Description

Schedule recording method and apparatus suitable for it {Reversation recording method and apparatus therefor}

The present invention relates to a reservation recording method of a broadcast program and a device suitable therefor.

The Video Cassette Tape Recorder (VCR) has a scheduled recording function that reserves a program to be recorded in advance. When the user sets the channel number, start time, and end time of a program to be reserved for recording, the broadcast signal of the recorded program is recorded on the videotape for the set time. .

On the other hand, digital televisions with storage media have been released to record desired broadcast programs without a separate VCR. Reservation recording in digital television is distinguished from that in VCR in that program guide information is used.

However, the conventional reservation recording method in the analog VCR has a large number of key inputs, making reservation recording inconvenient. On the other hand, the reservation recording method using program guide information in a digital television is difficult for a user to arbitrarily set a reservation time. There is.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an improved reservation recording method which minimizes the number of key inputs in order to facilitate the reservation recording.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a reservation recording apparatus suitable for the above-described reservation recording method.

A first embodiment of the reservation recording method according to the present invention for achieving the above object is

(a) displaying a schedule board having a channel axis and a time axis on a screen when the reserved recording mode is entered;

(b) displaying a cursor for setting reserved recording information on the schedule board;

(c) displaying a channel and a time corresponding to the position of the cursor while moving the cursor according to the operation of the cursor movement key;

(d) inputting a channel and a time corresponding to the position of the cursor as a channel and a start time for the scheduled recording according to the input of the first selection key;

(e) moving the cursor according to the operation of the cursor movement key and inputting a time corresponding to the position of the cursor as the end time for the reserved recording according to the input of the second selection key; And

(f) storing the channel, the start time, and the end time in the memory as reserved recording information, and ending the reserved recording setting.

In order to achieve the above object another embodiment of the reservation recording method according to the present invention

In the scheduled recording method for selecting a program to be scheduled recording on the screen showing the program guide information,

(a) if the reserved recording mode is designated, displaying program guide information on a screen having a channel axis and a time axis;

(b) displaying a selection bar for selecting a program on a screen showing the program guide information and moving the selection bar in response to a cursor operation key;

(c) if a program is selected as the scheduled recording target, allowing to adjust the start time and end time of the scheduled recording;

(d) storing the channel of the program selected as the reserved recording target, the start time and the end time adjusted through the step (c) in the memory as reserved recording information, and ending the reserved recording setting. . Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional reservation recording apparatus, and shows an example applied to a VCR. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 sets the reserved recording mode by inputting the reserved recording key at the key input unit 102 and the key input unit 102 having the reserved recording key, channel selection key, numeric keys, and other function keys. Recognizes the reservation time by inputting the numeric key in the key input unit 102, and then compares the recognized reservation time with the time generated by the timer 104 to control the reservation recording, Micro computer 106 for controlling the operation of the message, the message generator 108 for generating a reserved recording message to the display device (not shown) under the control of the microcomputer 106, received through the antenna (ANT) And a tuner 110 for tuning the broadcast signal to be recorded, and a signal processor 112 for processing the broadcast signal tuned by the tuner 110 to be recorded on the tape loaded on the deck 114.

The reservation recording operation by the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is performed as follows. First, when the user presses the reserved recording key provided in the key input unit 102 to set the reserved recording, the microcomputer 106 recognizes this and switches to the reserved recording mode.

The message generator 108 generates a reserved recording message under the control of the microcomputer 106, that is, a message for guiding input of a channel, a start time, and an end time of a program to be reserved. The reserved recording message is superimposed on the video signal and displayed to the user through a display device such as a CRT.

Subsequently, the user inputs a channel, a start time, and an end time of a program to be reserved for recording while viewing a message displayed on the screen of the display device. The channel, the start time, and the end time of the program are input using the channel selection key and the numeric keys provided in the key input unit 102.

The microcomputer 106 controls the message generator 108 to display the input channel, start time, and end time on the screen.

After confirming the channel, start time and end time displayed on the screen, the user finishes the reservation mode setting. If the displayed contents are wrong, the reservation mode setting is completed after correcting the incorrect contents.

When the reservation mode setting is finished, the microcomputer 106 stores the input channel, the start time, and the end time in the memory 110.

