FIG. 2 is a flowchart relating to a user registration method by the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment.

  When the control unit 23 in the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 accepts a user registration operation via the input key 21 (S11), the control unit 23 reads the menu screen data stored in the EEPROM 20 and performs OSD processing. The unit 18 is controlled to cause the display unit 17 to output a menu screen (S12). In the present embodiment, a unique identification code stored in the memory 4 of the external device 2 is associated with a predetermined user code and stored in advance in the EEPROM 20, and unique information is stored for each user code. By registering, information for each identification code is registered. In step 13, when data such as the user name and age is input by the user, the control unit 23 stores the user registration information in the EEPROM 20 (S13). When a plurality of users respectively use the external device 2, the user registration is completed by repeating the steps of the flowchart relating to the user registration method.

  The above-described user registration can be executed by operating any of the input keys 21 of the remote control 26 and the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7.

[Recording management method]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart relating to a recording management method by the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment. In the recording management method of FIG. 3, it is assumed that the external device 2 is carried by a plurality of users.

If the input key 21 provided in the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 is pressed in step 21 and a broadcast program recording operation or recording reservation operation is accepted, the HDD recorder-integrated television is received. The control unit 23 in the broadcast receiver 7 controls the Bluetooth module 24 to receive the identification code from the external device 2 (S22). If the identification code is received by the Bluetooth module 24, the process proceeds to step 26.
On the other hand, when the identification code 24 is not received, the control unit 23 reads the OSD screen stored in the EEPROM 20, controls the OSD processing unit 18, and the power of the external device 2 is turned on to the display unit 17. A warning display indicating that there is no data is output (S24). When the user turns on the power switch of the external device 2 and the Bluetooth module 24 in the HDD 7 receives the identification code (S25), the process proceeds to step 26. Conversely, if the Bluetooth module 24 has not received the identification code, step 25 is repeated. However, when a configuration in which a voltage is constantly supplied to each part of the external device 2 is employed instead of a configuration in which a power switch is provided in the external device 2 as in the present embodiment, steps 24 to 25 may be omitted. I can do it.

If the Bluetooth module 24 receives a plurality of identification codes in step 26, the comparison unit 25 in the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 receives the received plurality of identification codes. The identification codes having the strongest reception strength are extracted by comparing the strengths (RSSI), output to the control unit 23 (S27), and the process proceeds to step 28. On the contrary, if the Bluetooth module 24 receives only one identification code in step 26, the process proceeds to step 28.

  In step 28, the control unit 23 reads the user code corresponding to the identification code output from the comparison unit 25 from the EEPROM 20, controls the OSD processing unit 18 and outputs the menu screen to the display unit 17, and then proceeds to step 29. Transition. In step 29, if the user name displayed on the menu screen is different from the user performing the recording operation, the user can be changed. When the control unit 23 receives a user change operation via the input key 21 (S30), the control unit 23 performs recording processing or recording reservation processing by associating data of a broadcast program to be recorded with a user code (S30). S31). At this time, the user code and recorded program information are stored in the management data area in the HDD 11. If the control unit 23 does not accept the user's change operation in step 29, the process proceeds to step 31.

  It should be noted that the external device 2 equipped with the memory 4 storing the identification code having the strongest reception strength is generally determined as the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7. Therefore, when the user carrying the external device 2 operates the HDD recorder integrated television broadcast receiver 7, the identification code of the user is extracted by the comparison unit 25. However, depending on the environment in which the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 is used, the external device 2 with the closest physical distance may not necessarily be extracted as the external device 2 that stores the identification code with the highest reception intensity. . Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to cope with this point by providing step 29 as a configuration for accepting a user's change.

[Playback management method]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart relating to a playback management method by the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment. In the reproduction management method of FIG. 4, it is assumed that the external device 2 is carried by a plurality of users.

