Description
本発明は、ワンセグ放送(One Segment Broadcasting:1Seg.)等、各種受信放送番組の画像及び/又は音声の記録に関し、特に、記録品質に応じて放送番組の記録を行う記録装置、携帯装置、記録プログラム及び記録方法に関する。
The present invention relates to image and / or audio recording of various received broadcast programs such as One Segment Broadcasting (One Segment Broadcasting: 1 Seg.), And in particular, a recording apparatus, a portable apparatus, and a recording apparatus that record broadcast programs according to recording quality The present invention relates to a program and a recording method.
The present invention relates to image and / or audio recording of various received broadcast programs such as One Segment Broadcasting (One Segment Broadcasting: 1 Seg.), And in particular, a recording apparatus, a portable apparatus, and a recording apparatus that record broadcast programs according to recording quality The present invention relates to a program and a recording method.
携帯装置に搭載されたテレビジョン(TV)受信機能を用いて例えば、ワンセグ放送を受信する場合、放送信号の受信感度が場所や時間によって変化する。受信感度が変化すれば、記録される放送番組の画像や音声が乱れ、記録価値が低下する。
For example, when receiving a one-segment broadcasting using a television (TV) reception function installed in a portable device, the reception sensitivity of the broadcast signal varies depending on the location and time. If the reception sensitivity changes, the image and sound of the broadcast program to be recorded are disturbed, and the recording value decreases.
放送信号受信記録に関し、特許文献1には、CSチューナの制御部に受信感度判断部を備え、磁気テープに記録された番組の受信感度が基準値以下である場合には、その画像品質が低い等のメッセージを受信機の画面上に表示する等を開示している。
Regarding broadcast signal reception recording, Patent Document 1 includes a reception sensitivity determination unit in a control unit of a CS tuner, and when the reception sensitivity of a program recorded on a magnetic tape is below a reference value, the image quality is low. And the like are displayed on the screen of the receiver.
携帯装置におけるTV受信機能及び画像記録に関し、特許文献2には、電界強度が一定時間以上低下した場合に記録を停止し、記録を中止した旨をユーザに告知するためのスーパーインポーズを記録し、また、電界強度が低下した期間の記録部分を消去することが開示されている。
Regarding the TV reception function and image recording in a portable device, Patent Document 2 records a superimpose for notifying a user that recording is stopped and recording is stopped when the electric field strength decreases for a certain time or more. In addition, it is disclosed that a recorded portion in a period in which the electric field strength is reduced is erased.
また、特許文献3には、テレビ録画中にテレビジョン放送の受信レベルを測定し、ノイズ等で表示できない受信レベルとなった場合、テレビ録画を停止すると共にその旨を表示又は音又はその双方でユーザに告知し、録画停止中にテレビジョン放送の受信レベルが復帰した場合は、テレビ録画を再開すると共にその旨を表示又は音又はその双方でユーザに告知することが開示されている。

携帯装置に搭載されているTV受信機能及びその記録機能を用いて放送番組を受信し、記録する場合には、移動中に放送受信や記録ができる利点があるものの、場所や時間によっては、電界状態や受信感度の影響を受け、記録画像の不鮮明や、録音劣化等の不都合がある。画像品質が悪い場合、その状況を表すメッセージを画面上に表示(特許文献1)しても、ユーザが記録を切望している場合には斯かるメッセージは無意味であるし、電界強度が低下した場合に記録を停止することは(特許文献2、特許文献3)、この場合もユーザが記録を切望している場合には、ユーザの期待を裏切ることになる。画像品質の良否、記録の要否は番組内容やユーザによって異なるものである。このため、記録停止や画像劣化を表すメッセージを自動表示したり、それを記録することは、記録の有効利用を損う等、ユーザの要請に沿っているとは言えない。
In the case of receiving and recording a broadcast program using the TV reception function and its recording function installed in the portable device, there is an advantage that the broadcast reception and recording can be performed while moving, but depending on the location and time, the electric field Under the influence of the state and reception sensitivity, there are inconveniences such as unclear recording images and deterioration of recording. When the image quality is poor, even if a message indicating the situation is displayed on the screen (Patent Document 1), if the user is anxious to record, the message is meaningless and the electric field strength decreases. In this case, stopping the recording (Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3) also disappoints the user's expectation when the user is anxious to record. The quality of the image and the necessity of recording differ depending on the program content and the user. For this reason, it cannot be said that automatically displaying a message indicating recording stop or image degradation or recording the message is in line with the user's request such as impairing the effective use of recording.

機能F11は、受信感度と録画画像品質の取得及び提示の手段であって、放送番組の受信感度を検出し(ステップS11)、その放送番組の録画画像品質を検出する(ステップS12)。この場合、受信感度は、受信中の放送番組が携帯装置2にどのように受信されるかを表す指標であり、録画画像品質は、その放送番組を録画した場合、携帯装置2にはどのような画像品質で録画されるかを表す指標であり、これら受信感度及び録画画像品質には一定の相関関係があり、移動装置である携帯装置2で放送番組を受信するので、携帯装置2の場所や時間に応じて変化する情報である。
Function F11 is a means for obtaining and presenting reception sensitivity and recorded image quality, detects the reception sensitivity of the broadcast program (step S11), and detects the recorded image quality of the broadcast program (step S12). In this case, the reception sensitivity is an index indicating how the broadcast program being received is received by the mobile device 2, and the recorded image quality is how the mobile device 2 is recorded when the broadcast program is recorded. The reception sensitivity and the recorded image quality have a certain correlation, and since the broadcast program is received by the mobile device 2 that is a mobile device, the location of the mobile device 2 Information that changes according to time.
このような情報を取得した機能F11では、録画の放送番組の受信感度と録画画像品質との関係をユーザに提示する(ステップS13)。ここで、放送番組の受信感度と録画画像品質との関係は例えば、放送番組の受信感度に対応する録画画像品質を提示することであり、特定の放送番組の受信感度と録画画像品質とを同時に提示すれば両者の関係を知ることができる。ユーザに対する情報提示は表示部10に画像表示により実行される。
In the function F11 that has acquired such information, the relationship between the reception sensitivity of the recorded broadcast program and the recorded image quality is presented to the user (step S13). Here, the relationship between the reception sensitivity of the broadcast program and the recorded image quality is, for example, that the recorded image quality corresponding to the reception sensitivity of the broadcast program is presented. If presented, the relationship between the two can be known. Information presentation to the user is executed by displaying an image on the display unit 10.