The microcomputer 106 then compares the time information generated by the timer 104 with the start time stored in the memory 110 and if they match, i.e. the start time of the program, the tuner 110 is tuned to the specified channel. The program is controlled so that the program to be reserved by the signal processor 112 and the deck 114 is recorded on the tape.

In the device illustrated in FIG. 1, reservation recording information related to a program to be scheduled-recorded, for example, a channel selection key and a numeric key are used to input a channel, a start time, and an end time.

However, according to the conventional reservation recording method shown in FIG. 1, since a user must manually input a channel, a start time, an end time, etc., many key operations are required. For example, to set the start time and end time, you need to input hour, minute, am / pm, month, day, etc. in order to input the scheduled recording information. About 20 times of key operation (key operation for start time) 9 times, 9 times of key operation for setting the end time, 2 times of key operation for channel selection) are required.

2 is a flowchart showing a first embodiment of a reservation recording method according to the present invention.

The method shown in FIG. 2 is characterized by inputting reserved recording information using a cursor.

First, when the scheduled recording mode is entered, the schedule board is displayed on the screen (s202).

Here, the schedule board has a time axis and a channel axis. Program guide information may be displayed on the schedule board. In analog television broadcasting, program guide information is known by data packets transmitted in the vertical blanking section, and in digital television broadcasting, it is known by auxiliary data packets.

3 shows an example of a schedule board. Referring to FIG. 3, date information, channel information, time information, and program information are displayed in the date display area 302, the channel display area 304, the time display area 306, and the program display area 308, respectively.

The accessible channels are displayed on the channel axis of the schedule board, that is, the channel display area 304. Here, the accessible channels may be ones searched through the channel search function or ones known by the program guide information.

The time axis of the schedule board, that is, the time display area 306, is displayed in the time zone, and the program display area 308 is displayed in the channel and time zone-specific programs.

In the absence of program guide information, the schedule board has a simple form representing only time information and channel information.

A cursor for setting reserved recording information is displayed on the schedule board (s204). Referring to FIG. 3, a cursor 310 for setting reserved recording information is shown. The cursor 310 moves in response to the manipulation of the cursor movement key provided in the key input unit.

The channel and time corresponding to the position of the cursor are displayed while the cursor 310 is moved according to the operation of the cursor moving key. (S206) The channel and time corresponding to the position of the cursor 310 are combined with a separate message window or the cursor. It can be displayed through a moving tag.

According to the schedule board shown in FIG. 3, since the position of the cursor on the time axis corresponds to the actual time, corresponding time information can be calculated by identifying the position of the cursor on the time axis.

4A and 4B illustrate a case in which channel and time information according to the location of the cursor 310 is displayed through a moving tag together with a separate message window and the cursor.

If the start time control button 402 is selected in the reserved recording message window shown in FIG. 4A, a time corresponding to the cursor position is displayed in the start time display area 404 as the cursor moves. On the other hand, if the end time adjustment button 406 is selected, the time corresponding to the cursor position is displayed in the end time display area 408 as the cursor moves.

In FIG. 4B, the time corresponding to the cursor position is displayed on the moving tag 412 along with the movement of the cursor 310. As indicated by hatching in FIG. 4B, a color bar having a color different from the background color is calibrated between the start time and the end time to visually display the reservation recording setting period.

The channel and time corresponding to the position of the cursor 310 are input as the channel and start time information for the reserved recording information (s208).

Completion of setting of the start time information is recognized by the selection key. That is, when the selection key is input, the channel and time corresponding to the position of the cursor 310 are input as the channel and start time information for the reserved recording.

In the same way, the end time is set (s210). At this time, the movement of the cursor is preferably limited to moving only on the same channel. When the select key is input once again, the time corresponding to the position of the cursor is input as the end time information for the reserved recording.

The reserved recording setting is terminated. (S214) The input reserved recording information is displayed through a message window, and the user finishes the reservation mode setting after checking the channel, start time, and end time displayed on the screen. If the displayed content is wrong, the reservation mode setting is finished after correcting the incorrect content (S212).

It is possible to use a calendar to simplify the designation of the month and day. That is, if the month and day when the program to be scheduled recording is broadcasted are selected on the calendar, the schedule board of the corresponding date is displayed, and the start time and end time are set on the schedule board.

