Abstract

A recording/reproduction device (100) dubs program data stored in an HD (171), for example, to a DVD (181) by using dubbing control means of a CPU (240). When recording/reproduction display means of the CPU (240) recognizes an input operation to perform a process other than dubbing during dubbing, it performs the process other than dubbing accordingly. When power supply control means of the CPU (240) recognizes that the dubbing is complete, it judges whether a process other than dubbing is in progress. When the power supply control means judges that no process other than dubbing is in progress, it outputs supply interrupt information to request for stop of power supply to power supply means (230). On the other hand, if the power supply control means judges that a process other than dubbing is in progress, it outputs supply continuation information to request for continuation of power supply to the power supply means (230).

Technical field

The present invention relates to a processing control device that controls power supply, a power supply control device, a processing control method, a program thereof, and a recording medium on which the program is recorded.

Background art

Conventionally, for example, video data recorded on various recording media such as a magnetic tape such as a video tape, a magnetic disk such as an HD (Hard Disk), an optical disk such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), and a magneto-optical disk. There is known a recording apparatus or a recording / reproducing system having a so-called dubbing function, which is a function of re-recording the same on various other recording media (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0003] The one described in Patent Document 1 includes a television receiver serving as an AV center, four VTRs (Video Tape Recorders), and the like. When dubbing, the AV center continues to send a command “Tell me when it comes to media end” to both the VTR on the recording side and the VTR on the playback side at appropriate intervals. Then, when one of the recording side VTR and the playback side VTR becomes the media end, the recording side VTR or the playback side VTR returns information indicating that the media end has been reached to the AV center. When the AV center receives the information that "the media end has been reached" on one of the VTRs, it stops the other VTR and performs an all-power-off to stop all AV equipment.

Further, the recording / reproducing display means 242 also obtains the processing operation signal from the input unit, and recognizes the setting input for reproducing the program data of the DV D181, for example. Then, DVD read request information for requesting the output of the program data is generated. Next, the DVD read request information is appropriately converted into a DVD read signal Syd and output to the DVD drive 180. Further, the recording / reproducing display unit 242 appropriately generates a processing start signal and outputs the signal to the power supply control unit 245. Thereafter, the recording / reproducing display means 242 appropriately obtains the DVD read data signal Sdd from the DVD drive 180. Then, the video data, which is the program data of the DVD read data signal Sdd, is appropriately converted into video data in the above-described format or the like. Thereafter, the video data is appropriately converted into an output video signal Sec and output to the video output terminal 201.

Further, the recording / reproducing / displaying means 242 appropriately acquires a parallel processing confirmation signal to be described later from the power supply control means 245. Then, based on this parallel processing confirmation signal, it recognizes a request to output information on the processing status of the dubbing parallel processing to the power supply control means 245. Thereafter, the recording / reproducing display means 242 generates a parallel processing status signal which also functions as a processing execution signal regarding whether or not the dubbing parallel processing is ongoing. Then, the recording / reproducing display means 242 appropriately outputs the parallel processing status signal to the power supply control means 245.

[0042] Further, the recording / reproducing display means 242 records the TV program of an arbitrary channel, for example, on the HD 171 or the DVD 181 based on the setting of the recording reservation!

Thereafter, the recording / reproducing display means 242 appropriately obtains the video data of the selected video signal Ses from the channel selection section 120, and

Voice Acquires audio data of the input digital audio signal Sdo from the AZD converter 130 as appropriate. Then, HD recording request information requesting that the program data and the like be stored in, for example, the HD 171 is generated. Thereafter, the recording / reproducing / displaying means 242 appropriately converts program data, HD recording request information, and the like into an HD recording signal Smh and outputs the signal to the HD drive 170. As a result, in the HD drive 170, the program data is stored in the HD 171 based on the HD recording signal Smh, and the program data of the TV program reserved for recording is recorded in the HD 171.

And The end start timer 243 outputs time information relating to the measured elapsed time to the timer control means 246 as appropriate.

The parallel start timer 244 has the same configuration as the end start timer 243. The parallel start timer 244 is controlled by the timer control means 246, and measures the elapsed time after the dubbing parallel processing is performed. Then, the parallel activation timer 244 outputs time information on the measured elapsed time to the timer control means 246 as appropriate.

The power supply control means 245 appropriately controls the operation of the timer control means 246 based on each signal from each means 241, 242. Further, based on each signal from the input unit and each means 241, 242, 246, the operation of the power supply means 230 is appropriately controlled. Specifically, the power supply control unit 245 appropriately obtains an error end signal or a normal end signal from the dubbing control unit 241. Thereafter, based on the obtained signal, it is recognized that dubbing has been completed. If an error end signal has been obtained, it is recognized that dubbing has ended in an error. Next, the power supply control means 245 generates supply continuation information requesting continuation of power supply to the recording / reproducing apparatus 100. Then, this supply continuation information is appropriately converted into a supply continuation signal Ske, and output to power supply means 230.

