Abstract

Method for programming a receiver, in particular a video recorder, for receiving and/or recording specific transmissions. The text lines (17) which indicate the individual transmissions are modified at successive times in each case for a specific time period in a way which is recognisable for the operator. The instruction for the input of the codes of the transmission of the modified text line (17c) is triggered during the associated time period. As a result, the separate mark used in the main application is no longer required. <IMAGE>

Description

Verfahren zur Programmierung eines Empfängers, Procedure for programming a receiver,

insbesondere eines Videorecorders, Zusatz zu P 33 35 082.5 Die Hauptanmeldung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Programmierung eines Empfängers, insbesondere eines Videorecorders, auf Empfang und/oder Aufzeichnung bestimmter Sendungen, bei dem Kennwerte wie Sendeanstalt, Wochentag, Anfangs- und Endzeit in einen Speicher des Empfängers eingegeben werden. in particular a video recorder, addition to P 33 35 082.5 The main application relates to a method for programming a receiver, in particular a video recorder, on the reception and / or recording of certain programs, for which parameters such as the broadcaster, Day of the week, start and end time can be entered into a memory of the receiver.

Der Erfindung nach der Hauptanmeldung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Programmierung eines Empfängers zu schaffen, das ohne Hilfsmittel wie z.B. Barcodes in einer Funkzeitschrift und Lichtgriffel arbeitet und auch von einer ungeübten Person leicht durchführbar ist.The invention according to the main application is based on the object to create a method of programming a receiver that does not require any tools such as barcodes in a radio magazine and light pen works and also from can be easily carried out by an inexperienced person.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß bei Empfang eines Videotextsignals für Tafeln mit Programmanzeige in einem Fernsehempfänger mit Videotextdecoder auf dem Bildschirm eine vom Bedienenden auf die gewünschte Sendung einstellbare Markierung eingeblendet und danach ein Befehl ausgelöst wird, der die Eingabe der Kennwerte dieser Sendung in den Speicher bewirkt.This object is achieved in that when a teletext signal is received for boards with program display in a television receiver with a teletext decoder a marker on the screen that can be set by the operator for the desired program faded in and then a command is triggered that allows the input of the characteristic values causes this broadcast in the memory.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Verfahren nach der Hauptanmeldung so weiterzubilden, daß die Einblendung einer zusätzlichen Markierung auf dem Bildschirm nicht erforderlich ist.The present invention is based on the object of the method after the main application so that the insertion of an additional Marking on the screen is not required.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 beschriebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the invention described in claim 1 solved. Advantageous further developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird also nicht eine zu sätzliche Markierung vor den Schriftzeilen eingeblendet.In the solution according to the invention is not an additional Marking displayed in front of the text lines.

Vielmehr melden sich die einzelnen Schriftzeilen für den Bedienenden erkennbar zeitlich nacheinander für einen bestimmten Zeitraum. Wenn während dieses Zeitraums der Befehl für die Eingabe der Kennwerte manuell ausgelöst wird, so werden die Kennwerte der Sendung dieser modifizierten Schriftzeile in den Speicher eingegeben. Der Bedienende muß zwar warten, bis die Schriftzeile der gewünschten Sendung nach dem zeitlichen Zyklus selbsttätig modifiziert wird. Dies ist jedoch kein Nachteil, da ohnehin auf einer Schrifttafel nur wenige Sendungen dargestellt werden und der Zeitraum für die Dauer der Markierung nur wenige Sekunden zu betragen braucht. Wenn der Bedienende die Auslösung des Befehls für die Programmierung während des Zeitraumes der gewünschten Sendung verpaßt, kann er die Programmierung beim nächsten zyklischen Durchlauf der Modifizierung der Schriftzeilen nachholen.Rather, the individual lines of text report to the operator recognizable one after the other for a certain period of time. If during this Period of time the command for entering the characteristic values is triggered manually the characteristic values of the transmission of this modified line of text are entered into the memory. The operator must wait until the text line of the desired program after is automatically modified according to the time cycle. However, this is not a disadvantage since only a few programs are shown on a written board anyway and the Time period for the duration of the marking only needs to be a few seconds. if the operator initiates the command for programming during the period missed the desired program, he can program the next cyclic Make up for the modification of the lines of text.

