Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus having a timer function and a display function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus has a built-in timer device, and recording reservation and its contents can be confirmed by a display function.

A conventional magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus will be described below. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a conventional magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. In FIG. 2, 6 is a clock unit for moving the time which is the basis of recording reservation, 7 is a recording / reproducing unit for recording and reproducing, 8 is an operating unit for operating the recording / reproducing unit, and 10 is a recording / reproducing unit. A display unit for displaying the state of 7,
Is a control unit that controls the operation unit 8, the recording / reproducing unit 7, and the display unit 10.

The operation of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus having the above structure will be described below. First, the clock section 6 moves the time. The recording / reproducing unit 7 is operated from the operation unit 8 to turn the power on or off. Control unit 9
Controls the display unit 10 according to the state of the recording / reproducing unit 7. The display unit 10 displays according to the control unit 9. in this case,
The brightness of the display unit 10 is constant regardless of the time of the clock unit 6 and the state of the recording / reproducing unit 7.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, the brightness of the display is constant at any time, so that there is a problem in that the display unit 10 cannot be darkened even when it is desired to darken it while sleeping. .

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The display unit 10 is darkened during sleep or the like by performing display brightness control for controlling the brightness of the display unit 10 within a preset specific time range. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic recording / reproducing device capable of performing the above.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus of the present invention has a clock unit for moving a time serving as a reference for recording reservation, and a recording / reproducing unit for recording and reproducing.
A reproduction unit, an operation unit for operating the recording / reproduction unit, a display unit for displaying the state of the recording / reproduction unit, and a display brightness control and operation unit for controlling the brightness of the display unit within a preset specific time range. By providing a recording / playback unit and a control unit for controlling the display unit, display brightness control for controlling the brightness of the display unit within a preset specific time range is performed, and the display unit is darkened during sleep or the like. It has a configuration that can do.

[0008]

With this configuration, the display unit can be darkened during sleep or the like by performing the display brightness control for controlling the brightness of the display unit within the preset specific time range.

[0009]

【Example】

(Embodiment 1) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus of this embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a clock unit for moving a time that is the basis of recording reservation, 2 is a recording / reproducing unit for recording and reproducing, 3 is an operating unit for operating the recording / reproducing unit 2, 5
Is a display unit for displaying the state of the recording / playback unit 2, and 4 is a display brightness control for controlling the brightness of the display unit 5 within a preset specific time range, and the operation unit 3, the recording / playback unit 2, and the display unit 5. Is a control unit for controlling.

The operation of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. First, the specific time range is set, for example, from 0:00 to 6:00. The timepiece 1 moves the clock. The recording / reproducing unit 2 is operated from the operation unit 3 to turn off the power. The control unit 4 controls the display unit 5 according to the state of the recording / reproducing unit 2. The display unit 5 displays according to the control unit 4. The display brightness control of the control unit 4 can darken the display of the display unit 5 when the power is off, as compared with the clock unit 1 and a preset specific time range from 0 o'clock to 6 o'clock.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the clock unit 1 for moving the time that is the reference for recording reservation, the recording / reproducing unit 2 for recording and reproducing, and the operation for operating the recording / reproducing unit 2. Display section 5 for displaying the states of section 3 and recording / reproducing section 2
Further, by providing the display brightness control for controlling the brightness of the display unit 5 within a preset specific time range and the control unit 4 for controlling the operation unit 3, the recording / reproducing unit 2 and the display unit 5, the display unit 5 The display brightness can be controlled by controlling the brightness of the display within a preset specific time range, and the display unit 5 can be darkened during sleep or the like.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the clock unit 1 for moving the time which is the reference for recording reservation, the recording / reproducing unit 2 for recording and reproducing, and the operation unit for operating the recording / reproducing unit 2. 3, a display unit 5 for displaying the state of the recording / playback unit 2, a display brightness control and operation unit 3 for controlling the brightness of the display unit 5 within a preset specific time range, and a display for the recording / playback unit 2 By providing the control unit 4 that controls the unit 5, it is possible to perform display brightness control that controls the brightness of the display unit 5 within a preset specific time range, and it is possible to darken the display unit 5 during sleep or the like. The magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus can be realized.
