It relates to a display method.

In general, when a user wants to record a broadcast program displayed on TV, the user can turn on the VRC connected to the TV and start the desired broadcast program. You can record the program by entering (Record Button).

Recently, a method for easily scheduling a desired broadcast program for the user's convenience has been studied in everybody related to this technology. Such a simple reservation method is similar to the G code method used in Korea, Japan and the Americas. , Showview method and Video Plus method used in Europe, and the like.

In each of the above simple reservation methods, when a user reserves a desired broadcast program, information about the reserved broadcast program (for example, a broadcast channel for the broadcast program, a broadcast week, a broadcast start time, a broadcast end time, etc.) is stored in memory. The reservation is stored in the user, and the user may additionally set another broadcast program by repeating the reservation setting.

In the case of setting the broadcast program, a broadcast program that is regularly broadcasted on a daily, weekly or monthly basis may be reserved by the user's selection.

On the other hand, when a desired broadcast program desired by the user is reserved and recorded by the user, in the event of an error (for example, a power failure, a deck error such as a reel or a drum, a recording prevention tab, etc.), the scheduled recording is performed. It is often the case that the user misjudges the failure of the VRC.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying an error message of a VRL capable of checking and storing an error occurring during a reservation recording and displaying the same. have.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a reservation recording method of V-Cal which reserves and records a broadcast program transmitted from a broadcasting station based on information about a reserved recording program, wherein the reservation is set based on an external operation signal. If the current time counted by the timer in the microcomputer during the first step of storing the information about the program in the memory, and then transitions to the reserved standby state, and the first stage of the reserved standby state, the broadcast start time of the broadcast program A second step of recording the broadcast program tuned through a tuner based on a recording control signal from the microcomputer; and checking whether an error of the V-Cal occurs during recording of the second step, and if an error occurs. A third step of storing the generated error in the memory corresponding to the corresponding broadcast program; And a fourth step of displaying an error message for the broadcast program stored in the memory on a display device based on an error check key signal from a key input means based on an external operation signal. Provides a method for displaying messages.

The above and other objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the 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.

1 is a schematic block diagram of hardware for performing a method of displaying an error message of a VR according to the present invention. The key input unit 110, the microcomputer 120, the memory 130, the recording unit 140, and the OSD are illustrated in FIG. (On Screen Display; hereinafter abbreviated as OSD) It is composed of a driving unit 150.

In the figure, the key input unit 110 includes a reservation key and an error checker for reserving a desired broadcast program for reservation recording, and when a corresponding key is input based on a user's operation signal, the corresponding key signal is input to the microcomputer. Provided to (120), the microcomputer 120 is operated by a predetermined power supply (Vcc) provided by the external voltage is transformed, the information on the broadcast program that is reserved based on the reservation key from the key input unit 120 (example For example, a broadcast channel, a broadcast week, a broadcast start time, a broadcast end time, and the like of a broadcast program are stored in the memory 130.

In addition, the microcomputer 120 generates a control signal for recording a reserved recorded broadcast program stored in the memory 130, and checks a predetermined power supply (Vcc) and the recording unit 150 at the time of reserved recording. (Eg, power failure, reel or drum, deck error, recording prevention tab, etc.) occurs in response to the corresponding broadcast program, and then stores the memory according to the error check key signal from the key input unit 110. A control signal for displaying an error message stored in 130 is generated.

In addition, the recording unit 140 records a broadcast program tuned through a tuner (not shown) based on a control signal for recording from the microcomputer 120, and the OSD driver 150 displays the display from the microcomputer 120. On the basis of a control signal for the display, an error message for the corresponding broadcast program stored in the memory 130 is processed by OSD.

An operation of the method of displaying an error message of VRC according to the present invention through the hardware composed of the above-described members will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, a user reserves a desired broadcast program by using a reservation key provided in the key input unit 110. In this case, the user may reserve a plurality of broadcast programs (step 210).

At this time, the microcomputer 120 stores information on a plurality of broadcast programs reserved through the key input unit 110 (for example, a broadcast channel, a broadcast week, a broadcast start time, a broadcast end time, etc. of a desired broadcast program). Generates a control signal for storing in the 130, the information on the reserved broadcast program based on the control signal for storage from the microcomputer 120 is stored in the memory 130, the control signal of the microcomputer 120 Based on this, the VRC is switched to the standby recording standby state (step 220).

On the other hand, the microcomputer 120 checks the broadcast start time among the information on the plurality of reserved broadcast programs stored in the memory 130 (step 230), and the current broadcast start time is counted by a timer in the microcomputer 120. If the time is the same, a control signal for recording the broadcast program is generated, and the broadcast program tuned through the tuner (not shown) based on the recording control signal from the microcomputer 120 is recorded through the recording unit 140. (Step 240).

If the broadcasting start time is not the current time in the microcomputer 120 among the information on the plurality of broadcasting programs stored in the memory 130 in step 230, the reservation is continuously made based on the control signal of the microcomputer 120. The recording standby state is maintained.

At this time, the microcomputer 120 checks a predetermined power (Vcc) provided by transforming the external power supply and checks whether a power failure state and an error such as a reel or a drum in the recording unit 140 occur (step 250). If so, the cause of the generated error is checked (step 260).

The microcomputer 120 then generates a control signal for storing the error checked in step 260 corresponding to the broadcast program, and in step 260 based on the control signal for storage from the microcomputer 120. The checked error is stored in the memory 130 in correspondence with the broadcast program (step 270).

On the other hand, when the error occurrence check result in step 250 does not occur, such as a power failure or an error in the reel or drum in the recording unit 140, the microcomputer 120 controls to continuously record the broadcast program currently being recorded. A signal is generated and the broadcast program currently being recorded is continuously recorded based on the recording control signal from the microcomputer 120.

Next, when an error check key signal is provided from the key input unit 110 based on a user's operation signal (step 280), the microcomputer 120 extracts an error of the corresponding broadcast program stored in the memory 130 and then outputs the error check key signal. Generates a control signal for display, and based on the display control signal from the microcomputer 120, an error message for the broadcast program stored in the memory 130 is OSD processed through the OSD driver 150, and then displayed. Displayed by the device (generally a monitor of a television) (step 290).

If the error check signal is not provided from the key input unit 110 to the microcomputer 120, the process returns to step 220 and repeats the steps 220, 230, 240, 250, 260 and 270.

As described above, when the broadcast start time of the corresponding broadcast program is stored in the memory 130 with information on the broadcast program reserved by the user, the broadcast program tuned through the tuner is recorded in the recording unit ( 140, the error of V-Ral checked by the microcomputer 120 (for example, a power failure, a deck error such as a reel or a drum, an anti-recording tap, etc.) corresponds to the corresponding broadcast program, and the memory 130 When the error check key signal is input from the key input unit 110 to the microcomputer 120, an error message of the corresponding broadcast program stored in the memory 130 is OSD processed through the OSD driver 150 to display the display device. Is displayed.

Therefore, using the present invention, since an error message for a broadcast program that is not reserved and recorded is displayed on the display device, the user has an advantage of knowing an error for a broadcast program that is not recorded.
