The present invention relates to a method for recording a broadcast program, and more particularly, to a broadcast program recording method of a combo system suitable for recording a broadcast program using a specific chapter signal during broadcast recording of the combo system.

As is well known, a combination system in which a plurality of devices performing independent functions are combined into one system is referred to simply as a combo system or a combo. An example of such a combo system is a DVD / VCR combo system in which a DVD and a VCR are combined.

The DVD / VCR combo system has a VCR which performs a function of a general VCR, and a DVD which performs a function of a general DVD such as a function of reproducing video and sound recorded on a DVD. In addition to independent functions, VCRs and DVDs have the function of mutually recording the image data and the audio data reproduced in each.

In addition, a DVD / VCR combo system is connected to a TV as a peripheral device for outputting video and sound played on VCRs and DVDs, an audio amplifier is connected as a peripheral device for outputting sound from DVDs, or a camcorder or the like. The same external device can be connected. The DVD / VCR combo system can record video and sound input from such an external device on a magnetic tape or an optical disc through a VCR or a DVD.

Meanwhile, the DVD / VCR combo system is equipped with a broadcast receiving device such as a tuner capable of receiving broadcast signals as well as a function of playing video and audio data recorded on optical discs and magnetic tapes. You can output to the device. Accordingly, the user can watch the broadcast signal through the peripheral device.

However, in the related art, when a signal-free section for distinguishing a broadcast is inserted and transmitted between a program broadcast and an advertisement broadcast, when the broadcast signal is received and recorded, the combo system records the program broadcast, the no signal section, and the advertisement broadcast together. It was inconvenient when playing or editing a broadcast recorded in a combo system.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the broadcast program recording method of the combo system that can skip the commercial in the reproduction broadcast using the chapter signal for the classification of the broadcast when recording the broadcast program of the combo system The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a broadcast program recording method of a combo system for recording a program without receiving a signal between the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast, when the recording of the received broadcast, detecting the signal-free section Determining a broadcast type, recording and recording a specific chapter signal corresponding to the broadcast type, and reproducing the program broadcast and advertisement when playing the recorded broadcast. Detecting a specific chapter signal for distinguishing a broadcast; skipping to a next chapter signal section if the detected specific chapter signal is a signal according to an advertisement; and if the detected specific chapter signal is a signal according to a program broadcast, It provides a recording method of the combo system comprising the step of maintaining the playback mode.

The above and other objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the present invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention is different from the conventional method in which no signal is inserted and recorded between the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast. When the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast are recorded together in the combo system, the signal-free section is detected and the signal-free section is detected. After recording a specific chapter signal for distinguishing a program broadcast from a commercial in response to the non-signal period, the recording function is performed, and the reception check of the no signal and the recording and recording function of the chapter signal are repeated accordingly. Through these technical means it is possible to easily achieve the object of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a combo system suitable for recording and recording a specific chapter signal when a signal-free section is detected while recording a broadcast program, according to the present invention. Means 106, DVD section 108, output means 110 and external input means 112.

Referring to FIG. 1, the VCR unit 102 performs a general VCR function of reproducing image and sound data recorded on a magnetic tape such as a video tape or recording image and sound data input from an external device onto a magnetic tape. It controls the power supply of the DVD unit 108, and controls the overall operation of the DVD / VCR combo system.

When the VCR unit 102 receives and records a broadcast signal, the VCR unit 102 detects a no-signal section for classification of a broadcast inserted between a program broadcast and an advertisement broadcast, and records a specific chapter corresponding to the no-signal section. After recording the signal, a recording function is performed. In response to the reception of each signal, recording of the corresponding chapter signal is repeated.

In addition, the VCR unit 102 searches for a program broadcast according to a chapter signal recorded by a user using an input unit (not shown), for example, a remote controller or the like, when the recorded broadcast is reproduced according to the present invention. It can be easily performed, and when editing a recorded broadcast, only the commercial can be deleted according to the recorded chapter signal.

Next, the tuning means 104 receives the broadcast signal received via the antenna or the broadcast signal transmitted by wire, and tunes the corresponding channel from the received broadcast signal according to the tuning command input from the VCR unit 102. The broadcast signal of the tuned channel is transmitted to the selection means 106 to perform a recording function through the VCR unit 102 or the DVD unit 108 or to the output unit 110 for reproduction of the broadcast signal.

Further, the selection means 106 is input from the VCR unit 102 to the signal output from the VCR unit 102, the DVD unit 108 and the tuning unit 104 and the signal introduced through the external input unit 112. The signal is selected and transmitted according to the selection command. The VCR unit 102 or the DVD unit 108 transmits the signal to the output unit 110 to perform a recording function or to reproduce the received broadcast signal. Here, the output means 110 outputs the signals provided from the VCR section 102, the DVD section 108, and the selection means 106 to peripheral devices such as a TV or audio amplifier, not shown.

