Abstract

PURPOSE:To record a sound, a picture or the like before the operation of a recorder by providing a temporary recording delay output device for continuously outputting an inputted signal after a required time elapses. CONSTITUTION:When an owner listens to the broadcasting of a desired music or the like, for instance, and tries to record it, change over switches SW1 and SW2 are respectively connected to a contact B side and a D side and a cassette tape recorder 5 is driven. Then, the contents of the broadcasting before a recording operation recorded and stored in an endless tape recorder 6 and the contents of the broadcasting thereafter are sequentially shifted to the cassette tape of the cassette tape recorder 5 through the endless tape recorder 6. Then, the contents can be monitored to a speaker 4 and the contents before the recording operation are not removed from the recording.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a recording device, and particularly to a recording device that can also record sounds, images, etc. generated before the recording device is operated.

[Prior art]

In all conventional recording devices such as radio, television, etc., recording devices, data recorders, etc., only the signal data after the operator intends to leave a record on the recording medium and operates the recording device accordingly is recorded on the recording medium. It was recorded in

For example, for ease of explanation, the configuration of a so-called "radio-cassette player" that integrates a radio receiver and a cassette tape recorder is shown in FIG. is amplified by the amplifier 3 via the changeover switch SWI and listened to by the speaker 4, but the owner of this radio cassette player listening to this can record the content of the broadcast only after the tape recorder section is activated. Since it was not possible to record only the content and the previous part, there was a flaw in that it was not possible to completely record the music of your choice, leaving you dissatisfied.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made in order to eliminate the defect of conventional recording devices, etc., in which recording cannot be performed before the recording device is operated. The purpose is to provide a recording device that can.

[Summary of the invention]

For the above purpose, the present invention provides a recording device for recording, recording, etc., with a temporary recording delay output device that continuously outputs an input signal after a certain period of time has elapsed.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a radio cassette tape recorder according to the present invention, in which a signal received by a radio receiving unit 2 via an antenna 1 is sent out as audio via an amplifier 3. In a general "radio cassette player" in which a cassette tape recorder 5 is arranged in front of the amplifier 3 of a radio having a speaker 4, another tape recorder 6 and A changeover switch SW2 is provided.

Then, the other tape recorder 6 is operated for a certain period of time, for example, 3
Any device may be used as long as it has a built-in tape having a recording time of about 0 seconds, constantly records radio reception signals, and after 30 seconds, sequentially reproduces, erases, and records new reception signals.

Such endless tapes are commercially available, and there are also tape recorders that use them, so a detailed explanation will be omitted, but a miniaturized version of this tape can be built into a radio-cassette player.

The thus configured "radio cassette player" according to the present invention operates as follows.

Now, if the owner of this "radio cassette player" is listening only to radio broadcasts, the changeover switches SWI and SW2 are connected to contacts A and C, respectively, and the signal of this broadcast is sent to the endless tape recorder 6. The signals were also recorded and held for 30 seconds, then erased sequentially.

For example, if the owner hears that his/her favorite music is being broadcast and wishes to record it, he/she connects the changeover switches SWI and SW2 to contacts B and D, respectively, and connects the cassette (not shown) to the contacts B and D, respectively. tape recorder 5
When driven, the broadcast content recorded and held in the endless tape recorder 6 before the recording operation and the broadcast content after the recording operation are sequentially transferred to the cassette tape of the cassette tape recorder 5 via the endless tape recorder 6. At the same time, the contents can also be monitored by the speaker 4, so that the contents before the recording operation will not be omitted from the recording.

In the above, only the case where an endless tape is attached to a so-called "radio cassette player" for a pre-configured vehicle has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this only, and the device for temporarily holding information before recording operation can be used other than the endless tape. A suitable delay element, e.g. BBD (packet pre-gate device)
It is clear that a disc or a memory for recording digital information may be used instead.

Furthermore, it does not require any special explanation that the present invention is equally applicable to VTRs, data recorders, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when recording information that flows in chronological order, it is possible to record information before the intended point of recording without missing it, so it is possible to record it on a radio cassette tape. This has a significant effect on improving the satisfaction level of owners of recorders, VTRs, etc.