機能F12は、録画可否の判断手段であって、録画の可否を判断する(ステップS14)。この録画可否の判断は、携帯装置2の内部処理であってもよいし、表示部10の表示画面64(図2)に提示された放送番組の受信感度と録画画像品質との関係情報を認識したユーザが判断してもよい。この機能F12の録画可否の判断に基づき、録画を選択した場合には機能F13が実行され、録画拒否を選択した場合には機能F14が実行される。
Function F12 is a means for determining whether recording is possible, and determines whether recording is possible (step S14). The determination of whether or not recording is possible may be an internal process of the portable device 2 or recognize information related to the reception sensitivity of the broadcast program and the recorded image quality presented on the display screen 64 (FIG. 2) of the display unit 10. The user who made it may judge. Based on the determination of whether or not recording can be performed by the function F12, the function F13 is executed when recording is selected, and the function F14 is executed when recording rejection is selected.
機能F13は、録画等の処理手段であって、録画を選択した場合(ステップS14のYES)には、録画及び保存の処理を実行し(ステップS15)、この録画及び保存の処理では、画像及び音声が記録される。また、録画を選択した場合であっても、録画画像品質が低い場合には、音声のみの記録に切り替え、画像を含まない音声のみを記録し(ステップS16)、待機状態に移行する。
The function F13 is a processing means such as recording, and when recording is selected (YES in step S14), recording and saving processing is executed (step S15). Audio is recorded. Even when recording is selected, if the recorded image quality is low, the recording is switched to recording only audio, only the audio not including the image is recorded (step S16), and the process shifts to a standby state.
機能F14は、録画回避の処理手段であって、録画拒否を選択した場合(ステップS14のNO)の処理であるから、録画中であれば、その録画を終了し(ステップS17)、録画を完了していれば、その録画を消去し(ステップS18)、待機状態に移行する。
The function F14 is a processing means for avoiding recording and is processing when recording refusal is selected (NO in step S14). Therefore, if recording is in progress, the recording is ended (step S17), and the recording is completed. If so, the recording is erased (step S18), and a transition is made to a standby state.
このような機能F11、F12、F13及びF14を備えれば、提示された受信感度と録画画像品質に応じて録画の可否を決定できるとともに、録画画像品質が低い場合には画像を含まない記録として音声のみを選択して記録でき、ユーザの多様な要請に応じることができる。
With such functions F11, F12, F13, and F14, it is possible to determine whether or not recording is possible according to the presented reception sensitivity and recorded image quality, and as a record that does not include an image when the recorded image quality is low Only audio can be selected and recorded, and various requests from users can be met.
次に、受信感度と録画画像品質の関係の提示(機能F11のステップS13)について、図4及び図5を参照する。図4は、録画レベル設定の処理手順を示すフローチャート、図5は、録画レベル設定画面を示す図である。図4及び図5は一例であって、斯かる処理手順や設定画面に本発明が限定されるものではない。図5において、図2と同一符号を付してある。
Next, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 for the presentation of the relationship between the reception sensitivity and the recorded image quality (step S13 of the function F11). FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a recording level setting processing procedure, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a recording level setting screen. 4 and 5 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to such processing procedures and setting screens. In FIG. 5, the same reference numerals as those in FIG.
この処理手順は、記録品質である録画画像品質に基準レベルを設定する処理の一例であって、受信感度及び録画画像品質の関係をユーザに提示する機能として、ワンセグ放送の録画の設定メニューを備える。この設定メニューは、録画開始前に予め設定される録画の動作モードメニューであって、例えば、画像品質の表示画面に画像品質を表すサンプル画像を準備し、サンプル画像は、ある受信感度では概ねこのような記録画像となるサンプルである。そこで、録画レベルの設定メニューを起動させると、スタートボタン押下後、受信感度が悪い場合の画像から受信感度の良い画像までを順次に展開し、ユーザは何れの画像品質を許容して録画が可能とするかを選択し、決定することができる。斯かる処理手順は、録画に移行するために、録画画像品質の最低レベルを決定する処理である。
This processing procedure is an example of processing for setting a reference level for recorded image quality, which is recording quality, and includes a setting menu for recording one-segment broadcasting as a function for presenting the relationship between reception sensitivity and recorded image quality to the user. . This setting menu is a recording operation mode menu set in advance before the start of recording. For example, a sample image representing the image quality is prepared on the image quality display screen. It is a sample that becomes such a recorded image. Therefore, when the recording level setting menu is activated, after the start button is pressed, images from when the reception sensitivity is poor to images with good reception sensitivity are developed in sequence, and the user can record with any image quality allowed. Can be selected and determined. Such a processing procedure is a process of determining the lowest level of recorded image quality in order to shift to recording.
この処理手順は、初期メニューからワンセグ放送受信に移行し、その録画の設定メニューに移行すると、図4に示すように、設定メニューでは、録画レベル設定画面から録画レベルを設定するか否かが判断され(ステップS21)、スタートボタンの押下により録画レベルの設定が開始される(ステップS21のYES)。この場合、「戻るボタン」を押下すれば、設定メニューから機能F11(図3)に戻る。
This processing procedure shifts from the initial menu to reception of one-segment broadcasting, and when the recording setting menu is shifted to, as shown in FIG. 4, the setting menu determines whether or not to set the recording level from the recording level setting screen. Then, the recording level setting is started by pressing the start button (YES in step S21). In this case, if the “return button” is pressed, the setting menu returns to the function F11 (FIG. 3).
録画レベルの設定を開始すると、受信感度と画像品質との関係を表す選択画面として例えば、10段階に設定された画像品質1/10(受信感度:劣)、画像品質2/10(受信感度:少劣)・・・画像品質7/10(受信感度:少良)、画像品質8/10(受信感度:良)・・・を表す実画映像及び音声の出力と選択画面とが「次ボタン」の押下により順次に段階的に上昇する画像品質に切り替えられ(ステップS22~S29)、画像品質10/10(受信感度:最良)の選択画面に到達した後、ステップS22に戻る。
When the setting of the recording level is started, as a selection screen showing the relationship between the reception sensitivity and the image quality, for example, image quality 1/10 (reception sensitivity: inferior) set in 10 stages, image quality 2/10 (reception sensitivity: The output of the actual image and sound representing the image quality 7/10 (reception sensitivity: good), the image quality 8/10 (reception sensitivity: good), and the selection screen are “next buttons”. "" Is switched to an image quality that gradually increases step by step (steps S22 to S29), and after reaching the selection screen of image quality 10/10 (reception sensitivity: best), the process returns to step S22.
