Definitions

• the invention relates to a method of transmitting from a radio transmitter, in addition to the information itself, extra signals for remote control of receivers and/or associated equipment in order to effect a recording of the information on an information carrier.
• An apparatus is known from Swedish Patent 378.494 which in a search sweep of a high frequency band selects a radio signal having a special marking from among a number of other radio signals.
• the object of the invention is to enable one automatically to record selected programs from a broadcaster, for example, a radio program or a television program, on the receiver side.
• the radio transmitter is a broadcaster whose announced programs are provided with markings corresponding to the transmitted control signal in coded form
• the receiver is provided with equipment capable of being programmed which, in conformity with the coded control signals received in accordance with its programming, starts and stops the recording of the desired information, which has been provided with coded control signals by the broadcaster.
• the individual programs in the broadcaster's announced program schedule can be provided with markings, for example, a number, and at the beginning of the program the broadcaster transmits a control signal in coded form corresponding to this program's marking.
• markings for example, a number
• the listener or viewer can program his equipment to record the programs he desires in accordance with the associated markings in the announced program, such that when the associated coded control signal is received, a tape recorder or video recorder which is connected with the receiver is automatically started, and when the program ends, the broadcaster transmits a coded termination signal which stops the recording.
• the broadcaster can transmit a coded control signal which prohibits recording on the receiver side.
• the program selector equipment can be programmed to arrange for the coded control signals, in a manner known per se, to be recorded on the information carrier together with the information, such that a desired program can at any time be reproduced from the recording carrier on the receiver side by adjusting the equipment for selection of the desired program.
• the program selector equipment can be formed such that it can be utilized in connection with already-available receivers and recording apparatus, for example, a tape recorder or a videotape recorder.
