Abstract
Input programming data items are recorded into a memory contained in an apparatus. That one of the programming data items recorded in the memory, which is requested to be recorded in a recording medium, is read from the memory, transferred to the recording medium and recorded thereon. Programming data for usual record programming and for record programming using a specified recording medium can be managed in a centralized manner by referring to the programming data items recorded in the memory.
Claims10
A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus wherein the input programming data is recorded on the recording medium inserted in the apparatus, and also in a memory contained in the apparatus.
A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
- programming data recording means for recording input programming data items in a memory contained in the apparatus;
- and
- programming data record control means for reading that one of the programming data items recorded in the memory by the programming data recording means, which is requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, thereby transferring it to the recording medium and recording it thereon,
- and the programming data item read from the memory and transferred onto the recording medium by the programming data record control means is also maintained in the memory.
A recording/reproducing method having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
- recording the input programming data on the recording medium inserted in the apparatus, and in a memory contained in the apparatus.
A recording/reproducing method having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a programming data recording step of recording input programming data items into a memory contained in the apparatus;
- and
- a programming data record control step of reading that one of the programming data items recorded in the memory at the programming data recording step, which is requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, thereby transferring it to the recording medium and recording it thereon,
- and the programming data item read from the memory and transferred onto the recording medium at the programming data record control step is also maintained in the memory.