各選択画面の表示状態から画像品質の「決定ボタン」を押下すれば(ステップS23、S25、S27、S29の決定ボタンの押下)、その画像品質が基準レベルである録画レベルとして設定され(ステップS30)、録画レベルの設定が完了するとともに、この録画レベルが録画許容範囲の基準レベルである最低レベルとして設定される。また、各選択画面の表示状態から「戻るボタン」を押下すれば、ステップS22に戻り、再度の録画レベルの選択及び設定が可能である。
If the “decision button” for image quality is pressed from the display state of each selection screen (depression button for steps S23, S25, S27, and S29 is pressed), the image quality is set as a recording level that is a reference level (step S30). ) When the setting of the recording level is completed, this recording level is set as the lowest level which is the reference level of the allowable recording range. If a “return button” is pressed from the display state of each selection screen, the process returns to step S22, and the recording level can be selected and set again.
この処理手順において、録画レベル設定には、図5Aに示すように、録画レベル設定画面68が表示され、この録画レベル設定画面68には、「録画レベル設定(画像+音声)」のタイトル表示とともに、画像品質選択のガイドメッセージとして例えば、「どのレベル以上の画像品質であれば録画するかを選択してください。」が表示され、選択入力として「START/戻る」が表示される。「STARTボタン」を押下すれば、画像品質表示画面モードに移行する。
In this processing procedure, as shown in FIG. 5A, a recording level setting screen 68 is displayed for recording level setting, and this recording level setting screen 68 has a title display of “recording level setting (image + audio)”. For example, “Please select which level of image quality should be recorded.” Is displayed as a guide message for selecting image quality, and “START / RETURN” is displayed as a selection input. If the “START button” is pressed, the screen shifts to the image quality display screen mode.
複数段階の画像品質の一例として10段階に設定された画像品質1/10~10/10(受信感度:劣~最良)の表示画面として例えば、表示画面70、72、74、76では、図5B、図5C、図5D、図5Eに示すように、画像品質1/10(受信感度:劣)、画像品質2/10(受信感度:少劣)・・・画像品質7/10(受信感度:少良)、画像品質8/10(受信感度:良)・・・のタイトル表示とともに、選択ボタン表示として「次/決定/戻る」の表示ボタンが表示される。「次」は次画面に移行させるための次ボタン、「決定」は画像品質を決定するための決定ボタン、「戻る」は画像品質1/10の表示画面に戻るための戻るボタンである。また、各表示画面70、72、74、76の中央部には、画像品質を表す実画映像78、80、82、84が表示されるとともに、スピーカ46L、46Rから音声が出力される。
As an example of the image quality in a plurality of stages, display screens 70, 72, 74, and 76 having image quality of 1/10 to 10/10 (reception sensitivity: inferior to best) set to 10 stages are shown in FIG. 5C, FIG. 5D, and FIG. 5E, image quality 1/10 (reception sensitivity: inferior), image quality 2/10 (reception sensitivity: less inferior), image quality 7/10 (reception sensitivity: A display button of “next / decision / return” is displayed as a selection button display together with title display of “low”, image quality 8/10 (reception sensitivity: good)... “Next” is a next button for shifting to the next screen, “Determination” is a determination button for determining the image quality, and “Return” is a return button for returning to the display screen of the image quality 1/10. In addition, real image images 78, 80, 82, 84 representing image quality are displayed at the center of each display screen 70, 72, 74, 76, and sound is output from the speakers 46L, 46R.
ところで、ワンセグ放送の受信感度や放送番組の記録品質の指標は、受信電力として例えば、TVチューナ部6の利得制御値(AGC:Automatic Gain Control):電波の強さと、電波品質(C/N値):受信電力(搬送波)とノイズとの電力比の2つである。これらの指標と画像に変換する過程での各種のノイズ除去アルゴリズムから得られる最終画像をサンプル画像としてユーザに提示すれば、記録品質が実画映像として表すことができる。この場合、ユーザにはAGCやC/Nのような具体的な受信感度パラメータを見せる必要はなく、既述のように、画像品質の最良、良、劣等の簡単な表現に置き替えた表現とすればよく、結果としての画像を確認できれば、どのレベルの画像であれば録画を許容できるかの判断指標が得られる。
By the way, the reception sensitivity of one-segment broadcasting and the recording quality index of the broadcast program are, for example, gain control value (AGC: Automatic Gain Control) of the TV tuner unit 6: received signal power: radio wave strength and radio wave quality (C / N value) ): Two power ratios of received power (carrier wave) and noise. If the final image obtained from these noise reduction algorithms in the process of converting these indices and images is presented to the user as a sample image, the recording quality can be expressed as a real image. In this case, it is not necessary for the user to show specific reception sensitivity parameters such as AGC and C / N. As described above, the expression is replaced with a simple expression such as the best, good, or inferior quality of the image. If the resulting image can be confirmed, it is possible to obtain an index for determining which level of the image can be recorded.
次に、録画レベル設定について、図6及び図7を参照する。図6は、録画レベル設定の他の処理手順を示すフローチャート、図7は、その表示画面を示す図である。図6及び図7は一例であって、斯かる処理手順に本発明が限定されるものではない。図7において、図2と同一部分には同一符号を付してある。
Next, refer to FIGS. 6 and 7 for recording level setting. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing another processing procedure for setting the recording level, and FIG. 7 is a view showing the display screen. 6 and 7 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to such processing procedures. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those in FIG.
ワンセグ放送では、周知のように、字幕放送が併用されている。そこで、画像及び音声だけでなく、画像のみの放送即ち、字幕放送の録画モードも存在する。この場合には、図6に示すように、録画レベル設定選択には、録画レベル設定選択の処理を実行し(ステップS41)、画面にタイトル「録画レベル設定選択」とともに表示された選択肢として「1.画像+音声」、「2.字幕(画像)」、「3.音声」、及び「戻る」を表示し、これらから任意の項目を選択する構成としてもよい。この場合、「1.画像+音声」を選択すれば、画像及び音声の品質設定画面に遷移し(ステップS42)、「2.字幕(画像)」を選択すれば、字幕(画像)の品質設定画面に遷移し(ステップS43)、「3.音声」を選択すれば、音声の品質設定画面に遷移する(ステップS44)。また、「録画レベル設定選択」において、「戻る」を選択すれば、機能F11(図3)の初期メニューに戻ることができる。
As is well known, one-segment broadcasting uses subtitle broadcasting. Therefore, there is a recording mode for not only images and sounds but also images only, that is, caption broadcasting. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, for the recording level setting selection, processing for recording level setting selection is executed (step S41), and “1” is displayed as an option displayed together with the title “recording level setting selection” on the screen. .. image + sound ”,“ 2. subtitle (image) ”,“ 3. sound ”, and“ return ”may be displayed, and an arbitrary item may be selected from these. In this case, if “1. Image + Sound” is selected, the screen changes to an image and sound quality setting screen (step S42), and if “2. Subtitle (image)” is selected, the subtitle (image) quality setting is set. If the screen is changed (step S43) and “3. voice” is selected, the voice quality setting screen is changed (step S44). In addition, if “return” is selected in “recording level setting selection”, it is possible to return to the initial menu of the function F11 (FIG. 3).
