    Abstract: PURPOSE:To remove complexity for user's time setting by automatically setting up the time of an internal clock. CONSTITUTION:This broadcasting signal receiver is provided with a cable box 1 for receiving a CATV signal and selecting its channel and a video cassette recorder(VCR) 2. When power for the VCR 2 is turned off, the box 1 is turned on by a remote control signal outputted from an infrared-ray light emitting part 4 under the control of a microcomputer 22 to select the channel of a broadcasting signal to which VBI data are multiplexed. A data decoder 21 extracts the VBI data by an output video signal from a tuner 20, decodes the signal and supplies the decoded signal to the microcomputer 22. The microcomputer 22 extracts time data from the VBI data and sets up the time of the internal clock of the VCR 2 included in itself to the time based upon the extracted time data. Consequently the internal clock of the VCR 2 is automatically set up in each power off of the VCR 2, so that complexity for user's time setting can be removed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the user-friendliness of a recording apparatus in the case of making recording reservation of programs of a determined group such as a serial program. SOLUTION: In a broadcast program recording method, at least programs of a first group and programs of a second group detected on the basis of program data are reserved when the recording of broadcast programs is reserved on the basis of the program data for guiding programs broadcast by a prescribed broadcast service and the recording is executed on the basis of the reservation, to light up a first lighting means 141 when the recording is executed by the reservation of the programs of the first group, and lights up a second lighting means 142 when the recording is executed by the reservation of the programs of the second group. Further, when either of the respective groups is reproduced, the corresponding lighting means 141 or 142 is turned off. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording method and an apparatus capable of simply making recording reservation or the like when a tuner of a separate unit is connected to the recording apparatus. SOLUTION: The recording apparatus is provided with: a tuner 101 for receiving a broadcast signal of a prescribed channel; input terminals 131, 132 for external signals; a switching means 110 for selecting a signal received by the tuner or the signal received at the input terminals; a recording means 105 for recording the signal selected by the switching means; and a control means 121 for reserving the recording by the recording means on the basis of a preset condition, executing the recording of the signal selected by the switching means when a reserved time comes, and allowing the switching means to select the input terminal when the reserved channel is a channel other than those receivable by the tuner.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a program data processing method capable of simply coping with every revision in the case where electronic program guide data are acquired and the recording of a serial program which is broadcast almost periodically is reserved. SOLUTION: In the case of reserving the recording of a particular program which is almost periodically broadcast, whether or not the particular program is broadcast on a date and time of the periodical broadcasting is searched on the basis of the program data. When the particular program is broadcast, the recording on the date and time is reserved. When the particular program is not broadcast on the date and time of the periodical broadcasting, whether the particular program is broadcast within a range of a prescribed time width with respect to the date and time of the periodical broadcasting is searched on the basis of the program data, and when the particular program is found to be broadcast, the recording on the searched date and time is reserved.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To automatically detect the channel (the additional information channel) of a broadcasting signal containing additional information such as time information. CONSTITUTION:When first setting the time of the internal clock of a VCR 2, under the control of a microcomputer 22, a remote control signal is generated from a light emitting part 4, and the tuning channel of a tuner 12 is successively changed. When there are VBI data in the output video signal of a tuner 20, the tuning channel at that time is stored in a memory 30 as a VBI channel (the additional information channel) and further, when there is the time information (the VBI data to extract time data), by extracting the time data, the time of the internal clock of the VCR 2 provided at the microcomputer 22 is set. When setting the time later, the microcomputer 22 remotely controls the tuner 12 so as to perform tuning within the range of the VBI channel stored in the memory 30.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To excellently perform processing when automatic recording reservation such as series reservation overlaps with the other recording reservation. SOLUTION: The recording method includes first recording reservation processing for detecting a program matched with the preset conditions from program data for guiding programs to be broadcasted in a predetermined broadcasting service, and for reserving recording of the detected broadcasting program, and second recording reservation processing for reserving recording of a broadcasting program through processing different from the detection of the program from the program data and when there is the second recording reservation processing, whether or not it overlaps with a time zone reserved by the first recording reservation processing is judged. When there is the overlapping reservation, it is notified, only selected any one recording reservation is set, and the other recording reservation is erased. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the degradation of performance by controlling the tuning frequency, based on the tuning frequency of a stored memory card. SOLUTION: An antenna 31 transmits and receives a prescribed carrier to transmit a prescribed signal to a memory card and to perform the communication with the memory card. A tuning circuit 32 extracts the carrier frequency used for the communication between the memory card and a reader/writer 2 from the signals supplied from the antenna 31. A microcomputer 36 controls every part according to the control programs which are stored in a ROM 38 and also controls the capacity of a variable capacitor contained in the circuit 32 based on the tuning frequency data which are supplied via a communication control circuit 35 i.e., controls the tuning frequency. It's possible to control the variable capacitor by making the microcomputer 36 read out the capacitance value of a capacitor corresponding to the tuning frequency data which are previously stored in the ROM 38.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent confusion at a repetitional reserving time by providing two reserve means video record reserving by either one between inputs of an electronic program guide or a recording time and a recording channel and imparting priority to either one. SOLUTION: This recorder is provided with a first reserve means inputting a channel video signal to a μconB 7 through a tuner 2, separating and decoding the electronic program guide data to display it through a display circuit 7-2 and a switch 11 and selecting a video recording reserve program by operation of a remote controller 4 and a second reserve means controlling the display circuit 10 by a μconA 5 to display a video recording reserve picture from the video signal through the switch 11 and displaying a video recording date, a recording time, a recording channel through the A 5 and the circuit 10. At this time, when the priority is imparted to the first reserve means, though both means reserve the program of the same date and the same time, the reserve of the second means is canceled, and a video recording circuit 6 executes the video recording reserve of the first means, and the confusion is prevented.
