The present invention relates to a method of reserving and confirming a recording of a video cassette recorder, and more particularly, to a method of reserving recording of a video cassette recorder using a telephone and confirming and canceling a reserved content.

In general, with the diversification of television pros and the advent of cable TV, viewers have a wider choice of television programs, and the TV programs they want to watch have been recorded for later viewing. However, if you go out without making a reservation, you may miss the desired television program recording. In order to solve this problem, a technology for scheduling a TV recording in a video from the outside has been developed. With this technology, a desired program can be reserved and recorded using a telephone from the outside even when the user goes out without a recording reservation. .

1 is a circuit diagram of a reservation recording apparatus using a conventional telephone. The reservation recording is composed of a variable resistor VR1 and resistors R2 and R3, and includes a microphone 10 for receiving a telephone dial tone and the like, and the microphone 10. Amplifying circuit 11 for amplifying the output signal of the circuit, DC blocking capacitor C1, distribution resistors R4 and R5, amplifying transistor Q1, resonant coil L1, and capacitor C2. A resonance amplifier 12 for resonating and amplifying the output signal of the amplifying circuit 11 at the telephone tone frequency of the telephone, a DC blocking capacitor C3, a clamp diode D1, D2, and a distribution resistor ( And a clamping unit 13 for clamping the output signal of the resonance amplifier 12 to a negative voltage, and a smoothing capacitor C4 and a switching transistor Q2. Switching unit 14 for generating a pulse signal according to the output state of the clamping unit 13, M binary counter (CN1), ternary A data generator comprising a counter CN2 and a flip-flop FF1-FF3, which counts the pulse signal of the switching unit 14 and outputs it as a video power control signal and outputs specific channel selection data N. (15) and a microcomputer (16) for outputting the reserved recording start signal by the specific channel selection data (N) of the data generator (15), and for selecting a specific channel to perform the reserved recording function; And a controller 17 configured to include a resistor R1 and a transistor Q3 to stop the operation of the microphone 10 by the reserved recording start signal of the microcomputer 16, and the flip-flop FF1-FF3. ) Is a JK flip-flop.

FIG. 2 is a waveform diagram of each sub output of FIG. 1, (a) is a waveform diagram for a telephone dial tone, and (b) is an output waveform diagram of a switching unit. The X-axis represents time t, the Y-axis represents the magnitude of the waveform, the waveform of the telephone dial tone is a sine wave, and the output waveform of the switching unit 14 is a square wave.

Referring to the operation of the reservation recording apparatus according to the prior art configured as described above is as follows.

When the user makes a phone call to perform the scheduled recording function of the video while going out, a dial tone is generated in the telephone and is received by the microphone 10, so that a sine wave telephone dial tone signal is output to the output side of the microphone 10, The telephone dial tone signal is amplified by the amplifier circuit 11 and then applied to the base of the transistor Q1 through the DC blocking capacitor C1 of the resonance amplifier 12.

Accordingly, the telephone dial tone signal is amplified by the transistor Q1 while being resonated at the telephone dial tone frequency by the resonant coil L1 and the condenser C2.

At this time, only the telephone dial tone signal is amplified by the resonance amplifier 12 and output, and the output signal of the resonance amplifier 12 is a clamp diode (C3) through the DC blocking capacitor C3 of the clamping unit 13 ( It is applied to D1, D2 and clamped with negative voltage. Accordingly, a low potential signal is applied to the base of the transistor Q2 through the resistor R7 and the smoothing capacitor C4 so that the transistor Q2 is turned off, so that a high potential signal is generated at the collector of the transistor Q2. The output is applied to the M binary counter CN1 and the ternary counter CN2.

On the other hand, since the telephone dial tone signal is output at a predetermined interval, the diodes D1 and D2 of the clamping unit 13 do not clamp in a state where the telephone dial tone signal is not output. A power supply of (Vcc) is charged to the smoothing capacitor C4 through the resistors R6 and R7 to conduct the transistor Q2, so that the low potential signal of the square wave is output from the collector of the transistor Q2.

As a result, in a state where a telephone dial tone signal is output by making a call, the transistor Q2 of the switching unit 14 repeats the on / off operation, and a square wave signal of a predetermined period is output from the collector of the transistor Q2. The square wave signal is applied to the M binary counter CN1 and the ternary counter CN2.

At this time, the M-ary counter CN1 outputs a high-potential signal when the number of high-potential signals output from the switching unit 14 is completed by the number M of its set value, and the high-potential signal is a power control signal of the video. The video is then powered on by its power control signal.