[0047] In addition, when the power supply control unit 245 has obtained the normal end signal, it recognizes that the dubbing has ended normally. Next, the power supply control unit 245 generates a parallel processing confirmation signal requesting output of information on the processing status of the dubbing parallel processing. Then, this parallel processing confirmation signal is output to the recording / reproducing display means 242 as appropriate. Thereafter, the power supply control unit 245 appropriately acquires the parallel processing status signal from the recording / reproducing display unit 242. Then, based on the parallel processing status signal, it is determined whether or not the power is in the state where the dubbing parallel processing is continuing. For example, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the screen display processing of an arbitrary channel that has been performed in parallel with the dubbing is being continued. Then, when it is determined that the dubbing parallel processing is continuing, the supply continuation signal Ske is output to the power supply means 230 as appropriate.

On the other hand, when the power supply control means 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is not ongoing, the power supply control means 245 generates an end timing request signal requesting that the end start timer 243 start timing. Then, it outputs this end timekeeping request signal to the timer control means 246 as appropriate. this Thereafter, the power supply control means 245 appropriately obtains an end time measurement completion signal described later from the timer control means 246.

Then, the supply interruption information is appropriately converted into a supply interruption signal Scy and output to the power supply means 230 as appropriate.

[0049] Also, the power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the processing start signal has been acquired from the recording / reproducing display means 242 before the output of the end timing request signal and the acquisition of the end timing complete signal. While the end activation timer 243 is counting, it is appropriately determined whether or not an input operation for executing a process other than dubbing has been performed. Then, when it is determined that the input operation has been performed, an end time interruption signal requesting that the time counting by the end activation timer 243 be interrupted is generated. Next, the end time interruption signal is output to the timer control means 246. Thereafter, the power supply control unit 245 appropriately obtains an end suspension completion signal described later from the timer control unit 246. Next, based on this termination interruption completion signal, it is recognized that the timing of the termination activation timer 243 has been suspended. Thereafter, the power supply control means 245 outputs the supply continuation signal S

[0050] Further, the power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the power for which the recording reservation has been set is between the time when the end timekeeping request signal is output and the force is obtained until the end timekeeping completion signal is obtained. Then, when it is determined that the recording reservation has been set, an end timing interruption signal is output to the timer control means 246. Thereafter, when the power supply control unit 245 obtains the end interruption completion signal from the timer control unit 246, it outputs a supply continuation signal Ske to the power supply unit 230 as appropriate.

[0051] Further, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the cancel end signal has been acquired from the dubbing control unit 241 before acquiring the error end signal or the normal end signal from the dubbing control unit 241. It is determined whether or not an input operation for ending the dubbing has been performed. Then, when it is determined that an input operation for terminating the cancellation is performed, a supply continuation signal Ske is output to the power supply means 230 as appropriate. Further, the power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the power supply control means 245 has obtained the processing start signal from the recording / reproduction display means 242 before obtaining the error end signal or the normal end signal from the dubbing control means 241. Then, it is determined whether or not an input operation to perform the dubbing parallel processing has been performed. When it is determined that the input operation has been performed, the parallel start timer 244 generates a parallel timing request signal requesting that the timing be started. Then, it outputs this parallel timing request signal to the timer control means 246 as appropriate. Thereafter, the power supply control unit 245 appropriately obtains a parallel timing completion signal described later from the timer control unit 246. Next, based on the parallel clock completion signal, it is recognized that the parallel activation timer 244 has clocked m minutes of the clock setting time, which is a predetermined time. Thereafter, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether dubbing has been completed. When it is determined that the dubbing has been completed, it is determined whether or not the dubbing has been completed with an error. Thereafter, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that dubbing has ended in an error, the power supply control unit 245 outputs a supply continuation signal Ske to the power supply unit 230 as appropriate. On the other hand, when it is determined that the dubbing has been completed normally, the above-described processing is performed to determine whether or not the force for which the dubbing parallel processing is ongoing.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the dubbing parallel processing is not ongoing, the supply interruption signal Scy is output to the power supply means 230 as appropriate.

[0053] Then, the power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the power supply control means 245 has acquired the processing start signal from the recording / reproduction display means 242 between the time when the parallel timing request signal is output and the time when the parallel timing completion signal is acquired. That is, it is appropriately determined whether or not an input operation for performing a process other than dubbing has been performed while the parallel start timer 244 is counting. Then, when it is determined that the input operation has been performed, a reset request signal requesting that the timing of the parallel start timer 244 be reset and the timing be restarted is generated. Thereafter, this reset request signal is output to the timer control means 246 as appropriate.

