Description

How to set the recording time of VSI

The present invention relates to a method for simply setting the recording time in the recording mode of VSI, in particular, in the recording mode, the user can specify the recording time at a constant rate in proportion to the time when the user presses the recording key continuously. .

The recording method of TV broadcast program using VSI can be roughly divided into immediate recording method and scheduled recording method.

The instant recording method refers to a method in which a television viewer presses the recording button of VSIAL to directly execute recording when a TV viewer wants to record a program currently being watched while watching a broadcast program. It is a recording method that can accurately record the desired broadcast program even when you are away by programming and registering the recording condition in advance to record the broadcast program.

In addition, when a program that a user wants to watch while watching a TV is currently used, a method of setting an OTR (One Touch Record) time that can be easily reserved when a user wants to record from a current point in time to a future point in time is used.

This simple reserved recording method is useful when a user wants to record a desired time while watching television broadcast.

The process of registering a simple schedule recording setting is as follows.

If you want to record a broadcast program of a specific channel while the power of VSI is on, insert the tape into VSI and then select the desired channel for recording by pressing the channel selection button or number button on the remote control. do.

Following the channel selection step, pressing the recording speed selection button on the remote control to select one of the standard speed and three times the speed.

Following the above step of selecting the recording speed, the step of setting a desired simple reserved recording time is performed by pressing the recording / simple recording button provided on the body of VSI.

Table 1 shows an example of the time change table according to the recording / simple recording button operation for setting the simple reserved recording time.

Button presses Display status Operating status 1 press current time Recording continues until the stop button is pressed Press twice End 0:30 30 minutes from the current time 3rd time End 1:00 Recorded 1 hour 4 times Shutdown 1:30 Recorded for 1 hour 30 minutes 5 times End 2:00 Recorded 2 hours 6 times Shutdown 2:30 Recorded for 2 hours 30 minutes 7 times Shutdown 3:00 Recorded 3 hours 8 times Shutdown 3:30 Recorded for 3 hours 30 minutes 9 times End 4:00 4 hours recorded 10 times current time Recording continues until the stop button is pressed

As you can see, recording time is extended by 30 minutes every time recording / simple recording button is pressed, so recording time can be set up to 4 hours very easily.

However, the conventional simple reserved recording method as described above has an inconvenience in operation in which the user has to press the recording key several times when the recording time becomes long.

In addition, since the recording time is changed in units of 30 minutes, it is impossible to register the recording settings in units of 10 minutes or finer minutes. This has resulted in low frequency of use.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to set the recording time of the VSI to increase the convenience in the recording mode by being able to specify the recording time at a constant rate in proportion to the time when the user presses the recording key continuously in the recording mode To provide a method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of determining whether a recording key is input in a state where a VSI system is initialized, and determining whether the user is a continuous key that continuously presses the recording key. And, in the above case, if it is determined that the continuous key, the user checks the time (T2) while pressing the recording key, and recording by 'Recording time (T _R ) = OTR unit time (T1) × (T2 ÷ 500msec)' Calculating the time T _R , checking the number of times of input of the recording key (N) if it is not a continuous key, and recording time T _R = OTR unit time T 1 × N Calculating a recording time T _R , executing a recording mode when the process is completed, determining whether the recording time T _R has elapsed in the recording process, and at this time, T _R) continues to run if the recording Modes has not elapsed And if elapsed is characterized by performing the step of releasing the recording mode, in sequence.

Hereinafter, a recording time setting method of VSI according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a VSI system for implementing the present invention.

As referred to herein, the microcomputer 2 receives the input signal from the key matrix 1 generating the key input signal and controls the deck 6 and the servo 7 to be controlled.

In addition, the microcomputer 2 is connected to the memory 12 and the PLL 5 so as to control the tuner 4 for storing and receiving channel data, respectively.

The signal processed by the microcomputer is transmitted to the monitor 10 through the RF converter 8 and the video block 9, and the monitor 11 outputs the screen information under the control of the microcomputer. Configure by connecting to appear on the screen.

The operation relationship of such a system is described as follows.

First, when the user manipulates the key matrix 1 and tunes in to a television broadcast program, the microcomputer 2 causes the tuner 4 to tune the signal received through the antenna 3. At this time, the microcomputer 2 controls the phase lock loop, that is, the PLL 5 to change the electronic tuning voltage of the tuner 4.

If you want to watch the videotape by operating the key matrix 1, the microcomputer 2 recognizes this and controls the deck 6 and the servo 7 and the RF converter 8 to select the current mode for the VSI. The switching operation is performed so that the signal generated here is processed by the video block 9 and then output to the monitor 10.

Before operating the apparatus of FIG. 1, the television broadcast program that the user wants to watch is input by using the key matrix 1. At this time, the microcomputer 2 recognizes the broadcast reservation key (not shown) and the on-off time key (not shown) signals inputted from the key matrix 1 to control the OSD 11, which is an on-screen program IC. Done.

For example, when the user inputs the on time and the off time using the key matrix 1 and presses the channel number, the microcomputer 2 controls the on-screen programming IC, that is, the OSD 11, to display the television on the monitor 10. The reserved contents are displayed and the reserved contents are saved in the memory 12.

The process of the recording time setting method according to the present invention in VSI operating as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

That is, the microcomputer 2 first initializes itself in a state where the VSI system is powered on by the user, and at this time, it is judged whether or not the recording key is sequentially input (step 101).

Especially. In this case, the method of pressing the recording key is first an input method of pressing the recording key a predetermined number of times in proportion to the time that the user wants to record and the continuous key input of continuously pressing the recording key proposed by the present invention. Here's how. Therefore, the microcomputer determines whether or not the user continuously presses the recording key continuously (step 102). In this case, if it is determined that the user presses the recording key, the microcomputer checks the time T2 while the user presses the recording key ( Step 103).

Soon, thereby calculating a recording time (T _R) = OTR units of time (T1) × (T2 ÷ 500m / sec) ' recording time (T _R) by the (step 104).

In particular, the OTR unit time is set in the ipyrom of the microcomputer. In the past, the OTR unit time was set to 30 minutes or 60 minutes in the present invention. It is set to minutes. That is, recording time is increased by 10 minutes by pressing the continuous key for 0.5 seconds.

However, the above values are not fixed values, but may be changed by the manufacturer during the initial default value setting of VSI system.

On the other hand, if the recording key input is not a continuous key, first, the number of times of recording key input (N) is checked (step 105), and the recording time is determined by 'recording time (T _R ) = OTR unit time (T1) × N'. (T _R ) is calculated (step 106).

Also. When the above process is completed, a full recording mode is executed (step 107).

Then, it is determined whether the recording time T _R has elapsed in the recording process (step 106). At this time, if the recording time T _R has not elapsed, the operation continues with step 107, and if it has elapsed, the recording mode is released. (Step 109).

As described above, the present invention enables the user to designate the recording time at a constant rate in proportion to the time when the user presses the recording key continuously in the recording mode of VSI, thereby increasing convenience in the recording mode.

In addition, by setting the recording time setting unit more precisely than before when setting the system initial default value, the user can set the recording time accurately, thereby preventing unnecessary recording.
