The flowchart shown in FIG. 2 includes setting a recording medium on a deck (200), determining whether a recording mode is set (205), performing a general camcorder operation (210), and setting a reservation recording (215). ), A step 220 of determining whether a reservation recording setting is completed, a step 225 of starting a reservation recording count, a step 230 of determining whether a reservation recording start time is reached, a step 235 of transmitting television control data, Determining whether a video / audio signal has been detected (240), starting recording (245), retrying the detection of television control data (250), determining whether a video / audio signal has been detected (255), Step 260 of determining whether the scheduled recording time has ended, proceeding with recording 265, transmitting the end of recording and television control data 270, and determining whether the next scheduled recording is set (275). It is composed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The recording medium is placed on the deck of the camcorder (step 200).

When the recording medium is seated on the deck, it is determined whether the recording mode is reserved (step 205). If the recording mode is not in the reserved recording mode, a normal camcorder operation is performed (step 210). For example, when the recording mode is not in the reserved recording mode, the camcorder performs a general camcorder operation such as capturing a desired image or watching a recorded tape.

If it is determined in the reserved recording setting mode, the reserved recording is set (step 215). Reservation recording is set by a reservation recording setting key (not shown) or a remote controller (not shown) provided outside the camcorder. When setting the reservation recording, input the reservation data such as the date, start time, end time, channel, etc. of the program to be reserved through the data input unit 110. At this time, the microcomputer 190 determines the reservation recording setting by the reservation recording setting key or the input of the remote controller and reads the reservation recording data of the data input unit 110.

It is determined whether the reservation recording is completed (step 220). If the reservation recording is not completed, the process returns to step 215.

When the scheduled recording setup is completed, the scheduled recording count starts (step 225). After the scheduled recording is set, the microcomputer 190 starts counting the recording start time.

It is determined whether the scheduled recording start time is reached (step 230). If the reservation start time is not reached, the microcomputer 190 counts the recording start time.

When the reserved recording start time comes, transmitting the television control data (step 235). When the reservation recording time count is completed, the microcomputer 190 transmits the preset reservation recording data to the television set 100 through the remote control transmitter 120 and operates the power. When the television set 100 is powered on, the channel is automatically switched to the channel set in the reserved recording data. In order to detect the presence or absence of the television set 100, the microcomputer 190 reads the operation data of the television set 100 through the remote control receiving unit 130 and retransmits when the reserved recording data is not transmitted. can do.

In operation 240, it is determined whether the video / audio signal is detected from the television set 100. The video / audio signal detector 140 detects a video signal and an audio signal for a program to be reserved after transmission of reserved recording data to the television set 100, that is, a change to a reserved recording channel.

When the video / audio signal is detected from the television set 100, recording is started (step 245). The microcomputer 190 determines the detection of the video signal and the audio signal by the video / audio signal detector 140, and when the video signal and the audio signal are detected, operates the recording unit 150 to record a program.

If the video / audio signal is not detected from the television set 100, the control of the television control data is detected again to determine whether the video / audio signal is detected (steps 250 and 255). At this time, the microcomputer 190 determines the non-detection of the video signal and the audio signal from the reserved channel and retransmits the reserved recording data to the television set 100 through the remote control transmitter 120. The reserved recording data retransmission process of the microcomputer 190 can be performed a predetermined number of times, and if the video signal and the audio signal are not detected, the reserved recording of the corresponding time is deleted.

After recording of the reserved program is started, it is determined whether the reserved recording time has ended (step 260). The microcomputer 190 continuously counts from the scheduled recording start time to the recording end time.

If the scheduled recording time has not ended, recording continues (step 265).

If the reserved recording time has ended, the recording ends and the television control data is transmitted (step 270). When the reserved recording time ends, the microcomputer 190 stops the recording operation of the recording unit 150 and outputs data for turning off the power of the television set 100 through the remote control transmitter 120. The power of the television set 100 that has received the power-off data from the remote control transmitter 120 is turned off, and the state is input to the microcomputer 190 through the remote control receiver 130. When the power of the television set 100 is not turned off, the microcomputer 190 may retransmit power off data of the television set 100 through the remote control transmitter 150.

After the scheduled recording ends, it is determined whether the next scheduled recording is set (step 275). If the reserved recording is set, the process returns to step 225 and ends if the reserved recording is not set. You can set a plurality of scheduled recording settings, and the program recording is sequentially performed according to the reserved recording rank.

The text signal generator 160 generates a text to display all processes from the reserved recording setting to the end of the recording by the text generation command of the microcomputer 190. The display unit 170 displays the characters of the character signal generator 160, and the synthesizer performs character synthesis to display the characters generated by the character signal generator 160.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, by remotely controlling a television with a camcorder, a television program can be recorded with a camcorder at a desired time period and channel, thereby maximizing consumer convenience.