In step 41, when the input key 21 provided in the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 is pressed and a playback operation of the recorded broadcast program is accepted, the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver is received. 7 controls the Bluetooth module 24 to receive the identification code from the external device 2 (S42). Bluetooth module 2
If the identification code is received by 4 (S43), the process proceeds to step 46. On the other hand, when the identification code is not received by the Bluetooth module 24, the control unit 23 reads the OSD screen stored in the EEPROM 20, controls the OSD processing unit 18, and displays the power of the external device 2 on the display unit 17. A warning display to the effect that no is entered is output (S44). Then, when the user turns on the power switch of the external device 2 and the Bluetooth module 24 in the HDD 7 receives the identification code (S45), the process proceeds to step 46. Conversely, if the Bluetooth module 24 has not received the identification code, step 45 is repeated. However, when a configuration in which a voltage is constantly supplied to each part of the external device 2 is employed instead of a configuration in which a power switch is provided in the external device 2 as in the present embodiment, steps 44 to 45 may be omitted. I can do it.

In step 46, when the Bluetooth module 24 receives a plurality of identification codes, the comparison unit 25 in the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 receives the received intensities of the plurality of identification codes. (RSSI) are compared, and the identification code having the strongest reception strength is extracted, outputted to the control unit 23 (S47), and the process proceeds to step 48. On the other hand, if the Bluetooth module 24 receives only one identification code in step 46, the process proceeds to step 48.

  In step 48, the control unit 23 reads the user code corresponding to the identification code output from the comparison unit 25 from the EEPROM 20, controls the OSD processing unit 18 and the HDD 11, and stores the user code in association with the user code. The program list of the recorded program data is output to the display unit 17, and the process proceeds to step 49. A specific program list will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows a program list 100 showing broadcast program data recorded for each user, a small screen 101 for displaying the user name, a small screen 102a for outputting a still image of the recorded program, and the broadcast date and time of the recorded program. , A small screen 102 including a small screen 102b on which program information such as a broadcast station name and a program name is displayed, and a cursor 103 of a currently selected recorded program.

  In step 49, when the user name displayed on the small screen 101 of the program list 100 is different from the user name who performs the recording operation, the program list can be switched to the data of the desired user name and displayed. When the control unit 23 receives a program list change operation via the input key 21 (S50), the control unit 23 causes the display unit 17 to output a program list with the corresponding user name, and proceeds to step 51. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 49 that the control unit 23 does not accept an operation of switching the program list 100 output to the display unit 17 to another program list 100 and outputting it, the process proceeds to step 51.

  It should be noted that the external device 2 equipped with the memory 4 storing the identification code having the strongest reception strength is generally determined as the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7. Therefore, when the user carrying the external device 2 operates the HDD recorder integrated television broadcast receiver 7, the identification code of the user is extracted by the comparison unit 25. However, depending on the environment in which the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 is used, the external device 2 with the closest physical distance may not necessarily be extracted as the external device 2 that stores the identification code with the highest reception intensity. . Therefore, in this embodiment, this point can be dealt with by providing step 49 as a configuration for accepting a user's change.

  In step 51, when the user moves the cursor 103 to a desired recorded program among the plurality of small screens 102 displayed in the program list 100 and selects a predetermined recorded program, the control unit 23 causes the HDD 11 to be turned on. This is controlled and output to the display unit 17.

[Effect]
According to the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the identification code is transmitted and received between the external device 2 and the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 by wireless communication using the Bluetooth module 3 and the Bluetooth module 24. Therefore, as compared with communication having directivity characteristics such as infrared communication, the identification code can be transmitted and received even when a shielding object is present, which is highly convenient.

