Description

Scheduled recording of advertising programs on video cassette recorders

The present invention relates to a reservation recording method of a video cassette recorder, and more particularly, an advertisement program reservation recording method of a video cassette recorder for pre-recording an advertisement program using KBPS (Korea Broadcasting Program System) information. It is about.

As is well known, KBPS is a system for making reservation recording easier.

That is, KBPS converts the program reservation recording data into a digital signal on a television signal, and transmits KBPS data to any one line of the video vertical blanking interval, that is, 16H lines. It inserts and transmits, and this signal is demodulated by the K-BPS decoder on the receiving side to perform broadcast program reservation recording, and refers to a Korean-type TV reservation recording system that performs functions such as automatic time setting.

As a kind of data transmitted in such a KPS system, broadcasting station standard time information, broadcasting station name information, broadcasting date information, program information, and the like are transmitted.

In this case, the program information includes a broadcast program recognition ID code, a broadcast start time and broadcast end time for each broadcast program, a main code indicating a broadcast title, and a program type code such as drama, news, sports, music, and the like. In the case of a video cassette recorder in which a reservation recording is performed by using KBPS (KBPS), the program is changed due to a broadcasting station unlike the conventional one. In this case, since each program is given a unique code, there is an advantage that only the program can be recorded when only the code data comes in without the user having to change the time.

In addition, KBPS stores the reserved recording data in the memory device even in the event of a power failure, so that it can be accurately reserved after the power failure returns.

On the other hand, since the video cassette recorder has a reserved recording function, the reserved recording function includes reserved information inputted by a user (for example, a broadcast date, start time, end time, broadcast channel of a desired program, and recording speed of a desired program). This is a function to reserve and record a broadcast program in advance by setting, and it is an advantageous function to automatically record a broadcast program desired by the user in the absence of the user, so that the user can play and watch it next time.

Therefore, in the case where it is desired to record only the advertising program using the recording function of the video cassette recorder described above, if the advertising program is broadcast while watching TV at the broadcasting time of the advertising program to be recorded, the recording is performed. Recording was terminated, and when the advertisement program was broadcasted again, recording was performed. When the broadcasting of the advertisement program was ended, there was an inconvenience in recording the advertisement program by repeatedly performing the recording and stopping operations such as recording type.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the foregoing, and an object of the present invention is to provide a video cassette recorder for easily performing reservation recording of an advertisement program by performing reservation recording of an advertisement program by using KBPS information. To provide a method for recording advertising programs.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is a video recording recorder advertising program reservation recording method for performing a reservation recording of the advertising program using the KBPS (KBPS) information, reservation for recording the advertising program; A reservation recording information input determining step of determining whether the recording information is input; A program information reading step of reading KBPS information of a program currently being broadcast from the KBPS information when reservation recording information of the advertisement program is input as a result of the reservation recording information input determination; Advertisement program information determination step of determining whether KBPS information of the current program read out in the program information reading step is the advertisement program information; A current time counting step of counting a current time counting the current time if KBPS information of the program current program read in the program information reading step is the advertisement program information as a result of the advertisement program information determination result; And if the counted current time is a scheduled recording start time of the reserved recording information, performing scheduled recording of the current program until a reserved recording ending time of the reserved recording information.
