Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is a place where names and telephone numbers can be registered and searched.
9. The present invention relates to a portable data processing device having a VTR recording reservation function as well as an electronic notebook function.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, recording reservation data for a VTR is input by using an input device built into the VTR body, or by a data input transfer device dedicated to inputting recording reservation data, a so-called remote control.

Since this remote control only had a dedicated function, it was meant to be placed near the VTR, so it was not possible to carry it around freely and input recording reservation data whenever the idea came to mind. . Therefore, if the user had the idea of recording while out and about, it was necessary to check and input the recording reservation data again when the user returned home.

[Three Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, the remote control for a VTR is used in the vicinity of the VTR, and recording reservation data cannot be input when the remote control is out of the house.

On the other hand, so-called electronic notebooks (data banks), which allow users to register and search names, telephone numbers, and addresses, have recently become popular. This electronic notebook is very convenient as it can be carried and used anywhere when going out.

Therefore, if such an electronic notebook is equipped with a function for inputting VTR recording reservation data, it becomes possible to input recording reservation data even when the user is away from home.

This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and has the function of an electronic notebook as well as the function of inputting VTR recording reservation data.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a data processing device for mobile 1jFl that allows recording reservation data to be inputted arbitrarily even when the user is away from home.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention provides an electronic notebook with an input function for VTRlII image reservation data,
This allows recording reservation data to be input and stored in an internal memory while out and about, and after returning home, the recording reservation data stored in an electronic notebook can be converted into an optical signal and registered in a VTR.

In the above configuration, when recording reservation data is input into the electronic notebook, the input data is stored in the internal memory. When the recording reservation data is registered in the VTR after returning home, the recording reservation data stored in the memory is read out, converted into an optical signal, sent to the VTR, and registered in the memory in the VTR. be done.

Therefore, when the user is out and about, he or she can freely input recording reservation data using the data input function and memory function of the electronic notebook.

In addition, this invention adds a function for inputting VTR 8-screen reservation data and a tone generation function to the electronic notebook, and by inputting recording reservation data while out, the recording reservation data is transferred to the VTR at home via a telephone line.

45b is constantly supplied with power supply voltage, and
Even if the television power switch 116 is turned off, the operation signal of the rON/ACJ key on the keyboard 19 is input to the CPU 41.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. When receiving television, operate the television power switch 16 to specify VHF mode or UHF mode.

This will turn on the TV and set it to the specified mode.
HF or UHF television reception is performed.

To specify the data bank function, operate the rON/ACJ key on the keyboard 19 with the power off, or
Operate the rDATAJ key in the above TV reception mode.

When inputting recording reservation data, the rlN10UTJ key is operated in the data bank mode to designate recording reservation data input mode.

As methods for inputting recording reservation data, there are a method of inputting reservation data sequentially by key operations and a method of inputting reservation data stored in advance in the ROM card 35.

First, the process of sequentially inputting reservation data through key operations will be described with reference to FIG. When the r I N10UTJ key is operated in the data bank mode as described above, the CPU 41 enters the recording reservation data input mode and operates according to the recording reservation data input control program stored in the control ROM 47 . When the CPU 41 switches to the recording reservation data input mode, it first displays a recording reservation data input screen on the product panel 15, as shown in FIG. If you operate the "Clear" key in this state, rTIMERREC? will appear on the screen. J is displayed to guide you in inputting the recording reservation time.

Follow this guide to enter the recording reservation time and press rNE.

If you want to make a recording reservation for r13TIME
TIME 15 Input the time data of TIMEJ, then operate the rNEXTJ key. By inputting the above time data, the recording reservation time of r13:00 to 15:00J is displayed on the screen, and a guide for specifying the channel of rcH?J is displayed after operating the l''NEXTJ key.