この場合、図7に示すように、録画レベル設定画面86が表示され、この録画レベル設定画面86には、タイトル「録画レベル設定選択」とともに、選択肢として「1.画像+音声」、「2.字幕(画像)」及び「3.音声」が表示され、これらの下側には、選択ボタンとして「1、2、3/戻る」を表示すればよい。
In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, a recording level setting screen 86 is displayed. The recording level setting screen 86 includes “1. Image + Sound” and “2. Subtitles (images) ”and“ 3. Audio ”are displayed, and“ 1, 2, 3 / return ”may be displayed as selection buttons below these.
斯かる構成とすれば、放送番組の記録品質を画像及び音声、画像のみ、又は音声のみから記録品質に対する基準レベル(記録許容最低レベル)を設定することができ、利便性を高めることができる。
With such a configuration, it is possible to set a reference level (recording allowable minimum level) for the recording quality from the recording quality of the broadcast program from the image and sound, only the image, or only the sound, and the convenience can be improved.
次に、録画後の通知処理について、図8、図9、図10及び図11を参照する。図8は、画像品質のレベルを表す図、図9は、録画の処理手順を示すフローチャート、図10は、画像品質表示画面を示す図、図11は、録画継続判断画面を示す図である。図8~図11は一例であって、斯かる構成に本発明が限定されるものではない。図10及び図11において、図2と同一部分には同一符号を付してある。
Next, referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the level of image quality, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a recording processing procedure, FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an image quality display screen, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a recording continuation determination screen. 8 to 11 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. 10 and 11, the same parts as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
この録画後の通知処理として、録画後又は録画中の画像品質を提示する処理手順を含んでいる。このような処理を実行するためには、録画時間と画像品質との関係をリアルタイムで監視する必要がある。図8は、その監視結果を表すデータであって、X軸に録画時間、Y軸に画像品質のレベルを取って示している。この場合、Y軸には既述の10段階の画像品質が示され、X軸は1分毎の画像品質の平均値を棒グラフ化したものである。Y軸上の棒の長さの比較により、画像品質の時系列推移や良否を判断することができる。この良否判断に基づき、録画の可否、録画中の録画の続行又は中断、録画後の画像及び音声、画像のみ、又は音声のみの保存の可否の判断等に利用できる。
This notification processing after recording includes a processing procedure for presenting image quality after recording or during recording. In order to execute such processing, it is necessary to monitor the relationship between the recording time and the image quality in real time. FIG. 8 shows data representing the monitoring result, showing the recording time on the X-axis and the image quality level on the Y-axis. In this case, the Y-axis indicates the image quality of the above-described 10 levels, and the X-axis is a bar graph showing the average value of the image quality every minute. By comparing the lengths of the bars on the Y-axis, it is possible to determine the time series transition and quality of the image quality. Based on this pass / fail judgment, it can be used to determine whether or not recording is possible, whether or not to continue recording during recording, and whether or not to save images and sounds after recording, only images, or only audio.
この画像品質の時系列推移において、基準レベルとしてのユーザ設定品質録画レベルLfを下回る画像品質y1 、y2 が録画開始後31分から2分間に生じている。このような画像品質が劣化した場合には、その告知として、レシーバ44、スピーカ46L、46Rからアラーム音を発生させ、又は、バイブレータ38を駆動して鳴動させ、ユーザに画像品質の劣化を告知するとともに、自動的又はマニュアル操作に基づき、現在の録画を継続するか中断するかの問い合わせのための処理を実行する。
In the time-series transition of the image quality, image quality y 1 and y 2 that are lower than the user set quality recording level Lf as the reference level are generated from 31 minutes to 2 minutes after the start of recording. When such image quality deteriorates, an alarm sound is generated from the receiver 44 and the speakers 46L and 46R, or the vibrator 38 is driven to sound to notify the user of the image quality deterioration. At the same time, a process for inquiring whether to continue or interrupt the current recording is executed automatically or based on a manual operation.
この処理手順では、図9に示すように、録画継続判断のための選択画面を表示し(ステップS51)、この選択画面から「1.録画継続」か「2.録画中断」かの選択をすることができるので、「1.録画継続」が選択されたか、「2.録画中断」が選択されたかの判断をする(ステップS52)。「1.録画継続」を選択した場合には、録画アラーム通知の設定をするか否かの判断をし(ステップS53)、アラーム設定をする場合には(ステップS53のYES)、アラーム設定モードを開始する(ステップS54)。
In this processing procedure, as shown in FIG. 9, a selection screen for determining the continuation of recording is displayed (step S51), and “1. continuation of recording” or “2. suspend recording” is selected from this selection screen. Therefore, it is determined whether “1. Continue recording” is selected or “2. Stop recording” is selected (step S52). If “1. Continue recording” is selected, it is determined whether or not to set a recording alarm notification (step S53). If an alarm is set (YES in step S53), the alarm setting mode is set. Start (step S54).
アラーム設定モードでは、アラーム設定選択画面が展開され、アラーム発生条件として「1.録画画像品質劣化連続時間設定」か、「2.録画画像品質劣化トータル回数」か、又は「次」の処理に移行するかの選択をさせる(ステップS55)。「1.録画画像品質劣化連続時間設定」を選択した場合には、録画画像品質劣化連続時間の入力画面が展開され、表示された時間入力部にユーザの希望する時間を入力し(ステップS56)、設定完了により、ステップS55に戻る。
In the alarm setting mode, the alarm setting selection screen is expanded, and the process proceeds to “1. Recorded image quality degradation continuous time setting”, “2. Recorded image quality degradation total number of times”, or “Next” as an alarm generation condition. The user selects whether to do (step S55). When “1. Recorded image quality degradation continuous time setting” is selected, an input screen for the recorded image quality degradation continuous time is developed, and the time desired by the user is input to the displayed time input unit (step S56). When the setting is completed, the process returns to step S55.
また、「2.録画画像品質劣化トータル回数」を選択した場合には、録画画像品質劣化トータル回数の入力画面が展開され、表示された回数入力部にユーザの希望する回数を入力し(ステップS57)、設定完了により、ステップS55に戻る。
If “2. Total number of recorded image quality degradations” is selected, an input screen for the total number of recorded image quality degradations is developed, and the number of times desired by the user is input to the displayed number input unit (step S57). ) When the setting is completed, the process returns to step S55.
