10 and 11 are flowcharts of one embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, in the VCR, a mode reservation and direct execution are performed to reserve and execute a mode to be executed and an execution time and a post-execution operation mode through an OSD (ON SCREEN DISPLAY), and to execute any mode directly. It is about a method.

In general, the reservation in the VCR is reserved for the recording start time, recording end time, broadcasting channel and recording speed, and then only the recording function of recording the reserved broadcasting channel at the scheduled time is recorded. It is intended to perform only the operation.

Therefore, it is possible to reserve the operation mode other than the recording function. Whenever the user feels the need to change the operation mode, the user must press the function key to change the operation mode.

However, in the present invention, in addition to the reservation recording function, it is intended to provide the convenience of using the VCR by allowing a mode to be executed in the future, its execution time, and a later execution mode to be reserved through the OSD and directly executing any mode.

As described above in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention, which allows a mode to be executed through the OSD, a running time and a post-execution (NEXT) mode to be executed, and any mode can be executed directly in a menu screen state, will be described below. Same as

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a VCR. In the internal microcomputer 10 of the VCR, the display unit 1 is driven to display a current time and an operation state of the VCR, and a motor necessary for executing a mode that the user wants to execute. The drive signal is applied to the mechanism control block (2) and the protective sensor and the switch signal for reading the current mode are applied to the mechanism control block (2) and read. The serial-related block (3) includes OSD and PLL ( Phase Locked Loop) and digital signals are applied and the circuit control block 4 for operating the other VCR is controlled.

The recording block of the VCR is applied to a general VCR. In the present invention, the OTF (One Touch Function) key is added to the remote controller 5 and the key matrix 6 in the functional block diagram of the general VCR. By changing the internal program of 10), it reserves and executes the mode, execution time, and next execution mode through the OSD, and directly selects any mode in the OSD menu screen.

That is, the present invention performs a menu display process of displaying a program menu and an operation mode menu by checking an OTF key input, and performs a program setting menu display process of displaying a program setting menu by selecting a program menu in the menu display process. In the program setting menu display process, a reservation process for reserving an execution mode, an execution time, and a next operation mode after execution is performed, and an operation for performing an operation for operating the VCR according to the reservation contents of the reservation process is performed.

Here, selecting the operation mode menu in the menu display process causes the selected operation mode to be executed directly.

In the present invention, when the OTF key is first pressed, the microcomputer 10 recognizes this and displays the OTF menu screen as shown in FIG.

In this case, the OTF menu screen is applied to the serial-related block 3 by the microcomputer 10 and displayed on the screen through a known OSD IC.

In addition, the OTF menu shown in FIG. 2 is a function set arbitrarily, and functions other than the menu shown in the drawing may be added.

In this way, when the OTF menu is displayed on the screen by pressing the OTF key, the user selects the Program Menu by pressing the numeric key ＂1 우드 to reserve the execution mode, execution time, and post-execution mode. When the numeric key “1” is pressed in the OTF menu display state of FIG. 3, the program menu is displayed as shown in FIG. 3.

If the user wants to turn off the power by automatically rewinding the play mode after executing the play mode for 40 minutes, the numeric key indicating the play mode is referred to by referring to the OTF menu screen of FIG. 2 while the program menu of FIG. 3 is displayed. Press ＂to select the execution mode (play), then press the numeric key＂ 0 ＂＂ 4 ＂＂ 0 ＂in order to select the execution time (40 minutes), and then refer to the OTF menu screen at 2 degrees to automatically rewind the power off mode. Press the numeric key ＂7＂ to select the run mode (Auto Shut Off).

Then, as shown in Fig. 4, the play mode is displayed as execution mode, 40 minutes are displayed as the execution time, and the automatic shut off mode is displayed as the operation mode after execution. If there is no key input, the OSD characters shown in FIG. 4 are lost and the play mode is performed for 40 minutes, and then the rewind mode is automatically performed and the power is turned off.

Therefore, the user can press the OTF key to display the screen of FIG. 2 and press the # 1 key to display the program menu as shown in FIG. 3 to reserve the operation of the VCR.

On the other hand, if you press the # 5 key without pressing the # 1 key while the OTF menu screen of FIG. 2 is displayed, the Forward Picture Search mode is executed directly. Pressing ＂will turn the power off.

This operation of the present invention will be described in detail with a flowchart.

5 to 7 are the OTF key check routines, which check the key input and proceed to the next routine when there is no key input, and if there is a key input, check whether the OTF key input is approved and set the OTF flag (OTFFLG) in case of OTF key input. Then it exits to the OTF display routine (shown in FIG. 8, which will be described later) and checks if the OTF flag is set (OTF menu display state) when the OTF key is not input.

In other words, if a key input other than the OTF key is input but the OTF flag is not set (OTF menu is displayed), the process proceeds to the normal key check routine and the OTF flag is set (OTF menu is displayed). Check the program menu keystroke authorization.