Further, power supply control means 245 determines whether or not an input operation for canceling the dubbing has been performed while the parallel start timer 244 is counting. If it is determined that the input operation for canceling the cancellation has been performed, the parallel timing interrupt signal is set to the timer system. Output to control means 246. Thereafter, when the power supply control unit 245 obtains the parallel interruption completion signal from the timer control unit 246, it outputs a supply continuation signal Ske to the power supply unit 230 as appropriate.

Further, the power supply control unit 245 appropriately obtains a power supply start signal from the input unit, starts a power supply to the recording / reproducing device 100, and turns on the power of the recording / reproducing device 100. Recognize. Then, it generates on-request information requesting that the power of the recording / reproducing device 100 be turned on. Thereafter, the power-on request information is appropriately converted into the power-on signal Suo and output to the power supply means 230. Further, the power supply control unit 245 appropriately obtains a power supply end signal from the input unit, and recognizes a setting input for terminating the power supply to the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 and turning off the power of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100. . Then, it generates off request information requesting that the power of the recording / reproducing device 100 be turned off. After that, this off request information is appropriately converted into a power-off signal Suf and output to the power supply means 230.

[0056] The timer control means 246 is controlled by the power supply control means 245, and appropriately controls the operations of the end start timer 243 and the parallel start timer 244. Specifically, the timer control unit 246 appropriately obtains the end timekeeping request signal from the power supply control unit 245. Then, based on the end time measurement request signal, the end start timer 243 is reset to start the force. Thereafter, the timer control means 246 appropriately obtains time information from the end activation timer 243, and appropriately determines whether or not n minutes of the time setting time have been measured. Then, when it is determined that n minutes have been measured, the end start timer 243 ends the time measurement. Thereafter, the timer control means 246 generates an end timekeeping completion signal indicating that the time measurement for n minutes has ended. Then, the end timing completion signal is output to the power supply control means 245 as appropriate. In addition, the timer control means 246 appropriately obtains the end timing interruption signal from the power supply control means 245. Then, the timer of the end start timer 243 is interrupted based on the end time interruption signal. After that, the timer control means 246 generates an end interruption completion signal indicating that the timer of the end start timer 243 has been interrupted. Then, the termination interruption completion signal is appropriately output to the power supply control means 245.

Further, the timer control means 246 appropriately obtains the parallel timing request signal from the power supply control means 245. Then, based on the parallel timing request signal, the parallel start timer 244 is reset to start the power. After this, the timer control means 246 The interim information is appropriately acquired, and it is appropriately determined whether or not the m minutes of the time setting time have been measured. Then, if it is determined that m minutes have been measured, the parallel start timer 244 ends the time measurement. Thereafter, the timer control means 246 generates a parallel clock completion signal indicating that the clocking for m has been completed. Then, it outputs this parallel timing completion signal to the power supply control means 245 as appropriate. Further, the timer control means 246 appropriately obtains the parallel timing interruption signal from the power supply control means 245. Then, the timer of the parallel start timer 244 is interrupted based on the parallel timer interrupt signal. After that, the timer control means 246 generates a parallel interruption completion signal indicating that the timing of the parallel activation timer 244 has been interrupted. Then, this parallel interruption completion signal is output to the power supply control means 245. Further, the timer control unit 246 appropriately obtains a reset request signal from the power supply control unit 245. Then, based on the reset request signal, the timer of the parallel start timer 244 is reset, and the timer is started again.

[Operation of Recording / Reproducing Apparatus]

Next, as an operation of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100, a power supply process during dubbing will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the power supply process at the time of dubbing the program data stored in the HD 171 to the DVD 181 will be described as an example.

First, the recording / reproducing device 100 recognizes an input operation to start dubbing by the user with the dubbing control unit 241 of the CPU 240 after the power is supplied. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the dubbing control means 241 starts dubbing the program data stored in the HD 171 to the DVD 181 based on this input operation (step S101). Thereafter, the CPU 240 uses the power supply control unit 245 to determine whether or not the dubbing control unit 241 or the recording / reproducing display unit 242 has recognized the input operation (step S102).

In step S102, when determining that the input operation has been recognized, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether the input operation is a cancel end operation for canceling dubbing. (Step S103). Then, in this step S103, when determining that the input operation is the cancel end operation, the power supply control unit 245 outputs the supply continuation information to the power supply unit 230. Further, the dubbing control means 241 cancels the dubbing based on the canceling operation (step S104). Thereafter, when the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply continuation information, the power supply unit 230 turns off the power supply control unit 245. It is determined whether or not the request information has been acquired, that is, whether or not the power supply control unit 245 has recognized a power-off operation for turning off the power of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 (step S105). If it is determined in step S105 that the power supply means 230 has not recognized the power-off operation, the processing in step S105 is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S105 that the power-off operation has been recognized, the power of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 is immediately turned off (step S106). Then, the power supply process at the time of dubbing ends.