ステップS55において、「次ボタン」を押下すれば、「次」の処理に移行し(ステップS58)、機能F11(図3)の処理に復帰する。
If the “next button” is pressed in step S55, the process proceeds to the “next” process (step S58), and the process returns to the function F11 (FIG. 3).
また、ステップS52において、「2.録画中断」を選択した場合には、録画の中断処理を実行し(ステップS59)、機能F11(図3)の処理に復帰する。
If “2. Recording interruption” is selected in step S52, the recording interruption process is executed (step S59), and the process returns to the function F11 (FIG. 3).

次に、録画設定処理について、図15を参照する。図15は、録画設定処理の遷移を示すフローチャートである。図15に示す処理手順は一例であって、斯かる処理手順に本発明が限定されるものではない。
Next, refer to FIG. 15 for the recording setting process. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the transition of the recording setting process. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 15 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to such a processing procedure.
既述の設定メニューの遷移状態は、図15に示すように、アラームが発生した場合には、その表示を行い、ユーザ判断で画像品質を判断した上で、録画継続の場合には、アラームモード設定画面(例えば、図12、図13、図14)に遷移することにより、今後の録画モード設定を変更できるようにすればよい。
As shown in FIG. 15, the transition state of the setting menu described above is displayed when an alarm is generated, and the alarm mode is displayed when the image quality is determined by the user judgment and the recording is continued. By changing to a setting screen (for example, FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 14), future recording mode settings may be changed.
そこで、この処理手順は、録画開始メニューから録画レベルの設定、録画画像品質アラーム発生等を行う処理手順を含む総合的な処理手順である。既述の処理と対応する箇所には図番を付し、対応関係を明示している。
Therefore, this processing procedure is a comprehensive processing procedure including a processing procedure for setting a recording level, generating a recorded image quality alarm, and the like from the recording start menu. A part corresponding to the above-described processing is assigned a figure number to clearly indicate the correspondence.
録画設定メニューが開始されると(ステップS61)、録画設定メニューが表示部10に提示され、ユーザは、録画レベル設定かアラーム動作モード設定かの選択を行う(ステップS62)。ステップS62において、録画レベル設定が選択された場合には、「画像+音声」、「画像のみ」又は「音声のみ」の録画レベルの選択が行われる(ステップS63)。録画レベルとは、録画画像品質が基準レベルに到達していない場合に、切り替えられる放送番組の記録形態であって、「画像+音声」では画像と音声の同時記録であり、「画像のみ」は音声があっても画像のみの記録であり、また、「音声のみ」は 画像があっても音声のみの記録である。
When the recording setting menu is started (step S61), the recording setting menu is presented on the display unit 10, and the user selects the recording level setting or the alarm operation mode setting (step S62). If the recording level setting is selected in step S62, the recording level of “image + sound”, “image only” or “sound only” is selected (step S63). The recording level is the recording format of the broadcast program that is switched when the recorded image quality does not reach the reference level. In “image + audio”, the image and audio are recorded simultaneously, and “image only” Even if there is sound, it is a record of only the image, and “sound only” is a record of only the sound even if there is an image.
ステップS63において、「画像+音声」、「画像のみ」又は「音声のみ」の何れかが選択されることにより、録画レベルが設定される(ステップS64)。この場合、放送番組を記録するか否かの基準レベルの設定が行われる。この基準レベルは、放送番組の記録において、放送番組の画像品質がユーザの録画許容範囲の最低レベルである。
In step S63, any one of “image + sound”, “image only”, and “sound only” is selected to set the recording level (step S64). In this case, a reference level for determining whether or not to record a broadcast program is set. This reference level is the lowest level in the recording allowable range of the user when the image quality of the broadcast program is recorded in the broadcast program.
基準レベルを設定した後、録画レベル及び基準レベルを設定し直す場合には、ステップS62に戻り、設定された録画レベル及び基準レベルを設定し直さない場合には、アラーム通知の有無の選択(ステップS65)に移行する。
If the recording level and the reference level are to be reset after the reference level is set, the process returns to step S62. If the set recording level and the reference level are not to be reset, the selection of the presence / absence of alarm notification (step The process proceeds to S65).
録画画像品質アラームの発生(ステップS66)では、録画を継続するか、録画を中断するかの選択(ステップS67)が行われ、録画継続を選択した場合には、録画レベルの変更か、録画レベル変更なしかの選択(ステップS68)が行われる。ステップS67において、録画中断の場合には、録画中断処理(ステップS69)が実行される。
When the recorded image quality alarm is generated (step S66), selection is made as to whether to continue recording or to stop recording (step S67). Selection without change (step S68) is performed. If the recording is interrupted in step S67, the recording interruption process (step S69) is executed.
ステップS68において、録画レベルの変更が選択された場合には、録画レベルの設定が行われる(ステップS64)。録画レベル変更なしが選択された場合には、アラーム通知の有無の選択(ステップS65)に移行する。
In step S68, when the recording level change is selected, the recording level is set (step S64). When “no recording level change” is selected, the process proceeds to selection of presence / absence of alarm notification (step S65).
ステップS65において、アラームを通知することが選択された場合には、録画の自動停止か、ユーザによる停止かの選択(ステップS70)が行われる。ユーザの判断を求める場合には、録画停止はユーザ操作に委ねる。また、自動停止が選択された場合には、アラーム発生とともに自動的に録画を中断又は停止する動作を行う(ステップS71)。ユーザによる停止が選択された場合には、録画画像品質劣化連続時間の設定か、録画画像品質劣化トータル回数の設定かの選択(ステップS72)が行われ、録画画像品質劣化連続時間の設定が選択された場合には、録画画像品質劣化連続時間の設定(ステップS73)が実行され、録画画像品質劣化トータル回数の設定が選択された場合には、録画画像品質劣化トータル回数の設定(ステップS74)が実行され、これらの何れもが選択されない場合には、音声のみの録画か否かの選択(ステップS75)が実行され、音声のみを選択した場合には、アラーム発生時に音声のみの録画(ステップS76)が実行された後、ステップS62に戻り、また、音声のみの録画を行わない場合にもステップS62に戻る。
In step S65, when notification of an alarm is selected, selection is made between automatic recording stop and user stop (step S70). When the user's judgment is requested, the recording stop is left to the user operation. If automatic stop is selected, the recording is automatically interrupted or stopped when an alarm is generated (step S71). When stop by the user is selected, selection of setting of the recorded image quality deterioration continuous time or setting of the total number of times of recorded image quality deterioration is performed (step S72), and setting of the recorded image quality deterioration continuous time is selected. If the recorded image quality deterioration continuous time is set (step S73), and if the recorded image quality deterioration total number of times is selected, the recorded image quality deterioration total number of times is set (step S74). If none of these is selected, the selection of whether or not to record only audio (step S75) is executed. If only the audio is selected, only audio is recorded (step S75). After step S76) is executed, the process returns to step S62, and also when no audio-only recording is performed, the process returns to step S62.
