摘要:
An apparatus for remotely controlling audio/video devices from different manufacturers. First code signals are directly input to the remote controller apparatus when it is in a learning mode by way of a cable or an infrared light-emitting unit from a peripheral audio/video device. The first code signals are stored in specified locations of a conversion table in the lookup table memory. Second code signals are input to the remote controller apparatus when it is in a conversion mode from another audio/video apparatus by way of a cable or an infrared light-emitting unit. The second code signals represent command control functions. The conversion of the second code signals to third control signals is accomplished by a microprocessor using the conversion table containing the first code signals. The third code signals are output from the remote controller apparatus to control a peripheral audio/video device. Also, there is disclosed an audio/video combination system using the remote controller apparatus.

The invention provides a broadcasting signal receiver which can prevent a failure in reserved recording. A microcomputer decodes a VCR+code of a program desired to be recorded by reservation, which is inputted by way of a remote commander or the like, to obtain data of program starting and ending times and channel information. A channel indicated by the channel information is selected by a tuner circuit, and program table data is extracted from a character broadcasting signal multiplexed in a video signal by a decoder. It is discriminated whether or not one of the program starting times of programs included in the program table data coincides with the program starting time obtained by decoding of the VCR+code. A result of the discrimination is displayed on a monitor television. Only when it is discriminated that a coincident program starting time is present, the data of the program starting and ending times and the channel information are written into a reservation memory and registered for reservation. Recording is started when the program label (program starting time) extracted from the video signal by the decoder coincides with the program starting time of the reservation memory.
摘要:
[Object] To reproduce a plurality of video contents recorded on a recording medium on one screen and select and reproduce any of the video contents without using a plurality of dedicated decoders.[Solving Means] A recording/reproducing apparatus (100) reads single angle videos (21) that are shot from a plurality of angles and a multi-angle video (22) obtained by performing authoring on those single angle videos (21) so as to be reproducible on one screen from a BD-ROM (10), combines a time-line operation bar (61) and a cursor (66) with the multi-angle video (22), and displays a multi-angle screen (60). When an operation of selecting a single angle video (21) on which the cursor (66) is positioned is performed on the multi-angle screen (60), the single angle video (21) is reproduced in full screen based on a time code at a time when the selection operation is made. When an operation of pressing a multi-angle key (23) is performed during the full-screen reproduction, the multi-angle screen (60) is reproduced again based on a time code at a time when the press operation is made.

[Object] To download, even when a recording medium having content recorded thereon is not inserted in an electronic apparatus, subcontent related to the content.[Solving Means] With a BD-ROM inserted in a recording/reproducing apparatus 100, a resident application in the recording/reproducing apparatus 100 reads metadata stored in the BD-ROM and stores the metadata in a disc library DB 34. When a BD-ROM is not inserted in the recording/reproducing apparatus 100, the resident application downloads the latest trailer from a content server 22 based on a URL of the content server 22 included in the metadata stored in the disc library DB 34, and then stores the latest trailer in a local storage 8. Accordingly, even when a BD-ROM is not inserted, the resident application can reproduce, via a disc library 30, the latest trailer stored in the local storage 8.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus is provided whereby digital content can be viewed more comfortably and conveniently. A category information transmitter transmits, to a server, category information expressing one or more content categories associated with a recording medium loaded into the apparatus. A recommendation list presentation unit then receives and presents a recommendation list showing a server-generated list of content associated with the category information. The user selects content from the recommendation list. A selection information transmitter accepts the selection of content and then transmits, to the server, information specifying the selected content.

A content reproduction method is provided. First, a broadcast program having a program content is received and electronic program guide data including program information on the broadcast program is received. Then, a content corresponding to the program content of the broadcast program is retrieved from a network based on the electronic program guide data. Finally, identification information identifying the content is displayed with the program information.

A program-display control apparatus can display information on each of a plurality of programs in a state that can be recognized by the user with ease without regard to the display configuration of the display data of the program. A display-configuration modification unit changes the display configurations of the program table of a BS digital broadcast, the program table of a ground wave broadcast, and a WEB program table into a new display configuration which increases the amount of information on the programs without regard to the display configuration of each of the programs. Furthermore, a program-table creation unit creates display data according to the new display configuration and outputs the display data.
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.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus in which recording preset information, constituted by a recording start time and a recording end time, is stored for each preset program to be unattended recorded. If there is any overlap between the recording start times and the recording end times of the preset programs that are to be recorded, a warning is generated; and the overlapping preset programs are prioritized for unattended recording.