According to the method illustrated in FIG. 2, the reservation recording information can be intuitively designated while referring to the schedule board, and the channel and time can be designated with the cursor instead of manually inputting numeric keys to designate the channel and time.

5 is a block diagram showing another example of a conventional reservation recording apparatus, and shows an example applied to a digital broadcast revision. The apparatus shown in FIG. 5 performs a QPSK demodulation on a tuner 502 for tuning a digital broadcast signal received through an antenna ANT, and a signal output from the tuner 502, and then digitally converts the transport stream. QPSK decoder 504 to output, demultiplexer 506 to demultiplex video elements, audio elements, and auxiliary data from transport streams output from QPSK decoder 504, video elements and audio elements provided by demultiplexer 506 EPG decoder 512 and EPG decoder which extract program guide information (Electric Program Guide) from auxiliary data provided from video decoder 508 and audio decoder 510 and demultiplexer 506, respectively, which demodulate video and audio from EPG memory 514 for storing program guide information provided from 512, cursor movement keys, and program guides. A microcomputer 518 and a microcomputer 518 which control the EPG display and the scheduled recording according to the control of the key input unit 516 including the information display key, the selection key, the reserved recording setting key, and the like. And a graphic generator 520 for generating a program guide screen or the like and providing the program guide screen to the video decoder 508.

The reservation recording operation by the apparatus shown in FIG. 5 is performed as follows. Program guide information is transmitted through a digital broadcast signal. The EPG decoder 512 extracts program guide information from the auxiliary data and stores the program guide information in the EPG memory 514.

The user may request the output of a program guide screen when he / she wants to know which program is to be broadcast on which channel. When the user inputs the program guide information display key included in the key input unit 516, the microcomputer 518 recognizes the program guide information and reads the program guide information from the EPG memory 514, and based on this, the graphic generator 520. Generate program guide guide screen by controlling it. The EPG guide screen is superimposed on the video signal output from the video decoder 508 and is displayed to the user through a display device such as a CRT (not shown).

6 shows an example of a program guide screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the program guide screen displays program information, that is, a program name, a program start time, and a program end time. 6 shows a selection bar 602 for selecting a program. The selection bar 602 moves in response to an operation of a cursor movement key provided in the key input unit 516 or a remote controller (not shown). In order to indicate that the selected program is selected, the color of the selection bar 602 is used in contrast to the background color of the program guide screen. In addition, the selection bar 602 changes its length in accordance with the program length (broadcast time).

The user places the selection bar 602 on the program to be recorded using the cursor movement key of the key input unit 516 and selects whether or not to reserve the recording.

When the reservation mode setting is finished, the microcomputer 518 refers to the program guide information to obtain a channel, a start time, and an end time of a program for which reserved recording is set, and store them in the memory 522 as these reserved recording information.

The microcomputer 518 then compares the time information generated by the timer 524 with the start time stored in the memory 522, and if they match, that is, the tuner 502 is designated when the scheduled recording is the start time of the program set. It controls to tune to a channel, and controls so that a program can be recorded on a tape through a recording processing unit (not shown).

The recording processor records a digital signal (video element and audio element) or an analog signal of a program to be recorded on a hard disk or a tape or the like.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 5, reservation recording information related to a program to be scheduled-recorded is obtained from program guide information. For example, when a user selects a program to be scheduled-recorded on the program guide screen, the channel, start time, and end time of the corresponding program are obtained with reference to the program guide information.

However, according to the reservation recording method in the apparatus shown in Fig. 5, the user cannot arbitrarily manipulate the start time and the end time. Such inoperability causes problems such as making it impossible to avoid recording an advertisement or making a reservation recording without program guide information.

Most broadcast programs include advertisements at the beginning and end. Most users do not want the advertisement to be recorded. Since the apparatus shown in Fig. 5 reflects the start time and end time of the program known by the program guide information as they are in the reservation recording, there is no room for the user to manipulate the start and end time to exclude the time that the advertisement is broadcast. There is no.