On the other hand, in step S103, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the input operation is not the cancel end operation, for example, when it determines that the input operation is reproduction of another TV program or the like of the HD171, The parallel timing request signal is output to the timer control means 246. Upon acquiring the parallel timekeeping request signal, the timer control means 246 resets the parallel activation timer 244 to activate the force, and performs the dubbing parallel processing to start measuring the elapsed time of the force (step S107). Further, the recording / reproducing display means 242 starts reproduction of another television program such as HD171 as a dubbing parallel process based on the input operation. Thereafter, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether the dubbing control unit 241 or the recording / reproducing display unit 242 recognizes a new input operation (Step S108).

[0062] In step S108, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that a new input operation has been recognized, the power supply control unit 245 performs the same processing as in step S103, and the input operation is a cancel end operation. It is determined whether or not (step S109). Then, in step S109, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the input operation is not the cancel end operation, it outputs a reset request signal to the timer control unit 246. Upon acquiring the reset request signal, the timer control means 246 returns to step S107, resets the time counting of the parallel activation timer 244, and restarts the time counting. Further, the recording / reproducing display means 242 performs processing other than the termination of dubbing cancellation, for example, fast-forward processing of the reproduced television program, based on the input operation. On the other hand, in step S109, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the input operation is a cancel end operation, the power supply control unit 245 outputs a parallel timing interruption signal to the timer control unit 246. When the timer control unit 246 acquires the parallel timer interrupt signal, the timer control unit 246 interrupts the timer of the parallel start timer 244 (step S110). Then, the timer control means 246 outputs a parallel interruption completion signal to the power supply control means 245. Power supply control means 245 Upon obtaining the parallel interruption completion signal, the power supply continuation information is output to the power supply means 230. Then, the dubbing control means 241 proceeds to step S104 based on the cancel end operation, and ends the dubbing.

On the other hand, in step S108, when the power supply control unit 245 recognizes the new input operation and determines that the input operation has not been performed, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the power supply control unit 245 has acquired the parallel timing completion signal from the timer control unit 246. That is, it is determined whether or not the force has been measured by the parallel start timer 244 for m minutes (step Slll). In step SI11, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the parallel activation timer 244 has not counted m minutes, the process returns to step S108. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S111 that m minutes have been counted, it is determined whether or not the dubbing has already been completed (step S112). In step S112, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that dubbing has not been completed, the process returns to step S102. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S112 that dubbing has already been completed, it is determined whether or not the dubbing has ended in an error (step S113). In this step SI13, when the power supply control means 245 determines that dubbing has ended in error, it outputs supply continuation information to the power supply means 230. After that, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply continuation information, and performs the process of step S105. On the other hand, in step S113, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that dubbing has been completed normally, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not dubbing parallel processing is continuing (step S114). In this step S114, when the power supply control means 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is not ongoing, it outputs supply interruption information to the power supply means 230. After that, the power supply unit 230 acquires the information of the interruption of the supply, and performs the process of step S106. On the other hand, in step S114, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is ongoing, the power supply control unit 245 outputs supply continuation information to the power supply unit 230. Thereafter, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply continuation information, and performs the process of step S105.

[0064] In step S102, when determining that the input operation has not been recognized, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the dubbing is completed (step S115). In this step S115, when the power supply control means 245 determines that dubbing has not been completed, the process returns to step S102. On the other hand, in step S115, dubbing has been completed. If it is determined that the dubbing is completed, the same processing as in step SI13 is performed, and it is determined whether dubbing is terminated with an error (step S116). In this step S116, the power supply control means 245 outputs the supply continuation information to the power supply means 230 when it is determined that the processing has ended with an error. After that, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply continuation information, and performs the process of step S105. On the other hand, in step S116, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that dubbing has been completed normally, it performs the same processing as step S114 to determine whether or not dubbing parallel processing is continuing (step S116). S117). For example, it is determined whether or not the reproduction of another TV program of the HD 171 is ongoing.

In step S117, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is continuing, it outputs supply continuation information to the power supply unit 230. Thereafter, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply continuation information, and performs the process of step S105. On the other hand, in step S117, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is not being continued, the power supply control unit 245 outputs an end timing request signal to the timer control unit 246. Upon acquiring the end timing request signal, the timer control means 246 resets the end start timer 243 to start the force, and starts counting the elapsed time after the end of dubbing (step S118). . Then, the power supply control unit 245 performs the same processing as in step S108, and determines whether the dubbing control unit 241 or the recording / reproducing display unit 242 has recognized a new input operation (step S119). .

In step S119, when determining that a new input operation has been recognized, the power supply control unit 245 outputs an end timing interruption signal to the timer control unit 246. When the timer control means 246 obtains the end timekeeping interrupt signal, the timer control means 246 interrupts the timekeeping of the end start timer 243 (step S120). Then, the timer control means 246 outputs an end suspension completion signal to the power supply control means 245. When the power supply control unit 245 obtains the termination interruption completion signal, it outputs supply continuation information to the power supply unit 230. Then, the recording / reproducing / displaying means 242 performs various processes based on the input operation. Further, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply continuation information, and performs the process of step S105.

