Description

How to automatically set the reservation recording procedure of VSI system

The present invention relates to a VSI system having a reservation recording setting function. Particularly, when a user sets a reservation to reserve a regular broadcast program in such a VSI system, the system records a recording start date / time for which the user currently sets a reservation. Compared with the existing contents, if the current setting contents are faster than the existing ones, the contents are automatically prioritized to be recorded.

A general VSI system is an electronic device having a recording / playback function that is widely used with a TV receiver, and a conventional circuit having an OSD function in such a VSI system is shown in a block diagram as shown in FIG. 1.

Here, a tuner 34 for receiving a regular broadcast signal from an antenna 33 of a VSI system and performing channel tuning, and a phase for controlling a phase locked loop (PLL) of the tuning signal provided from the tuner 34. The lock loop circuit 35, the microcomputer 32 that controls the VSI system, the OSD 41 that generates the OSD screen, the system memory 42 of the VSI system, and the various key operations The key input section 31, the deck section 36 for performing the recording / playback deck operation, and the like.

In addition, a configuration including a servo circuit 37 for controlling a drive motor and the like on the deck portion 36 side, an RF converter 38, a video signal processor 39 for video signal processing, a TV receiver 40, and the like. It is made up of.

In the conventional VSI system, when the user wants to watch a television broadcast by operating the key input unit 31, the microcomputer 32 tunes the signal received through the antenna 33 through the tuner 34, At this time, the microcomputer 32 controls the phase lock loop circuit 35, and the phase lock loop circuit 35 selects and tunes the tuner 34 by providing frequency-synchronized tuning data.

When watching the videotape through the key input unit 31, the VSI microcomputer 32 recognizes the key input, controls the deck unit 36 and the servo circuit 37, and controls the RF converter 38. The current mode is operated in the VSI mode, and thus the video signal is processed by the video signal processor 39 and then the image display operation is performed through the TV receiver 40.

On the other hand, the reservation recording method known in the conventional VSI system is variously known, such as the G code method, VPS (PCD), PCD (Program Delivery Control) method, Baroque method.

In addition to the above-described method, in recent years, all scheduled recordings have been designed to allow a user to perform a reservation setting operation using a screen interactive OSD menu method. An example of this is illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B. .

In this case, when the VSI system is called up by using the key input unit 31 of the VSI system or the key button on the remote control transmitter, the menu screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 2A. 1, 2. Pre-TV Program N0. 2, ..... display screen is displayed or as shown in FIG. 2B (B) Scheduled recording program number 1. Start at what time and minutes, AM / PM; What time stop, what time, afternoon / morning; The channel 7 display screen appears, and the user presses the corresponding numeric key to modify the contents according to the contents displayed on the screen, or turns off the power after setting a new reserved recording contents. It was accomplished by work.

And, when the user sets a reservation recording in such a conventional BSA system, for example, 1. Reservation recording number 1; September 11, 10; 00 ~ 11; 00, 2. Reservation Record No. 2; September 10 09; 00 ~ 09; 30, 3. Reservation Recording No. 3; 18; 00-18; 30, 4, September 5, reserved recording number 4; If the reservation is made in the order of 20; 00 to 21; 30 on September 10, the system performs reservation recording, such as 1,2,3,4, .., etc. of the menu screen on which the user setting is displayed. Instead of the procedure, the menu screen 3 → 2 → 4 → 1 was to be performed.

Therefore, if the user sets a new schedule recording now, the user registers the number 5 when the program of 16; 00 to 17; 00 is set as 5 on September 4, and the user executes recording according to the procedure. I could not expect this, so I was confused about using this system.

As described above, in the above-described system, since the reserved recording execution items are not displayed by changing the recording execution order in the above state, use of such a system is inconvenient.

The purpose of the present invention is to notify the user by the time by date rather than the order set by the user through the OS screen when the reservation recording is made in the order irrespective of the date to improve the above problems In this case, the user of the system can be provided with convenience.

Particularly, in order to implement the object of the above example, in the VSI system, when the user sets the reservation recording regardless of the date and time, the procedure displayed on the OSD screen is sorted according to the date and time, and a series of processing is performed. It is characterized by a method of automatically setting the reservation recording setting procedure of the VSI system performed by the reservation recording procedure automatic setting processing program.

Hereinafter, more specific features of the present invention will be understood by describing the same in detail with the accompanying drawings.

That is, FIG. 3 illustrates a program for automatically setting a reservation recording procedure 100, which can implement a method for automatically setting a reservation recording procedure of a VSI system according to the present invention.

In this case, the system checks whether a user has inputted the reserved recording setting, and if there is an input of the reserved recording setting key, storing the A data, which is the contents of the scheduled recording start date, in a register (steps 101 and 102), and then whether the system has existing reserved recording data. After checking the registration table, if there is an existing reserved recording, finding the date and time data of the existing reserved recording data having priority and drawing it to the comparison register (steps 103 and 104), and the A data and B data of the register. If the A data is later than the B data, the next step is to fetch and compare the next B data (steps 104 and 109), and if the A data is faster than the B data, the A data is stored as priority. Storing the sequence numbers in order of priority (step 106); If there is a yirwojyeo is configured to include a step (step 107 108) for outputting the changed recording reservation program display.

In the present invention as described above, when a user sets a reservation recording without consciousness of a recording reservation date or time, the system changes to an actual reservation recording procedure to provide an OSD screen of reservation setting procedure display, so that the user is not confused. You can check the reservation order without.

At this time, the system is also executed by the microcomputer 32 of the system together with the reservation recording procedure automatic setting program 100 of FIG. 3 in the example of FIG. 3 to display the contents set by the user by the date order and the time order of the date. You can check and confirm the scheduled recording contents and recording execution procedure set by yourself.

The reservation recording procedure automatic setting program 100 checks whether there is an input of a reservation recording setting by the user, and if there is a reservation recording setting key input, the A data which is the contents of the reservation recording start date and time is stored in a register (steps 101 and 102).

In this case, the user calls up the OSD Menu screen as shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1

If you press 2 in Table 1, the screen shown in Table 2 will appear.

TABLE 2

Looking at the screen, the channel / month / day / start time / end time according to the program order is input.

After that, the system checks the registration table to see if there is existing reserved recording data registered by the user in the same manner as above, and if there is an existing reserved recording, the system finds that the date and time data among the existing reserved recording data has priority and enters the comparison register. It draws out (step 103, 104).

If the A data is later than the B data, the A data and the B data of the register (B data is checked as the date / time data corresponding to the priority time by mutually checking the existing data) are compared. Are extracted and compared (steps 104 and 109).

As a result of the comparison, if the date and time data of A data is earlier than B data, A data is stored as priority while priority is stored, and if the user confirms the reservation recording, the changed reservation recording program display screen is output. (Steps 107, 108).

Therefore, if the reservation recording setting data currently registered is earlier in the date and time than the existing date / time data already set in Table 2, the program procedure in Table 2 is updated again and displayed by date / time order.

Therefore, the user can know the execution procedure of the program to be executed in accordance with the time sequence from time to time through the screen.

In the present invention, when the contents set by various reservation recording means are registered by the memory order regardless of the date and time, the execution order is displayed on the OS screen in consideration of the last registered date and time. The use of such a system can be conveniently implemented.