また、ステップS65において、アラーム通知なしの場合には、今後、アラーム通知をすることなく、指定されたモードで録画する処理(ステップS77)が実行され、ステップS62に戻ることになる。
If there is no alarm notification in step S65, the process of recording in the designated mode (step S77) will be executed without any alarm notification in the future, and the process will return to step S62.
次に、録画中の録画状態表示について、図16及び図17を参照する。図16は、録画状態表示の処理手順の一例を示すフローチャート、図17は、録画状態表示を備える待ち受け画面を示す図である。図16及び図17の録画状態の表示は一例であって、斯かる表示形態に本発明が限定されるものではない。図17において、図2と同一部分には同一符号を付してある。
Next, referring to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 for the recording state display during recording. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of a recording state display processing procedure, and FIG. 17 is a view showing a standby screen having a recording state display. The display of the recording state in FIGS. 16 and 17 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to such a display form. In FIG. 17, the same parts as those in FIG.
録画中の録画状態は例えば、アイコンで確認できるようにすればよく、アイコンの形状を一定にし、配色によってユーザ設定の録画画像品質を超えているか以下かを表示すれば、ユーザは容易にその状態確認ができる。
The recording status during recording may be confirmed by, for example, an icon. If the shape of the icon is fixed and whether the recorded image quality exceeds or below the user-set recording image quality is displayed, the user can easily check the status. I can confirm.
この処理手順では、待ち受け画面に録画中の録画状態表示をする処理の一例である。図16に示すように、録画が開始されると、録画状態表示モードが開始され、情報入力や通信等を行っていない場合には、表示部10に待ち受け画面が表示され(ステップS81)、録画中であるか否かの判定が行われ(ステップS82)、録画中であれば(ステップS82のYES)、この待ち受け画面中に、録画中及び録画画像品質を表すアイコンが表示され(ステップS83)、録画中でなければ(ステップS82のNO)、斯かるアイコンの表示はない。
This processing procedure is an example of processing for displaying a recording state during recording on the standby screen. As shown in FIG. 16, when recording is started, the recording state display mode is started. When information input or communication is not performed, a standby screen is displayed on the display unit 10 (step S81). Whether or not recording is in progress is determined (step S82), and if recording is in progress (YES in step S82), icons indicating recording and recorded image quality are displayed on the standby screen (step S83). If the recording is not in progress (NO in step S82), no such icon is displayed.
録画中においては、画像品質がユーザが設定した基準レベルを超えているか否かの判定が行われ(ステップS84)、基準レベルを超える画像品質であれば(ステップS84のYES)、アイコンを例えば、青色表示とし(ステップS85)、基準レベル以下の画像品質であれば(ステップS84のNO)、アイコンを例えば、赤色表示とする(ステップS86)。
During recording, it is determined whether or not the image quality exceeds the reference level set by the user (step S84). If the image quality exceeds the reference level (YES in step S84), an icon is displayed, for example. If the display is blue (step S85) and the image quality is below the reference level (NO in step S84), the icon is displayed in red, for example (step S86).
このような録画中及び録画画像品質の表示において、待ち受け状態にある場合、図17Aに示すように、待ち受け画面94が表示され、録画中の場合には、待ち受け画面94の右上に録画中を表すアイコン96が表示され、録画状態が基準レベルを超える画像品質であれば、図17Bに示すように、そのアイコン96を青色表示98とし、また、録画状態が基準レベル以下の場合には、図17Cに示すように、アイコン96を赤色表示100とすればよい。
In such a recording and display of the recorded image quality, when in a standby state, a standby screen 94 is displayed as shown in FIG. 17A, and when recording is in progress, recording is indicated in the upper right of the standby screen 94. If the icon 96 is displayed and the recording state exceeds the reference level, the icon 96 is displayed in blue 98 as shown in FIG. 17B. If the recording state is below the reference level, the icon 96 is displayed in FIG. 17C. As shown, the icon 96 may be a red display 100.
ユーザは斯かるアイコン表示を以て録画中であることを認識でき、画像品質が良好であるか否かをその表示色で認識でき、録画を継続させるか、中断させるかの判断に利用することができる。
With such an icon display, the user can recognize that recording is in progress, can recognize whether the image quality is good or not by the display color, and can use it to determine whether recording should be continued or interrupted. .
〔第2の実施の形態〕
[Second Embodiment]
第2の実施の形態について、図18及び図19を参照する。図18は、携帯装置の一例を示す図、図19は、記録予約の画像処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図18及び図19に示す構成は一例であって、斯かる構成に本発明が限定されるものではない。図18において、図1と同一部分には同一符号を付してある。
For the second embodiment, refer to FIG. 18 and FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a portable device, and FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of image processing for recording reservation. The configuration shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. In FIG. 18, the same parts as those in FIG.
この実施の形態では、記録予約ができる構成とし、その一例である録画予約の処理において、予約時間到来前の時点で受信画像の品質を判断する構成としたものである。予約時間到来前の時点で受信画像の品質を判断する構成とすれば、録画開始後の画像品質の低下による録画中断等の無駄な処理を回避できる。
In this embodiment, the recording reservation can be made, and in the recording reservation processing as an example, the quality of the received image is judged before the reservation time comes. If the configuration is such that the quality of the received image is determined before the scheduled time arrives, useless processing such as recording interruption due to a decrease in image quality after the start of recording can be avoided.
この実施の形態では、図18に示すように、携帯装置2に記録予約部14を備える。この記録予約部14は計時手段としてのタイマー、記録予約する放送番組を格納する記憶手段を備え、プロセッサ4により制御され、所定の日時に特定の放送番組の記録を開始し、その記録を終了させる。表示部10は放送番組の記録予約等の表示に用いられ、入力操作部12は放送番組の記録予約等の入力にも用いられる。その他の構成は第1の実施の形態と同様であるので、図18に図1と同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the portable device 2 includes a recording reservation unit 14. The recording reservation unit 14 includes a timer as a time measuring means and a storage means for storing a broadcast program to be reserved for recording, and is controlled by the processor 4 to start recording a specific broadcast program at a predetermined date and time and end the recording. . The display unit 10 is used to display a broadcast program recording reservation, and the input operation unit 12 is also used to input a broadcast program recording reservation. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 are given to FIG. 18 and the description thereof is omitted.
