Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a genre-based recording label adding device for a video-integrated television.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to meet the demand for miniaturization, decoding, and multi-functionality in a video-integrated television that integrates a conventional VTR (or VCR) and a television receiver, the service functions of the individual television receiver and VCR devices themselves Is often the minimum required.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional video-integrated television set, compared to the recent dedicated VCR having various service functions, the additional function of the VCR device part is simple and there is no INDEX function even when recording a program. Therefore, there was a problem that it was impossible to distinguish what program was recorded later.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the genre of the recorded program can be seen at a glance by additionally recording the label characters of the program genre pre-classified when recording the program. The purpose is to provide a device for adding recording labels by genre.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, in a recording / reproducing apparatus, a program label input section for selectively displaying a program genre and a recording label corresponding to a program label code output from the input section at a designated position. It is characterized by having an OSD display unit for outputting.

[0006]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, when the program is recorded, if the program is a movie, "CIN EMA" is selected, and the key representing the genre of the program is selected from the 12 program label character keys on the remote controller representing the program genre. Program label character key code is transmitted, the input analysis unit on the recording device side determines and analyzes the program label character key code, and then the display code conversion unit displays the program label character key code in characters. The display flag is set in the display flag section and sent to the OSD (On Screen Display) processing section. The OSD display section judges the display flag, reads the display code, and records character characters. As it is output so that it is recorded at the specified position on the screen, it is possible to add a label for each genre to the program recording.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a genre-specific recording label adding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a remote control device for both TV image reception / VCR, which incorporates a TV / VCR changeover switch, a transmission IC, an infrared light emitting element, etc., and is provided with 12 program label character keys 2. Has been.

Reference numeral 3 is a VCR device, which receives a program label character key code transmitted by pressing the number label character key 2 of the remote controller 1, stores it in a buffer and analyzes it, and an input analysis unit 6. A display code conversion unit 7 for converting the program label character key code analyzed by the unit 6 into a display code of the label character display, a display flag unit 8 for setting a display flag for displaying the label character, the display flag and the display. It is composed of an OSD display section 9 for generating a character figure from a code and outputting designated positions on both sides of the recording, a recording / reproducing section 10 and a tuner section 11.

A TV receiver 4 is used as a monitor of the VCR 3. Reference numeral 5 is a switch for switching the VCR 3 signal and the TV channel signal.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing types of program label character keys shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the program label character keys of the remote controller 1 are 11 keys from the 1st key to which the movie program [CINEMA] is assigned to the 11th key to which [SPORTS] representing a sports program is assigned. And the 12th [RAVEL OFF] key for turning off the program label character display.

3 and 4 are flowcharts of the processing of the embodiment shown in FIG. Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. When the operator selects a channel with the tuner 11 via the antenna 12 and records a program with the recording / reproducing unit 10, if the program recorded from the remote controller 1 is a documentary program, the number label character When the 5th key [DOCUMENT T] key of the key 2 is pressed, the program label character key code of the document is transmitted from the light emitting portion of the remote controller 1.

Since the program label character key code is 12 signals, for example, 2 ⁴ = 16 ways of “0,0,0,0” to “1,1,1,” as a signal of ⁴ bits. Do so by assigning up to 1 ”to each key.

Upon receiving the program label character key code from the remote controller 1, the input analysis unit 6 stores it in the buffer and analyzes the content to determine whether it is the program label character key code (S-20). In the case of a program label character key code, the display code conversion unit 7 converts the program label character key code into a character character display code, and the contents of the display code are stored in a designated buffer (S -21). After being converted into a display code, a program label character display flag indicating the program label character display mode is set in the display flag section 8 (S-22) and sent to the OSD display section 9.

The OSD display unit 9 judges whether the program label character display flag is set (S-25), and if the flag is set, the display code of the contents of the designated buffer stored in S-21. A character / figure is generated according to the above, and is output to the recording / reproducing unit 10 so as to be composited and added to the designated position on the recording screen (S-26). If the program label character display flag is not set, the program label character erasing process is performed and the process returns (S-27).

In the determination processing of S-20, if the received code of the input analysis unit 6 is not the program label character key code, it is the 12th key of the remote controller 1, that is, the code by the program label character display OFF. Is determined (S-23). In the case of the program label character display OFF code, the program label character display flag is cleared and the process returns (S-24). If it is not the program label character display OFF code, the process returns as it is.

In this embodiment, 12 program label character keys are provided on the remote controller side, and when a quiz program is being recorded, the [QUIZ] key is pressed to display “QUIZ” on the screen. When the operator wants to end the time recording of the program label by recording the display, the display disappears from the recording screen when the 12th program label character OFF key is pressed. It will be clear at a glance if the program was recorded, and the usability of a video-integrated TV will be improved.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the remote control unit having 12 program label character keys for displaying the program genre, the input analysis unit for analyzing remote control data from the remote control, and the analyzed program label A display code conversion unit that converts a character key code into a display code, a display flag unit that sets a display flag, and an OSD display that determines the display flag and outputs the recorded character character according to the display code to a specified position. Since it has a section, it becomes clear at a glance what program genre was recorded, which has the effect of expanding the functions of a video-integrated television set.
