On the other hand, the electronic device 3 on the recording side (video tape recorder in the embodiment) is operated by the REC (recording / recording / recording) device in order to record the electronic device 3 on the recording side via the control command conversion section 9. A control command for recording is sent (ST1).

Next, the microcomputer 10 continues to read the data code from the reproducing-side electronic device 2 when the reproducing-side electronic device 2 is in a reproducing state and the recording-side electronic device 3 is in a recording state. , If it is confirmed that it is not an unrecorded portion, and a transition of the data code is detected, recording is performed for the time designated by the key block unit 6 (ST2, ST
3, ST4). That is, after performing the editing operation, "REC
A command code is sent so as to wait in the "PAUSE" state (ST5, ST6). Incidentally, the time designated by the key block unit 6 may be performed from the remote controller.

At this time, the electronic device 2 on the reproducing side continues the reproduction, and if a transition of the data code, that is, an arbitrary transition of the data code is found, "R" of the electronic device 3 on the recording side is detected.
Cancel the standby state in "ECPAUSE" and start recording,
"REC PAUSE" is recorded again after recording for a predetermined time.
Wait for the state.

In this way, if a series of operations is repeated and the editing work is stopped when the unrecorded portion is reached, the data code is changed, that is, the editing work is automatically performed for a predetermined time from one frame. It can be performed (ST7).

Further, it is not limited to the automatic termination upon detection of the unrecorded portion, but the termination from the remote control light-receiving section 5 which has received the termination signal from the remote controller or the termination key operation from the key block section 6 may be employed.

First, the electronic device 2 on the reproducing side reproduces the tape to be edited, and the time code (time information) at the transition of the data code and the time of one frame thereof are stored.

Next, it is reproduced again from the beginning, and when the stored time code comes, recording is started, and the recording start time of the frame is set at a certain fixed time, for example, 1 frame = 20 seconds, If it is a quarter, after recording for 5 seconds, the electronic device 3 on the recording side is put in a standby state of "REC PAUSE".

By repeating the above, the desired editing work can be automatically performed.

Next, a third embodiment of the electronic device automatic editing system 1 according to the present invention is to detect an arbitrary transition of a data code and perform editing between the detected transitions. .

For example, if a date code which constitutes a data code is designated in advance during editing, only the recorded information recorded / recorded with the corresponding date code can be automatically edited.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the electronic device automatic editing system 1 according to the present invention performs editing based on time information of a data code.

This embodiment has a configuration in which the third embodiment is also partially included, but in this embodiment, more detailed editing work instructions can be given.

That is, as described above, there are index information, time, day of the week, date, count, etc. as types of data codes, and of these, one or more of time, day of the week, and date, which are time information, are combined. Try to edit.

For example, if a search is performed by date and then a time is designated in the applicable date, it is possible to perform editing such as am and pm, among those recorded and recorded on the same day.

Further, it is possible to perform editing in combination with this time information. For example, if the time information and the count value are combined to specify the date, and the first half and the second half of the count are specified, the scene at the time of recording can be automatically edited as intended. .
