Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute the position control of a tape with the same feeling as in a case to open a book by using a program searching device equipped with a detector to discriminate the form of a recording part, input part for an analog or pseudo analog signal and arithmetic part. CONSTITUTION:When a video tape 13 is inserted to a video recorder 20, a detector 2 detects the length of the video tape 13, the mode picked up for recording and the winding state of the tape, etc., and sends a signal to an arithmetic part 3 concerning the state of the video tape 13. Next, the position of the picture, which a user desires to observe, is formed to be an input signal by touching any one point of an input part 1, where a pressure sensitive sensors 5 are arranged, and this input signal is sent to the arithmetic part 3. The arithmetic part 3 totalizes and calculates the signals sent from both the input part 1 and the detector 2 and works the signal to a control signal to be used by a motor control part 11. Then, the control signal is sent to the motor control part 11. Thus, the motor control part 11 drives a motor 12 according to the sent control signal and a program is searched.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cueing device for tape recorders, video recorders, etc. used for recording audio, images, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Traditionally, cueing devices in video recorders and the like have been used to input the time from the beginning of the tape, or to input specific signals at predetermined intervals during recording.
A method (VISSVASS) is used in which the signal is detected during fast forwarding and playback is started from that position.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, since conventional cueing devices are controlled by digital signals, input requires complicated procedures such as entering several numbers accurately.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cueing device that allows cueing to occur as easily as opening a book, by making it possible to input a cueing signal in analog or pseudo-analog mode.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
A detector that determines the format and status of the recording section, an input section for analog 1 or pseudo analog signals, and a calculation section that integrates and calculates the signals from the detector and input section and outputs the signal to the drive device control section. It has been established that

Effect The present invention uses a cueing device that has a detector for determining the format and state of the recording section, an analog 1 or pseudo analog signal input section, and an arithmetic section. This allows for easy cueing.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the structure of the cueing device of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an input section for analog 1 or pseudo-analog signals, 2 is a detector for determining the format and state of a recording section such as a tape, and 3 is a signal from input section 1 and detector 2. This is a calculation unit that integrates and calculates the information, and outputs a signal to the drive device control unit. 4 is a drive device control unit that controls a drive device (not shown) such as a motor.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a cueing device applied to the video recorder 20 of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, an input section 1 in which a plurality of pressure-sensitive sensors 5 are arranged
, a detector 2 that determines the format and state of the recording section, a calculation section 3 that processes the signal from the input section 1 and the signal from the detector 2 and outputs information about the beginning position, and a motor 12.
, a motor control section 11, a video tape 13, and other video recorder components (not shown).

The operation of the configurations shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as described above will be explained below. 1. Video recorder 20
When the videotape 13 is inserted into the computer, the detector 2 detects the length of the videotape 13, the recording mode in which it is recorded, the winding state, etc., and determines the state of the videotape 13. The signal is sent to the calculation section 3. Next, touch one point of the input section 1 in which the pressure-sensitive sensor 5 is arranged to indicate the position of the image you want to see as an input signal, and this input signal is sent to the calculation section 3. Part 1 integrates the signals sent from both detectors 2,
The calculated control signal is processed into a control signal to be used by the motor control section 11, and the control signal is sent to the upper motor control section II. The motor control unit 11 drives the motor 12 according to the sent control signal to perform cueing.

In this embodiment, an arrangement of pressure sensitive sensors 5 is used as the input section, but any input section may be used as long as it is easy for a person to use, such as a variable resistor used for adjusting the volume.

This device can also be applied to various devices, such as a position determining device for a crane.Advantages of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a detector for determining the type of recording section, and an analog 1 By using a cueing device that has an input section for analog signals or a pseudo analog signal, and a calculation section, a simple cueing device can be realized, and the position of the tape can be controlled in the same way as when opening a book. be able to.
