The second device is therefore compatible with existing video recorders or receivers. It can be prepared as additional equipment.
今度はこの発明の実施例が、例として、添付の図面に関して説明されるが、その 図面中、 第１図はビデオレコーダの主構成部分を示しており、第２図は物理的構成を図解 した線図であり、第３図はオフエア式遠隔制御器の構成図であり、又第４図は既 知の制御信号形式を示している。Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: In the drawing, Figure 1 shows the main components of the video recorder, and Figure 2 illustrates the physical configuration. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of an off-air remote controller, and Figure 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of an off-air remote controller. The control signal format is shown below.
第１図に示されたビデオレコーダは電気機械的構成部分１０、電子回路１１及び 制御装置１２を備えている。The video recorder shown in FIG. 1 includes an electromechanical component 10, an electronic circuit 11 and A control device 12 is provided.
電子回路の入力及び出力はアンテナ１４及びテレビジョン受像機１５によって記 号化されている。制御装置１２には通常の前面パネル制御器１３が準備されてい る。レコーダには又、チャネル選択、記録、再生などを行うためのボタンを備え た手持ち式装置によって赤外線センサ１７に向けられた信号を拾い上げる通常の 使用者遠隔制御装置１６が準備されている。これまでに説明されたビデオレコー ダは通常の実施態様を表している。この発明によるレコーダには、使用者遠隔制 御装置１６によって通常与えられるのと全（同じ出力信号を主制御装置１２に与 えることのできるオフエア式遠隔制御装置１８が設けられている。このオフエア 式遠隔制御装置１８は、データ信号を伴った受信テレビジョン信号、例えばドイ ツのＶＰＳ標準に適合した信号、から電子回路１１を介してその入力を得ている 。このようなＶＰＳ符号は時折ドイツにおいてレコーダの動作を遠隔制御するた めに放送信号と共に送信される。第１図においてオフエア式装置１８は主制御装 置１２に直接給電するものとして示されている。しかしながら、この発明の採択 実施例においては、オフエア式装置はビデオレコーダ自体には組み込まれず、手 持ち式遠隔制御装置のために準備されたレコーダにおける入力装置を用いてレコ ーダに制御指令を送る分離した制御装置として構成されている。これはレコーダ に何らの変更を必要としないという利点を持っている。The inputs and outputs of the electronic circuit are recorded by the antenna 14 and the television receiver 15. coded. The control device 12 is equipped with a normal front panel controller 13. Ru. The recorder also has buttons for channel selection, recording, playback, etc. A conventional hand-held device that picks up signals directed at the infrared sensor 17 A user remote control device 16 is provided. Video records described so far Da represents a typical implementation. The recorder according to this invention has user remote control. The same output signal is provided to the main controller 12 as normally provided by the controller 16. An off-air remote control device 18 is provided that can be accessed from the vehicle. this off air The remote control device 18 receives a received television signal with data signals, e.g. It obtains its input through an electronic circuit 11 from a signal that complies with the VPS standard of . Such VPS codes are sometimes used in Germany for remote control of recorder operations. is transmitted along with the broadcast signal. In FIG. 1, the off-air device 18 is the main control device. It is shown as supplying power directly to the device 12. However, the adoption of this invention In an embodiment, the off-air device is not integrated into the video recorder itself, but is record using the input device in the recorder prepared for the hand-held remote control device. It is configured as a separate controller that sends control commands to the controller. this is a recorder It has the advantage of not requiring any changes.
レコーダが電線により接続された手持ち式装置を使用している場合には、制御器 が手持ち式装置の代わりに接続される。これには制御器が接続されているときに 手持ち式装置を使用することができないという欠点がある。この問題は手持ち式 装置のためのソケットを組み込んだプラグを制御器に設けることによって克服す ることができるであろう。If the recorder is a hand-held device connected by wire, the controller is connected in place of the handheld device. This is when the controller is connected. The disadvantage is that hand-held devices cannot be used. This problem is handheld be overcome by providing the controller with a plug that incorporates a socket for the device. You will be able to do so.
赤外線又は超音波遠隔制御方式の場合には、ちよ５ど手持ち式装置と同様に制御 器がセンサ１７に制御信号を放射するが、手持ち式装置もなお正常に使用するこ とができる。In the case of infrared or ultrasonic remote control methods, they can be controlled in the same way as hand-held devices. Although the device emits a control signal to the sensor 17, the handheld device can still be used normally. I can do it.
そのような放送制御器を用いた受信設備の構成は第２図に示されている。この場 合には、アンテナ１４及びテレビジョン受像機１５は通常の方法でレコーダ２０ に接続されるが、但しアンテナ信号は分離したオフニア式制制器３０を「経由し て回送コされる。テレビジョン受像機１５、レコーダ２０及び手持ち式遠隔制御 装置２４はすべて通常の方法で使用され得るが、但しオンエア式制御器３０が送 信信号の符号に応答するときは別である。The configuration of a receiving facility using such a broadcast controller is shown in FIG. this place If so, the antenna 14 and television receiver 15 are connected to the recorder 20 in the usual manner. However, the antenna signal is connected to a separate off-near controller 30. It will be forwarded to you. Television receiver 15, recorder 20 and handheld remote control All devices 24 may be used in a conventional manner, except that on-air controller 30 is It is different when responding to the sign of a signal.
