Abstract:
1. A method for preset-recording a song provided through a music channel by using Present and Follow (P/F) information in a digital multimedia broadcasting receiver, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting, by a central processing unit, a control signal to instruct a multimedia module that a preset recording for a next song has been set; measuring, by a timer included in the multimedia module, a time period elapsed from a first time point at which P/F information is updated while a current song is played, when recording is preset, and calculating a first interval time by subtracting the first time point from an ending time of the currently-played song; starting, by a multimedia controller included in the multimedia module, recording of a next-played song, when the time period measured from the first time point reaches the first calculated interval time; measuring, by the timer, a time period elapsed from a second time point at which P/F information is updated during preset recording, and calculating a second interval time by subtracting the second time point from an ending time of the song being preset recorded; and ending, by the multimedia controller, recording of the song being preset-recorded, when the time period measured from the second time point reaches the second calculated interval time.
