Description

How to record the recording mode of VRF

The present invention relates to a recording mode guiding method of a VCR (Video Cassette Recorder; hereinafter abbreviated as VSR). In particular, it is possible to record an appropriate recording mode by guiding the recording mode according to the remaining amount of video tape. A method of guiding a recording mode of a suitable V-Cal.

In general, when a user wants to record a broadcast program displayed on a TV on a video tape, the user turns on the VRC connected to the TV, and when the desired broadcast program starts, a recording button provided on the own panel or the remote control of the VRC. By inputting (Record Blutton), you can record the program.

On the other hand, there are SP (Standard Play) mode and EP (Extended play) mode in the recording mode, and the recording time varies depending on the recording speed for each recording mode, and according to the broadcasting time of the broadcasting program desired by the user. By changing the recording mode, it is possible to record appropriately for the broadcast time.

However, since the user must select the recording mode after visually confirming the remaining amount of the video tape in each recording mode, it is difficult to determine the correct recordable time and there is a problem that must be checked each time.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a recording mode guiding method of VR which can guide the recording mode according to the remaining amount of video tape and select the recording mode. .

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in the recording method using VRC, when the desired broadcast program is set to record through the key input unit, the remaining amount of the video tape inserted into the recording unit is determined, and then each recording according to the remaining amount is performed. A first step of displaying the recordable time for each mode; and if any one of the recordable times for each recording mode displayed in the first step is selected based on an external operation signal, the broadcast signal provided from the tuner is selected from the selected recording mode. It provides a recording mode guide method of the V-CE, characterized in that consisting of a second step of recording.

The invention and other objects and various advantages 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.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of hardware for performing a recording mode guidance method of a VR in accordance with the present invention. The key input unit 110, the microcomputer 120, the memory 130, and an On Screen Display (OSD) will be described below. OSD abbreviated) and a driving unit 140 and a recording unit 150.

In FIG. 1, the key input unit 110 provides the microcomputer 120 with a key signal for recording, a key signal for reservation recording, and a key signal for selecting a desired recording mode according to a user's operation. 120 generates each control signal for performing a function corresponding to the key signal from the key input unit 110.

The memory 130 stores a message for guiding a recording time corresponding to a recording mode and a message for replacing a video tape, and the OSD driver 140 stores a memory (based on a control signal from the microcomputer 120). OSD is then processed and displayed on the screen, not shown, and the recording unit 150 records the broadcast signal provided from the tuner, not shown, based on the control signal from the microcomputer 120. .

An operation process of the recording mode guide method of V-Cal according to the present invention made of the above-described constituent members will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, when the user sets a broadcast program to be recorded using the recording key in the key input unit 110 (step 210), a corresponding key signal is provided from the key input unit 110 to the microcomputer 120, and the microcomputer ( 120 determines the remaining amount of the video tape inserted into the recording unit 150 (step 215), and generates a control signal for displaying the recordable time for each mode according to the remaining amount.

Accordingly, a message for guiding the recordable time for each recording mode stored in the memory 130 and the recordable time determined in step 215 are based on the control signal for display from the microcomputer 120. The OSD is processed through 140, and then the displayed screen is displayed (step 220).

On the other hand, the microcomputer 120 checks whether the broadcast program set from the key input unit 110 is a reserved recording (step 225), and displays a message for selecting a recording mode stored in the memory 130 if it is not a scheduled recording. The control signal is generated and a message for selecting a recording mode stored in the memory 130 is displayed on the screen based on the control signal for display from the microcomputer 120 (step 230).

Then, the user confirms the message for selecting the recording mode displayed on the screen, and then selects the desired recording mode through the key input unit 110, provided from the tuner not shown based on the control signal of the microcomputer 130. The broadcast signal is recorded in the recording mode selected by the recording unit 150 (step 235).

On the other hand, if the check result in step 225 shows that the broadcast program set from the key input unit 110 is reserved recording, the microcomputer 120 checks whether the recordable time determined in step 220 is possible in the SP mode (step 240, if the recordable time is possible in the SP mode, steps 230 and 235 are performed, and the recordable time is changed to the SP mode, and the computer 120 receives a message for replacing a video tape stored in the memory 130. Generates a control signal for display.

Accordingly, the video tape replacement message stored in the memory 130 is displayed on the screen based on the control signal for the display from the microcomputer 120 (step 245).

On the other hand, the microcomputer 120 checks whether the video tape is replaced through the recording unit 150 (step 250), and returns to step 240 if the video tape is replaced, and if the video tape is not replaced, the step ( It is checked whether the recordable time determined in step 215 is possible in the EP mode (step 255).

As a result of the check in the step 255, if the recordable time is not possible in the EP mode, the process returns to step 245. If the recordable time is possible in the EP mode, the microcomputer 120 controls a signal for recording in the EP mode. Is generated, and the broadcast signal provided from the tuner not shown based on the control signal from the microcomputer 120 is recorded in the EP mode (step 260).

As described above, the remaining amount of video tape inserted into the recording unit 150 is determined by the microcomputer 120, and the recordable time for each recording mode is OSD processed through the OSD driver 140, and then the screen is displayed. If the user selects a desired recording mode, the broadcast signal is recorded in the recording mode selected by the recording unit 150.

Therefore, by using the present invention, since the user does not have to check the video tape according to the recording mode, the user can not only know the recordable time according to the remaining amount of the video tape but also can solve the user's trouble.
