First, the operation according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2. In the state where a television broadcast signal of a predetermined channel is tuned through the tuner 2, the image IF unit 4 selects the tuner. Intermediate frequency amplification by separating the video signal from the television broadcast signal, and the video signal signal amplified by the video amplifier (6) and amplified by the video output unit (10) While the image is reproduced on the CRT screen through the processing, the data extraction unit 20 extracts the KBPS data included in the vertical blanking period of the image signal, and the KBPS decoder 22 can recognize the extracted KBPS data. Decoding is applied to the microcomputer 28.

In this state, if the reservation setting mode of the broadcast program using the KBPS data is set by the key operation of the function setting unit 24, the microcomputer 28 controls the OSD signal processing unit 32 to control the KBPS decoder ( The character character data of KBPS data by 22) is displayed on the screen as a reservation setting menu screen, and it is judged whether or not the flag bit in itself is a reserved viewing completion bit having a value of one.

If it is determined in step 40 that the flag bit is not the reserved viewing completion bit, the process proceeds to step 41 to set the reservation viewing setting mode by key setting of the function setting unit 24.

Then, the process proceeds to step 42 and the microcomputer 28 sets the program check number set to itself to 6 when the maximum of 6 broadcast programs can be reserved, and then proceeds to step 43 and proceeds to the microcomputer. Through the timer operation of the timer (28), it is determined whether or not the currently timed time corresponds to the end time of the broadcast program to be reserved.

As a result of the determination in step 43, when the microcomputer 28 determines that the time indicated by its timer has elapsed to the end time of the broadcast program to be reserved, the control proceeds to step 44 to control the broadcast program. It is determined whether or not it is a one-time reservation setting.

As a result of the determination of step 44, if it is determined that the broadcast program corresponding to the end time is in the one-time reservation setting state, the control proceeds to step 45 to delete the reservation setting information of the broadcast program.

However, if it is determined in step 44 that the broadcast program desired to be reserved is determined to be a continuity reserved setting, then control proceeds to step 46 to change the reserved setting date of the broadcast program to a later broadcast date and set it. do.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 43 that the microcomputer 28 determines that the end time of the broadcast program for which the predetermined reservation is to be set does not correspond to the current time, the control proceeds to step 47 and the current time of the broadcast program is determined. It is determined whether or not before the broadcast start time.

As a result of the determination of step 47, the microcomputer 28 determines that the current time indicated by its timer is earlier than the broadcast start time of the broadcast program for which the predetermined reservation is to be set, and then the control proceeds to step 48 where the control program proceeds. After calculating the program check number set for the program as the program number for reservation setting, the process proceeds to step 49 where the program check number is decreased by one.

The microcomputer 28 then proceeds to step 50 and determines whether the program check number is set to zero.

As a result of the determination in step 50, if it is determined that the program check number is not set to 0, the control proceeds to step 42 to repeatedly perform the operations from steps 42 to 49.

However, if it is determined in step 50 that the program check number reaches 0 and is set, then control proceeds to step 51 where an operation for turning on the main power supply by setting a key of the function setting unit 24 is performed. Judge whether or not.

As a result of the determination in step 51, when the microcomputer 28 determines that a key operation for turning on the main power is performed by the function setting unit 24, the control proceeds to step 52, and the power circuit unit (not shown). The main power is turned on by switching and controlling a relay switch provided at the same time, and the scheduled broadcast program tuned through the tuner 2 as the broadcast start time of the reserved program is arrived by the timer's own timed operation. The video / audio signal processing is performed on the television broadcast signal of the channel according to the video and audio reproduction through the CRT and the speaker, respectively.

Next, in step 53, the microcomputer 28 determines whether broadcast ID code data for the reserved broadcast program is detected through decoding processing from the KBPS decoder 22.

As a result of the determination in step 53, if it is determined that broadcast ID code data for the reserved broadcast program is detected, control proceeds to step 54 to enable reserved playback of the broadcast program.

Next, operation according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step 60, the microcomputer 28 is extracted through the data extractor 20 and receives the decoded KBPS data through the KBPS decoder 22.

In that state, the process proceeds to step 61, and the microcomputer 28 determines whether the function setting unit 24 performs a key operation for setting the genre reservation setting mode.

As a result of the determination in step 61, when it is determined that the genre reservation setting mode is not set by the key operation of the function setting unit 24, the control proceeds to step 62, and it is determined that the reservation setting mode of the normal broadcast program is After selecting a predetermined program, the flow advances to step 63 to determine whether the reservation is set for one-time viewing or the reservation for continuous viewing of the selected broadcast program, and the reservation setting bit is set as one-time reservation or continuous reservation. It is set according to.

However, when it is determined that the reservation setting mode by the key operation of the function setting unit 24 is set to the genre reservation setting mode as a result of the determination in step 61, the control proceeds to step 64 and the process is performed as shown in FIG. The KBPS data sets a genre bit of 8 bits of the reserved program for the broadcast program.

In this state, the microcomputer 28 determines whether the broadcast program for the reservation setting is the continuous broadcast program through the genre bit shown in FIG. 3 in step 65.

As a result of the determination in step 65, when it is determined that the broadcast program is a continuous program through genre bits, control proceeds to step 66, where 6 bits are set according to the continuous program in the genre bits of the reserved program.

In that state, the microcomputer 28 proceeds to step 67 and selects the genre of the source as a reservation setting program from the genre beats having genres such as news, movies, entertainment, sports, drama, music, and the like shown in FIG. In step 68, the broadcast start time and end time data for each broadcast program included in the reserved genre is buffered and stored in the setting data memory 26.

In step 69, the microcomputer 28 sets a predetermined program number for each of the reserved broadcast programs, and proceeds to step 70 to set the reserved setting completion bit.

According to the present invention made as described above, according to the reservation request for the predetermined broadcast program as well as the reservation viewing for a predetermined broadcast program through the KBPS data received from the television broadcast signal on the television, it is possible to easily reserve the desired broadcast program You will have the advantage that you can.