On the other hand, in step S119, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that a new input operation has not been recognized, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the power for which a recording reservation is set is present (step S119). S121). In step S121, when determining that the recording reservation is set, the power supply control unit 245 outputs an end timing interruption signal to the timer control unit 246. When the timer control unit 246 acquires the end timer interrupt signal, the timer control unit 246 interrupts the timer of the end start timer 243 (step S122). Then, the CPU 240 makes a recording reservation by the recording / reproducing display means 242 (step S123). After that, the CPU 240 causes the power supply means 230 to appropriately execute the process of step S105. On the other hand, in step S121, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the recording reservation has not been set, the power supply control unit 245 obtains the end time-out completion signal from the timer control unit 246, that is, the end start timer 243 sets the end start timer 243 to n minutes. It is determined whether or not the force has been measured (step S124). In step S124, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the end activation timer 243 has not counted n minutes, the process returns to step S119. On the other hand, in step S124, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that n minutes have been measured, the power supply control unit 245 outputs supply interruption information to the power supply unit 230 as appropriate. After that, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply interruption information and performs the process of step S106. As described above, in the above embodiment, the recording / reproducing device 100 sends the duplication control unit 241 of the CPU 240 For example, the program data of HD171 is dubbed to DVD181. Then, when recognizing an input operation for performing a dubbing parallel process, which is a process other than dubbing, during dubbing, the recording / reproducing display means 242 of the CPU 240 appropriately performs the dubbing parallel process. Thereafter, when recognizing that the dubbing has been completed, the power supply control means 245 of the CPU 240 appropriately acquires a parallel processing status signal from the recording / reproducing display means 242. Next, based on the parallel processing status signal, it is determined whether or not the dubbing parallel processing is ongoing. Then, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is not ongoing, it outputs supply interruption information to the power supply unit 230. On the other hand, when it is determined that the dubbing parallel processing is continuing, the supply continuation information is output to the power supply means 230. When the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply interruption information from the power supply control unit 245, the power supply unit 230 interrupts the power supply to the recording / reproducing device 100 and immediately turns off the power of the recording / reproducing device 100. On the other hand, when the supply continuation information is obtained from the power supply control unit 245, the power supply to the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 is continued and the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 is operated until the power-off operation is recognized. Do not turn off 00.

[0069] For this reason, when dubbing is completed, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 performs this dubbing in parallel with the dubbing process. For example, if the reproduction process of another TV program such as HD171 is ongoing, Power supply can be continued until the power off operation is recognized. Therefore, even if the user notices that dubbing has been completed during playback of the HD171, for example, the power is kept on, so the power is turned off and playback is performed contrary to will! Viewing of TV programs etc. is not hindered. In addition, when the dubbing is completed, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 immediately interrupts the power supply without recognizing the input operation if, for example, the reproduction process of the HD171, which was performed in parallel with the dubbing, has also been completed. it can. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can be turned off even when a user is not in the vicinity, and power consumption can be reduced. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can appropriately supply power.

[0070] The power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the force at which dubbing ended with an error. Then, when it is determined that the error has ended, the supply continuation information is output to the power supply means 230. Therefore, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can keep the power-on state even after the dubbing ends with an error until the power-off operation is recognized. Therefore, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 keeps the power on even after the error ends, so that, for example, a user returning to the vicinity of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 after the error ends can easily recognize that the dubbing has ended in the error. it can. Therefore, the convenience of the recording / reproducing device 100 can be improved.

[0071] The power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the dubbing parallel processing is continuing after the end of the dubbing. Then, when it is determined that the dubbing parallel processing is not being continued, an end time request signal is output to the timer control means 246, and the end start timer 243 starts to count n minutes. Thereafter, the power supply control means 245 determines, during the time counting by the end start timer 243, for example, whether or not a force that has acquired the processing start signal from the recording / reproduction display means 242, that is, whether or not a new input operation has been recognized. I do. Then, when it is determined that a new input operation has been recognized during the clocking, an end timer interrupting signal is output to the timer control means 246, and the timer of the end start timer 243 is interrupted. Thereafter, the supply continuation information is output to the power supply means 230. On the other hand, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the time measurement for n has been completed without recognizing a new input operation, the power supply control unit 245 outputs the supply interruption information to the power supply unit 230. To do.

[0072] For this reason, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can continue the power-on state for n minutes even when the dubbing parallel processing is terminated after the dubbing is terminated. If the input operation is recognized during the n minutes, the power-on state can be continued even after the elapse of the n minutes until the power-off operation is recognized. Therefore, even if the user is away from the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 when the dubbing and the dubbing parallel processing are completed, for example, the user can perform recording / reproducing without performing an input operation of turning on the power if the user returns within n minutes. The device 100 can be operated. Further, even if the user returns during n minutes, the power of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can be turned off after elapse of n minutes, and power consumption can be reduced. Therefore, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can supply power more appropriately.

