Broadcast program recording method {METHOD OF TELERECORDING A BROADCASTING PROGRAM}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of recording a broadcast program on a television having a recording function, and more particularly, to a method of not recording a broadcast program in a range set by a user.

Recently, set-top boxes or digital televisions, which can receive digital broadcasts that provide high-quality video and high-quality audio, have been widely used. Among such televisions, broadcasts are automatically recorded and reproduced on an internal hard disk drive. Televisions equipped with a personal video recorder (PVR) function (hereinafter, simply referred to as a recording function TV) are also widely available.

Recording function The TV can automatically record a program of about several tens of hours on a hard disk and play it when the user requests it. You can also record and play back.

In addition, the recording function TV as described above, performs the function of receiving and storing an electronic program guide (EPG) (hereinafter, simply referred to as 'EPG') provided for each broadcaster and providing the same to a user. have.

Meanwhile, among broadcast programs provided through TV, not only broadcast programs that users want to watch such as dramas, news, and sports (hereinafter, simply referred to as 'viewable broadcast programs'), but also between a broadcast program to be watched and a broadcast program to be watched Also included in the program is an advertisement program for broadcasting various products or advertising broadcasts for viewing. Recently, commercial broadcast programs are intermittently broadcast even during broadcast of broadcast target broadcasting programs. In particular, in the case of sports programs, many commercial broadcast programs are broadcast in the middle of the broadcast.

In addition, recently, as the exposure level of entertainers increases, broadcast programs that are not suitable for adolescents to watch (hereinafter, simply referred to as “viewing restricted broadcasting programs”) are broadcast with a viewable age range.

However, currently provided recording function TVs do not provide a function of recording only a broadcast target broadcast program except a commercial broadcast program and a function of recording only a broadcast target broadcast program except a limited viewing broadcast program.

Accordingly, there is a problem that a user must watch a broadcast program (hereinafter, simply referred to as a 'recording rejection broadcast program') that the user does not want to watch while watching a recorded broadcast.

In addition, since the capacity of the hard disk is limited, if the recording rejection broadcast programs are recorded indefinitely, the recording space of the broadcast program desired by the user is reduced, so that the user cannot watch the desired broadcast program. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems, in the television that provides a recording function, to selectively record only the broadcast program to be viewed, except for the recording rejection broadcast program that the user refuses to record, broadcast program recording To provide a way.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, in the broadcast program recording method applied to a recording function television, a control unit of the recording function television receives an electronic program guide provided by each broadcasting station, Storing, when the recording rejection request signal for the broadcast program provided by the electronic program guide is input, storing, by the controller, information of the recording rejection broadcast program for which recording is requested to be rejected; Comparing the broadcasting program information included in the signal with the recording rejection broadcasting program information and determining whether the broadcasting program information is identical; if the determination result is matched, the control unit not recording the broadcasting program; and the determination result Does not match In this case, the control unit includes recording the broadcast program in the data storage unit.

According to the present invention, by not recording a broadcast program that the user does not want to record, the user can not only watch a broadcast program that does not meet his or her taste, but also can increase the recordable capacity of the storage unit. .

In addition, the present invention has an excellent effect that can block the recording of broadcast programs that are inappropriate for the education of adolescents.

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

A broadcast program recording method according to the present invention is a television equipped with a personal video recorder (PVR) function for recording and playing back a broadcast program on an internal hard disk. The present invention relates to a method of recording only a broadcast target broadcast program except for a recording rejection broadcast program set by a viewer. In the following description, the recording rejection broadcast program refers to a broadcast program that the user does not want to record. Generally, the recording rejection broadcast program may include, but is not limited to, the advertisement broadcast program and the viewing restriction broadcast program. That is, according to the user's taste, news may be a recording rejection broadcast program, and sports may be a recording rejection broadcast program. In addition, even a parental control broadcast program does not necessarily become a recording rejection broadcast program. That is, in the case of a restricted broadcast program that can be watched over 19 years old, it may be a broadcast target program for an adult. Therefore, all broadcast programs except the recording rejection broadcast program among the broadcast programs may be recording target broadcast programs.

As shown in FIG. 1, a recording function television (hereinafter, simply referred to as a recording function TV) to which the present invention is applied, includes a channel tuning unit 10, a signal processing unit 20, a display unit 30, and a speaker ( 40, a data storage 50, a user selector 70, and a controller 90.

The channel tuning unit 10 may include one or more tuners for tuning a broadcast signal received through an antenna, and a demodulator for outputting the tuned signal in a transport stream form through a demodulation process and an error correction process. The broadcast signal having a frequency band corresponding to the tuning control signal of the controller 90 is tuned.

The signal processor 20 processes a broadcast signal of a channel tuned through the channel tuner 10 and displays the same on the display 30. In addition, the signal processing unit 20 may not only broadcast signals received through the channel tuning unit 10 but also an electronic program guide (EPG) stored in the data storage unit 50 (hereinafter, simply referred to as 'EPG'). The image signal may be processed and displayed on the display unit 30. The EPG refers to organization information of a broadcast program individually received from a broadcasting station or a second broadcast service company, and is stored and managed in the data storage unit 50.

The display unit 30 performs a function of outputting a video signal decoded by the signal processor 20 among the broadcast signals of the selected channel so that a user can view it, and includes digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD). Various types of display modules, such as Plasma Display Penal (PDP), may be applied.

The speaker 40 performs a function of outputting the audio signal decoded by the signal processor 20 among the broadcast signals of the selected channel so that a user can listen to it.