Follow this guide to select the desired receiving channel e.g. "6"
When you specify a channel, r6CHJ will be displayed on the screen. Next, when you operate the rNEXTJ key, rPROGR
AM7J is displayed on the guide. Following this guide display, select the program name such as rMOVI El, rSTARWAR.
Enter 3J etc.

Thereafter, by operating the rsETJ key, the recording reservation data input operation is completed. The recording reservation data input as described above is stored in the second data memory 45b1.
I remember this 5 myself.

For example, if you want to make a recording reservation using a ROM card 35 in which one week's worth of recording reservation data is written in advance, insert this ROM card 35 into the ROM card insertion slot 20 and press the "IN/○UTJ key." Specify the data input mode by operating the rcLEARJ key to set the data reception state, and then operate the rROMJ key to specify reading of the ROM card 35.This operation causes the first read from the ROM card 35. Recording reservation data is RO

Note that when reading the recording reservation data from the ROM card 35, the data number attached to each recording reservation data may be designated and read out.

Input from the keyboard 19 or ROM as described above
Since the recording reservation data can be stored in the second data memory 45b using the card 35, the recording reservation data can be arbitrarily inputted while away from home or the like.

However, the recording reservation data entered in the electronic notebook mentioned above is
To register in TR, after returning home, operate the rlN10UTJ key in data bank mode to specify recording reservation data input mode. Then the interface 54
With the light emitting diode 544 facing the VTR 55i:l:, operate the rIN10UTJ key again. As a result, the recording reservation data stored in the data memory 45b is read out according to the control command from the CPU 41 and sent to the display memory 48 and the output section 53. The output unit 53 converts the recording reservation data read from the data memory 45b into serial data and outputs the serial data to the interface 54.

The display memory 48 stores recording reservation data read from the data memory 45b and displays it on the color liquid crystal panel 15. Therefore, the content of the recording reservation data can be confirmed from this display content.

The interface 54 drives a control circuit 543 based on recording reservation data sent from the output section 53, converts it into an optical signal using a light emitting diode 544, and outputs the signal to the VTR.
55. VTR55 is a light emitting diode 5
The timer CPU 56 receives and stores the optical signal sent from the timer CPU 56.

By the above operation, Li Dong completes the red painting reservation data registration operation.

Thereafter, the timer CPU 58 performs timer control to start and end the operation of the VTR main unit 57 based on the stored recording reservation data, and records the scheduled broadcast program.

After calling the automatic receiving device at home as described above, the CPU 41 reads the recording reservation data from the data memory 45b and outputs it to the display memory 48 and the tone generator 62. The recording reservation data read into the display memory 48 is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 15 for data confirmation.

On the other hand, the tone generator 62 generates a tone signal according to the recording reservation data read from the data memory 45b, drives the speaker 61, and transmits the recording reservation data.

The automatic receiving device outputs the recording reservation data sent via the telephone line to the timer CPU 5B of the VTR 55. This timer CPU 5B stores recording reservation data received by the automatic receiving device.

Through the above processing, it is possible to make a recording reservation while away from home. The timer CPU 5B controls the VTR main unit 57 based on the stored recording reservation data, and performs a recording operation for a designated program.

In this second embodiment, recording reservation data can be input and registered in the VTR 55 while away from home.
This is very convenient when the program you want to record ends up being broadcast by the time you get home.

[Effect of the invention] As detailed above, according to this invention, VT can be added to the electronic notebook.
R Equipped with a recording reservation data input function, you can input recording reservation data and store it in the internal memory while you are out, and when you return home, you can register the recording reservation data stored in your electronic notebook on the VTR. You can freely input recording reservation data whenever you think of it.

In addition, the present invention provides an electronic notebook with a function for inputting VTR recording reservation data and a tone generation function, and by inputting recording reservation data while away from home, the recording reservation data is transferred to the VTR at home via a telephone line. This makes it possible to input recording reservation data and immediately register it on the home VTR even when away from home, which is very convenient when the program you want to record ends up being broadcast by the time you get home.