The power supply control means 245 determines whether or not a processing start signal has been acquired from the recording / reproducing display means 242 during dubbing, ie, whether or not the recording / reproducing displaying means 242 has recognized an input operation. Then, when it is determined that the input operation has been recognized during the dubbing, a parallel timing request signal is output to the timer control means 246, and the parallel start timer 244 starts counting time for m. Thereafter, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the time measurement for m minutes has been completed without recognizing a new input operation, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether or not the dubbing is completed. Then, when it is determined that the dubbing has been completed, the supply interruption information is output to the power supply means 230. On the other hand, if it is determined that dubbing has not been completed, supply interruption information is not output to power supply means 230. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can appropriately turn off the power after m minutes have elapsed from the time when the input operation was recognized during dubbing. Therefore, for example, if the power of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 has been separated for a long time after the user performs an input operation, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 turns off the power based on the elapsed time at the time when the dubbing is completed. The power can be turned off at an earlier timing as appropriate as compared with the configuration in which the power supply is turned off. Therefore, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can appropriately reduce power consumption, and can supply power more appropriately.

[0074] The power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the power of acquiring the processing start signal from the recording / reproducing display means 242 during the counting by the parallel activation timer 244, that is, whether or not a new input operation has been recognized. . If it is determined that a new input operation has been recognized during the timekeeping, The timer request signal is output to the timer control means 246. Then, the timing of the parallel start timer 244 is reset to restart the timing of the force. Therefore, if the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 recognizes an input operation a plurality of times during dubbing, it can appropriately turn off the power after elapse of m minutes from the time when the last input operation was recognized. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 has a configuration in which, even when the user performs a plurality of input operations for a long time, the power is turned off based on the elapsed time at the moment when the first input operation is recognized, for example. There is no danger of turning off the power against the user's will. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can supply power more appropriately.

[0075] The processing control device and the power supply control device of the present invention can be used, for example, as a recording / reproducing device capable of reproducing other program data stored in HD171 while dubbing program data stored in HD171 to DVD181. Applied to 100. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly convenient recording / reproducing apparatus 100 capable of appropriately supplying power.

[Modification of Embodiment]

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes the following modifications as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.

[0077] That is, for example, the power supply control unit 245 is provided with a function of determining whether or not the power has ended in an error due to dubbing. However, the power supply control unit 245 may be provided without such a function. . With such a configuration, the processing in step S113 and step S116 can be omitted. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can more quickly perform the power supply process during dubbing.

The configuration in which the power supply control means 245 is provided with a function of determining whether or not the dubbing parallel processing is continuing at the end of dubbing and appropriately controlling the end start timer 243 has been described. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the following processing is performed without providing a simple function. That is, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is not ongoing in step S117, the power supply control unit 245 performs the processing of step S121. Then, in step S121, when it is determined that the recording reservation is set, the process of step S123 is performed, and when it is determined that the recording reservation is not set, the process of step S106 is performed. And so on. According to such a configuration, step S 118 Alternatively, the processing of S120, S122, and SI 24 can be omitted. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can more quickly perform the power supply process during dubbing. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the CPU 240 with the end activation timer 243, the configuration of the CPU 240 can be simplified. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the power supply control means 245 with a function of controlling the end start timer 243, the configuration of the power supply control means 245 can be simplified. Therefore, the cost of the recording / reproducing device 100 can be reduced.

The power supply control means 245 is provided with a function of judging whether or not the input operation has been performed during dubbing and appropriately controlling the parallel start timer 244 as described above. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the following processing is performed without providing a function. That is, the configuration may be such that the power supply control unit 245 executes the process of step S102 when it is determined in step S103 that the input operation is not the cancel end operation. According to such a configuration, the processing of steps S107 to S114 can be omitted. Therefore, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can more quickly perform the power supply process during dubbing. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the parallel activation timer 244 in the CPU 240, the configuration of the CPU 240 can be simplified. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the power supply control means 245 with a function of controlling the parallel start timer 244, the configuration of the power supply control means 245 can be simplified. Therefore, the cost of the recording / reproducing device 100 can be reduced.

A configuration in which the power supply control means 245 has a function of judging whether or not a force that has recognized a new input operation during counting by the parallel start timer 244 and resetting and restarting the count of the parallel start timer 244 as appropriate. However, a configuration may be adopted in which the following processing is executed without providing such a function. That is, the power supply control unit 245 may be configured to execute the processing of step S108 when it is determined in step S109 that the input operation is not the cancel end operation. With such a configuration, it is not necessary to provide the power supply control unit 245 with a function of resetting and restarting the timing of the parallel activation timer 244, so that the configuration of the power supply control unit 245 can be simplified. Therefore, the cost of the recording and reproducing apparatus 100 can be reduced.

