Hereinafter, a method of performing a macro operation in televideo according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the controller 12 determines whether the macro key 10f is input from the remote controller 10 (step 100), and when the input state of the macro key 10f is determined (step 100). YES at 100) It is determined whether a specific numeric key signal is input from the remote controller 10 (step 101).

As a result of the determination, when a user operates a numeric key for defining a macro and a specific numeric key signal is input from the remote controller 10 (YES in step 101), the control unit 12 records from the remote controller 10 within a predetermined time. It is determined whether a key 10g signal is input (step 102), and if the REC key 10g is input from the remote controller 10 (YES in step 102), the controller waits for input of a plurality of function key signals. On the other hand, if the REC key 10g is not input from the remote controller 10, it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed (step 103). If the REC key 10g is not input within a predetermined time, the predetermined time has elapsed (step 103). YES) Ends the macro function setting operation.

On the other hand, in the input standby state of the plurality of function key signals, the control unit 12 determines whether the first function key signal is input from the remote controller 10 (step 105), and as a result of the determination, the VCR is the first function key signal. In order to perform the mode switching operation, for example, when the VCR power-on signal is input (YES in step 105), the control unit 12 determines whether the second function key signal is input (step 106), and the determination result is the second. For example, when a rewind signal is input as a function key signal (YES in step 106), it is determined whether the third function key signal is input (step 107). Subsequently, the control unit 12 determines whether a fourth function key signal is input (YES in step 107), for example, when a playback signal is input as the third function key signal (YES in step 107). As a result of the determination, when the channel signal to the video switching channel (e.g., No. 4) is input as the fourth function key signal (YES in step 108), it is determined whether the fifth function key signal is input (step 109). As a result of the determination, when the VCR switching signal is input as the fifth function key signal (YES in step 109), the input of the sixth function key signal is awaited.

On the other hand, if the predetermined function key signal is not input in step 104-108 (NO), the control unit 12 determines the elapse of a predetermined time (step 109), and as a result of the determination, the predetermined function key signal is When a predetermined time elapses in the non-input state (YES in step 109), various function key signals input through the steps 104-108 are stored in the data storage unit 40 as macro data (step 110).

In addition, the controller 12 controls the OSD processing unit 16 to display the OSD text corresponding to the key signal input from the remote controller 10 in the above-described process on the CRT screen.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4, the controller 12 determines whether a macro key 10f signal is input from the remote controller 10 while macro data is stored in the data storage unit 40 (step 200). When the macro key 10f is input from the remote controller 10 (YES in step 200), it is determined whether a numeric key is input from the remote controller 10 (step 201).

In this step, if the same numeric key as the numeric key input in step 101 described above in FIG. 3 is input from the remote controller 10 (YES in step 201), the control unit 12 enters the data storage unit 40. The VCR power source is turned on (step 204) by controlling a power supply unit (not shown) to read out the stored macro data and perform the first function operation stored as the macro data.

Then, the control unit 12 controls the tape driving mechanism 46 to rewind the video tape T to perform the second functional operation based on the macro data (step 205). Image / audio signals recorded on the video tape T by controlling the tape driving mechanism 46, the signal recording / reading unit 48, and the video / audio signal processing unit 50 to perform a three-function operation. Is read out and playback processing is performed on the read video / audio signal (step 206).

Subsequently, the control unit 12 applies a predetermined mode switching signal SW to the A / V switching unit 24 to perform a fourth functional operation, and performs switching to the VCR mode (step 207). In order to perform the fifth function operation, channel 4 data, which is a video switching channel stored in the channel data storage unit 14, is read out, and the channel voltage VT is applied to the tuner 18 accordingly. Is automatically switched to the video switching channel (step 208), the controller 12 ends the operation performing operation according to the macro function.

In the above embodiment, when it is determined that the video tape is not mounted in the deck while the macro operation is performed by the remote controller 10, the controller 12 controls the OSD processing unit 16 to control the televideo. Causes an error message to be output on the CRT.

Therefore, when a user defines an action according to a frequently used function as a macro, a desired function is automatically performed by two button operations, that is, when the user wants to watch a videotape while watching a television broadcast, the macro When the button and certain number buttons are operated, the VCR is automatically turned on. After rewinding the video tape mounted in the deck, playing the video tape, switching to VCR mode and changing the viewing channel to the video switching channel, the corresponding televideo The video / audio signal output through the CRT and the speaker of the video / audio signal from the video tape (T) is reproduced and outputted so that the user can conveniently set a predetermined function.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but is applicable to an A / V device in which a video cassette recorder and a television are separately formed, and is applicable to an electronic device other than the A / V device, and the technical gist of the present invention. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

As described above, according to the method of performing a macro operation in a televideo according to an embodiment of the present invention, if a macro is defined, two key operations are required when a plurality of keys configured in a remote controller must be sequentially operated to set a specific function. It is possible to provide a convenience to the user by being able to perform a specific function only.