制御器３０はＶＰＳ形式の信号に応答するように作られ得るが、しかし送信効率 及び便利さは制御符号のためにテレテキストデータ信号を用いることによって改 善することができる。Controller 30 can be made responsive to VPS type signals, but transmission efficiency and convenience is improved by using teletext data signals for control codes. can do good.
オフエア式制御器３０の主装置は第３図に示されている。アンテナ１４からの信 号はバッファ３１で処理されて、レコーダ２０への「回送」出力３２を与えると 共に通常のテレビジョン受像機のものに類似した同調器段３３及び復調器段３４ に供給される。利用可能な遠隔制御機能に対応するテレテキストデータ信号は次 にデータ復号器３６によって信号の垂直帰線期間から抽出され且つ再符号化され て、手持ち式制御器２４によって発生されるものと同じ符号化形式を備えた赤外 線（又は超音波）信号を発生する。The main components of off-air controller 30 are shown in FIG. The signal from antenna 14 The signal is processed in a buffer 31 to provide a "forward" output 32 to the recorder 20. A tuner stage 33 and a demodulator stage 34, both similar to those of a conventional television receiver. supplied to The teletext data signals corresponding to the available remote control functions are: is extracted from the vertical retrace interval of the signal by data decoder 36 and re-encoded. and an infrared signal with the same encoding format as that generated by handheld controller 24. Generates a line (or ultrasonic) signal.
適当なテレテキストデータ信号（データカスト（Ｄａ−１ａｃａｓｔ ）として 知られているもの）の構成が第４図に示されている。これは正規のテレテキスト 形式におけるクロックランイン（ＣＲＩ）及びフレーミングコード（ＦＣ）デー タで始まる２レベル信号からなっている。この方式に対する背景の詳細は、アイ ・イー・アール・イー会議出版物第６９号９３〜９８ページ所載の、１９８６年 ９月の、データ及びソフトウェアの電子式配達についてのアイ・イー・アール・ イー会議からのｒＢＥＣデータカスト−送信方式ｊ （＝ Ｂ Ｅ ＣＤａｔａ ｃａｓｔ ＴｈｅＴｒａｓｓｍｉｚａｉｏｓ ５ｙａｔａ＠″ｆｒｏｍ を五− ＦＩＢＲＥ Ｃｏ５ｆａ −ｖａｎａｍ ０％ Ｅｌｅｃｔｒｏｎｉｃ Ｄｅｌ ｉｖｅｒｙ ｏｆ Ｄａｔａ ａｎｄＳｏｆｔｗａｒｅ、Ｓｅｐｔｅｍｂｅｒ １９８６ ： ＩＥＲＥ Ｃｏｓｆａｒ−ｇｓｃａ Ｐｕｂｌｉｃａｔｉｏｎ ４６９、ｐｐ、９３−９８）において見いだされ得る。As a suitable teletext data signal (Da-1acast) The configuration of a known device is shown in FIG. This is a regular teletext Clock run-in (CRI) and framing code (FC) data in format It consists of a two-level signal starting with . For background details on this method, see ・E.R.E Conference Publication No. 69, pages 93-98, 1986 September IR Report on Electronic Delivery of Data and Software rBEC data cast-transmission method from e-conference (= B E CData cast TheTrassmizaios 5yata@″from 5- FIBER Co5fa-vanam 0% Electronic Del Very of Data and Software, September 1986: IERE Cosfar-gsca Publication 469, pp. 93-98).
分離したオフエア式遠隔制御装置１８を準備すれば、通常の家庭用ビデオレコー ダがデータ信号を利用することが可能になるが、これは装置３０がこの信号を有 効に復号化してこれを使用者遠隔制御装置２４からのものに似た制御信号に変換 するからである。従って、レコーダをオンにして放送による遠隔制御によって記 録を行うこと、記録されるチャネルを選択すること、番組の終了時に記録動作を 終了させることなどが可能になる。If a separate off-air remote control device 18 is prepared, it can be used as a normal home video recorder. The device 30 has access to the data signal. effectively decoding it into a control signal similar to that from the user remote control device 24. Because it does. Therefore, turn on the recorder and record by remote control via broadcasting. recording, selecting the channel to be recorded, and starting the recording operation at the end of the program. It becomes possible to terminate it.
手持ち式遠隔制御装置２４は通常特定の装置に専用である。すなわち、対応する ビデオレコーダ（又はテレビジョン受像機）に対するものに整合したただ一組の 制御符号を放出するであろう。しかしながら、付加的装置３０は多数の異なった 組のうちの任意の組の制御信号を与えることができ且つ所与の装置に対して所要 の組のものを与えるように制御装置を束縛するための選択器装置を有することが できるであろう。実現は主としてＲＯＭに設定された適当な符号についてのソフ トウェアに関係しているであろう。選択は異なったＲＯＭへの接続によって行わ れ得るであろう。Handheld remote control device 24 is typically dedicated to a particular device. That is, the corresponding Only one set matched to that for a video recorder (or television receiver) It will emit a control code. However, the additional device 30 can be used in many different ways. Any set of control signals can be provided and required for a given device. having a selector device for constraining the controller to give the set of It will be possible. Realization is mainly done by software with appropriate codes set in ROM. It may be related to software. Selection is made by connecting to different ROMs. may be possible.
