the screen is selected depending on whether or not the title is being played back. The time information of the display start subtitle is obtained from the table, and the search screen is drawn accordingly. At this time, the position of the selection frame SL is set to the position of the start subtitle.

  That is, the control device 25 determines whether or not the title is being reproduced (abandonment step STA3). When the title is being played back, the control device 25 sets the caption at the current playback position as the initially selected caption, and the caption display range and caption position at the start of display so that the initially selected caption is closest to the center of the screen. Display and subtitle position display in title are set (step STA4).

  When the title is not being reproduced, the subtitle at the head of the title is set as the initial selected subtitle and the display start subtitle, and the subtitle display range, subtitle position display, and subtitle position display within the title are set (step STA5). .

  When the subtitle display range, subtitle position display, and in-title subtitle position display at the start of display are set, the control device 25 transmits an OSD signal for displaying the “subtitle list search screen” on the output processing unit 23. Then, a subtitle list search screen is displayed on the screen of the television receiver 1 (step STA6).

  When it is detected that the cursor key of the remote controller 3 is pressed while the subtitle list search screen is displayed (step STA7), the control device 25 updates the setting of the selected subtitle according to the pressed cursor key. (Step STA8).

  At this time, if the displayed subtitle list needs to be scrolled (step STA9), the subtitle display range setting is updated so that the selected subtitle is closest to the center of the screen, and the subtitle display range setting is adjusted. The settings of the caption position display and the caption position display within the title are also updated (step STA10). Even when the cursor key of the remote controller 3 is pressed, if there is no need to scroll the displayed subtitle list, only the position of the selection frame is updated (step STA15).

  When it is detected that the user has pressed the “decision” button on the remote controller 3 (step STA13), the vicinity of the subtitle display start position in the title is searched based on the time information of the selected subtitle information and reproduced (step STA14). ).

  When it is detected that the user has pressed the “cancel” button on the remote controller 3 (step STA11), the control device 25 returns to the screen before the start of the subtitle list search screen (step STA12) and ends the subtitle list search.

  The display subtitle list shown in FIG. 7 is created (step STA2) as shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the control device 25 acquires a caption pointer list of the title from the storage unit 24, and creates a list of captions sorted in time order from the video data (step STB1). Next, the subtitle list is converted into table data including the display time in the title and subtitles (step STB2).

  Further, it is determined whether or not chapter information exists in the title of the control means 25 (step STB3). If it is present, the chapter head position time and the chapter name are listed and inserted into the table data (step STB4).

  Further, the control means 25 determines whether or not there is a location where the list interval extends over, for example, 8 minutes or more from the created table data (step STB5). If there is an interval of 8 minutes or longer, blank line data is inserted every 5 minutes in the corresponding location so that the list interval does not increase more than necessary (step STB6).

  By performing the search within the title using the caption information as described above, the user can search intuitively and in a shorter time. Further, in the video recording / playback apparatus and video recording / playback method according to the present embodiment, when the display time interval of the caption information is a certain time or more, blank data or the like is inserted into the table data. Even titles that do not have any can be searched by the same operation.
