Abstract

PURPOSE: A system for sharing a digital recorder network is provided to reserve video recording with each other and offer the recorded data by connecting each other with the network through a member meeting. CONSTITUTION: A video receiving/compressing device receives and compresses the broadcasting. The compressed data is provided to a small computer through the USB(Universal Serial Bus). The small computer stores the recorded data in a large capacity storing device through the USB. The small computer is connected to an upper level computer through the LAN(Local Area Network) and the Internet. The upper level computer reserves the video recording to the small computer, stores the recorded data, and decompresses and plays the compressed data.

Description

Digital Recorder Network Sharing System {DVR Network System}

Personally, having multiple digital recorders is economically challenging.

It is a concept of sharing the dvr owned by each other through a network of members through the network, so that they can schedule mutual recording and provide the recorded material.

The present invention provides a personal video recorder comprising: a modular video receiving and compressing apparatus (1) for exchanging recorded data using a network; A modular mass storage device 2; A small computer 3 capable of network; A network 4 such as a LAN or the Internet; An upper computer 5 for instructing recording reservation and for moving and storing the recorded material; A decompression and reproducing apparatus 6; It consists of the screen device 7.

An embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

In a video receiving and compression device, a small computer via usb also stores the recording data on the mass storage device via usb. This small computer is connected to the upper level computer through a network such as LAN or Internet.

The host computer schedules the recording on the small computer, imports and saves the recorded data, decompresses and plays the compressed video information.

A member capable of being interconnected via a network for the operation of the exchange of recorded data using the network of the digital video recorder; An internet access site secured for mutual contact of the members; A database containing the connection address of the member; A database showing reservation status of the members; A database showing the recording status of the members; It consists of pvr equipment owned by a member.

An operation for exchanging recorded data using a network of a digital video recorder, the method comprising: recruiting members who are interconnected through a network; Connecting to a secure internet access site for mutual contact of said members; Making an additional reservation in a database showing the reservation status of the members; Searching for recorded material desired by the user in a database showing the recording status of the members; Bringing the desired data using the information contained in the database containing the member's connection address in the search result; It has a step of recording and playing back with pvr equipment owned by a member.

It has the effect of owning multiple pvrs. Reservations can be made regardless of location.
