Abstract
A combo system includes a play unit to play a signal recorded on a first recording medium and a recording unit to record the signal played by the play unit in a second recording medium. A detector in the combo system detects whether a predetermined still image signal exists within the signal played by the play unit. A controller in the combo system controls the play unit and the recording unit to perform a playing operation and a recording operation, respectively, when the detector detects the still image signal.
Claims41
A combo system having a play unit to play a signal recorded on a first recording medium and a recording unit to record the signal played by the play unit in a second recording medium, comprising:
- a detector to detect whether a predetermined still image signal exists within the signal played by the play unit;
- and
- a controller to control the play unit and the recording unit to perform a playing operation and a recording operation, respectively, when the still image signal is detected by the detector.
An automatic copy method of a combo system provided with a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- playing a signal recorded on a first recording medium using the play unit;
- recording the signal onto a second recording medium using the recording unit;
- detecting whether a predetermined still image signal exists within the signal played by the play unit;
- and
- performing a playing operation of the play unit and a recording operation of the recording unit when the still image signal is detected.
An automatic copy method between a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- playing a signal recorded on a first recording medium using the play unit;
- recording the signal onto a second recording medium using the recording unit;
- detecting whether a predetermined still image signal exists within the signal played by the play unit;
- and
- performing a playing operation of the play unit and a recording operation of the recording unit when the still image signal is detected.
A combo system, comprising:
- a play unit playing video and/or audio signals recorded on a first recording medium;
- a recording unit recording the video and/or audio signals onto a second recording medium;
- a controller detecting a still image signal from the video and/or audio signals played by the play unit;
- and
- an OSD block adding an OSD function to the video signals and generating video images, wherein the video images generated by the OSD block are added to the video signals from the recording unit.
An automatic copy method in which a user copies data recorded on a first recording medium on a second recording medium, the method comprising:
- selecting a copy command signal from a data processing menu;
- playing data recorded on the first recording medium in response to the copy command signal;
- recording the data onto the second recording medium;
- detecting a start point of a menu data among the data recorded on the first recording medium;
- detecting a menu selection signal to select data from the menu data;
- playing the selected data from the menu data;
- recording the selected data on the second recording medium;
- and
- detecting a play completion signal.
A combo system having a play unit to play a signal recorded on a first recording medium and a recording unit to record the signal played by the play unit in a second recording medium, comprising:
- a detector detecting a still image signal from video and/or audio signals;
- and
- a controller preventing the still video signal from being continuously recorded.
A combo system having a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- a detector detecting a still image or a menu image and generating a detection signal indicative thereof;
- and
- a controller controlling the play unit to perform a play operation to reproduce data different from the detected still image or menu image in response to the detection signal.
An apparatus in a DVD play unit having a recording medium, comprising:
- a detector detecting a still image or a menu image and generating a detection signal indicative thereof;
- and
- a controller controlling the DVD play unit to perform a play operation in response to the detection signal.
An apparatus in a DVD play unit having a recording medium, comprising:
- a detector detecting a still image or a menu image recorded on the recording medium to generate a detection signal;
- and
- a controller controlling the DVD play unit to perform a play operation to reproduce data different from the detected still image or menu image from the recording medium in response to the detection signal.
A method of a combo system having a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- detecting a still image or a menu image and generating a detection signal indicative thereof;
- and
- controlling the play unit to perform a play operation to reproduce data different from the detected still image or menu image in response to the detection signal.
A method of a DVD play unit having a recording medium, comprising:
- detecting a still image or a menu image and generating a detection signal indicative thereof;
- and
- controlling the DVD play unit to perform a play operation in response to the detection signal.
A method of a DVD play unit having a recording medium, comprising:
- detecting a still image or a menu image recorded on the recording medium to generate a detection signal;
- and
- controlling the DVD play unit to perform a play operation to reproduce data different from the detected still image or menu image from the recording medium in response to the detection signal.
