The present invention relates to a method of setting a reservation recording of a broadcast program, and more particularly, to a method of setting a reservation recording of a broadcast program, which enables a user to directly input and set a reservation code during reservation recording of a broadcast program.

In general, as a means for recording and reproducing high quality video data and high quality audio data for a long time, an optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus capable of recording and reproducing information on an optical disc such as a DVD has been applied.

Such an optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus encodes video and audio signals input from an external source such as an external television broadcast tuner or camcorder into MPEG-2 video data and AC-3 audio data, for example, in accordance with a DVD format. Encoded audio and video data can be recorded in one program unit or video title set (VTS) unit in a data area of an optical disc, and the program or video title set (VTS) can be recorded. Navigation information (Navigation Information) to control the reproduction of the) is generated and recorded and managed in the navigation information area.

On the other hand, in an optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus, a broadcast program from a television broadcast tuner can be recorded on an optical disc as an external source according to an instant recording function or a reserved recording function. When the recording start time and the recording end time are selected, and the recording start / end time is selected by the user's key input operation, the user moves to the selection item of the broadcast channel to record by the input operation of the direction key. The recording channel can be selected, and the optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus can record the selected broadcast channel by the recording start / end time according to the selection of the reserved recording item set by the user.

However, in the conventional recording program setting method of the conventional broadcast program, the user needs to set the necessary items for the reservation recording while moving each selection item of the reservation recording menu by the operation of the direction keys, so that the user intuitively grasps the reservation recording matters. There is an inconvenience in that it is not easy to do so, and it is inconvenient to repeatedly check the set reservation recording matters, and if an incorrect reservation recording item is inputted, a problem arises in that each selection item must be reset again from the beginning.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to make reservation recording more intuitive by allowing a user to directly input a reservation recording item in the form of a numeric code when setting a reservation recording of a broadcast program. The present invention provides a method of setting a reservation recording of a broadcast program to enable setting.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in the method of setting a reservation recording of a broadcast program, the step of directly inputting the reservation recording information for the broadcast program of the reservation recording target in the form of a code of a preset format, the reservation The present invention provides a method of setting a reserved recording of a broadcast program, comprising: performing a reservation recording by checking a code input form of recording information.

Hereinafter, the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a DVD recorder to which the method of the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present invention records external input data on an optical disc 10 such as a DVD ± RW that can be repeatedly recorded, or reads data contained in the optical disc 10. FIG. In addition to encoding and modulating the optical pickup 12 and external input data from an external input source such as a tuner into a signal suitable for recording, generating and recording navigation information for reproduction control of the recorded data, A recording / reproducing system 14 which performs a decoding and demodulating function for reproducing the recording data read out from the optical disc 10, for recording of a broadcast program by a reserved recording function of the optical disc 10 and for reproducing the recorded data. Key input unit 16 for performing a user key input, control to control the input format of the numeric code input by the user for setting the reservation recording The memory 18 in which the program is stored and the recording / reproducing operation of the recording / reproducing system 14 are controlled, and a numeric code for reservation recording inputted by a user's operation of the key input unit 16 is stored in the memory ( The microcomputer 20 which controls the recording program of the broadcast program to be controlled by the control program of 18) and generates an OSD that generates graphics and characters for displaying the numeric code setting state of the broadcast program to be reserved. It is comprised by the part 22.

Next, Fig. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the reservation recording setting method of the broadcast program according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the flowchart according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 will be described in detail in parallel with the operation of the apparatus of FIG. 1.

First, the user displays the setting example of the reservation recording by the key operation of the key input unit 16, confirms the setting format (step S10), and then sets the input mode for the reservation recording setting (step S11).

That is, as shown in FIG. 2A, the reserved recording setting format is composed of a numeric code system having a sequence of "year, month, date and time", "recording time", and "channel information", for example, October 27, 2004 at 14 o'clock. If you want to make a scheduled recording of channel 23 for two hours from the beginning, when a numeric code is input by the user's key input unit 16 as in &quot; 20041027140223 &quot;, the microcomputer 20 makes a reservation recording based on the numeric code. The setup will be performed.

In addition, as another example of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2B, the reserved recording setting format may be determined by a numeric code system having a sequence of "month, month, year, hour", "recording time", and "channel information". Unlike the "year, month, date and time" as shown in FIG. As described above, the numeric code can be input by the user's key input unit 16 operation.

As another example of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2C, the sequence of "month date and time", "recording time", and "channel information" is excluded from the reserved code setting format by excluding the numeric code of "year". It can be determined by the numeric code system that has the number code, for example, when the reserved recording of channel 23 is performed for 2 hours from 14:00 on October 27, 2004, the number is operated by the user's key input unit 16 operation as in " 1027140223 &quot;. When the code is input, the microcomputer 20 may set the reservation recording by referring to the year information preset in the set, even if the year code is omitted.

On the other hand, as another example of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2D, the " year " and " month " It can be determined by the numerical code system having the order of bar, for example, if you want to reserve recording channel 23 for 2 hours from 14:00 on October 27, 2004, the user operates the key input unit 16 as in " 27140223 ". When the numeric code is input by the microcomputer 20, even if the year code of the year and the corresponding month is omitted, the reserved recording can be set with reference to the year information and month information set in advance in the set. To do that.

In addition, as another example of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 2E, the " year ", " recording time ", excluding " year ", " month " and " date " It can be determined by a numerical code system having a sequence of "channel information". For example, if a user wants to make a reservation recording of channel 23 for 2 hours starting at 14:00 on October 27, 2004, the user's key input unit as shown in "140223". (16) When the numeric code is input by the operation, the microcomputer 20 refers to the year information and month information preset in the set, even if the year code, the month and the date code are omitted. It is recognized that the input of the numeric code for setting the reserved recording is performed.

On the other hand, in the microcomputer 20 as shown in FIG. 3, a numeric code for reservation recording of a specific broadcast program at a specific time is inputted by the user's key input unit 16 (step S12). In step S13, it is determined whether the numeric code inputted by the user conforms to the setting format of the reservation recording.

As a result of the determination, when the microcomputer 20 determines that the numeric code input by the user does not conform to the format of the reserved recording, an error message is displayed on the display screen through the OSD generator 22 (step S14), if it is determined that the input numeric code matches the reserved recording setting format, setting of the reserved recording by the numeric code is completed (step S15).

In this state, the microcomputer 20 determines whether the reservation time inputted to the numeric code for reservation recording has elapsed (step S16), and if it is determined that the reservation time has elapsed, the recording corresponding to the number code is performed. The broadcast program of the set channel is recorded for the time (step S17).

Then, it is determined whether the reservation recording has ended (step S18), and when it is determined that the reservation recording has ended, the system enters a standby state for reproducing another reservation recording or recorded program (step S19).

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described typical preferred embodiments, but can be carried out in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention, various modifications, alterations, substitutions or additions are common in the art Those who have knowledge will easily understand. If the implementation by such improvement, change, replacement or addition falls within the scope of the appended claims, the technical idea should also be regarded as belonging to the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, the user inputs the recording start time, the recording time, and the channel of the program to be recorded, in the form of a numeric code, during the scheduled recording of a specific broadcast program in the optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus. As it can be set by the user, an intuitive input of the reservation recording matters by the user can be performed, and the reservation recording setting can be performed more accurately in a short time, thereby increasing the convenience of the user.