Für den Zeitraum reicht eine Zeit in dLr Größenordnung von 2 - 8 s, da der Bedienende im allgemeinen schon weiß, welche Sendung er programmieren möchte und die Auslösung des Befehls nur durch Betätigung einer Taste erfolgen kann.A time in the order of 2 - 8 s is sufficient for the period, since the operator generally already knows which program he would like to program and the command can only be triggered by pressing a button.

Für die Modifizierung der Schriftzeilen in dem Sinne, daß sich jeweils eine Schriftzeile von den anderen erkennbar abhebt, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten. Die Modifizierung kann dadurch erfolgen, daß die Farbe der Schriftzeichen geändert wird und sich von der Farbe der übrigen Schriftzeilen abhebt. Die Schriftzeile kann auch zum Blinken veranlaßt, gesperrt gedruckt, unterstrichen oder in Zeilenrichtung gegenüber den anderen Schriftzeilen versetzt geschrieben werden. Es ist auch möglich, die Form oder Größe der Schriftzeilen zu beeinflussen. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Modifizierung nur für die Uhrzeit, weil diese für den Bedienenden ausreicht und die Uhrzeit das Hauptkriterium für die Programmierung ist.For the modification of the text lines in the sense that each one line of text stands out clearly from the others, there are a multitude of possibilities. The modification can be done by changing the color of the characters and contrasts with the color of the other lines of text. The text line can also made to blink, blocked, underlined or in line direction be written offset from the other lines of text. It is also possible, the shape or To influence the size of the lines of text. Preferably the modification is only made for the time because this is sufficient for the operator and the time is the main criterion for programming.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand der Zeichnung erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

Die Figur zeigt einen Fernsehempfänger 1 mit dem Bildschirm 2, der Lautsprecheröffnung 3, dem Fernbedienungsempfänger 4, den Anzeigeelementen 5 und den Bedienungselementen 6. Der Fernsehempfänger 1 ist mit einem Videotextdecoder ausgerüstet. Auf dem Bildschirm 2 werden durch Auswertung eines Videotextsignals für Programmtafeln in einzelnen Schriftzeilen 17 verschiedene Sendungen eines bestimmten Tages und einer bestimmten Sendeanstalt angezeigt.The figure shows a television receiver 1 with the screen 2, the Loudspeaker opening 3, the remote control receiver 4, the display elements 5 and the controls 6. The television receiver 1 is equipped with a teletext decoder equipped. On the screen 2 by evaluating a teletext signal for program boards in individual lines of writing 17 different programs of a certain Day and a specific broadcaster.

Der Fernsehempfänger 1 ist mit der Fernbedieneinheit 7 durch Betätigung verschiedener Bedienungselemente 8 über den Infrarot-Lichtstrahl 9 und den Fernbedienungsempfänger 4 hinsichtlich seiner einzelnen Funktionen fernbedienbar.On the basis of the displayed data, for example, the programming could be done in a known manner of a video recorder by manual entry. of this data. The television receiver 1 is with the remote control unit 7 by actuating various controls 8 via the infrared light beam 9 and the remote control receiver 4 with regard to its individual functions can be controlled remotely.

Durch eine zusätzliche Steuerschaltung werden die einzelnen Schriftzeilen 17 zeitlich nacheinander jeweils für einen Zeitraum von etwa 2 - 8 s modifiziert, derart, daß sie sich für den Bedienenden deutlich von allen übrigen Schriftzeilen unterscheiden. In der Figur ist die dritte Schriftzeile mit 17c der Uhrzeit 21.15 Uhr dadurch modifiziert und erkennbar, daß die Uhrzeit nach links versetzt geschrieben wird. Während der Zeit dieser Versetzung betätigt der Bedienende die Taste 14. Daraufhin werden die Kennwerte der Sendung der Schriftzeile 17c automatisch in den Speicher eingegeben.The individual lines of text are controlled by an additional control circuit 17 modified one after the other for a period of about 2 - 8 s, in such a way that it is clearly distinguishable from all other lines of text for the operator differentiate. In the figure, the third line of text with 17c is the time 21.15 Clock modified and recognizable by the fact that the time was written offset to the left will. During the time of this transfer, the operator presses key 14. Thereupon become the characteristic values the transmission of the writing line 17c automatically entered into memory.