On the other hand, the conventional reservation recording apparatus shown in Fig. 5 is completely useless when there is no program guide information because it is entirely dependent on the program guide information. It can be seen that the program guide of the PBS channel is not displayed in FIG. 6. This is because the apparatus of FIG. 6 does not have the program guide information of the PBS channel. In this case, the program guide information is not transmitted from the PBS station, or perhaps the user is not acquiring the program guide information because the user has not watched the PBS channel for a long time. Occurs when it is not possible.

The program guide information is transmitted to each broadcasting station, and in most cases, the program guide information is interpreted and collected by the EPG decoder 512 only while watching the broadcasting.

Therefore, in case of a station that does not transmit program guide information or a station that the user has not watched at all for a long time, there is no program guide information of the corresponding channel, and thus the program guide information cannot be displayed on the program guide screen. By the conventional reserved recording method described with reference to, the reserved recording setting becomes impossible.

7 is a flowchart showing a second embodiment of the reservation recording method according to the present invention.

If the reserved recording mode is specified, a screen (shown in FIG. 6) showing program guide information is displayed (s702).

The program guide screen has a time axis and a channel axis. The channel axis shows the accessible channels. Here, the accessible channels may be those found through the automatic channel search function or those known by the program guide information.

In the case of a channel having no program guide information, it is a simple form representing only time information and channel information. (See PBS Channel in FIG. 6)

A selection bar 602 for selecting a program is also displayed on the program guide screen. The selection bar 602 moves in response to the operation of the cursor movement key provided in the key input unit or the remote controller.

A program to be reserved is selected (s704). There are two methods for setting a program indicated by the selection bar 602 as a reserved recording target, using a reserved recording key and a selection key. The method of using the reserved recording key is a commonly used method of setting a reserved recording by means of a separate reserved recording setting key.

In contrast, a method of using a selection key is a method of using a conventional selection key instead of a separate reservation recording key, and determines whether a selected program is a currently broadcast program or a program to be broadcasted. It is recognized as a program.

If a program is selected as a scheduled recording target, it is determined whether to reset the scheduled time (s706). If the scheduled time is not reset, the scheduled recording is performed by referring to the program guide information as in the conventional scheduled recording method described with reference to FIG. Set the information (s708).

If you want to reset the scheduled time, adjust the start time and end time of the scheduled recording (S710).

The start time and end time of a program to be scheduled-recorded are known by the program guide information and can also be checked on the program guide screen. In the present invention, the user can adjust the start time and end time of the program known by the program guide information without making the start time and end time of the reservation recording as it is.

In addition, the length of the selection bar 602 can be adjusted so that the user can visually check the adjusted time information.

The length of the selection bar 602 may be increased or decreased by using a cursor movement key, for example, a left and right movement key.

Setting the start time and end time may be a menu type or a selection key type.

8 is a diagram schematically illustrating a time setting method using a menu method. When the start time adjustment button 802 is selected in the reserved recording menu window shown in FIG. 8, the left end of the selection bar 602 is moved left and right by an operation key for moving the cursor left and right. On the other hand, if the end time adjustment button 804 is selected in the reserved recording menu window, the right end of the selection bar 602 is moved left and right by an operation key for moving the cursor left and right.

If the start time control button 802 is selected in the reservation recording message window shown in FIG. 8, the corresponding time is displayed in the start time display area 804 as the left end of the selection bar 602 is moved. do. On the other hand, if the end time adjustment button 806 is selected, the corresponding time is displayed on the start time display area 808 as the right end of the selection bar 602 is moved.

Here, moving the left and right ends of the selection bar 602 to indicate the adjusted state is to correspond to the time axis set on the time schedule board as the horizontal axis. If the time axis is set to the vertical axis in the time schedule board details, the upper and lower ends of the selection bar 602 will be designed to move.

On the other hand, the method using the selection key is a method of recognizing the start time setting, the end time setting, the end of the reserved recording setting according to the number of times the selection key is pressed. That is, when the selection key is pressed once, the start time setting mode is set, and the left end of the selection bar 602 is adjusted in response to an operation key for moving the cursor left and right. When the selection key is pressed once more, the end time setting mode is set, and the right end of the selection bar 602 is adjusted in response to an operation key for moving the cursor left and right. When the select key is pressed again, it is set to the start time setting mode. The operation keys for moving the cursor upward correspond to the cancellation of the setting, and the operation keys for moving the cursor downward are set corresponding to the end of the reservation recording setting.