If the key input while the OTF menu is displayed is the program menu key input, the program flag (PMFLG) is set (displayed as the program menu), and then the program is passed to the OTF display routine. Is checked (when the program menu is displayed) and the program flag is not set (when the program menu is not displayed) when the routine of FIG. 6 is executed and the program flag is set (the program menu is displayed). Is checked).

At this time, if the program flag is not set (when the program menu is not displayed), check the numeric key input as shown in Fig. 6, and if the numeric key is input, the input key data is saved to the save 2 register as direct execution mode data. After saving, move on to the next mode and if it is not a numeric key input, reset the OTF flag (OTFFLG <-0) and then go to the normal key check routine.

However, if there is a key input but not an OTF key input but a numeric flag input with the program flag set (program menu displayed), the entered key data is saved to the save 1 register as execution mode, execution time, and operation mode data after execution. After saving, go to the OTF display routine and if it is not a numeric key input, reset the OTF flag and program flag as shown in Figure 7, and then proceed to the normal key check routine.

For example, if the OTF key is input, the OTF menu screen of FIG. 2 is displayed, and if a number key other than program menu key # 1 is entered while the OTF menu screen is displayed (assuming # 2), save Stores the powder 'off' data corresponding to the 2nd key in the 2 register, and turns off the menu OTF menu if a numeric key is not entered.

However, if No.1 key is input while OTF menu is displayed, program menu screen of Fig. 3 is displayed and if numeric key is input in this state, it is saved in save 1 register as data about execution mode, execution time, and operation mode after execution. If there is input other than numeric key, program menu screen will disappear.

Therefore, in the OTF menu display state, the program menu can be selected to save the execution mode, the execution time, and the operation mode after execution to the save 1 register, and a function other than the program menu can be selected to save to the save 2 register.

8 and 9 are OTF display routines that check whether the OTF flag is set here, and if the flag is not set, move on to the next routine, and when the OTF plug is set, the OTF menu screen as shown in FIG. Will be displayed.

When the OTF flag is set and the OTF menu screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 2, it is checked whether the program flag is set. If is stored, the process proceeds to the corresponding mode execution routine for executing the corresponding mode. After the corresponding mode is executed, the data of the OTF flag and the save 2 register are cleared.

In other words, if the program menu is not set and there is data stored in the save 2 register, the power is executed by executing a 'power off' mode routine that can perform the data stored in the save 2 register (for example, the powder 'off' operation). 'Off'.

However, if the OTF flag is set but the program flag is not set, if there is no data in the save 2 register, it is checked whether a predetermined time has elapsed. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to the next routine. After clearing the OTF menu screen display of the figure, the OTF flag is reset to move to the next routine.

That is, when there is no input until a certain time elapses while the OTF menu screen of FIG. 2 is displayed, the OTF menu screen is 'off' and the OTF flag is reset.

On the other hand, if the flag is set in the OTF display routine and the program flag is set, the program menu screen as shown in Fig. 3 is displayed and it is checked whether or not the data is stored in the save 1 register. If data is stored in the save 1 register, the data of the save 1 register is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 4, and then it is checked whether a predetermined time has elapsed.

If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to the next routine. If the predetermined time has elapsed, the screen content of FIG. 4 is deleted and the routine is performed to perform a mode corresponding to the content stored in the save 1 register.

That is, if the program mode is displayed and the execution mode, execution time, and post operation mode are set and saved in the save 1 register, the operation is performed according to the data stored in the save 1 register.

When the contents shown in FIG. 4 are set through such a routine, the routines of FIGS. 10 and 11 are performed.

In other words, if the contents of Fig. 4 are set, the play mode is executed. If the program flag is not set, the program proceeds to the next routine. If the program flag is set, the time is set to 40 minutes. Check to continue playing after 40 minutes and rewind mode after 40 minutes.

In other words, if the contents shown in Fig. 4 are stored in the Save 1 register, the play mode is immediately performed. After checking the time, the play mode is performed for 40 minutes. When the play mode is performed for 40 minutes, the rewind mode is automatically performed. When the rewind mode is over, the powder is 'off'.

Therefore, the play operation for the next 40 minutes and the automatic rewind can be scheduled to perform the operation to be turned off.

Therefore, if the program flag is not set by going through the rewind mode as shown in FIG. 11 and the program flag is not set, go to the next routine. If the program flag is set, the rewind operation is not completed by checking if the rewind operation is completed. If not, the rewind operation is continued. If the rewind operation is completed, the OTF flag, the program flag, and the save 1 register are cleared, the power is turned off, and the operation is completed.

As described above, the present invention reserves and executes a mode to be executed in the future in the home VCR, and at the same time reserves and executes a mode to be executed thereafter, and can execute any available mode directly on the OSD menu screen. By doing so, it is effective to achieve convenience and multifunctional use of the VCR.
