JPH08263921A - Method for displaying fast forwarding amount/rewinding amount on video signal reproducing device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To dispense with a changeover operation and to simplify the operation by displaying a counter value on a display of a time display part when fast forwarding or rewinding is performed and returning to the time display when the fast forwarding or rewinding is finished. CONSTITUTION: When an operating button of an operating part 5 is operated, and if the time display is performed by a display means 8, the display is changed over to display data of the counter value in response to a rewinding amt. or a fast forward amt. by a changeover means 7. Then, upon completion of the fast forward or rewinding operation, the changeover is made again by the changeover means 7 to the side of display data changed by a time data processing means 4 to return to the time display.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fast-forwarding amount of a video signal reproducing device or a video signal recording / reproducing device represented by, for example, a video tape recorder or an optical disk player.
The present invention relates to a rewind amount display method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional method of displaying the fast-forwarding / rewinding amount of a video signal reproducing apparatus, the current time information is obtained from an internal calendar timer and displayed on the timetable time part, while the fast-forwarding or rewinding of the video being reproduced The counter display indicating the fast-forwarding amount and the rewinding amount at the time of rewinding is switched from the time display to the counter display when the user performs a switching operation of the display of the timetable time section.

[0003]

Since the conventional method of displaying the fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount of the video signal reproducing device is configured as described above, the user of the video signal reproducing device needs to perform a switching operation, and the operation is complicated. There was a problem that became.

Further, since the counter display showing the amount of fast-forward and the amount of rewind at the time of fast-forwarding and rewinding the image being reproduced is displayed on the time display section, the size of the displayed characters is limited. However, there was a problem that it was not easy to distinguish from a distance.

The first invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is possible to simplify the operation required for displaying the fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount in the video signal reproducing device. / An object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying a rewind amount.

A second object of the present invention is to simplify the operation required for displaying the fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount, and to fast-forward the video signal reproducing device capable of easily discriminating the display of the fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount from a long distance. An object of the present invention is to provide an amount / rewinding amount display method.

[0007]

A fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount displaying method of a video signal reproducing device according to a first aspect of the present invention is a fast-forwarding or rewinding method when a time is displayed on a time display portion of the video signal reproducing device. When rewinding is performed, the time display unit performs counter display by the fast forward or rewind instead of the time display, and when the fast forward or rewind is completed, the time display unit displays the fast forward or rewind counter. Instead of the display, the time display is restored.

In the fast-forwarding / rewinding amount display method of the video signal reproducing device according to the second invention, when the fast-forwarding or rewinding of the video signal reproducing device is performed, the counter display by the fast-forwarding or rewinding is displayed on the video monitor. When the fast forward or rewind is completed, the counter display by the fast forward or rewind displayed on the video monitor is stopped.

[0009]

In the method of displaying the fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount of the video signal reproducing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the fast-forwarding or rewinding is performed, the time display unit, which has been performing timetable until then, is replaced with the time display. When the fast forward or rewind is completed, the time display unit stops the fast forward or rewind counter display and automatically returns to the time display. Alternatively, the switching operation for displaying the counter by rewinding is not necessary, and the operation required for displaying the fast-forwarding amount / rewinding amount can be simplified.

In the fast-forwarding / rewinding amount display method of the video signal reproducing apparatus according to the second aspect of the invention, when fast-forwarding or rewinding is performed, the counter display by the fast-forwarding or rewinding is automatically displayed on the video monitor. When the fast-forwarding or rewinding is completed, the counter display by the fast-forwarding or rewinding displayed on the monitor is stopped. Therefore, the switching operation for performing the counter display by the fast-forwarding or rewinding is unnecessary, and the fast-forwarding is performed. Alternatively, the counter display by rewinding is displayed on the monitor, and since the size of the displayed characters at this time can be within the monitor screen, it can be easily recognized from a distance, and fast-forwarding is possible. The determination of the counter display of the amount / rewinding amount becomes easy even from a distance.

In step 3, the display of the counter value output to the CRT monitor device is stopped (step S15).

[0016]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the display of the time display unit, which has been performing the timetable until then, is changed to the fast-forwarding amount or the rewinding amount by performing the fast-forwarding or the rewinding. When the fast forward or rewind is completed, the time display section automatically stops the counter display by the fast forward or rewind, and automatically returns to the time display. There is no need to switch the counter display according to the fast-forwarding amount or the rewinding amount when the fast-forwarding or the rewinding is performed, and the conventional switching operation is not required, so that the operation can be simplified.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when fast forward or rewind is performed, a counter display corresponding to the fast forward amount or the rewind amount by the fast forward or rewind is automatically displayed on the video monitor. Alternatively, the operation of switching the counter display according to the fast-forwarding amount or the rewinding amount when rewinding is performed is unnecessary, and the conventional switching operation is not required, which simplifies the operation and the size of the counter display is monitored. Since the size can be set to fit on the screen, the counter display can be easily recognized from a distance.
