摘要:
An apparatus and method for controlling the recording of television programs are disclosed. The apparatus displays electronic program guide information superposed on a television signal. The apparatus allows a plurality of desired programs to be reserved for recording based on the electronic program guide information. An icon is continuously displayed on a television screen in connection with the television picture signal when a program is reserved for recording. An altered form of the icon may be displayed on the television screen when execution of recording the reserved program is impossible due to a specific condition of a recording medium for recording the program. A corresponding method is described.

A reproducing device provided with at least a reproduction apparatus and a decoding apparatus with decoding transmitted electronic program guide data is provided, and includes a switcher for switching between an antenna received signal and an internally generated signal, and a channel switcher for switching a channel of a display apparatus. When an electronic program guide display request is made, the switcher is automatically switched to the internally generated signal, which is then output on a predetermined channel having a predetermined frequency. Additionally, the channel of the display apparatus to which the internally generated signal is applied is also automatically switched to the predetermined channel number having the predetermined frequency by the channel switcher thus to allow for the display of the electronic program guide. The invention is similarly applicable to a reproduction device also having a recording feature.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for controlling the recording of television programs are disclosed. The apparatus displays electronic program guide information superposed on a television signal. The apparatus allows a plurality of desired programs to be reserved for recording based on the electronic program guide information. If any of the reserved programs overlap, the apparatus allows the starting time and/or ending time of any of the overlapped programs to be changed. The apparatus may permit a program to be reserved for recording by inputting recording time and recording channel. If a program reserved for recording based on the electronic program guide information overlaps a program reserved for recording by inputting recording time and recording channel, a preferential setting enables one of the overlapped programs to be recorded. The apparatus advantageously causes an icon to be continuously displayed on a television screen in connection with the television picture signal when a program is reserved for recording. A corresponding method is described.
摘要:
The video cassette recorder selects channels in succession, determines the presence or absence of additional information included in the broadcast signal for the selected channel, and stores the selected channel regarded as a reception channel for the additional information when detecting the presence of the additional information in the broadcast signal. Further, the recorder extracts station identification information included in the broadcast signal for the selected channel, provides a VCR Plus guide channel corresponding to the station identified by the station identification information, and stores in its memory the relationship between the selected channel and the VCR Plus guide channel. Moreover, the recorder compares a remaining recording time available with the program continuation time extracted from the broadcast signal, and controls a recording speed mode appropriately based on the comparison.
摘要:
Broadcast signal receiver which has an internal clock controls an internal or external tuner which receives a plurality of broadcast signals to tune to a predetermined broadcast signal which includes time data indicating a local time. The broadcast signal tuned to is supplied as a tuned output signal. The time data is extracted from the tuned output signal and the internal clock of the broadcast signal receiver is automatically set to the local time indicated by the time data.

MPEG video encoders and MPEG audio encoders encode video signals and audio signals, respectively. An SI/EPG data generator generates program information. A transport stream multiplexer multiplexes the program information with video data and audio data. A system controller controls the data output rates of the encoding operations and the multiplexing ratio.

摘要:
An information processing apparatus includes: a recording and reproduction control unit that records content on a predetermined recording medium and that reads and reproduces content from the predetermined recording medium, wherein the recording and reproduction control unit transmits and records information necessary for reproducing deleted content to a different information processing apparatus when it is intended to delete the content as a deletion target recorded on the predetermined recording medium, and synthesizes and reproduces the deleted content on the basis of the information from the different information processing apparatus when it is instructed to reproduce the deleted content.

摘要:
A transmit device and method, a record/play device and method, a record system as well as a media allowing selection of the ideal record media by the receiver. The EPG data generator of a transmit device generates an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) showing the scheduled transmission of the program to be broadcast. An editor generates supplemental information containing information indicating the program data quantity, adds the supplemental information to the EPG and a multiplexer transmits the EPG added with the supplemental information.
摘要:
Radio waves transmitted from the antenna of a broadcasting station are received by the antenna of a television receiver. The television receiver extracts an EPG from the received radio waves and transmits it to a remote controller via an infrared transmission/reception section. The remote controller displays the received EPG on a LCD and is then rendered in a state of waiting for selection of a program. If some program is selected and then a reserve button is manipulated, the remote controller transmits a control command for a recording reservation to a video tape recorder. The video tape recorder receives the control command with an infrared transmission/reception section, whereby the recording reservation of the designated program is set.
