The present invention relates to a method of controlling a display of a television, and in particular, a television (hereinafter referred to as a TV) used in connection with a video tape recorder (hereinafter referred to as a VTR) or a VCR video camera recorder (hereinafter referred to as a VCR) is referred to as a VTR or The present invention relates to a method for displaying according to data recorded in a VCR.

In general, TV programs such as soap operas and news are broadcasted at predetermined times, and viewers generally remember the time when a program they want to watch is broadcasted, and when that time, the channel is fixed to the channel where the desired program is broadcasted. To watch. However, when the viewer concentrates on other matters or watches a video tape program, it often happens that the broadcast program to be watched is not recognized even when it is started.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, when the broadcast program that the viewer wants to watch is received, the present invention stops the playing of the VTR while the VTR is playing, and causes the TV to automatically display the broadcast program. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for returning to a state immediately before switching to a reserved broadcast program when the display state of a broadcast program is completed and displaying the same.

In order to achieve the above object, a method of controlling a display of a reserved broadcast of a television broadcast signal used in connection with a video cassette recorder (VTR) according to the present invention is provided. A first step of inputting data regarding a start time and an end time and a channel; A second step of determining whether a predetermined time has elapsed through a timer and whether a start time of a broadcast program set through the first step has been reached; Determining whether the VTR is in a play mode or not when the start time of the broadcast program is reached; A fourth step of stopping a reproducing operation when the VTR is in a reproducing mode in the third step; A fifth step of switching and displaying a reception state so that a received broadcast channel becomes a channel input in the first step; And a sixth process of returning the display state of the TV to the channel state before the start time of the broadcast program when the broadcast program reaches the end time.

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

1 is a block diagram of a system capable of performing a reserved broadcast display method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the remote controller 10, the timer 20, the system controller 30, the servo stage 40, power supply It comprises a stage 50, a tuner stage 60, an audio process stage 70, a video process stage 80 and a TV 90.

In FIG. 1, the power supply of the TV 90 is configured to supply power when the power supply is supplied to the VTR even when external power is not supplied through its own power cord. The timer 20 is configured to count the passage of time even when power is not supplied from the outside, and provides the system controller 30 with data about time. The remote controller 10 is a tool for inputting information about a broadcast program that a user (or viewer) wants to watch as a means for inputting a command signal, and may be configured by replacing a panel attached to the VTR. Data input through the remote controller 10 is applied to the system controller 30, and stored in the memory inside the system controller 30, and performs the operation accordingly. The time-related data is input from the remote controller 10 to the system controller 30 via the timer 20. The tuner stage 60 performs a function of selecting a desired channel, that is, a broadcast on a desired frequency, from a signal received through an antenna (not shown). The power supply stage 50 is a part that performs all functions related to the power supply. When the power supply stage 50 performs an operation according to the reserved recording, the power supply unit starts to supply the power according to the reservation recording start time and then shuts off the power supply when the end time is reached. do. The servo end 40 is a part connected to the system controller 30 and the head is configured to perform a function such as regeneration, fast forward (FF), and REW (REWind) according to control data output from the system controller 30. Perform the function of driving.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a reserved broadcast signal according to an embodiment of the present invention, which will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

In FIG. 2, steps 101 and 102 are steps of inputting data related to a broadcast program that a viewer wants to watch by using the remote controller 10 shown in FIG. In particular, step 101 is a step in which a predetermined screen indicating a display reservation mode is displayed on a TV screen in response to a predetermined key indicating display reservation, and step 102 is a broadcast of data related to display reservation, that is, a viewer wants to watch. Enter the START TIME and CH of the program. In operation 102, an end time of the program may be further input. Step 103 is a step of determining whether the time data applied from the timer 20 and the start time of the broadcast program input through step 102 are the same. It is determined whether this is supplied or not. If power is supplied in step 104, the flow proceeds to step 106. In this case, the power supply of the VTR may be roughly classified into an EE (Electronic to Electronic) mode and a PLAY mode. In the EE mode, the VTR simply functions as a buffer, and a video signal tuned and adjusted in the VTR is applied to the TV 90. On the other hand, the PLAY mode reproduces a video signal recorded on a magnetic recording tape or the like and applies it to the TV 90. In the EE mode, operations such as FF and REW may be performed. Therefore, when the viewer wants to receive the broadcast, the VTR should be set to the EE mode. This setting is made by simply performing a STOP operation. That is, in step 106, when the operation such as FF, REW or the like is performed by performing a STOP operation, such operations are stopped and the VTR is set to a simple EE mode in which no operation is performed. On the other hand, when the power is "off" to the VTR in step 104, the power is "on" in step 105. Here, when the power supply of the VTR is "on", it is preferable that the power supply of the TV 90 is configured to be "on" at the same time. Step 107 is a step of transmitting information about the channel to the tuner stage 60, the tuner stage 60 is used to select and output the broadcast signal carried on the frequency of the channel.

3 is a flowchart for explaining another aspect of the reserved broadcast display method described in FIG.

Steps 201 to 204 are the same as steps 101 to 104 described with reference to FIG. In step 205, power is supplied to the VTR, and in step 206, the channel information input through the step 202 is transmitted to the tuner stage 60, so that the channel desired by the viewer to watch from the tuner stage 60 is transmitted. A step of outputting a corresponding broadcast signal. Therefore, the TV displays the broadcast desired by the viewer. Step 207 detects whether or not the end time of the broadcast program is reached. When the end time of the broadcast program is reached, the power of the VTR is “off” through step 208. On the other hand, step 209 is a step of determining whether or not the playback mode. In the playback mode, the process proceeds to step 210 and the playback operation is stopped (STOP) and the channel information is sent to the tuner stage 60 in step 211. Causes the desired broadcast to be displayed on the TV. Step 212 is a step of determining whether or not the end time of the broadcast program is reached. When the end time of the broadcast program is reached, the process proceeds to step 213 so that the VTR is switched to the playback mode of the original mode. This allows viewers to watch a video program they have not seen before after watching the broadcast. If it is determined in step 209 that the play mode is not in the play mode, the operation performed in step 214 is stopped to allow the VTR to be a simple mode, and the channel information is transmitted to the tuner stage 60 in step 215. As a result, the broadcast desired by the viewer is displayed on the TV.

Therefore, as described above, the present invention sets a broadcast program that a viewer wants to watch through a predetermined reservation process among TV programs broadcast at a predetermined time, and then automatically displays it on the TV when the time is reached. During this playback, the playback of the VTR is stopped and the reserved broadcast program is displayed on the TV. When the reserved broadcast program is completed, the status before the scheduled broadcast program is started is displayed, thereby increasing the convenience of the user (viewer). It has an effect to make.