For example, the following configuration may be used. That is, the CPU 240 obtains a time setting signal corresponding to an input operation to set n or m minutes of the time setting time to an arbitrary time. It is also possible to provide a time setting signal acquiring means (not shown) and a time setting means (not shown) for setting n or m of the time setting time to an arbitrary time based on the time setting request signal. With such a configuration, the user can appropriately determine the time from when the dubbing is completed or after the input operation is performed to when the power supply is interrupted. Therefore, the convenience of the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 can be further improved.

For example, the following configuration may be adopted. That is, the CPU 240 of the recording / reproducing device 100 is provided with an automatic time setting means (not shown). Further, the parallel start timer 244 functions as a processing interval timer of the present invention. Further, the timer control means 246 functions as the interval time recognition means of the present invention. That is, when the timer control means 246 recognizes a new input operation during the time counting by the parallel start timer 244, the parallel start timer 244 measures the time and recognizes the time as the interval of the input operation related to the dubbing parallel processing. Then, a function of storing the input operation interval in, for example, the memory 160 is provided. Then, for example, a configuration for performing the processing shown in FIG. 4 may be adopted. In the case of such a configuration, the parallel start timer 244 and the timer control means 246 constitute the processing interval recognition means of the present invention.

In such a configuration, after the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 performs the processing of step S103 in the power supply control means 245 of the CPU 240, the automatic time setting means sets the past dubbing stored in the memory 160, for example. Recognize the interval between input operations related to parallel processing (step S201). Thereafter, the timer setting time t, which is a predetermined time of the end start timer 243, is reset based on the recognized input operation interval (step S202). Here, as a method of resetting the time setting time t of the end activation timer 243, for example, an average value or a maximum value of the recognized input operation intervals, or a time obtained by adding an arbitrary time to the maximum value is calculated. Then, for example, a method of storing the calculated time as the time setting time t of the end start timer 243 in the memory 160 can be exemplified, but not limited to this.

Thereafter, the automatic time setting means performs the same processing as in step S202, and resets the time setting time u which is a predetermined time of the parallel activation timer 244 (step S203). Then, the power supply control unit 245 recognizes the time setting time u of the parallel activation timer 244 stored in the memory 160 (Step S204). After that, the time set by the parallel start timer 244 A parallel timing request signal requesting that the timing of u be started is generated and output to the timer control means 246. Upon acquiring the parallel timing request signal, the timer control means 246 performs the process of step S107. Thereafter, when recognizing that the parallel activation timer 244 has measured the time setting time u, the timer control means 246 generates a parallel time completion signal and outputs the signal to the power supply control means 245. Further, after outputting the parallel timekeeping request signal, the power supply control means 245 determines whether or not the parallel activation timer 244 has timed the time setting time u (step S205).

[0085] In step S205, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the parallel activation timer 244 has not counted the time set time u, the power supply control unit 245 returns to the standby state of the input operation, that is, returns to step S108. Determine whether there is an input operation. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S205 that the parallel activation timer 244 has counted the time set time u, the process proceeds to step S112 to determine whether dubbing has ended. If the power supply control unit 245 determines in step S109 that the input operation is not the cancel end operation, the power supply control unit 245 uses the timer control unit 246 to count the time measured by the parallel activation timer 244 for the dubbing parallel processing. Is recognized as an interval. Then, the interval between the input operations is stored in the memory 160 (step S206). Then, the power supply control unit 245 outputs a reset request signal to the timer control unit 246.

[0086] If the power supply control means 245 determines in step S117 that the dubbing parallel processing is not continuing, the power supply control means 245 recognizes the time setting time t of the end start timer 243 stored in the memory 160 (step S117). S207). Thereafter, the end start timer 243 generates an end timing request signal requesting that the timing of the time set time t be started, and outputs the generated end timing request signal to the timer control means 246. When the timer control unit 246 obtains the end timing request signal, the process proceeds to step S118, and starts counting the elapsed time from the end of dubbing. Thereafter, when the timer control unit 246 recognizes that the end start timer 243 has counted the time set time t, it generates an end time completion signal and outputs it to the power supply control unit 245. If the power supply control unit 245 determines in step S121 that the recording reservation has not been set, the power supply control unit 245 determines whether the end activation timer 243 has measured the clock set time t (step S208). In S208, the power supply control unit 245 determines that the If it is determined that the time setting time t has not been measured, the process returns to step S119. On the other hand, when it is determined that the end start timer 243 has counted the time set time t, the supply interruption information is output to the power supply means 230 as appropriate. Thereafter, the power supply unit 230 acquires the supply interruption information, and performs the process of step S106, that is, the process of immediately turning off the power of the recording / reproducing device 100.

