US 7660513 B2Abstract
An image recording/reproducing apparatus which supports recording by memorizing recording requests of a user, and a method thereof. A recording status display table stores a general recording information display part for recording such as a program recording date and a recording start time and a recording result display part for displaying a recording result. A control unit controls the recording status display table to be displayed on a display apparatus. The recording result is recorded and stored in the recording result display part of the corresponding program of the memory, and displayed if requested. As a result, the user may easily confirm the recording status without checking the recorded contents.
This application claims benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2004-46459 filed on Jun. 22, 2004 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention is made to solve the above and/or other problems. One aspect of the present invention provides an image recording and reproducing apparatus which allows the user to easily confirm a reservation recording status and a recording result, and a method thereof.
In addition to the general functions described with reference to FIG. 1, the control unit 50 records a recording status in every recording. That is, when the user sets reservation recording or when the reservation recording time elapses, the control unit 50 creates a recording status display table as shown in FIG. 4, and records and stores the table in the flash ROM 40. The recording status display table 100 is displayed based on reservation recording application dates and time. In detail, the recording status display table 100 comprises a plurality of parts which may also be referred to as fields. The plurality of parts comprises a number display part 120 showing a reservation recording application order, a broadcasting channel display part 130, a reservation recording date display part 140, a reservation recording start time display part 150, an end time display part 160, a recording speed display part 170, a used recording medium display part 180 and a recording status display part 190 showing completion or non-completion of recording. The recording status display table 100 is stored in the flash ROM 40. The number display part 120 is sequentially displayed according to the dates of the reservation recording date display part 140. Where the dates are identical, the number display part 120 may be numbered according to the start time of the recording start time display part 150. As described above, when the recording status display table 100 is stored in the flash ROM 40, the control unit 50 confirms a current time. When the current time is the reservation recording time recorded on the recording status display table 100, the control unit 50 controls the system to start recording, and displays a used recording medium and a recording status on the recording medium display part 180 and the recording status display part 190. That is, completion and non-completion of recording are displayed by ‘O’ and ‘X’. When recording is performed, the control unit 50 displays a kind of recording medium (for example, HDD and DVD) on the recording medium display part 180. When the user applies for reservation recording, if a plurality of recording media exist, the user may select one of the recording media. Although the user selects the DVD as the recording medium, if capacity of the disk is not sufficient, the residual contents are recorded on the HDD 30 and change of the recording medium is displayed ‘>>HDD’ on the recording medium display part 180. When the user requests display of the recording status display table 100 by using a remote controller (not shown) or a setup key (not shown) of the image recording and reproducing apparatus, the control unit 50 reads the recording status display table 100 from the flash ROM 40, and displays it on a display apparatus 85.
The recording status display table 100 will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 4. The recording status display table 100 includes a table heading display part 110 a and a bibliographic details display part 110 b. The table heading display part 110 a comprises a ‘History’ mark implying that the current status table displays a recording status, and appropriate labels which identify the number display part 120 (No.) showing the reservation recording application order, the broadcasting channel display part 130 (Source), the reservation recording date display part 140 (Date), the reservation recording start time display part 150 (Start), the end time display part 160 (End), the recording speed display part 170 (Mode), the used recording medium display part 180 (To), and the recording status display part 190 (Status) showing completion or non-completion of recording. The reservation recording bibliographic details display part 110 b displays information for each item of information identified by the heading display part 110 a in the order of the reservation recording applications of the user, and is divided into a general recording information display part 110 c and a recording result display part 110 d. The general recording information display part 110 c displays general information necessary for recording, and comprises the number display part 120, the broadcasting channel display part 130, the reservation recording date display part 140, the reservation recording start time display part 150 and the end time display part 160.
Where the recording medium is changed during recording, the recording medium display part 180 displays change of the recording medium so that the user can easily confirm the recorded contents. For example, where the user selects the DVD as the recording medium, if a space of a DVD disk is not sufficient, the residual contents are recorded on the HDD 30, and change of the recording medium is displayed, for example, as ‘>>HDD’ on the recording medium display part 180.
The recording status display part 190 displays the recording result of the reservation recording program set by the user. That is, completion of recording is displayed as ‘O’ and non-completion of recording is displayed as ‘X’, so that the user can easily confirm completion or non-completion of recording.
The control unit 50 determines whether the current time is the reservation recording time by comparing the current time with the recording time of the reservation program set by the user, by monitoring the recording status display table 100 stored in the flash ROM 40 at operation S210. When the current time is the reservation recording time, the control unit 50 controls the system to receive the set channel and start recording on the set recording medium at the set speed at operation S220. The control unit 50 determines whether recording is completed according to the set end time at operation S230. When recording is successfully finished, the control unit 50 confirms whether the recording medium was changed during recording at operation S240. Where the recording medium was changed, the control unit 50 displays the changed recording medium on the recording medium display part 180 of the recording status display table 100 stored in the flash ROM 40, and displays and stores completion of recording on the recording status display part 190 thereof at operation S250. In this exemplary embodiment, completion of recording is displayed as ‘O’, and change of the recording medium is display as ‘>>HDD’. When recording is not successfully performed in operation S230, the control unit 50 displays and stores ‘X’ implying non-completion of recording on the recording status display part 190 at operation S270. When recording is completed but the recording medium is not changed in S240, the control unit 50 displays ‘O’ implying completion of recording on the recording status display part 190 and stores the table 100 in the flash ROM 40.
In the table shown in FIG. 3, only examples of completion and non-completion of recording are displayed as ‘O’ and ‘X’. However, if a residual capacity of the recording medium is not enough, or, if recording is intercepted by other factors such as forcible stop by the user, the recording status display part 190 may display more detailed reasons for non-completion of recording by associating other characters with the more detailed reasons. Thereafter, when a display request signal for the recording status display table 100 is input by key operations of the user, the control unit 50 reads the recording status display table 100 from the flash ROM 40, and displays the display table 100 on the display apparatus 85.