In general, the reception intensity increases as the physical distance is shorter. However, according to the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the identification code output from the Bluetooth module 3 of the external device 2 is used as the HDD recorder integrated television. Since it is received by the Bluetooth module 24 in the broadcast receiver 7 and the comparison unit 25 compares the reception strength of the identification code and outputs the identification code having the strongest reception strength to the control unit 23, the HDD recorder integrated television The external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the broadcast receiver 7 can be specified. Therefore, the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 can be specified. Therefore, when the user carries the external device 2, the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast reception is the most. A user located near the machine 7 can be specified, and the user can be automatically specified without performing an operation such as inputting authentication data.

In step 67, when the Bluetooth module 32 in the remote controller 26 receives a plurality of identification codes, the comparison unit 33 compares the received strengths (RSSI) of the plurality of identification codes received, An identification code having the highest reception strength is extracted and output to the control unit 29. The control unit 29 outputs the user input relating to the recording / recording reservation received via the input key 28 and the identification code to the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 via the infrared light emitting unit 30 (S68), Control goes to step 70. On the other hand, when the Bluetooth module 32 receives only one identification code in step 67,
The comparison unit 33 outputs the identification code to the control unit 29, and the control unit 29 receives the user input regarding the recording / recording reservation received via the input key 28 and the identification code via the infrared light emitting unit 30. The data is output to the body-type television broadcast receiver 7 (S69), and the process proceeds to step 70.

  In step 70, the control unit 23 in the HDD 7 reads the user code corresponding to the identification code received via the infrared light receiving unit 22 from the EEPROM 20, controls the OSD processing unit 18, and displays the menu screen on the display unit 17. The process proceeds to step 71. In step 71, when the user name displayed on the menu screen is different from the user who performs the recording / recording reservation operation, the user can be changed. When the control unit 29 accepts a user's change operation via the input key 28 of the remote control 26 and this is output to the HDD recorder integrated television broadcast receiver 7 via the infrared light emitting unit 30 (S71), the control unit 23 Reads the user code of the selected user name, and changes the user code stored in association with the program to be recorded / reserved for recording (S72). Then, the control unit 23 in the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 performs a recording process or a recording reservation process by associating data of a broadcast program to be recorded / recorded with a user code (S73). At this time, these pieces of information are stored in a management data area in the HDD 11. If the control unit 23 does not accept the user's change operation in step 71, the process proceeds to step 73.

  It should be noted that the external device 2 equipped with the memory 4 storing the identification code having the strongest reception strength is generally determined as the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7. Therefore, when the user carrying the external device 2 operates the HDD recorder integrated television broadcast receiver 7, the identification code of the user is extracted by the comparison unit 25. However, depending on the environment in which the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 is used, the external device 2 with the closest physical distance may not necessarily be extracted as the external device 2 that stores the identification code with the highest reception intensity. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, this point can be dealt with by providing step 71 as a configuration for accepting a user's change.

[Playback management method]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart relating to a playback management method by the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment. In the recording management method of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the external device 2 is carried by a plurality of users and that the power switch of the remote control 26 is turned on.

In step 81, when the input key 28 provided on the remote control 26 is pressed and a playback operation of the recorded broadcast program is accepted, the control unit 29 in the remote control 26 performs Bluetooth.
The module 32 is controlled to receive an identification code from the external device 2 (S82). When the identification code is received by the Bluetooth module 32 (S83), step 87 is performed.
Migrate to On the other hand, when the identification code is not received by the Bluetooth module 32, the control unit 29 receives a signal indicating that the identification code has not been received via the infrared light emitting unit 30 and the HDD recorder integrated television broadcast. It outputs to the machine 7 (S84). The control unit 23 of the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 receives the signal via the infrared light receiving unit 22, reads the OSD screen stored in the EEPROM 20, controls the OSD processing unit 18, and controls the external device 2. Is displayed on the display unit 17 (S85). When the power switch of the external device 2 is turned on by the user and the Bluetooth module 32 in the remote control 26 receives the identification code (S86), the process proceeds to step 87. Conversely, if the Bluetooth module 32 has not received the identification code (S86), step 86 is repeated. However, when a configuration in which a voltage is constantly supplied to each part of the external device 2 is employed instead of a configuration in which the power switch is provided in the external device 2 as in the present embodiment, steps 84 to 86 may be omitted. I can do it.