The length of the selection bar 602 is adjusted and the adjusted time information is displayed. The adjusted time may be displayed through a separate message window or a tag around the selection bar 602.

Referring to FIG. 6, since the length of the schedule board on the time axis corresponds to the actual time, corresponding time information may be calculated by identifying the position of the selection bar 602 on the time axis.

9 illustrates a case where the adjusted time information is displayed through a tag.

In FIG. 9, the time corresponding to the cursor position is displayed on the moving tag 912 along with the movement of the selection bar 602. In Fig. 8, a color bar having a color different from the background color is calibrated between the start time and the end time to visually display the reservation recording setting period.

The reserved recording setting is terminated (s712). The input reserved recording information is displayed through a message window, and the user finishes the reservation mode setting after checking the channel, start time, and end time displayed on the screen. If the displayed contents are wrong, the reservation mode setting is completed after correcting the incorrect contents.

Since the configuration of the apparatus for implementing the reservation recording method according to the present invention is similar to that shown in FIG. 5, the operation of the apparatus for implementing the reservation recording method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

Program guide information is transmitted through a digital broadcast signal. The EPG decoder 512 extracts program guide information from the auxiliary data and stores the program guide information in the EPG memory 514.

First, the operation according to the first embodiment will be described.

When the user inputs the reserved recording key provided in the key input unit 516, the microcomputer 518 recognizes this, reads program guide information from the EPG memory 514, and controls the graphic generator 520 based on this. To generate the program guide screen. This program guide screen is superimposed on the video signal output from the video decoder 508 and is displayed to the user through a display device such as a CRT (not shown).

The microcomputer 518 controls the graphics generator 520 to display a cursor for setting reserved recording information on the schedule board.

The microcomputer 518 calculates the channel and time corresponding to the position of the cursor while moving the cursor 310 according to the operation of the cursor movement key, and controls the graphic generator 520 to display the calculated channel and time. The channel and time corresponding to the location of the cursor 310 may be displayed through a separate message window or a tag moving along with the cursor.

When the selection key is input, the microcomputer 518 inputs a channel and a time corresponding to the position of the cursor 310 as channel and start time information for reserved recording.

In the same way the end time is set. In setting the end time, the microcomputer 518 preferably limits the movement of the cursor only on the same channel. Once the selection key is input, the microcomputer 518 inputs the corresponding time of the cursor as end time information for the reserved recording.

When the reserved recording setting is finished, the microcomputer 518 stores the set reserved recording information, that is, the channel, the start time, and the end time, in the memory 522.

The microcomputer 3 then compares the time information generated by the timer 522 with the start time stored in the memory 522 and if they match, i.e. the start time of the program, the tuner 502 is tuned to the stored channel. The program is controlled so that the program is recorded on the tape through the recording processing unit 522.

Next, the operation according to the second embodiment will be described.

When the user inputs the reserved recording key provided in the key input unit 516, the microcomputer 518 recognizes this, reads program guide information from the EPG memory 514, and controls the graphic generator 520 based on this. To generate the program guide screen. This program guide screen is superimposed on the video signal output from the video decoder 508 and is displayed to the user through a display device such as a CRT (not shown).

The microcomputer 518 controls the graphics generator 520 to display a selection bar 602 for setting reserved recording information on the schedule board.

The microcomputer 518 moves the selection bar 602 according to the operation of the cursor shift key. When a program for scheduled recording is selected, the microcomputer 518 switches the length of the selection bar 602 to an adjustable state. The length of the selection bar 802 may be increased or decreased by using a cursor movement key, for example, a left and right movement key.

If the start time adjustment button 902 is selected in the reserved recording menu window, the microcomputer 518 moves the left end of the selection bar 602 to the left or right by using an operation key for moving the cursor left and right. If the end time adjustment button 904 is selected in the reserved recording menu window, the right end of the selection bar 602 is moved left and right by an operation key for moving the cursor left and right.

When the reserved recording setting is finished, the microcomputer 518 stores the set reserved recording information, that is, the channel, the start time, and the end time, in the memory 522.
