Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling reservation recording time in a VSI system. In the case where a scheduled recording time zone that is being executed overlaps with a conventional program, a user arbitrarily overlaps a predetermined program end time and a start time of a next program. There is a disadvantage in that any one of them can not be arbitrarily selected, and thus the overlapping time zone portion of a plurality of programs must be given up arbitrarily without user selection.

According to the present invention, in order to improve such a conventional problem, the system checks whether the scheduled recording setup is completed in the scheduled recording setup mode, and if the scheduled recording setup is over, if there is an overlapping time zone among the reserved programs, the recording criteria setup screen (Steps 101 to 105), and if it is checked whether there is a recording criterion selection on the recording criterion setting screen, recording is performed in the recording criterion selection mode, or recording is performed on an initial recording criterion (steps 106 to 108). A method of controlling reservation recording time in VSI system including a).

How to control reservation recording of VSI system

The present invention relates to a reservation recording time control method in a VSI system having an OSD function, which is a user in particular when there is a reservation recording program having a duplicate time zone after a reservation recording setting using the screen interactive OSD function in such a system. Allows the user to select any of these time zones, allowing the user to set their preferred program reservation.

A general VSI system is to record various video / audio sources on a recording tape and to play and view the recorded video / audio programs. In such a system, a conventional VSAL system having an OSD function related to the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. As shown.

Here, a tuner 4 which receives a regular broadcast signal from the antenna 5 of the VSI system and performs channel tuning, and a phase which controls a phase locked loop (PLL) of the tuning signal provided by the tuner 4. The lock loop circuit 3, the microcomputer 2 which controls a BC system, etc. are provided.

The system also includes an OSD circuit 7 for generating an OSD screen, an EEP ROM memory 20 of a BSI system, a remote controller 1 for remote operation of a set, and a video of the system. A synchronous separation circuit 8 for separating the synchronous signal from the video signal provided from the circuit and providing the synchronous signal to the OSD circuit 7, and an RF modulator 9 for modulating the output of the OSD circuit 7 into an RF signal. Included.

The system includes a deck unit 12 for recording / reproducing deck operation, a servo circuit 11 for controlling a drive motor on the side of the deck unit 12, a display unit 6 for various displays, and a TV receiver. It consists of a configuration including a base (10).

In this conventional system, the OS 7 for performing screen interactive information registration function with a user is used, and this is performed by the remote controller 1 so that the user can select a channel required by the remote controller 1 in the area in the system memory. As a channel preset, a time adjustment for time alignment, a scheduled recording through video plus, and the like, an example of a scheduled recording operation during the operation is illustrated in FIG. 2 as follows.

That is, when the user presses a function key on the remote control transmitter side, the microcomputer 2 outputs the function menu screen through the OS circuit 7 as follows.

The screen is displayed, and the user then recalls and sets the contents of channel / date / time / start time / end time / recording speed as follows.

Scheduled recording / Cancel 1 channel: 0 7 Recording speed: Standard date--/--Start time: AM--:--End time: AM--:--01 ~ 12 Start month 99 Daily 88 Weekly function selection End < /> Edit

Scheduled Recording / Cancel 1 Channel: 0 7 Recording Speed: Standard Date 6/5 Start Time: AM--:--End Time: AM--:--1/2 AM / PM </> Edit Function Selection End

As described above, when the reserved recording program of 1 to N times is set as shown in Table 2 by using the OSD function, the reserved recording operation is automatically performed at the set time.

In addition, if the reservation recording program registered through the OS program as described above is reserved point 1 and the recording start point c is reserved pro 2 as shown in FIG. Since reservation starts at point b (d point of reservation pro 1), reservation pro 2 has a problem that recording from point c to point d cannot be performed.

Also, if the user's favorite program is reserved pro 1, the system does not record from reserve a 1 to point b when reserved pro 2 is to start recording from point a (point c of reserve pro 2). Because of this, there was a problem that the desired program was not recorded.

An object of the present invention is to reserve the user's preferred reservation program by allowing the user to arbitrarily set the time zone of the duplicate program when the registration registration of a predetermined reservation program using the system in the overlapping time zone to improve the above problems It is to be able to record.

In particular, the system checks whether or not the reservation recording setting mode and outputs the reservation recording setting screen to check the reservation recording setting mode, and checks whether the reservation recording setting of the user is finished. If it is over, check whether the end time of the predetermined scheduled recording program overlaps with the start time of the next scheduled program, and if there is an overlap part, outputting the recording standard setting screen; and if the recording standard setting screen is checked in the recording standard setting screen. The recording method is characterized in that the scheduled recording time control method in the VSI system including recording in the recording standard selection mode or performing recording on the initial recording standard.

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

100. Scheduled Recording Control Program

That is, FIG. 3 illustrates a reservation recording time control program 100 that is performed together with the microcomputer 2 of FIG.

In this case, the system checks whether the system is in the scheduled recording setup mode and outputs the scheduled recording setup screen (steps 101, 102) if the scheduled recording setup mode is completed, and checks whether the user has completed the scheduled recording setup, and if the scheduled recording setup is finished, And checking whether the end time of the program and the start time of the next reserved program overlap, and outputting the recording standard setting screen if there is an overlap (steps 103 to 105).

In addition, if it is checked whether there is a recording criterion selection on the recording criterion setting screen, recording is performed in the recording criterion selection mode or recording is performed on the initial recording criterion (steps 106 to 108).

According to the present invention of the method, when the user performs the reservation recording setting operation using the VSI system, the reservation recording setting operation is completed by the same procedure as in Tables 1 to 5.

When the reservation is completed, the system microcomputer 2 checks the reservation recording contents at any time, and when the reservation recording time arrives, the servo circuit 11 and the deck unit 12 as shown in FIG. It will be done.

At this time, when the user registers the reservation recording program as described above, when the user presses a function key through the remote controller 1, the microcomputer 2 recognizes this and outputs the screen shown in Table 1.

When the reserved recording program is input as in the usual method, the reserved recording program list is completed as shown in Table 2, and when the user presses the enter key after setting, the microcomputer 2 sets the time zone of the registered recording program. Investigate.

At this time, when the predetermined program and the next program are in the overlapping time zone, the following OSD screen is output.

Select duplicate program times Program a and program b overlap in time zones. Press the program number to select a program. Numeric Keys + Enter

When the user presses the corresponding program number after viewing the screen as described above, the system records the program number selected by the user from program a or program b from the beginning to the end, and the program not selected is ignored.

On the other hand, the above operation is performed by the microcomputer 2 with the reservation recording time control program 100 as shown in FIG. As shown in Table 5, the reserved recording setting screen is output (steps 101 and 102).

In addition, if the user finishes the reservation recording setup using the screen shown in Table 1 to Table 5, the system recognizes this and checks whether the end time of the predetermined reservation recording program overlaps with the start time of the next reservation program. If so, the recording standard setting screen shown in Table 6 is output (steps 103 to 105).

If the recording criterion setting screen checks whether the recording criterion is selected, recording is performed in the recording criterion selection mode or recording is performed based on the initial recording criterion (steps 106 to 108).

The present invention has the effect of improving the problem of not recording the program preferred by the user can be given a choice of overlapping programs when the reservation recording setting and the weak recording using the VSI system.
