The present invention relates to a video device, and more particularly, to a video device having a function of moving the recording material and a control method thereof.

As the technology of video devices such as TVs and DTVs has evolved, a personal video recorder (PVR) device capable of storing a large amount of A / V data and outputting freely stored A / V data at a desired time has emerged. .

In addition, a video device having a time-machine function, a time-shift function, or the like, which is a technology for continuously storing a broadcast stream transmitted from a broadcasting station for a predetermined time in real time, has also appeared.

Therefore, in the reality that the A / V data pre-stored in the video device is absolutely increased, there is a growing interest in a technology that can move to a specific time point of the total amount of the A / V data according to the user's preference.

However, the conventional video apparatus having a function of instantaneous movement of a recording and a control method thereof have the following problems.

In the conventional teleportation function (eg, drag and play), the teleportation is performed only at a predetermined time unit irrespective of the total amount of the recording, so that the user moves to a desired position. Too much time is spent, and there is a problem in that the user cannot search the exact location preferred.

This is because, in the conventional video apparatus, regardless of the recorded time, the total time of the recording is divided by a specific value, for example, 30, and the number of times a specific key button for implementing the recording function is moved to the corresponding time. Because it is.

For example, if there is an 8-hour recorded program, when the 8 hours are divided by 30, the time to move by one drag is 16 minutes, which makes it virtually impossible for the user to move to a desired time point.

In addition, even in the case of a two-hour time-shifted broadcast program, if the two hours are divided by 30, the time to move by one drag is 4 minutes, so that the user may move to a desired time point. There was a difficult problem.

Meanwhile, in the case of a time-shifted broadcast program having a minimum of 30 seconds, when the 30 seconds are divided by 30, the time to move by one drag is 1 second, and thus the user moves to a desired time point. There was a problem that takes too much time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to set a moving time unit when implementing a teleporting function (for example, a drag and play function) of a recording. The present invention provides a video device and a control method thereof having a teleporting function of a recording material capable of searching for a user's desired point of view more accurately.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention that can specifically realize the above object will be described.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a video device having a function of moving a recording according to the present invention.

FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a first embodiment of a video device having a teleporting function of a recording according to the present invention.

FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a second embodiment of a video device having a teleporting function of a recording according to the present invention.

FIG. 2C is a diagram illustrating a third embodiment of a video apparatus having an instant moving function of a recording according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1, 2A, 2B, and 2C, a flow of a control signal between components of an image device having a teleporting function of a recording according to the present invention, and a unit of a teleportation time of the recording are set. An example of providing a UI screen is as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, the imaging apparatus 101 according to the present invention includes a tuner 102, a VSB receiver 103, a PVR controller 104, a storage 105, a video decoder 106, and a display. The unit 107, the audio decoder unit 108, the speaker 109, the microcomputer 110, and the CPU 111 may be formed.

The video device 101 may be, for example, a digital television (DTV), a personal video recorder (PVR), or a digital video recorder (DVR) device.

On the other hand, including the microcomputer 110 and the CPU 111, may also be referred to as a user interface (User Interface) for teaching.

In addition, the storage unit 105, the PVR control unit 104, and the CPU 111 may be referred to as a middleware unit.

The tuner unit 102 serves to receive a specific broadcast stream from a broadcast station.

The tuner unit 102 may be, for example, an ATSC / NTSC (Advanced Television System Committee / National Television System Committee) tuner unit.

The VSB receiver 103 acts as a brain of a digital TV like a central processing unit of a PC, and transmits the transmitted broadcast stream back to the PVR controller 104.

The PVR controller 104 stores specific A / V data (for example, a recording) in the storage unit 105 or controls the storage unit 105 under the control of the CPU 111. It plays a role of recalling specific pre-stored A / V data (for example, recording).

The storage unit 105 may be, for example, in the form of a hard disk drive (HDD).

The video decoder 106 decodes video data among the A / V data transmitted from the PVR controller 104 to control the video decoder 106 to output the video data.

The audio decoder 108 decodes audio data among the A / V data transmitted from the PVR controller 104 and controls the audio decoder 108 to be output through the speaker 109.

The microcomputer 110 receives a user command input through a remote controller or a local key button attached to the video device 101 and generates a specific key value.

