Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Recording reservation end when the broadcast time of the program being recorded has been extended and the end time has been changed, or when there is an error in the input of the end time before the start of recording. Make it easy to set time extension. [Structure] When it is recognized that the recording end time is set incorrectly, or when the program broadcast end time is extended after the recording is started, the extension setting unit 8 is operated. When the extension setting unit 8 is pressed once, the recording end time is extended by 15 minutes. For example, when the program is extended by 1 hour, 4
Press the button twice to complete the change of the recording end time.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention controls the operation of a controlled device at a position distant from a controlled device such as a magnetic recording / reproducing device, and is effective when used for reserved recording setting of the magnetic recording / reproducing device. The present invention relates to a remote control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, remote control devices have been used in audio equipment, magnetic recording / reproducing devices, etc., and have been widely used for recording video or audio.

A remote control device that can be used in a conventional magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the structure of a conventional remote controller. In FIG. 2, 1 is a CH setting unit for setting a recording channel, 2 is a day setting unit for setting a recording day, 3 is a start time setting unit for setting a recording start time, and 4 is an end time setting for setting a recording end time. Part 5 is 1 to above
A microcomputer which generates a recording reservation signal according to the information set by each setting unit 4 and a remote controller 6 having these configurations. A video tape recorder (hereinafter referred to as VTR) 7 is a controlled device.

The operation of the conventional remote controller constructed as described above will be described below.

First, as a general recording reservation setting method, the channel of the program for which recording reservation is desired is input in the CH setting section 1, and the recording day of the week is set in the day setting section 2. Then, the recording start time and the end time are input in the start time setting unit 3 and the end time setting unit 4. The respective set data are transmitted to the VTR 7 via the microcomputer 5, and the recording reservation is completed.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, when the broadcast time of the program being recorded is extended and the end time is changed, or there is an error in the input of the end time before the start of recording. However, when the user tries to change the end time, it is necessary to cancel the set recording reservation data and set the reservation data again, which is very complicated.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a remote control device capable of easily changing the reservation end time.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a remote control device capable of recording reservation setting, including a channel setting unit for setting a recording channel and a day setting unit for setting a recording day. A start time setting unit for setting the recording start time and an end time setting unit for setting the recording end time, and an extension setting unit for extending and setting the recording end time set by the end time setting unit It is a thing.

[0010]

With the above arrangement, even if the end time of the broadcast program is extended, the reservation end time can be easily changed by operating the extension setting section.

[0011]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the remote control device of this embodiment. In FIG. 1, 1 is a CH setting unit for setting a recording channel, 2 is a day setting unit for setting a recording day, 3 is a start time setting unit for setting a recording start time,
Reference numeral 4 is an end time setting section for setting a recording end time, 5 is a microcomputer for generating a recording reservation signal according to the information set in each of the setting sections 1 to 4, and 6 is a remote controller having these configurations. A video tape recorder (hereinafter referred to as VTR) 7 is a controlled device. An extension setting unit 8 sets an extension time.

The operation of the remote control device of this embodiment constructed as described above will be described below.

First, as a general recording reservation setting method, a channel of a program to be reserved for recording is set by the CH setting section 1, and a recording day of the week is set by the day setting section 2. Then, the recording start time and the end time are set by the start time setting unit 3 and the end time setting unit 4. The respective set data are transmitted to the VTR 7 via the microcomputer 5, and the recording reservation is completed.

At this time, if it is noticed that the recording end time is set incorrectly, or if the program broadcast end time is extended after the recording is started, the extension setting section 8 is operated. When the extension setting unit 8 is pressed once, the recording end time is extended by 15 minutes. For example, when the program is extended by 1 hour, when the program is extended 4 times, the recording end time is changed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the extension setting section 8 which can set the extension of the recording end time in 15-minute increments is provided, it is possible to easily extend the recording end time.

In this embodiment, the extension time for each operation of the extension setting unit 8 is set to 15 minutes, but the extension time is not limited to this.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, a channel setting unit for setting a recording channel, a day setting unit for setting a recording day, a start time setting unit for setting a recording start time, and a recording end time are set. And an end time setting unit that
By providing an extension setting part that can be set by extending the recording end time set in the end time setting part, if the end time is changed or the broadcast time of the program being recorded is extended, it will end before the recording starts. This has an excellent effect that the extension setting of the recording reservation end time can be easily performed when it is noticed that the time input is incorrect.