The data storage unit 50 is composed of a hard disk drive or the like and performs a function of storing a broadcast signal received from the channel tuning unit 10. The broadcast signal includes a broadcast program table A including broadcast programs (broadcast programs 1, 2, and 3) substantially output through a screen as shown in FIG. 2, and simple information about the broadcast program. And a broadcast program information table (B). That is, each broadcasting station transmits the contents of each broadcasting program through the broadcasting program table A, and through the broadcasting program information table B, the broadcasting start time of each broadcasting program and the available age information of each broadcasting program. (5 years of age, 15 years of age, 19 years of age, etc.) and the types of broadcasting programs (advertisement, drama, sports, news, movies, entertainment programs, etc.) are provided on a recording function TV. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the broadcast signal includes not only the contents of each broadcast program but also information on each broadcast program. For example, when broadcast program 1 ends and broadcast program 2 starts, the broadcast program information table B formed in the header of the broadcast program 2 contains broadcast program information for the broadcast program 2. On the other hand, the controller 90 extracts the content of the broadcast program from the broadcast signal shown in FIG. 2 transmitted from the channel tuning unit 10 through the signal processor 20, the display unit 30, and the speaker 40. In addition to broadcasting, the broadcast signal is stored in the data storage unit 50. In addition, the data storage unit 50 also performs a function of storing the EPG transmitted by each broadcasting station.

The user selector 70 includes various menu keys for controlling the controller 90, and the menu keys include menu keys for allowing a user to set a recording rejection broadcast program. The user selector 70 may be configured in the main body panel of the TV, or may be configured in the form of a wireless remote controller. When the user selector 70 is configured in the form of a wireless remote controller, a wireless communicator capable of communicating with a control unit of the TV, in addition to various menu keys, is further included. The wireless communicator is further included in the TV.

The controller 90 is implemented as a CPU or a microcomputer, and outputs a broadcast program among the broadcast signals transmitted through the channel tuning unit 10 through the speaker 40 and the display unit 30, as well as the broadcast signal. May be stored in the data storage unit 50. In particular, the controller 90 applied to the present invention performs a function of not recording the data recording unit 50 with respect to the recording rejection broadcast program set by the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a recording function TV including a recording function TV including the above-described elements is used for a recording rejection broadcast program of the broadcast signals using a broadcast signal transmitted from each broadcasting station, EPG information, and recording rejection broadcast program information set by a user. This is to record only the program to be recorded except the above.

Hereinafter, a broadcast program recording method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a broadcast program recording method according to the present invention.

First, the controller 90 receives an EPG provided by each broadcasting station through the channel tuning unit 10 and stores the EPG in the data storage unit 50 (302).

The user selects an EPG using a menu key of the user selector 70, and sets a recording rejection broadcast program through the recording rejection broadcast program setting menu provided in the EPG (304). That is, EPG is a broadcast program schedule provided through a recording function TV. The broadcast program selected through the EPG includes broadcast program information as described above (broadcast start time of each broadcast program, viewable age information of each broadcast program) 5 years old or older, 15 years old or older, 19 years old or older), and the types of broadcasting programs (advertisement, drama, sports, news, movies, entertainment programs, etc.), and the like. Therefore, when the user selects the recording rejection broadcast program from the broadcast program through the user selector 70 and requests storage, the controller 90 may provide the recording rejection broadcast program information matching the selected recording rejection broadcast program. It is stored in the data storage unit 50 together with the recording schedule. In particular, the recording rejection broadcast program setting menu includes a menu for setting whether to reject recording of an advertisement broadcast program. Therefore, when the commercial program is set as the recording rejection broadcast program, the commercial program is not recorded even during the recording of the broadcast program other than the recording rejection broadcast program, that is, the recording target program. Meanwhile, the user may request a bookmark setting for broadcast programs other than a recording rejection broadcast program, that is, a recording target program that needs to be skipped during subsequent playback, among the recording target programs. The bookmark setting information may be added to the information of the requested recording target program.

Subsequently, the controller 90 receives a broadcast signal through the channel tuning unit 10 to broadcast a broadcast program through the speaker 40 and the display unit 30 (306), which is included in the received broadcast signal. The program information is extracted, and it is determined whether or not it matches with the recording rejection broadcast program information stored in the data storage unit 50 (308).

If the result of the determination matches, the broadcast program included in the received broadcast signal is a recording rejection broadcast program, and therefore, the controller 90 does not store the broadcast program in the data storage unit 50, and the broadcast signal receiving process 306 Repeat).

If the result of the determination does not match, the broadcast program included in the received broadcast signal is not a recording rejection broadcast program. At this time, the controller 90 determines whether the broadcast program is a bookmarked broadcast program. (310). That is, the user can not only set a broadcast program not to record in the recording rejection broadcast program information setting process 304 as described above, but also skip after recording a recording target broadcast program for recording. You can set a bookmark to use the function. For example, a bookmark can be set for a recording target broadcast program that needs to be recorded as necessary but no playback is required due to a later change, using the same method as the recording rejection program information setting procedure. The controller 90 determines whether a bookmark is set for the recording target broadcast program.

If the bookmark is a broadcast program for which the bookmark is requested, the controller 90 adds bookmark information to a header portion of the broadcast program received from the broadcast station (312) and records the broadcast program in the data storage unit 50. (314). Meanwhile, when the user wants to play the recorded broadcast program, the user may skip the recording target broadcast program using the menu key of the user selector 70. That is, the user skips the broadcast program of the portion where the bookmark is set by selecting a skip execution menu using the menu key of the user selector 70 while playing and watching the recorded broadcast programs. You can move on.

If the bookmark is not the requested broadcast program as a result of the determination, the controller 90 records the broadcast program received from the broadcast station in the data storage unit 50 (314), so that the user can play and watch the broadcast program. can do.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