この記録予約処理を含む画像処理の処理機能は、記録方法又は記録プログラムの一例であって、記録予約処理を含む記録モードの開始によって実行され、録画予約状態から、受信感度と記録品質として録画画像品質の取得及び提示の処理機能(F21)に加え、第1の実施の形態と同様に、録画の可否判断処理機能(F22)、記録処理機能(F23)及び記録終了又は記録消去の処理機能(F24)を含んでいる。
The processing function of the image processing including the recording reservation process is an example of a recording method or a recording program, and is executed by starting a recording mode including the recording reservation process. In addition to the quality acquisition and presentation processing function (F21), in the same way as in the first embodiment, a recording availability determination processing function (F22), a recording processing function (F23), and a recording end or recording erasing processing function ( F24).
機能F21は、録画予約の実行手段であって、予約時間前の起動を行う(ステップS91)。この予約時間前の起動では、録画予約が存在する場合、その予約時刻の到来前の所定時間内において、放送番組の受信を開始する。この予約時間前の起動により、受信中の放送番組の受信画像品質を取得し(ステップS92)、予め設定していた録画を実行するか否かの判断(ステップS93)を行い、予め設定していた録画でない場合、即ち、画像品質が基準レベル以下の場合には、ユーザへの問い合わせを行う(ステップS94)。即ち、表示部10の表示画面に録画画像品質が低いことを告知し、録画を実行するか否かの判断を求める。この段階でユーザの録画拒否又は録画モードの再設定を行える(ステップS95)。ステップS93において、予め設定していた録画動作であれば、ステップS94の問い合わせを経ることなく、ステップS95の処理を実行する。
Function F21 is a recording reservation execution means, and starts up before the reservation time (step S91). In the activation before the reserved time, if there is a recording reservation, reception of the broadcast program is started within a predetermined time before the reservation time arrives. As a result of the activation before the reserved time, the received image quality of the broadcast program being received is acquired (step S92), and it is determined whether or not to perform the preset recording (step S93). If it is not recorded, that is, if the image quality is below the reference level, an inquiry is made to the user (step S94). That is, the display screen of the display unit 10 is notified that the recorded image quality is low, and a determination is made as to whether or not to execute recording. At this stage, the user can reject recording or reset the recording mode (step S95). In step S93, if it is a preset recording operation, the process of step S95 is executed without the inquiry of step S94.
機能F22は、録画可否の判断処理手段であって、録画の可否を判断する(ステップS96)。この録画可否の判断は、携帯装置2の内部処理であってもよいし、表示部10の表示画面64(図2)に提示された放送番組の受信感度と録画画像品質との関係情報を認識したユーザが判断してもよい。この機能F22の録画可否の判断に基づき、録画を選択した場合には機能F23が実行され、録画拒否を選択した場合には機能F24が実行される。
The function F22 is a determination processing unit for determining whether recording is possible, and determines whether recording is possible (step S96). The determination of whether or not recording is possible may be an internal process of the portable device 2 or recognize information related to the reception sensitivity of the broadcast program and the recorded image quality presented on the display screen 64 (FIG. 2) of the display unit 10. The user who made it may judge. Based on the determination of whether or not recording can be performed by the function F22, the function F23 is executed when recording is selected, and the function F24 is executed when recording rejection is selected.
機能F23では、録画等の処理手段であって、録画を選択した場合には、録画及び保存の処理を実行し(ステップS97)、この録画及び保存の処理では、画像及び音声が記録される。また、録画を選択した場合であっても、録画画像品質が低い場合には、音声のみの記録に切り替え、画像を含まない音声のみを記録し(ステップS98)、待機状態に移行する。
Function F23 is a processing means such as recording, and when recording is selected, recording and storage processing is executed (step S97), and in this recording and storage processing, images and sound are recorded. Even when recording is selected, if the recorded image quality is low, the recording is switched to recording only sound, only the sound not including the image is recorded (step S98), and the process shifts to a standby state.
機能F24は、録画回避の処理手段であって、録画拒否を選択した場合の処理であるから、録画中であれば、その録画を終了し(ステップS99)、録画を完了していれば、その録画を消去し(ステップS100)、待機状態に移行する。
The function F24 is a processing means for avoiding recording and is processing when the recording refusal is selected. Therefore, if recording is in progress, the recording is terminated (step S99). The recording is erased (step S100), and a transition is made to a standby state.
このような機能F21、F22、F23及びF24の処理によれば、提示された受信感度と録画画像品質に応じて録画の可否を決定できるとともに、録画画像品質が低い場合には画像を含まない記録として音声のみを選択して記録でき、ユーザの多様な要請に応じることができる。
According to such processing of the functions F21, F22, F23, and F24, it is possible to determine whether recording is possible according to the presented reception sensitivity and recorded image quality, and recording that does not include an image when the recorded image quality is low. As described above, it is possible to select and record only voice, and respond to various requests of users.
このように予約録画前に、録画画像品質を判断し、ユーザに提示するとともに、ユーザの録画可否を判断させれば、記録品質の良い記録が行えるとともに、受信感度や録画画像品質を再確認し、基準レベルの変更等を行い、携帯装置2の場所や時間で変化する録画画像品質に対応した記録を行うことができる。
Thus, before scheduled recording, the recorded image quality is determined and presented to the user, and if the user can determine whether recording is possible, recording with good recording quality can be performed, and the reception sensitivity and recorded image quality are reconfirmed. By changing the reference level, etc., recording corresponding to the recorded image quality that changes with the location and time of the portable device 2 can be performed.
次に、録画前の録画状態の確認処理について、図20、図21、図22及び図23を参照する。図20は、録画前の画像品質の確認処理の処理手順を示すフローチャート、図21は、録画前の画像品質確認画面を示す図、図22は、録画前判断画面を示す図、図23は、録画前の画像品質の推移を示す図である。図20~図23は録画画像品質の確認処理の一例であって、斯かる処理に本発明が限定されるものではない。
Next, referring to FIG. 20, FIG. 21, FIG. 22 and FIG. 23 for the confirmation process of the recording state before recording. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the image quality confirmation process before recording, FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an image quality confirmation screen before recording, FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a pre-recording judgment screen, and FIG. It is a figure which shows transition of the image quality before recording. 20 to 23 are examples of the recorded image quality confirmation processing, and the present invention is not limited to such processing.
この処理手順では、録画前に放送番組の録画状態を検出し、その録画状態をユーザが予め確認する処理であり、録画設定をした時点で斯かる処理が実行される。
In this processing procedure, the recording state of a broadcast program is detected before recording, and the user confirms the recording state in advance, and such processing is executed when recording is set.
