Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display a video recording monitor image and a reproduced image in a clearly understandable way. SOLUTION: A recording and reproducing head 10 records a video signal inputted through a switch 2 on a recording medium 22. The video recording monitor image, the split display screens of the video recording monitor image and the reproduced image and the display state of the reproduced image are switched by a user's single operation from a user interface 20. When both the video recording monitor image and the reproduced image are divided and simultaneously displayed, the screen of the reproduced image is displayed larger than the screen of the video recording monitor image. The video recording monitor image and the reproduced image are displayed so that they can be discriminated.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a video recording and reproducing device for simultaneously recording and reproducing video signals, and in addition, to improve the operating ease of the device. SOLUTION: The video-recoding and reproducing device which can record video signals on a recording medium 93, and in addition, to reproduce the video signals from the medium 93 is provided with a recording means which records the video signals and identification signals, indicating the contents of the video signals on the medium 93; a displaying means which reads out the identification signals recorded on the medium 93, rearranges the identification signals, and displays the identification signals in the rearranged order; and a reproducing means which successively reproduces the video signals from the medium 93 in the rearranged order. The device detects whether vide signals being recorded exist on the medium 93, and when the device detects the presence of the video signals, successively reproduces the video signals to be reproduced when the recording of the video signals ends.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an operator to perform an operation easily without performing an erroneous operation even when videos are simultaneously displayed on a screen of a display device at the time of recording and reproducing simultaneously. SOLUTION: In this remote controller for a recording and reproducing device, which is used in the recording and reproducing device capable of performing the recording of a video on a recording medium, and, also, performing the reproduction of a video from the recording medium, a video recording stopping switch 34 for stopping the recording of a video signal and a reproduction stopping switch 47 for stopping the reproduction, which are arranged on the first surface of the main body 30 of the controller are separated with each other.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the recording capacity of a recording medium effectively utilizable, without significantly increasing the capacity of the medium which is consumed for recording, even when the video recording of a program broadcast a plurality number of times is reserved, and at the same time, to significantly reduce the load of erasing operation imposed upon a user. SOLUTION: A system controller 80 discriminates whether the recorded past broadcast contents of the program are in an erasable state, when the video recording reservation setting information stored in a RAM 84 is updating video recording setting and when the contents are in the erasable state, it erases the recorded contents from hard disks 61-63 and records the latest broadcast contents of the program on the disks 61-63.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance operability in simultaneous recording and reproduction. SOLUTION: A recording and reproducing head 10 records a video signal received through a switch 2 on a recording medium 22. The video recording monitor image, the split display pictures of the video recording monitor image and the reproduced image and the display state of the reproduced image are switched by a user's single operation from a user interface 20. When both the video recording monitor image and the reproduced image are divided and simultaneously displayed, the picture of the reproduced image is displayed larger than the picture of the video recording monitor image. When the picture of the reproduced image is displayed larger than the picture of the video recording monitor image, the user's operation is valid to only the picture of the reproduced image. Thus, the operability for the simultaneous recording and reproduction can be enhanced. This invention is applicable to apparatuses such as recording and reproducing apparatuses.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To indicate the possibility of entry of recording reservation, when a viewer sets the recording reservation of program in a hard disk, by calculating the remaining capacity of the hard disk for reservation in execution of recording reservation. SOLUTION: When recording reservation is set through an operation input part 110, a system controller 80 judges a record which is automatically erased in reserved recording settings stored in a RAM 84 until the execution of the present recording reservation, and compares the remaining capacity of hard disks 61 to 63 at the time of the present recording reservation with a capacity necessary for the present reservation. When the capacity is judged to be short in size, possibility that recording by reservation cannot be made is indicated.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an erroneous recognition rate and to maintain a high recognition rate by dynamically displaying the display data corresponding to the control of an electronic apparatus on a monitor with a reproduction processing means. SOLUTION: This voice recognizing device is constituted of a voice recognition conversion section 13 serving as a voice recognition converting means capable of controlling an electronic apparatus 12 based on a recognized voice signal and a reproduction process section 14 serving as a reproducing means output-controlling the data showing at least the content of a broadcasting program. The reproduction process section 14 has a function for dynamically displaying the display data corresponding to the control of the electronic apparatus 12 on a monitor 11, and a reproducing microprocessor 21 displays the prescribed display data on the monitor 11 based on the voice signal recognized by the voice recognition conversion section 13. Characters 30 compiled by a video IC section 24 are displayed on the monitor 11 of the electronic apparatus 12 as an image signal.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a broadcast program reserving device by voice recognition using an EPG capable of broadcast program reservation by a simple method by inputting a broadcast program name to be reserved with a voice by using broadcast program information such as an EPG. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a voice recognizing/converting means 13 which decodes and recognizes a voice signal inputted from a microphone, and generates a synthesized voice for making a response based on the recognized voice signal, a reproduction processing means 14 which controls the output of data for recognizing at least the contents of a broadcast program to a monitor, and an EPG receiving means 26 which receives broadcast program information. The reproduction processing means 14 compares the broadcast program name of the broadcast program information received by the EPG receiving means 26 with the voice signal recognized by the voice recognizing/ converting part 13, and when they are made coincident, the reproduction processing means 14 obtains the matched broadcast program name and data related with this, that is, data constituted of a broadcasting date, start time, end time, and broadcasting station as broadcast program reservation data.
