The present invention relates to a method for automatically setting a repetition interval, and more particularly, a repetitive reproduction section when a title file such as a foreign currency or a movie or a DivX file stored in a recording medium such as a DVD, a DVD, or a hard disk (HDD) is reproduced. The present invention relates to a method for automatically setting a repetition section by setting only one of a start point or an end point of a repetition section for setting a, and then automatically setting the boundary point as an end point or a starting point of the repetition section when a chapter boundary exists. .

Recently, various multimedia devices capable of recording, storing, or reading out high definition video data and high quality audio data have been developed and commercialized.

1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing the configuration of a video image recorder, which is one of the conventional multimedia devices.

The conventional video image recorder 100 has a configuration including a storage 11, a video disc system (VDR) system 12, a microcomputer 13, a memory 14, and the like.

The storage 11 may be, for example, a DVD or a hard disk (HDD) in which various programs of video and audio data are recorded and stored.

In addition, when the video image recorder 100 is a DVD recorder, the storage 11 may be an optical disc to be inserted and mounted, and the DivX file and the SMI file may be recorded and stored together.

On the other hand, when the microcomputer 13 plays back the title video or DivX file stored in the storage 11 in response to a user's request, the microcomputer 13 controls the VDR system 12 to record the title video file or the DivX file. A series of operations are performed to reproduce and output A / V data as original audio and video data. At this time, the microcomputer 13 stores the data set by the user in the memory 14 and controls the reproduction operation based on the data.

However, when the title video file or the DivX file is reproduced as described above, and the user wants to repeatedly play the desired recording section, the starting point and the ending point are set for the repeating recording section. (Chapter) In the case where a boundary exists, there is a problem that a solution for not only selecting and specifying a repeating section more easily but also allowing a repeating playback operation to be performed more efficiently is not provided yet.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a starting point of a repeating section for setting a repeating playback section when playing a title file such as a foreign currency or movie or a DivX file stored in a recording medium such as a DVD or a hard disk (HDD). Alternatively, if only one of the end points is set, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically setting a repetition section to automatically set the boundary point as an end point or a start point of the repetition section when a chapter boundary exists.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for automatically setting a repetition interval, the method comprising: a first step of performing a reproduction operation of a title composed of one or more chapters; A second step of setting interval repetition during the reproducing operation; And a third step of searching for and setting the position of the end of the interval repetition when setting the start of the interval repetition, and setting and searching for the position of the start of the interval repetition when setting the end of the interval repetition. It is characterized by.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the setting of the repeating section is to repeat the inputted point when the user inputs a Repeat Area Set Key while performing the operation of reproducing the title image stored in the recording medium. Save as start position information, and if there is no further section setting operation and chapter boundary exists in the video data to be played, the chapter boundary point is stored as Repeat End Position information. Done. Here, the interval repetition setting key may include both a start key and an end key, and if the end key is first input during the reproducing operation, reverse search is performed prior to the end key setting to automatically set the first chapter boundary as a starting point.

As described above, after the section repeat start and end position information is stored, the section repeat play mode is automatically set or the section repeat play mode is set according to a user's key input. With reference to each, a series of operations of repeatedly playing the video data recorded in the corresponding section one or more times is performed, as described in detail below.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an automatic repetition interval setting method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, the microcomputer 13 performs an operation control of the VDR system 12 according to a user's playback request, reads a title image from the storage 11, and performs a playback operation of playing back the main video and audio (S202). .

During the reproducing operation as described above, the user inputs the interval repeat start key to set the interval repeat (S204).

For example, in a state in which the nth chapter (Chapter #n) is played in one title, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), when the user inputs the segment repeat start key, the microcomputer 13 starts the segment repeat. The point of the title image corresponding to the time point at which the key is input is stored in the memory 14 as the repeat start position information (Repeat Start Position) (S206).

Subsequently, the microcomputer 13 continues to play the title video, and determines whether there is a chapter boundary, which is the point where the n th chapter (Chapter #n) ends, as shown in FIG. (S208). For example, while playing the nth chapter (Chapter #n), it is determined whether a chapter boundary appears where the nth chapter (Chapter #n) ends and the n + 1th chapter (Chapter #n) starts. As shown in (a) of FIG. 3, when there is a chapter boundary where an n th chapter (Chapter #n) and an n + 1 th chapter (Chapter # n + 1) exist, a point corresponding to the chapter boundary is the interval repeating end position. Information (Repeat End Position) is stored in the memory 14 (S210).

On the other hand, while the nth chapter (Chapter #n) is being played, when the user sets only the end key without inputting the start key of the repeating section as shown in FIG. Stores the point of the title image corresponding to the point in time at which the interval repetition end key is input to the memory 14 as the interval repetition end position information (Repeat End Position). Then, the microcomputer 13 performs a reverse search before setting the end position of the interval repetition, that is, the chapter boundary where the n-1 th chapter (Chapter # n-1) meets the n th chapter (Chapter #n) boundary meets. The corresponding point is stored in the memory 14 as section repeat start position information.

As described above, after the section repeat start and end position information is stored, the microcomputer 13 automatically sets the section repeat playback mode or sets the section repeat playback mode according to a user's key input (S212).

Thereafter, the microcomputer 13 performs the n-th chapter corresponding to the interval repeating end position information from the corresponding point of the n-th chapter (Chapter #n) corresponding to the interval repeating start position information through the VDR system 12 (Chapter #n). The operation of reading and playing the video data and the audio data, respectively, is repeated until the end of the step (S214).

On the other hand, during the playback of the n th chapter (Chapter #n) in step S208, the chapter boundary where the n th chapter (Chapter #n) ends after the user inputs the interval repeat start key as shown in (c) of FIG. When the interval repeat end key is inputted before (S220), the microcomputer 13 stores the chapter point corresponding to the point in time at which the interval repeat end key is input to the memory 14 as the interval repeat end position information ( S222). Subsequently, the operation of setting the section repeat play mode and repeatedly playing the set section is performed in the same manner as described above.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a title file such as a foreign currency or a movie or a DivX file stored in a recording medium such as a DVD or a hard disk (HDD) or a DivX file, the start point of a repeating section or If only one of the end points is set, it is possible to realize a method of automatically setting a repetition section in which a boundary point is automatically set as an end point or a start point of the repetition section when a chapter boundary exists.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.
