The apparatus comprises a microcomputer, a capstan motor and a loading motor, a program switch of a rotary type, a deck and a motor driving portion.
Claims7
An apparatus, for expanding and controlling multifunctional states of a recording medium-handling mechanism in a multifunctional electronic using a machinery recording medium, said apparatus comprising:
- a microcomputer for controlling a recorder system;
- a capstan motor and a loading motor for making a recorder interval of a recording medium run;
- a rotary type program switch including multiple detecting contact plates for supplying multiple logic signals having different logic values according to respective positions contacted and checked by a brush rotated by said loading motor to said microcomputer, the brush being connected to the program switch;
- a deck including a starting sensor and an ending sensor for detecting starting and ending points of the recording medium, and supplying detection signals to said microcomputer, and
- motor driving means for driving said motors under the control of said microcomputer, whereby said microcomputer instructs said motor driving means according to the output logic value of said program switch of a rotary type and said detection signals of said starting and ending sensors to control said capstan motor and said loading motor.
A method for expanding and controlling multifunctional states of recording medium-handling mechanism having a microcomputer for controlling a recording system, a deck which includes a rotary type program switch, a capstan motor, a starting sensor, an ending sensor, said starting and ending sensors detecting starting and ending points of the recording medium, a loading motor, and a motor driving portion, comprising the steps of:
- a position check process in which said microcomputer checks where the present state of the mechanism is located among multiple states of the mechanism according to output logic values of said program switch and output logic values of said starting and ending sensors;
- and
- a position convert process in which said microcomputer converts the present state of the mechanism into a next state of the mechanism according to each state of the mechanism by driving the capstan motor and the loading motor within said deck by said motor driving portion after said position check process is performed.
A method for expanding and controlling multifunctional states of recording medium-handling mechanism having a microcomputer for controlling a recording system, a deck which includes a rotary type program switch, a capstan motor, a starting sensor, an ending sensor, a loading motor, and a motor driving portion, comprising the steps of;
- a position check process in which said microcomputer checks where the present state of the mechanism is located among multiple states of the mechanism according to output logic values of said program switch;
- and
- a position convert process in which said microcomputer converts the present state of the mechanism into a next state of the mechanism according to each state of the mechanism by driving the capstan motor and the loading motor within said deck by said motor driving portion after said position check process is performed, wherein said position convert process includes:
- a first position convert process in which said microcomputer converts the present position into the unload position when a state of the mechanism is at a pause position, a pinch roller driving position, a playback position, a picture still position, an operation stop position or a REW position during said position check process;
- an initializing confirm process in which said microcomputer instructs said motor driving portion to stop the loading motor and the capstan motor when a state of the mechanism is said unload position during dais position check process;
- a second position convert process in which said microcomputer converts the present position into an eject position when a state of the mechanism is at a short F/R position during said position check process;
- a first false position check process in which said microcomputer checks whether the present position is an eject position and checks whether said eject position is a false position and, in case of being false, performs said first position convert process;
- and
- a second false position check process in which said microcomputer checks whether the present position is an FF/REW position and checks whether said FF/REW position is a false position and, in case of being false, performs said second position convert process and, in case of being true, performs said first position convert process.