Meanwhile, the DVD unit 108 performs a function of a general DVD for reproducing data recorded on an optical recording medium such as a DVD and a CD, and has a function of recording data input from the outside into the optical recording medium according to a system. Include.

In addition, the external input means 112 is connected to an external device such as a camcorder, for example, and receives sound and image data from the external device to provide the selection means 106.

Next, a process of recording a specific chapter signal corresponding to each no-signal section for classification of a broadcast while recording a broadcast program in the combo system having the above-described configuration, and performing a recording function will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of recording and recording a specific chapter signal when a signalless section is detected while recording a broadcast program in a combo system according to the present invention.

2, when recording a broadcast signal received in the combo system (step 202), the VCR unit 102 checks the received broadcast signal (e.g., program broadcast signal, commercial broadcast signal, etc.) ( Step 204).

Then, the VCR unit 102 checks whether no signal section is detected while checking the received broadcast signal (step 206). Here, the no-signal interval is inserted and transmitted between the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast to distinguish the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast. As an example, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, a signalless section of 3.5 frames is inserted and transmitted between a program broadcast and an advertisement.

As a result of the check in the step 206, if no signal section is detected, the combo system performs broadcast recording using the VCR unit 102 or the DVD unit 108 (step 212), and the no signal section is detected. If so, the VCR unit 102 determines whether the received broadcast signal corresponding to the no signal section is a program broadcast or an advertisement broadcast (step 208). Here, in the method of determining the broadcast type, as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B, the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast are determined by detecting the synchronization signals having different logic levels according to the broadcast types transmitted.

Then, after recording a specific chapter signal corresponding to the detected synchronization signal according to the broadcast type, recording of program broadcasting or commercial broadcasting is continued (steps 210 and 212). Here, during the broadcast recording, the VCR unit 102 continuously checks whether the recording is to be terminated (step 214).

As a result of the check in step 214, the broadcast signal to be received is checked when the combo system is not at the end of recording, and when a no signal section is detected, a specific chapter signal (i.e., the next chapter signal of the specific chapter signal described above) is detected. Repeat the process of recording and broadcast recording, and if the recording end point of the combo system, the recording is terminated and switch to the standby mode of the combo system (step 216).

Therefore, when recording a broadcast signal received by the combo system, it is possible to check the detection synchronization signal according to the broadcast type, and record the broadcast signal by recording a specific chapter signal corresponding thereto.

Next, as described above, a process of skipping and playing an advertisement section according to a specific chapter signal when playing a recorded recording by recording a specific chapter signal corresponding to the broadcast type in the combo system will be described.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of skipping and playing an advertisement section when playing a recorded broadcast including a specific chapter signal corresponding to the broadcast type according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the combo system plays back a broadcast signal recorded by inserting a specific chapter signal corresponding to a detection synchronization signal between the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast (step 302), the VCR unit 102 displays the program broadcast and the advertisement. The chapter signal inserted and recorded between broadcasts is detected (step 304).

In addition, the VCR unit 102 checks whether the detected chapter signal is a chapter signal corresponding to the commercial broadcast (step 306). If the result of the check is not a chapter signal corresponding to the commercial broadcast (ie, corresponding to the program broadcast) If the chapter signal is performed, playback of the broadcast program is continued (step 310), and if the chapter signal corresponding to the commercial broadcast, the VCR unit 102 skips to the next chapter signal section (step 308), and then the playback of the broadcast program is performed. Perform (step 310).

Meanwhile, the embodiment has described a process of recording a broadcast program and a process of playing the broadcast program. However, when a recorded broadcast is edited, a part corresponding to an advertisement broadcast in the displayed thumbnail may be deleted using a chapter signal. Of course.

Therefore, when the chapter signal corresponding to the broadcast type is reproduced when the chapter signal corresponding to the broadcast type is detected in the combo system, only the program broadcast can be played by skipping to the next chapter signal section and editing the recorded broadcast. You can delete and edit the part you want.

As described above, the present invention is different from the conventional method in which no signal is inserted and recorded between the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast, when the broadcast signal in which no signal section is inserted between the program broadcast and the commercial broadcast is recorded in the combo system. When a signal section is detected, a specific chapter signal that distinguishes a program broadcast and a commercial broadcast is recorded to record a broadcast signal, and when the recorded broadcast is played, a chapter signal corresponding to the broadcast type is detected to detect a chapter signal according to the commercial broadcast. By skipping and playing the commercial section, it is possible to enhance the user's convenience in playing and editing the broadcast program of the combo system.