この処理手順では、録画予約の完了後、録画前画像品質確認を行うことを指定すると、録画前に画像品質確認画面が表示され、(ステップS101)、この画像品質確認画面から録画前の一定時間として例えば、20分間を指定すると、録画前画像品質確認を行う指定時間として例えば、20〔分〕前に画像品質確認の動作が開始され(ステップS102)、自動的に録画画像品質が測定される。この測定結果は、録画前の一定時間例えば、5分前になると、録画画像品質の表示画面が表示されるとともに、バイブレータ38の動作及び/又はアラーム音が発せられる(ステップS103)。ユーザは、この画像品質確認を行い、録画開始までの5分間において、録画を行うか否かの判断が求められる(ステップS104)。
In this processing procedure, if it is specified that pre-recording image quality confirmation is performed after the recording reservation is completed, an image quality confirmation screen is displayed before recording (step S101), and a predetermined time before recording is recorded from this image quality confirmation screen. For example, if 20 minutes is designated, the image quality confirmation operation is started 20 minutes before the designated time for confirming the pre-recording image quality (step S102), and the recorded image quality is automatically measured. . When the measurement result is a certain time before recording, for example, 5 minutes before recording, a display screen of the recorded image quality is displayed, and the operation of the vibrator 38 and / or an alarm sound is generated (step S103). The user confirms the image quality and is required to determine whether or not to record in 5 minutes until the start of recording (step S104).
録画画像品質の表示画面において、入力操作があるか否かの判断が行われ(ステップS105)、入力操作があれば、録画継続判断以外の操作キーの操作か否かが判定され(ステップS106)、録画継続に関連するキー操作であれば、録画を継続するか否かの判断が行われ(ステップS107)、録画を継続しない場合では(ステップS107のNO)、予約した録画のキャンセルをしたり、録画の品質レベル変更等を行い、予約録画を継続したりする(ステップS108)。
In the recorded image quality display screen, it is determined whether or not there is an input operation (step S105). If there is an input operation, it is determined whether or not the operation key is operated except for the recording continuation determination (step S106). If the key operation is related to the continuation of recording, it is determined whether or not the recording is continued (step S107). If the recording is not continued (NO in step S107), the reserved recording is canceled. Then, the recording quality level is changed, and the reserved recording is continued (step S108).
また、ステップS105で入力操作なしと判断された場合、ステップS106で録画継続判断以外のキー操作即ち、別キーの操作の場合、又は、ステップS107で録画継続する場合(ステップS107のYES)では、表示画面を消去し、録画処理に入る(ステップS109)。
If it is determined in step S105 that there is no input operation, a key operation other than the recording continuation determination in step S106, that is, another key operation, or a case where recording is continued in step S107 (YES in step S107), The display screen is erased and the recording process is started (step S109).
この画像品質確認において、録画前の画像品質確認には、図21に示すように、画像品質確認画面102が表示され、この画像品質確認画面102には、確認メッセージとして例えば、「録画前画像品質確認を行いますか?」との表示とともに、その確認の意思の選択肢として「1.Yes」、「2.No」が表示され、「1.Yes」の下側には時間入力部104が表示され、また、選択入力として「設定完了/戻る」が表示される。
In this image quality confirmation, as shown in FIG. 21, an image quality confirmation screen 102 is displayed in the image quality confirmation before recording, and the image quality confirmation screen 102 displays, for example, “image quality before recording” as a confirmation message. “Do you want to confirm?” And “1.Yes” and “2.No” are displayed as options for the intention to confirm, and the time input unit 104 is displayed below “1.Yes”. In addition, “setting complete / return” is displayed as a selection input.
この画像品質確認画面102の「1.Yes」及び時間入力部104に時間を入力し、又は「2.No」を選択し、「設定完了」を選択すれば、設定完了となる。
When “1. Yes” on the image quality confirmation screen 102 and the time are input to the time input unit 104 or “2. No” is selected and “Setting is completed” is selected, the setting is completed.
録画開始の所定時間前例えば、5分前になると、録画前判断画面106(図22)が表示される。この録画前判断画面106は、図22に示すように、タイトルとして「録画前判断」と表示され、所定時間間隔の画像品質を表す棒グラフ表示108とともにユーザ設定の基準レベルであるユーザ設定品質録画レベルLfを超えているか否かが表示され、この棒グラフ表示108の下側には録画を継続するか否かを選択するための選択肢として「1.継続」、「2.停止」が表示され、カーソルキー58(図2)によって「1.継続」又は「2.停止」を選択し、決定キー60(図2)を押下すれば、「1.継続」の選択によって予約録画の継続、又は「2.停止」の選択によって予約録画の停止となる。
When a predetermined time before the start of recording, for example, 5 minutes before, a pre-recording determination screen 106 (FIG. 22) is displayed. As shown in FIG. 22, the pre-recording judgment screen 106 is displayed with the title “pre-recording judgment” as a title, and a bar graph display 108 representing the image quality at a predetermined time interval and a user-set quality recording level that is a user-set reference level. Whether or not Lf is exceeded is displayed, and “1. Continue” and “2. Stop” are displayed below the bar graph display 108 as options for selecting whether or not to continue recording. If “1. continuation” or “2. stop” is selected with the key 58 (FIG. 2) and the determination key 60 (FIG. 2) is pressed, the reservation recording is continued by selecting “1. continuation”, or “2 .. “Stop” will stop scheduled recording.
また、棒グラフ表示108は、図23に示すように、横軸に録画前時間、縦軸に画像品質を表示した棒グラフであり、例えば、画像品質の「良」にユーザ設定品質録画レベルLfが設定されているものとすれば、このレベルLfより高ければ、良以上の画像品質が得られていることから、棒グラフ上の棒の長さを以て画像品質を視認でき、しかも、この場合、その画像品質が録画開始の5分前までの一定の単位時間例えば、1分間毎の画像品質が測定され、表示されている。このような画像品質の表示を確認すれば、画像品質を容易かつ高精度に認識でき、録画を継続するか停止するかの有力な情報となる。
As shown in FIG. 23, the bar graph display 108 is a bar graph in which the horizontal axis indicates the pre-recording time and the vertical axis indicates the image quality. For example, the user-set quality recording level Lf is set to “good” for the image quality. If it is higher than this level Lf, an image quality of good or better can be obtained. Therefore, the image quality can be visually recognized by the length of the bar on the bar graph. The image quality is measured and displayed for a certain unit time, for example, 1 minute, until 5 minutes before the start of recording. If the display of such image quality is confirmed, the image quality can be recognized easily and with high accuracy, and it becomes influential information on whether to continue or stop recording.
次に、録画予約の画像品質確認画面表示と選択処理について、図24を参照する。図24は、録画前の画像品質確認処理の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。図24は画像品質確認処理の一例であって、斯かる処理に本発明が限定されるものではない。
