Description

The present invention relates to a timer device suitable for use with audio equipment, video equipment and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, timer devices such as audio equipment and video equipment have a timer section, a timer time setting section, and a detection section for detecting a match between the time measured by the timer section and the timer time set in the timer time setting section. Then, the timer time setting unit specifies other channels such as the execution start time and the execution end time as the timer time, the date or the day of the week, and the like, and the detection unit detects the coincidence between the measured time and the timer time. It works as a timer.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In such a conventional timer device, for example, 23:00
If you set to start recording at 23 minutes and end at 23:30, try to shift the recording start time and recording end time as timer time by 20 minutes without changing the recording time of 30 minutes. Then, in addition to the timer time, it was necessary to specify the channel, the date or the day of the week again, which was very troublesome.

In view of the above points, the present invention proposes a user-friendly one that can shift the timer time by an arbitrary time with a simple operation.

The timer device of the present invention sets a timer means (11), a plurality of timer times, and a timer time setting means (9) (10) having a plurality of timer memories corresponding to the set timer times, and the timer means. In a timer device having a time measuring time (11) and a detecting means (9) for detecting a plurality of timer times respectively set in the timer memory (9), a plurality of predetermined timer times in the timer memory The selection means (10) for selecting, the shift time setting means (9) (10) for setting the shift time, and the shift time of the shift time setting means (9) (10) by the selection means (10). Time adding means for adding to the selected timer time
(9) is provided, and the timer time selecting means (9) and (10) use the timer time added by the time adding means (9) as a new timer time,
It is designed to be set for (9).

[Action]

According to such a configuration, the shift time is set in the shift time setting means, and the shift time and the timer time set in the timer time setting means are added by the adding means,
This addition output is newly set as the timer time of the timer time setting means.

Further, (11) indicates a clock section, and this clock section (11) is connected to the micro computer (9) so that the clock time of the clock section (11) can be detected by the micro computer (9). The timekeeping time of the timekeeping section (11) is displayed on the display device (12).

Now, the timer set control in the microcomputer (9) will be further described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 2 and the block diagram shown in FIG. 3 showing its function.

When the timer set is specified by the key matrix device (10), the block (9a) indicates which one of the four timer memories A, B, C or D of the timer time setting means is to be set. It is processed and it is judged whether to shift the timer time to the timer memory of the timer time setting means selected in block (9b) .If the timer time is not shifted, the timer time set in block (9c). Processing is done. That is, in the timer time set processing routine, the block (9d) is controlled so that the display device (12) blinks "What is the ON time?", And the block (9e) is controlled by the key matrix device (10). Execution start time input processing is performed for the timer time setting means, and the display device (12) is displayed on the block (9f).
Is controlled so that "OFF time is?"
At the block (9g), the keymatrix device (10) performs the input processing of the execution end time for the timer time setting means, and at the block (9h), the display device (12) blinks "CH number?". The control is performed, and the block (9i) performs the channel number input processing from the key matrix device (10) to the timer time setting means.

If it is determined that the timer time is to be shifted with respect to the timer memory of the timer time setting means selected in block (9b), the timer time shift process is performed in block (9j). That is, in the timer time shift processing routine, it is judged whether or not the timer time is set in the timer memory selected by the timer time setting means in the block (9k) .If the timer time is not set, the block (9l ), Error processing is done, and if the timer time is set, block (9m)
Is displayed on the display device (12), and the keymatrix device is displayed on the block (9n).