The CPU 111 controls the PVR controller 104 according to a specific key value transmitted from the microcomputer 110.

In particular, in relation to the present invention, a process of operating the components in the imaging apparatus 101 will be described in more detail as follows.

The storage unit 105 stores, among a number of broadcast programs, specific recordings recorded with user settings and recordings temporarily stored by being time-shifted.

At this time, the recording function recorded in the storage unit 105 may execute a teleporting function of the recording, such as a drag and play function.

However, in the present invention, the display unit 107 is controlled according to the control of the CPU 111 before implementing the teleportation function (eg, a drag and play function) of the recording. Through this, the screen as shown in FIG. 2A may be output.

First, as an example of a method of setting the unit of time at which the momentary movement of the recording is made, the user may select 'time unit' or 'step unit'.

Of course, it is also possible to design the invention to be implemented only in specific units, without user selection.

If the user selects 'time unit', the screen as shown in FIG. 2B is output through the display unit 107.

At this time, when a specific time unit is selected, the CPU 111 stores it on its own or in another memory (not shown).

Then, when an input signal for executing the teleportation function of a specific recording is applied through the microcomputer 110 (for example, input of a "LEFT" button, a "RIGHT" button, etc.), the CPU 111 The PVR controller 104 controls the PVR controller 104 so that the specific recording material is output through the display unit 107 and the speaker 109 from the time when only the stored time unit is moved.

On the other hand, when the user selects 'step unit', a screen as shown in FIG. 2C is output through the display unit 107.

At this time, when a specific step unit is selected, the CPU 111 first calculates the total length of the recording object being displayed.

The CPU 111 divides the total length of the recording material by the selected specific step unit value, calculates the movement unit time, and stores the result in itself or in another memory (not shown).

If an input signal for executing a teleporting function of a specific recording is applied through the microcomputer 110 (for example, input of a "LEFT" button, a "RIGHT" button, etc.), the CPU 111 may perform the above operation. By controlling the PVR control unit 104, the specific recording material is output through the display unit 107 and the speaker 109 from the time when only the stored time unit is moved.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the user can select 'time unit' or 'step unit' according to the total amount and preferences of the recordings, which further enhances the convenience of use.

Referring to FIG. 3, a control method of an image device having an instantaneous movement function of a recording according to the present invention will be described.

However, the teleportation function of the recording may be, for example, a drag and play function.

First, a video device stores a specific recording in a memory according to a time-shift function, a time-machine function, or a general recording function (S301).

For example, a screen as shown in FIG. 2A is displayed, and the user selects a method of setting a unit of time at which the momentary movement of the recording is made (S302).

If 'time unit' is selected as a unit of a time point at which the recording is instantaneously moved, a screen as shown in FIG. 2B is displayed, and the user selects a numerical value of a specific time.

At this time, the moving unit is determined by the numerical value of the selected specific time (S303).

A key input signal for implementing a teleporting function of the recording is applied (S304).

For example, to return to a point in time earlier than the present point in time, the "LEFT" button is pressed, and conversely, to go to a point in time later than the present point in time, the "RIGHT" button is pressed.

According to the number of times the button is pressed, the playback time of the specific recording object is shifted by the number of the selected specific time (moving unit) (S305).

On the other hand, when a step unit is selected as a unit of time when the recording is instantaneously moved, a screen as shown in FIG. 2C is displayed, and the user selects a numerical value of a specific step.

At this time, the moving unit is determined as a result of dividing the total time of the specific recording which is already being reproduced or to be reproduced by the numerical value of the selected specific step (S306).

Then, steps S304 and S305 are performed.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and as can be seen in the appended claims, modifications can be made by those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.

And, the above-mentioned numerical value is a preferred embodiment or merely an example, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the numerical values, and as can be seen in the appended claims, Modifications are possible by those skilled in the art and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to the effects of the video device and the control method having a video moving function according to the present invention described above as follows.

The present invention allows the user to set the moving time unit when implementing the teleportation function (eg, drag and play function) of the recording, so that the user can more accurately search for a desired time point. It works.

In addition, according to the present invention, there is an effect that the user can shorten the time to search for a desired time point.
