1258746 _Call No. 92113924 V. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for avoiding excessive use of a storage medium to record a secondary material, and more particularly to a personal video recording (Personal) Video Recorder's abbreviation (PVR), which avoids the use of storage media to record data and its methods. [Prior Art] With the development of computer technology, more and more products are combined with multimedia functions, and digital TV is the product that is gradually developing. One of the two, because digital TV is a TV system that uses digital technology from the process of shooting, production, transmission, and broadcast, etc., 苴=, main image and surround sound are all current TV systems. & == =, so the digital TV system will gradually replace the future in the future; And because the digital storage media capacity increases and the price y J^^t, PVR (Pers〇nal Vlde〇Record!; on digital TV. 9 times use----/ 9, G _ 15 is a storage capacity Difficult to use the hard V-disc, etc.), can be used to store the shadow-data media through the input device (for example, Lei Manjia R 廿~曰贝枓, only stored in the down.

1258746 V. The inventor often meets the excessive use of work. It is based on whether or not it has reached the media, and reduces the storage. [Inventor’s internal storage capacity, where the total storage capacity is the total amount, the recording resources used are The capacity setting recording device displays the usage status. And save the setting < In this case, avoid (2) Prompt a storage media Record data Operation status Lu self-recording capacity and then the media's capacity] The above knife is * storage capacity refers to the user's storage capacity to be recorded. The above-mentioned target module quantity and maximum amount are given to the user, so as to achieve the storage capacity setting, the capacity can be confirmed by the use sample.

The user is not under the H brother, the main problem; 2 the problem is due to the storage media, Ya will not actively tell the user that the current limit C is not! Note that the storage media records the record and records the damage or loss of c = Bay#, even with the fate. The invention will store the storage medium according to its total storage = large recording capacity and an emergency reserve capacity, and the storage upper limit capacity of the storage medium; the maximum capacity of the storage medium; and the emergency pre-injury: in addition to the record capacity After the remaining capacity of the data exceeds the maximum recording capacity, the storage exceeds the method using a detection module and a storage to complete the result of detecting and calculating the actual recording capacity by using the detection module, and transmitting the result through g Second, knowing that 'the user who knows the warning media of the current storage media to avoid over-recording the data is used to set a maximum recording capacity. The input device (for example, the TV remote control) is used to ensure the normal operation of the storage medium and Effective shipment exceeds storage limit capacity, and data loss occurs

The features and implementations of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. [Brief Description of the Invention] The present invention is described in the context of a personal video recorder (PVR) system. Please refer to the "figure i", which is a functional block diagram of the present invention, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The composition includes a central processing unit (1) (100) output module (1〇5), a storage medium (ι〇6), an input module (1 0 7) and a storage capacity setting module (1 〇 8 ). The central processing unit (100) is the core management module of the personal video recorder system that is responsible for operating the personal video recorder system. The central processing unit (1 〇Q) comprises: an image processing module (1 0 1 for processing image related data; a sound source processing module (丨0 2 ) for processing sound source related data; a recording mode) Group (1 〇 3 ) for recording input source or image data; a detection module (丨〇 4 ) for detecting and calculating the storage capacity setting module (丨〇8) and actual recording capacity Changing, and obtaining a current recording capacity, the current capacity is displayed to the user through the output module (105) and the output device, wherein the sensing module (丨〇4) can be completed by a function single chip. The module (1 〇 5 ) is also used to process the sound source and image data and output the result through the connected output devices (such as TV and Sigma 8). The storage medium (1 0 6 ) is used to store the recorded data. (107) 疋 Let the user input data or commands, the user can set the storage capacity setting module (丨〇8) through the input module (1 0 7), wherein the input module (1 0 7 ) can be a personal video recording Remote control. Finally, save Capacity setting module (1 square 8) is used to set the maximum recording capacity, wherein the storage capacity setting module (108) may be a function of a single wafer is completed, via the following examples

Case No. 92133924 V. INSTRUCTIONS (4) Understand the meaning of the storage capacity setting module (1 〇 8). According to the actual media, but in the total storage of large records, this will be the largest record of the split will be 5 records of the total storage of this (assuming there is storage capacity, the largest record capacity is the display of the video recorder urgent backup Capacity, to store more than the loss or loss of the material, the current record capacity is the root amount and total storage capacity for calculation, so assume that the storage capacity is 80 GB, and 20 of them have been recorded using the calculation 1 0 〇%) The current recording capacity is 25%. In the case of the capacity setting module, it is assumed that the storage medium is 80GB, and the storage capacity setting module sets 5〇GB as the most so the remaining 30 GB. As a police backup capacity. The concept of recording capacity, the personal video recorder system will be based on the current record capacity, assuming the maximum of 50 GB, and the actual recording capacity is 2 〇 GB, the output capacity before the output is 40%. This method allows the user to properly manage the recording capacity of the storage medium and utilize the generated data to avoid the problem of over-recording data when the actual recording capacity exceeds the maximum recording capacity. The tea photo "Fig. 2" is the operation and treatment of the detection module of the present invention. After the system starts to operate (step 2〇〇), the detection module will retrieve the settings on the volume setting module (step 20丨), where the setting is the maximum recording capacity set by the ff user; The actual recording capacity debt measurement module will determine the actual recording capacity (step 2〇2); next, the ~ testing group will calculate the actual recording capacity and the maximum recording capacity (step 2 〇Λ, the leaf calculation method can refer to the following: "' Seven.

V. Description of the invention (5) - Obtain a new current recording capacity (Step 2 〇4 V, 10 detection modules will transmit the new current recording capacity to the output module =, the 2 0 5 ), when the output mode The group receives the new current recording capacity, and can display the value (step 2 0 6 ), and can receive or record each new 'dry' through the output device. The important steps of the invention are that the pre-test module continuously checks 2, the snippet recording capacity and the storage capacity setting module, and any changes in the actual storage medium, and then step 207); if repeated Flow, but if the detection date returns to step 2 0 1, and there is any change, the detection mode returns ς = the storage capacity setting module is not 2〇8).初始 mouth to 匕 initial standby mode (step through the detection module is not measured, and the current recording capacity # ^ and calculate the current recording status of the storage media record, the error is output by the output device to remind the use of the media The purpose of recording the data. To warn the user to avoid overuse of the storage. Although the present invention was not intended to limit the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention is as described above, but the spirit and scope of the present invention are familiar to those skilled in the art. Without departing from the patent protection of the present invention, there may be: a few modifications and refinements, whichever is defined by the scope.