In addition, the high potential signal output from the M binary counter N is applied as a drive control signal to the ternary counter CN2, and the ternary counter CN2 is a high potential signal output from the switching unit 14. Each time the count is counted three times, a high potential signal is output. Accordingly, the flip-flops FF1-FF3 are sequentially driven to output specific channel selection data (N = 1, N = 2, N = 3). .

As the specific channel selection data (N = 1, N = 2, N = 3) thus output is applied to the microcomputer 16, a channel determination signal is output from the microcomputer 16 to select a specific channel. The reservation recording start signal is output from the microcomputer 16 to start recording in the video.

That is, if the specific channel selection data (N) does not become N≥1, the reservation recording program is instructed to the other party to complete the reservation after completing the reservation.When the specific channel selection data (N) becomes N≥1, the specific channel selection data is completed. Determine the value of (N).

At this time, if the specific channel selection data (N) is 1 to select the corresponding channel A to perform the scheduled recording function, and if the specific channel selection data (N) is 2 to select the B channel corresponding to the scheduled recording function. If the specific channel selection data (N) is 3, the C channel corresponding to the specific channel selection data (N) is selected to perform the reserved recording function and then completed.

Accordingly, the user can recognize the specific channel selection data N generated by the data generator 15 as described above by counting the number of occurrences of the telephone ring with his or her ear after making a telephone call. After the call is made, the data generation unit 15 counts the number of occurrences of the telephone ring required for outputting the specific channel selection data N, and when the handset is put down, the specific channel is automatically selected so that the reserved recording function is performed. Is performed.

In addition, since the specific channel selection data N input to the microcomputer 16 is generated by a signal counting in the ternary counter CN2 after completion of counting in the M binary counter CN1, the M binary counter CN1 is generated. By setting M value of) large enough, it is possible to prevent the scheduled recording function when someone other than the user calls.

For example, if the M value of the M binary counter CN1 is set to 10 or more, it is determined that the user is absent before completing the counting at the M binary counter CN1 when someone other than the user makes a call. Because the phone hangs up, it is possible to prevent malfunctions caused by others.

However, in the conventional technology, in order to make a scheduled recording from the outside, the user must wait until the M-value set by the user is completed, and in order to perform the scheduled recording after the M-value is completed, it is inconvenient to count the ringtones individually. Even after recording, there was no way to check if the reservation was made as desired.

In addition, in recent years, a telephone with an answering machine has been widely used, and most answering machines operate after a set number of rings, so there is a problem that the answering machine cannot be used when scheduled recording is performed by ringing.

Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to reserve the recording of a video cassette recorder using a telephone which enables scheduled recording, confirmation and cancellation of a video while listening to the announcement of the reservation procedure instead of counting the ringing sound to make a scheduled recording of the video. And to provide a verification method.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a recording reservation and confirmation method of a video cassette recorder using a telephone that enables scheduled recording of a video while utilizing an automatic answering function of a telephone having an automatic answering function.

In order to achieve the above object, a recording reservation and confirmation method of a video cassette recorder using a telephone of the present invention is a method of reserving a recording of a video cassette recorder using a telephone, when a telephone ring is detected and a preset password is input. A first step of outputting the announcement to the telephone side for selecting recording reservation or reservation confirmation; A second step of, if the recording reservation selection number is input from the telephone after the first step, outputting an announcement broadcast for a recording reservation procedure to the telephone side and recording the recording reservation information input from the telephone to the video cassette recorder; A third step of confirming the recording reservation information recorded in the video cassette recorder and outputting a reservation confirmation announcement broadcast to the phone when the reservation confirmation selection number is input from the phone after the first step; A fourth step of outputting, to the telephone side, an announcement broadcast for selecting a reservation cancellation after the third step; And a fifth step of deleting the recording reservation information recorded in the video cassette recorder when the reservation cancellation selection number is input from the phone after the fourth step.

In addition, the present invention preferably further comprises a sixth step of broadcasting an error message to the telephone side if the number inputted from the telephone does not correspond to any of the recording reservation selection number, the reservation confirmation selection number, and the reservation cancellation selection number. Do.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a flowchart of a recording reservation and confirmation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The recording reservation and confirmation method includes steps S100 and S100 for outputting an announcement broadcast for selecting a recording reservation / reservation confirmation to the phone side. If a number is input from the telephone, a step S200 of determining whether the number is a reservation selection number; if the reservation selection number is determined as a result of step S200, step S300 of performing a recording reservation function; If it is not the number S400 step of determining whether the reservation confirmation or cancellation number, if the determination result of the step S400, if the reservation confirmation or cancellation number S500 step of performing the reservation confirmation and cancellation function, and as a result of the determination of step S400 confirm or cancel the reservation If it is not a number, step S600 is performed to broadcast an error message to the telephone side.