With such a configuration, the recording / reproducing device 100 determines the time from the end of dubbing or after the input operation until the power is turned off, based on the interval of the input operation by the user. Can be set automatically according to the implementation status of the input operation. Therefore, since the recording / reproducing device 100 automatically sets the time until the power is turned off for each user, the convenience of the recording / reproducing device 100 can be further improved.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 4, for example, the time setting time t of the end start timer 243 is fixed to, for example, n minutes, and only the time setting time u of the parallel start timer 244 is appropriately set based on the input operation interval. A configuration for resetting may be adopted. Further, the time setting time u of the parallel start timer 244 may be fixed to, for example, m minutes, and only the time setting time t of the end start timer 243 may be appropriately reset based on the input operation interval. With such a configuration, the processing of step S202 and step S207 or step S203 and step S204 can be omitted. Therefore, the power supply process during dubbing can be performed more quickly.

For example, the following configuration may be used. That is, the display device is caused to function as the second processing execution unit of the present invention. Then, the display device is provided with a function of outputting a processing execution signal to the effect that volume adjustment has been performed to the power supply control unit 245, for example. Further, the power supply control unit 245 may be provided with a function of determining that an input operation for performing a process other than dubbing has been performed when a process execution signal is acquired from the display device. With such a configuration, the power supply control unit 245 performs only an input operation for adjusting the volume of the display device after the end of dubbing, for example, and does not perform an input operation related to the operation of the recording / reproducing device 100. Even in this case, the supply continuation information can be output to the power supply means 230. For this reason, even when, for example, the user performs only an input operation for adjusting the volume of the display device after the end of dubbing, the recording / reproducing device 100 can continue power supply until the user recognizes the power-off operation. Therefore, the user can use the recording and playback device 10 Even if an input operation related to the operation of operation 0 is performed, the power-on state is continued, so that the power is turned off against the will and the viewing of a TV program, for example, is not interrupted. . Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can supply power more appropriately.

A configuration in which the power supply control means 245 is provided with a function of outputting supply continuation information or supply interruption information to the power supply means 230 based on an input operation of a remote controller for remotely controlling the recording / reproducing device 100 or the display device. And so on. Further, the power supply control means 245 may be provided with a function of outputting supply continuation information or supply interruption information to the power supply means 230 based on the processing status of the connected device.

[0091] The processing control device and the power supply control device of the present invention may be applied to the recording / reproducing device 100 having no DVD drive 180.

[0092] Although the processing control device and the power supply control device of the present invention have been exemplified for the configuration applied to the recording / reproducing device 100, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to any configuration for controlling power supply. Is also good. Specifically, for example, a process of dubbing music data stored in an HD onto a recording medium such as an MD (Mini Disc) and a process of reproducing other music data stored in an HD can be simultaneously performed. The present invention may be applied to a music recording and reproducing device.

[0093] Although each of the above-described functions is constructed as a program, the functions may be configured by hardware such as a circuit board or an element such as one IC (Integrated Circuit).

It can also be used as a form. In addition, by adopting a configuration in which a program or a recording medium is separately read, the handling is easy and the use can be easily expanded.

[0094] In addition, specific structures and procedures for implementing the present invention can be appropriately changed to other structures and the like as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.

As described above, in the above embodiment, the recording / reproducing device 100 causes the dubbing control means 241 of the CPU 240 to copy the program data of, for example, HD171 to the DVD 181. Then, when recognizing the input operation to execute the dubbing parallel processing during dubbing, the recording / reproducing display means 242 of the CPU 240 appropriately executes the dubbing parallel processing. Thereafter, when recognizing that the dubbing has been completed, the power supply control means 245 of the CPU 240 appropriately acquires a parallel processing status signal from the recording / reproducing display means 242. Next, this parallel processing status signal It is determined whether the dubbing parallel processing is in progress or not on the basis of. Then, when the power supply control unit 245 determines that the dubbing parallel processing is not being continued, the power supply control unit 245 outputs supply interruption information to the power supply unit 230.

[0096] For this reason, when dubbing is completed, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 performs this dubbing in parallel with the dubbing! If, for example, the reproduction process of another TV program such as HD171 is ongoing, The power supply can be continued until the power supply means 230 recognizes the power-off operation. Therefore, even if the user notices that dubbing has ended during the playback of the HD171, for example, the user keeps the power on, so the user turns off the power against the will and plays back! /視聴 The viewing of TV programs is not disturbed. In addition, when dubbing is completed, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 performs the processing in parallel with the dubbing.If the reproduction processing of, for example, the HD 171 is also completed, the recording / reproducing apparatus 100 does not recognize the input operation. The power supply can be immediately interrupted by the power supply means 230. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can be turned off even if the user is not near the recording / reproducing device 100, and power consumption can be reduced. Therefore, the recording / reproducing device 100 can appropriately supply power.
