Abstract

PURPOSE:To find an aimed program with a one-time operation by inputting plural pieces of timer program information and address information for program search, transferring an address information signal for the program search from a storage control means at the time of executing each reserved timer program, and writing an reserved address on a VTR tape. CONSTITUTION:A VTR control signal and an address signal for the program search (a VASS signal) are supplied from a timer microcomputer 2 to a VTR main frame 5 by a key input from a key input device 1, and the reservation information is stored in a memory 21 in the timer microcomputer 2. The timer microcomputer 2 outputs the VTR control signal to the VTR main frame 5 in accordance with reserved contents when a day of a week and a start/end time in the reserved contents coincide with a current day of the week and a current time. The address reserved for each execution of each program is written on a tape through an address writing means simultaneously with the start of the execution of the program, every address written simultaneously with the execution can be confirmed after a series of timer picture recording is completed, and the program search after that can be executed easily. Thus, the aimed program can be found with the one-time operation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a timer reservation execution device for a video tape recorder (VTR), and particularly relates to a timer reservation execution device for a video tape recorder (VTR). ).This invention relates to a timer reservation execution device that can automatically write.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, with a timer reservation program for a VTR, it is possible to reserve a plurality of desired programs at a desired time. What is set in this timer reservation program are the day of the week, start time, end time, recording source (television channel number), and recording speed (standard 9x speed mode).

Furthermore, when executing a program for each reserved program, V
It was possible to automatically write a cue signal q called ISS. With this VRSS, it is possible to input a cue signal to any location, and when playing back what has been recorded, the VI
Find the cue signal by pressing the SS button,
For example, it is possible to search for the beginning of a recorded signal one after another for several seconds.

Therefore, when you later watch a book tape with multiple scheduled recordings, in order to find the desired program, you must perform cueing by detecting the cue signal by VISS, or search the entire tape. I was searching for it while watching the recorded contents.

Furthermore, in the past, if you wanted to be able to call up the program you wanted to watch directly, you would have to write an address signal for each program you searched for using one of the above methods, which was a time-consuming problem. Ta.

What's more, there was no way to check the addresses from and to the address later.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventionally, when attempting to cue the beginning of a program recorded by timer reservation, it has been difficult to find the desired program with a single operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a timer reservation execution device that can find a desired program with a single operation and has excellent operability.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The timer reservation execution device of the present invention includes an input means having a function of inputting a plurality of timer program information and cueing address information for each timer program; It has a memory that stores information from this input means, and compares the timer program information stored in this memory with the current time from the clock circuit, and when the contents of the formulation match, a control signal is sent to set the recording mode. is output to the VTR main body, while the address information signal for cueing is output from the memory to VTR.
A storage control means for outputting to the TR main body, and a storage control means provided in the VTR main body, to which an address information signal for cueing is transferred from the storage control means when each reserved timer program is executed, and an address information signal to be written to the VTR tape is written. and a loading means.

(Function) In the present invention, when inputting and setting timer program information, an address for cueing can be reserved for each program at the same time, and each time each program is executed, the reserved address is used to start the execution ( At the same time as the start of recording, the address is written onto the tape through the address writing means. and,
After completing a series of timer recordings, you can check all the addresses that were entered and exited at the same time as the execution, making subsequent cues easier.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on the example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a timer reservation execution device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this figure, in the timer reservation execution device, a key person horn device 1 is connected to a timer microcomputer 2, and a display device 3 and a clock circuit 4 are connected to the timer microcomputer 2.
A timer microcomputer 2 supplies VTR control signals for recording and playback, etc. and an address signal for cueing (VASS signal) to the VTR main body 5 by key input from a key input device 1.

The key input device 1 inputs program reservation information using, for example, a push-button type input key, and stores the reservation information in the memory 21 within the timer microcomputer 2.

At the same time, the reservation information is displayed on the display device 3.

Program reservation information includes program reservation number, day of the week,
There are N time, OFF time, channel number, and cue address (referred to as VASS) for each program. The timer microcomputer 2 compares the current one-hour day of the week input from the clock circuit 4 with the reservation contents stored in the memory 21. The timer microcomputer 2 determines the day of the week, start time, or day of the reservation.

If the end times match, the VTR body 5 will be moved according to the reservation details.
A VTR control signal is output to the terminal. The VTR control signal sets the recording mode, channel, etc.

In addition, when setting timer reservation programs, VASS signals for each program are also stored in the memory 21, and when recording of those programs is executed, the VASS signals are reserved from the timer microcomputer 2 to the address writing device 51 in the VTR body 5. The address is transferred and automatically written from the recording head 52 onto the tape. Further, if an address is not set when setting the timer reservation, the timer microcomputer 2 automatically assigns and writes numbers starting from O in the order of execution when recording each program. Furthermore, at the end of a series of timer recordings or during the execution of a reservation, for example, by pressing the confirmation button on the key operator 1, the reserved address is recalled from the memory 21, and the address written on the tape is displayed. It can be displayed on the device 3 for confirmation.

In this case, the cueing address can be displayed on the display device 3 together with the execution start time and end time for confirmation.

With the above configuration, searching for a target program at the end of recording can be easily done by simply specifying an address. If,
Even if you forget the reserved address, you can always check it and cue the desired program by recalling the stored contents.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to find a desired program with a single operation, and it is possible to perform cueing with excellent operability.
