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

That is, a key input unit 30 having various function mode keys, reserved broadcast program information deletion keys, and the like, and the OS signal processor 31 and the memory unit 32 are controlled by receiving an input signal from the key input unit 30. Microcomputer 33, an ODS processing unit 31 for outputting various subtitle information through a TV receiver, and a memory unit 32 for storing various reserved broadcast program input information during reservation recording.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling input of broadcast program information during reservation recording according to the present invention.

Herein, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, the user inputs current broadcast program information (channel, date, scheduled recording start time / end time, etc.) to be watched on the OSD menu screen using a remote controller or the like (step 40).

When the current broadcast program information is input in the above step, the microcomputer 33 checks the recording time zone and searches to see if there is existing broadcast program information input in the same time zone (step 41).

In addition, based on the above search results, the microcomputer 33 judges whether there is existing broadcast program information in which the reserved recording time zone overlaps with each other (step 42).

If it is determined that existing broadcast program information overlapping the reserved recording time zone is present in the above step, the microcomputer 33 sends a control signal to the OSD processor 31 to output the existing broadcast program information through the TV receiver on the OSD screen. (Step 43). That is, the OS menu screen shown in Table 6 is output.

Scheduled recording / cancellation channel: 11 Recording speed: Standard date 97 / 08/04 Start time: 11 am: 11 End time: 12 am: 3002∼69 Channel 1∼ 5 Select function End

In addition, through the OS menu screen, a message asking whether to delete existing program information duplicated in the same recording time zone is outputted (step 44).

That is, the OS menu screen shown in Table 7 is output.

Scheduled recording / cancellation channel: 11 Recording speed: Standard date 97/08/04 Start time: 11: 11 End time: 12: 30 am Duplicate program: 11: 00-13: 0097 / 08/04 To delete an existing program Press the delete key.

The user must determine whether to delete the existing program information by viewing the OSD menu screen. At this time, when the user presses the delete key, the microcomputer 33 determines whether the delete key is currently input (step 45). .

At this time, if the user does not want to delete the existing broadcast program data, of course, the user does not press the delete key, but instead, the recently input broadcast program input data is cleared (step 47).

At this time, the microcomputer 33 determines whether the recently inputted broadcast program input data is cleared, and if so, determines whether the input of the broadcast program information has been terminated by the user (step 48).

At this time, if it is determined that the input of the program information is finished, the microcomputer 33 returns to step 44 again.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 45 that the delete key is input, the microcomputer 33 deletes the existing program information and then stores the recently input program information in the memory unit 32 (step 49).

In the present invention, when another broadcasting program is input in the same recording time zone by a user's mistake when the reserved recording program information is input, an ODS screen indicating whether to delete information of the existing broadcasting program is automatically worn by a T-Bee receiver. By deleting the program information or inputting the existing broadcast program information at different time zones, it is possible to record a broadcast program that the user wants to watch without a hitch.
