Abstract
A method of arranging divided recording area segments of a recording medium in a broadcast receiving system having a random access storage device. In the method, a circular buffer area is disposed in a first predetermined position of the recording medium, for recording a first broadcast signal in real time while reproducing a previously recorded second broadcast signal, a video file area is disposed in a second predetermined position of the recording medium, for recording a third broadcast signal in a logical file at a predetermined time, and a control information area is disposed in a third predetermined position of the recording medium, for recording information about recorded files.
Claims36
A method of arranging divided recording area segments of a recording medium in a broadcast receiving system having a random access storage device, comprising:
- disposing a circular buffer area in a first predetermined position of the recording medium, for recording a first broadcast signal in real time while reproducing a previously recorded second broadcast signal;
- disposing a video file area in a second predetermined position of the recording medium, for recording a third broadcast signal in a logical file at a predetermined time;
- and
- disposing a control information area in a third predetermined position of the recording medium, for recording information about the first, second and third broadcast signals.
A method of arranging divided recording area segments of a recording medium in a broadcast receiving system having a hard disk drive, comprising:
- disposing a circular buffer area at the center of the hard disk drive, for recording a first broadcast signal in real time while reproducing a previously recorded second broadcast signal;
- disposing a first video file area and a second video file area respectively in an outer circumferential portion and an inner circumferential portion of a recording surface of the hard disk drive, for recording a third broadcast signal in a logical file at a predetermined time;
- disposing a general file area at a boundary of the circular buffer area, for managing files of information other than continuous data like video information;
- and
- disposing a control information area between the circular buffer area and the first video file area, for recording information about the first, second and third broadcast signals.
A method of arranging divided recording area segments of a recording medium in a broadcast receiving system having a hard disk drive, the method comprising:
- forming a predefined first area on the recording medium, for recording a first broadcast signal which is currently being broadcast and reproducing a second broadcast signal previously recorded in real time;
- and
- forming a second predefined area different from the first predefined area on the recording medium, for recording a third broadcast signal at a reserved time.
A method of processing broadcast signals from/on a recording medium in a broadcast receiving system having a hard disk drive, wherein the recording medium has a first predefined area, for recording a first broadcast signal which is currently being broadcast and reproducing a second broadcast signal previously recorded in real time, and a second predefined area different from the first defined area, for recording a third broadcast signal at a reserved time, and a fourth broadcast signal previously recorded, the method comprising:
- inputting the first and third broadcast signals simultaneously in a first period;
- recording the first and third broadcast signals on the first and second areas, respectively, and reading the second and fourth broadcast signals from the first and second areas, respectively, in a second period next to the first period;
- and
- reproducing the read second and fourth broadcast signals in a third time period next to the second period.
A computer readable medium in a broadcast
- receiving and recording system having a hard disk drive, wherein the computer readable medium includes a software execeuted by the computer to create areas, comprising:
- a first predefined area to record a first broadcast signal which is currently being broadcast and reproduce a second broadcast signal previously recorded in real time;
- and
- a second predefined area different from the first predefined area, to record a third broadcast signal at a reserved time.
A broadcast receiving system, comprising:
- a hard disk drive having a hard drive;
- and
- a controller which forms a first predefined area on the recording medium, for recording a first broadcast signal which is currently being broadcast and reproducing a second broadcast signal previously recorded in real time, and forms a second predefined area different from the first predefined area on the recording medium, for
- recording a third broadcast signal at a reserved time.
A broadcast receiving system for processing broadcast signals from/on a recording medium in a broadcast receiving system having a hard disk drive, wherein the recording medium has a first predefined area, for recording a first broadcast signal which is currently being broadcast and reproducing a second broadcast signal previously recorded in real time, and a predefined second area different from the first predefined area, for recording a third broadcast signal at a reserved time, and a fourth broadcast signal previously recorded, the broadcast receiving system comprising:
- a random access memory to receive the first and third broadcast signals simultaneously in a first period,
- a hard disk drive to record the first and third broadcast signals on the first and second areas, respectively, and reading the second and fourth broadcast signals from the first and second areas, respectively, in a second period next to the first period;
- and
- a video recovery unit to reproduce the read second and fourth broadcast signals in a third time period next to the second period.
