Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus capable of constantly displaying a timer reservation state of a video tape recorder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a conventional magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 is an operation unit for operating the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. 22 is an operation unit 21
The storage unit 23 outputs the information stored in the storage unit 23 to the storage unit 23 and outputs the information from the storage unit 23 and the operation unit 21 as a display command. A storage unit 23 stores information output from the control unit 22 and outputs information to the control unit 22 in response to a read command from the control unit 22. Reference numeral 24 is a reservation display unit for receiving a display command from the control unit 22 and displaying a timer reservation state, and 25 is a various display unit for performing various displays in response to a display command from the control unit 22. A display unit 26 includes a reservation display unit 24 and various display units 25.

The operation of the conventional magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus having the above structure will be described below.

The timer recording reservation of the video tape recorder is set by the operation unit 21, and the contents of the reservation and the information of the reservation number are output to the control unit 22. The control unit 22 outputs and stores information about the reservation content and the number of reservations in the memory unit 23, and issues to the display unit 26 a command indicating that the timer reservation has been made and the number of reservations. The display unit 26 displays various displays, a clock mark as shown in FIG. 4 as a display when there is a timer, and arithmetic numerals (up to the maximum reservable number of 4) representing the number of reservations. When recording is performed and there are no reservations, a read command from the control unit 22 outputs the contents of the reservation made in the storage unit 23 and the number of reservations to the control unit 22. The control unit 22 issues a display command to the display units 24 and 25 based on the information, displays the number of reserved recordings on the display unit 26, and turns off the clock mark when all recording reservations are exhausted.

[0005]

However, in the above conventional structure, the reservation display section (clock mark) in the display section is used.
Has a problem in that it takes up space and cannot display what you want to display on various display parts, and that it is difficult to see the arithmetic number indicating the number of reservations.

The present invention provides a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus which has a function of easily discriminating the reserved quantity in a space-saving manner.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus of the present invention has an operation section for operating the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus and information for storing information from the operation section is output to a storage section. A control unit that outputs information from the storage unit and information from the operation unit as a display command, and a storage unit that stores the information output from the control unit and outputs the information to the control unit by a read command from the control unit. The display unit is provided with a first display unit for receiving a display command from the control unit and displaying the timer reservation state in a divided lighting mode, and a second display unit for performing various displays.

[0008]

With this structure, space can be saved more than before, and the reservation state can be easily discriminated by the divided reservation display section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a magnetic recording / reproducing operation in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a division reservation display portion (clock mark) in the same embodiment. Reference numeral 11 is an operation unit for operating the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. Reference numeral 12 denotes a control unit that outputs information that stores information from the operation unit 11 to the storage unit 13 and that outputs information from the storage unit 13 and information from the operation unit 11 as a display command. 13 is the control unit 12
Is a storage unit that stores information output from the control unit 12 and outputs information to the control unit 12 in response to a read command from the control unit 12. Reference numeral 14 denotes a divided reservation display unit for displaying a timer reservation state in response to a display command from the control unit 12, and 15 denotes various display units for performing various displays in response to a display command from the control unit 12. Reference numeral 16 is a display unit including a divided reservation display unit 14 and various display units 15.

The operation of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the timer recording reservation of the video tape recorder is set by the operation unit 11, and the contents of the reservation and the information of the reservation number are output to the control unit 12. The control unit 12 outputs and stores information about the reservation content and the number of reservations in the memory unit 13, and the timer reservation is set on the display unit 16.
Issue the reservation number display command. On the display unit 16, one of various displays and a clock mark divided into four as shown in FIG. 2 as a divided reservation display is lit and displayed as one reservation. For example, the first recording reservation is set to the upper left of the four divisions (hatched portion), and thereafter, each time the reservation is increased, the display is lit clockwise (to the right).

When recording is performed and there is no recording reservation, the storage unit 13 outputs information about the reservation content and the number of reserved reservations according to a read command from the control unit 12. The control unit 12 issues a display command to the display unit 16 based on the information, and turns off one of the various displays and the divided reservation display on the display unit 16. When there are four recording reservations and all four divisions of the clock mark are lit, the lights are turned off counterclockwise (counterclockwise) every time there is no reservation. Therefore, the clock mark is not displayed when there are no reservations.

As described above, in the present embodiment, at the time of recording reservation of the video tape recorder, the presence / absence of reservation and the number of reservations are displayed by one divided reservation display (clock mark), so that the reservation state is determined. Can be easily confirmed.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the divided reservation display portion, information such as the presence / absence of reservations and the number of reservations can be graphically discriminated, which facilitates the confirmation. Because it does not use numbers, it improves the aesthetics and
The space of the display unit is widened, and the types of display contents of various displays can be expanded.