In step 87, when the Bluetooth module 32 in the remote control 26 receives a plurality of identification codes, the comparison unit 33 compares the received strengths (RSSI) of the plurality of identification codes, An identification code having the highest reception strength is extracted and output to the control unit 29. The control unit 29 outputs the user input relating to the reproduction of the recorded broadcast program received via the input key 28 and the identification code to the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 via the infrared light emitting unit 30 ( S88), the process proceeds to step 90. On the other hand, when the Bluetooth module 32 receives only one identification code in step 87, the comparison unit 33 outputs the identification code to the control unit 29, and the control unit 29 passes through the input key 28. The user input regarding the reproduction of the received recorded program and the identification code are output to the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 via the infrared light emitting unit 30 (S89), and the process proceeds to step 90.

  In step 90, the control unit 23 in the HDD 7 reads out the user code corresponding to the identification code received via the infrared light receiving unit 22 from the EEPROM 20, and controls the OSD processing unit 18 and the HDD 11 to control the user code. The program list of the recorded program data stored in association with is output to the display unit 17, and the process proceeds to step 91. A specific program list will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows a program list 100 showing broadcast program data recorded for each user, a small screen 101 for displaying the user name, a small screen 102a for outputting a still image of the recorded program, and the broadcast date and time of the recorded program. , A small screen 102 including a small screen 102b on which program information such as a broadcast station name and a program name is displayed, and a cursor 103 of a currently selected recorded program.

In step 91, when the user name displayed on the small screen 101 of the program list 100 is different from the user name who performs the playback operation of the recorded program, the program list 100 is switched to the data of the desired user name and displayed. I can do it. When the control unit 29 accepts a user's change operation via the input key 28 of the remote control 26 and this is output to the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 via the infrared light emitting unit 30 (S91), control is performed. The unit 23 causes the display unit 17 to output the program list 100 of the corresponding user name (S92), and proceeds to step 93. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 91 that the control unit 23 does not accept an operation of switching the program list 100 output to the display unit 17 to another program list 100 and outputting it, the process proceeds to step 93.

  It should be noted that the external device 2 equipped with the memory 4 storing the identification code having the strongest reception strength is generally determined as the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7. Therefore, when the user carrying the external device 2 operates the HDD recorder integrated television broadcast receiver 7, the identification code of the user is extracted by the comparison unit 25. However, depending on the environment in which the HDD recorder-integrated television broadcast receiver 7 is used, the external device 2 with the closest physical distance may not necessarily be extracted as the external device 2 that stores the identification code with the highest reception intensity. . Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to cope with this point by providing step 91 as a configuration for accepting a user's change.

  In step 93, when the user moves the cursor 103 to a desired recorded program among the plurality of small screens 102 displayed in the program list 100 and selects a predetermined recorded program, the control unit 23 causes the HDD 11 to operate. This is controlled and output to the display unit 17.

[Effect]

Compared with communication having the directivity characteristics, the identification code can be transmitted and received even when a shield is present, which is highly convenient.

In general, the reception strength increases as the physical distance is shorter. However, according to the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the identification code output from the Bluetooth module 3 of the external device 2 is used as the Bluetooth module in the remote control 26. 32, the comparison unit 33 compares the reception strength of the identification code, and outputs the identification code having the strongest reception strength to the control unit 29. Therefore, the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the remote controller 26 is selected. Can be identified. Accordingly, since the external device 2 having the closest physical distance from the remote control 26 can be specified, when the user carries the external device 2, the user who is closest to the remote control 26 can be specified. However, it is possible to automatically specify the user without performing an operation such as inputting authentication data.

Further, according to the recording / playback management system 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform recording / playback management of recorded data for each identification code by associating the identification code with the recorded data during broadcast program recording.
