[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a program reservation device for dividing a long-time program into a plurality of recording / reproducing devices having a reservation recording function and making a reservation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a long-time program that exceeds the recording time of a magnetic recording tape used in a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus is set by a program reservation apparatus (for example, in a commercially available magnetic recording tape such as a satellite broadcast program). In the case of setting a reserved recording for a long-time program that exceeds the recording time), the conventional technique has the following methods. This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 shows a recording / reproducing apparatus which has an input / output circuit, a recording / reproducing circuit, and a program reservation circuit, and outputs a recording signal from the output circuit even when the end portion of the magnetic recording tape is reached within the reserved recording time. 1, a program reservation device 3 having a reserved recording data setting means and a means for transmitting data to the recording / reproducing device 1, and a recording / reproducing device 2 similar to the recording / reproducing device 1 (or within a reserved recording time from the recording / reproducing device 1). And a reserved recording data setting means and a means for transmitting the reserved recording data to the recording and reproducing device 2 even when the end portion of the magnetic recording tape is reached. In the cable 6 connecting the program reservation device 7, the output terminal 4 of the recording / reproducing device 1 and the input terminal 5 of the recording / reproducing device 2, the recording start time of the reserved recording data setting means of the program reservation device 3 As the end time, the reservation setting person sets the start time and the end time of the program to be recorded, transfers the reservation recording data including each data of the recording start time and the end time to the recording / reproducing apparatus 1, and the reservation recording of the program reservation apparatus 7 is performed. As the recording start time of the data setting means, the time when recording cannot be performed on the magnetic recording tape of the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 is predicted, and the time when recording cannot be performed is set as the recording start time of the recording / reproducing apparatus 2, and the reserved recording of the program reservation apparatus 7 is performed. The recording end time of the data setting means sets the end time of the program that the reservation setting person wants to record, and the recording channel of the reserved recording data setting means of the program reservation device 7 records the signal input from the input terminal 5 of the recording / reproducing device 2. Set the recording start time of the reserved recording data setting means,
Scheduled recording data including three data of recording end time and recording channel is transferred to the recording / reproducing apparatus 2.

When the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 finishes recording on the magnetic recording tape while the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 is executing the reserved recording, a signal sent from the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 by the connecting cable 6 is transmitted to the recording / reproducing apparatus. 2 starts reserved recording.

[0005]

In the prior art, the reservation recording data must be set in each of a plurality of program reservation devices, and the time setting for the other reservation recording is performed by the reservation setter in anticipation. There was the hassle of having to do it.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In a program reservation device,
A recording setting time data setting means of the recording medium in the reservation setting means, a judgment means for judging whether the entire reservation program can be recorded from the reservation recording data and the recordable data, and a means for dividing the reservation recording data into a plurality of reservation recording data. The above problem can be solved by providing means for allocating a predetermined different remote control code system to the divided data.

According to the present invention, the recording time for a plurality of recording / reproducing apparatuses and the operation of channel setting can be automated, which is superior to the conventional functions in the following points. That is, (1) it is not necessary to set the reserved recording data of the reserved recording setting means of the recording / reproducing device for each of the recording / reproducing devices for the plurality of recording / reproducing devices having the reserved recording function.

(2) In setting the reserved recording data of a plurality of recording / reproducing devices having the reserved recording function, the remaining time to be sent to the second recording / reproducing device having the reserved recording function is automatically set. There is no setting error.

In the program reservation apparatus 31, predetermined reservation recording data is input using the input means 32, and the reservation recording data and recording medium can be recorded by the arithmetic circuit 33. When it is determined from the time data that the entire reserved program cannot be recorded, the reserved recording data is divided into a plurality of reserved recording data at a predetermined continuous or overlapping time, and the encoder circuit 34 divides the plurality of reserved recording data into predetermined different remote controllers. It shows that the transmission circuit 35 provided with the oscillating element 36 is sequentially transmitted by dividing into a plurality of reserved recording data organized into a predetermined remote control code by dividing into a code system.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In the program reservation device 41, predetermined reservation recording data is input by using the input means 42, and the arithmetic recording circuit 43 can record the reservation recording data and the recording medium. When it is determined that the entire reserved program cannot be recorded from the time data, the reserved recording data is divided into a plurality of reserved recording data at a predetermined continuous or overlapping time, and the encoder circuit 44 divides the plurality of reserved recording data into predetermined different remote controllers. The transmission circuit 45, which is divided into code systems and provided with a plurality of oscillating elements 46, divides into a plurality of reserved recording data organized into a predetermined remote control code, and shows that the plurality of oscillating elements simultaneously transmit. .

FIG. 5 is a display example of the program reservation device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which each reserved recording data obtained by dividing predetermined reserved recording data into a plurality of reserved recording data at overlapping times is displayed on the display device. , One display state set by the program reservation device is shown on the same channel as the channel of the predetermined reserved recording data.

For one of the recording / reproducing devices having a plurality of program reservation functions, the channel of the program to be recorded,
