Method and device for recording/reproducing broadcasting signals of a program
A recording/reproducing manage unit 25 , in response to an instruction, records the images of program into the recording files in order by changing the target recording file in a predetermined interval. Then the unit 25 , in response to another instruction, reproduces the recording files in its recorded order. Thereby a recording/reproducing device of broadcasting signals of the invention can complete reproduction of a program at almost the same timing as an end time of real broadcasting of the program, even if the reproduction is started a long time behind the starting of the real broadcasting of the program.
1. A method of recording/reproducing broadcasting signals, comprising:
establishing a size of recording files based on a broadcasting time of a program to be recorded and capacity of a storage device in which the recording files are included;
receiving signals of the program on a channel, and consecutively recording the signals into the recording files in order; and
controlling to continue the recording step until a recording stop instruction is received or broadcasting of the program is ended.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
reproducing the recording files in order of recording, in response to a reproduction instruction.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recording comprises:
determining whether or not a volume of a part of the signals which have been recorded into a first recording file reaches the established size;
closing the first recording file and recording the remaining part of the signals to a second recording file when it is determined that the volume is equal to the size; and
repeating the determining and the closing/recording to obtain the recording files in which the signals are recorded in order.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the reproduction instruction is issued after at least one recording file is filled with a part of the signals.
5. The method of claim 2 further comprising:
deleting a recording file which has reproduced.
6. The method of claim 3 further comprising:
fast-forward reproducing recording files which complete the recording of the signals in order of recording, in response to a reproduction instruction; and
reproducing, in normal speed, recording files which complete the recording of the signals after the reproduction instruction.
7. The method of claim 3 , wherein when a reproduction instruction is issued, the closing/recording is started.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each program is broadcast through digital signals and the digital signals are recorded into the corresponding recording file.
9. A recording/reproducing device of broadcasting signals comprising:
a storage device which includes recording files to record broadcasting signals of a program on a channel;
an establishing unit which establishes a size of the recording files based on a broadcasting time of the program to be recorded and capacity of the storage device;
a receive unit which receives signals of the program, and consecutively records the signals into the recording files in order; and
a recording control unit which controls the receive unit to repeat the reception and the recording until a recording stop instruction is received or broadcasting of the program is ended.
10. The recording/reproducing device of claim 9 further comprising:
a reproducing control unit which reproduces the recording files in order of recording, in response to a reproduction instruction.
11. The recording/reproducing device of claim 9 , wherein the recording control unit determines whether or not a volume of a part of the signals which have been recorded into a first recording file reaches the established size, closes the first recording file and records the remaining part of the signals to a second recording file when it is determined that the volume is equal to the size, and repeats the determination operation and the closing/recording operations to obtain the recording files in which the signals are recorded in order.
12. A method of recording/reproducing broadcasting signals, comprising:
establishing a size of recording files based on a broadcasting time of a program to be recorded and capacity of a storage device in which the recording files are included;
receiving signals of the program on a channel, and consecutively recording the signals into the recording files in order;
controlling to continue the recording step until a recording stop instruction is received or broadcasting of the program is ended; and
reproducing the recording files in order of recording, in response to a reproduction instruction,
wherein the recording comprises:
determining whether or not a volume of a part of the signals which have been recorded into a first recording file reaches the established size;
closing the first recording file and recording the remaining part of the signals to a second recording file when it is determined that the volume is equal to the size; and
repeating the determining and closing/recording to obtain the recording files in which the signals are recorded in order.
13. A recording/reproducing device of broadcasting signals comprising:
a storage device which includes recording files to record broadcasting signals of a program on a channel;
an establishing unit which establishes a size of the recording files based on a broadcasting time of the program to be recorded and capacity of the storage device;
a receive unit which receives signals of the program, and consecutively records the signals into the recording files in order;
a recording control unit which controls the receive unit to repeat the reception and the recording until a recording stop instruction is received or broadcasting of the program is ended; and
a reproducing control unit which reproduces the recording files in order of recording, in response to a reproduction instruction,
wherein the recording control unit determines whether or not a volume of a part of the signals which have been recorded into a first recording file reaches the established size, closes the first recording file and records the remaining pan of the signals to a second recording file when it is determined that the volume is equal to the size, and repeats the determination operation and the closing/recording operations to obtain the recording files in which the signals are recorded in order.