Each step will be described in more detail as follows.

First, when a user makes a call from outside, the phone rings and the answering machine starts to work. At this time, if the user wants to set a recording schedule for the video using the telephone, the user inputs a password set in advance for the video recording schedule by operating a button provided in the telephone.

If the user enters the password as above, the user judges whether the user inputs the password correctly. If the user enters the password correctly, the recording reservation is set to 1 and the recording is to be confirmed or canceled. The announcement broadcast for selection is output to the phone side (S100).

After the step S100, when the user listens to the announcement and inputs the desired number, it is determined whether the number is the recording reservation selection number (S200). If the recording reservation selection number is performed, the recording reservation function is performed (S300). Otherwise, it is determined whether the reservation is confirmed or canceled (S400).

As a result of the determination in step S400, if the reservation confirmation or cancellation selection number is performed, the reservation confirmation and cancellation function is performed (S500). Press again to broadcast the error message, such as please press the correct number so that the user can dial the correct number again (S600).

4 is a detailed flowchart of step S300 shown in FIG. 3, and in step S300, if a recording reservation selection number is determined as a result of step S200, input a broadcasting station channel. Please enter a start time. Please enter an end time. Or guide the user to the recording reservation procedure by outputting the announcement to the phone side, such as the television program code number, and when the user enters the number (S310), after confirming the input number and broadcast the contents to the phone side In addition, to make a reservation with the above contents, press 1, and to modify the above contents, press the same announcement (S320).

After the step S320, if a predetermined number is input from the user, it is determined whether the number is the reserved number (1). If the reserved number is recorded, the recording reservation information received in the step S310 is recorded in the VCR (S340). It is determined whether the number (number 2) (S350). If the result of the determination in step S350 is a modified number, the process branches to step S310 again to output a guide broadcast for the recording reservation procedure to the phone side and receive the number again from the user. However, if the result of the determination in step S350 is not the corrected number, the number is incorrect. Press again again to broadcast an error message such as the phone (S360) and then branches to step S310 again outputs the announcement for the recording reservation procedure to the phone side and receives a number from the user.

FIG. 5 is a detailed flowchart of step S500 shown in FIG. 3, and in step S500, when the determination result of step S400 is a reservation confirmation and cancellation selection number, the reservation information recorded in the VCR is checked (S510). On some days of the month, the channel broadcasts 00, the start time is 00, the end time is 00, or the reserved television program code number is 000. To hang up the handset, press 1 to cancel, etc., and the announcement for reservation confirmation and cancellation procedures such as the output to the phone side (S520) when the user checks the contents and puts down the handset, the reserved contents If the user inputs the number without placing the handset, it is determined whether the number is the cancel selection number (S530). The Undo function and (S540), or an unchecked number Number entered is incorrect. Press again again to broadcast the error message, such as to the phone so that the user can press the correct number again (S550).

FIG. 6 is a detailed flowchart of step S540 shown in FIG. 5. In step S540, when the determination result of step S530 is a cancellation selection number, the reservation information recorded in the VCR is deleted (S561). The start time is 00, the end time is 00, the program scheduled recording was canceled. Alternatively, the reserved TV program code number 000 is outputted to the phone to inform the user that the reservation has been canceled, and then press 1 to make a new reservation. It outputs and guides the user to the rescheduling procedure (S562).

After the step S562, if the number is input from the user, it is determined whether the number is the reservation selection number (1). If the reservation selection number, the operation branches to step S300 to perform the recording reservation function. I cut it. Press again to broadcast the error message, such as please press the correct number so that the user can dial the correct number again (S564).

As a result, when the user makes a call from outside and the answering machine is activated, the user can enter a password by operating a button provided on the telephone, and then use the telephone receiver to announce the procedure of recording reservation and checking and canceling the scheduled contents. You can easily schedule recordings, confirm reservations, and cancel reservations of specific broadcast programs while listening to confirmation announcements.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a user enters a preset password after a telephone ringing, the user can easily make a recording reservation, a reservation confirmation, and cancel a reservation of a specific broadcast program while listening to the announcement through a telephone. There is an effect that can provide the user's convenience, such as the user does not have to wait until the end of the sound.
