  FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a reception recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The receiving / recording apparatus 1 receives a plurality of different broadcast media and a plurality of composite signals, and processes a plurality of them simultaneously (viewing process, recording process, predetermined data process, etc.).

  The reception recording apparatus 1 mainly includes a control unit 10, an analog signal input unit 13, a digital signal input unit 19, a digital input switch 22, and a signal processing unit 23.

  The control unit 10 controls each unit of the reception recording apparatus 1 according to an operation signal input from the operation input unit 12 based on a control program recorded on the recording medium 11. The operation input unit 12 receives an operation input from the user and outputs an operation signal corresponding to the input to the control unit 10.

  The analog signal input unit 13 converts up to two of the input analog signals into digital signals and inputs the digital signals to the digital input switch 22. The terrestrial analog tuners 14-1 and 14-2 of the analog signal input unit 13 receive the terrestrial analog broadcast, and output the received analog signal to the analog input switch 16-1. Hereinafter, the terrestrial analog tuners 14-1 and 14-2 are simply referred to as the terrestrial analog tuner 14 when it is not necessary to individually distinguish them. The same applies to composite input units 15-1 to 15-3, which will be described later.

  Each of the composite input units 15-1 to 15-3 acquires a composite signal (analog signal) in which a luminance signal and a color signal are mixed from the outside, and outputs the composite signal to the analog input switch 16-1. The analog input switch 16-1 outputs a maximum of two of the input analog signals input to the Y / C separation unit 17-1 or 17-2.

  The Y / C separation units 17-1 and 17-2 respectively separate the video signal of the analog signal input from the analog input switch 16-1 into a luminance signal and a color signal, and the analog input switch 16- Output to 2. The analog input switch 16-2 outputs the luminance signal and the color signal input from the Y / C separation units 17-1 and 17-2 to the encoding unit 18-1 or 18-2. The analog input switch 16-2 outputs one of the inputs from the Y / C separation unit 17-1 or 17-2 to the subsequent stage when viewing the analog signal.

  The encoding units 18-1 and 18-2 respectively receive an analog signal composed of a video signal and an audio signal separated into a luminance signal and a color signal input from the Y / C separation unit 17-1 or 17-2, respectively. Are encoded by an encoding process corresponding to the decoding process in the decoding unit 25-1 included in the signal processing unit 23, and the encoded digital signal obtained as a result is output to the digital input switch 22.

  The digital signal input unit 19 inputs up to four systems of digital signals to the digital input switch 22. The terrestrial digital tuners 20-1 and 20-2 of the digital signal input unit 19 receive terrestrial digital broadcasts and output the received digital signals to the digital input switch 22. The satellite wave digital tuners 21-1 and 21-2 receive BS digital broadcast and CS digital broadcast, respectively, and output the received digital signal to the digital input switch 22.

  In accordance with control from the control unit 10, the digital input switch 22 receives two systems of digital signals input from the analog signal input unit 13 and four systems of digital signals input from the digital signal input unit 19. Are output to any of the viewing demultiplexers (DEMUX) 24-1 and 24-2, the recording demultiplexers 26-1 and 26-2, the data processing demultiplexer 28-1, and 28-1.

  The signal processing unit 23 performs viewing processing, recording processing, or predetermined data processing on a maximum of six systems of digital signals input from the digital input switch 22.

  The viewing demultiplexers 24-1 and 24-2 related to the viewing process separate the digital signal input from the digital input switch 22 into a video signal and an audio signal and output them to the decoding unit 25-1 or 25-2. To do. The viewing demultiplexers 24-1 and 24-2 separate the digital signal input from the recording unit 27-1 or 27-2 into a video signal and an audio signal, respectively, and decode the units 25-1 or 25-. Output to 2.

To do. The recording units 27-1 and 27-2 record the video signal and the audio signal input from the recording demultiplexer 26-1 or 26-2 on a predetermined recording medium. The recording units 27-1 and 27-2 read out the video signal and the audio signal recorded at the time of reproduction and output them to the viewing multiplexer 24-1 or 24-2.

  Each of the data processing demultiplexers 28-1 and 26-2 for data processing separates the digital signal input from the digital input switch 22 into a video signal and an audio signal and outputs them to the subsequent stage.

  FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the control unit 10. Based on the operation signal corresponding to the user's operation input from the operation input unit 12 or the recording reservation information input from the recording reservation setting unit 42, the operation determination unit 41 performs a process to be executed (which input signal Which of the viewing process, the recording process, or the predetermined data process is performed), and the determination result is output to the resource determination unit 43. The resource determination unit 43 controls the analog signal input unit 13, the digital signal input unit 19, and the digital input switch 22 based on the determination result of the operation determination unit 41, and allocates resources necessary for performing processing to be executed. The determination result is output to the resource management unit 44 and the priority determination unit 45. For example, the terrestrial digital tuner 20, the viewing demultiplexer 24, and the decoding unit 25 are determined as resources necessary for performing viewing processing of terrestrial digital broadcasting.

  Here, the resource indicates each component constituting the reception recording apparatus 1. When there are a plurality of components having the same function, the plurality of values are regarded as one type of resource and are referred to as capacity.

  The resource management unit 44 manages resources allocated to the process currently being executed, and there is a margin in the capacity of the resources necessary for the process to be executed, which is indicated by the determination result input from the resource determination unit 43. If so, the resource is assigned to the process to be executed. If there is no room in the capacity of resources necessary for the process to be executed, the resource allocation is changed according to the determination result input from the priority determination unit 45. By assigning a resource to a process to be executed, a path of the process (a route connecting the assigned resources) is determined. However, when a predetermined operation is performed by the user, the resource management unit 44 gives priority to processing corresponding to the user operation regardless of the determination result input from the priority determination unit 45. Resources can be allocated.

  The priority determination unit 45 compares the current resource allocation input from the resource management unit 44 with the determination result input from the resource determination unit 43 to determine the priority when allocating resources. Basically, the priority of the recording process based on the periodic recording reservation is high, the priority of the recording process based on the one-time recording reservation is medium, and the priority of the viewing process is low. If the notification unit 46 cannot allocate a resource to the process to be executed, the notification unit 46 notifies the user to that effect.

  Next, a series of processing (hereinafter referred to as path determination processing) until a path is determined will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  This path determination process is performed when an operation signal instructing the start of the viewing process is input from the operation input unit 12 to the operation determination unit 41 or when an operation signal instructing the start of the recording process is input. Alternatively, it is started when the recording reservation setting unit 42 notifies the operation determination unit 41 that the difference between the set recording reservation start time and the current time is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold.

  In step S1, the operation determination unit 41 is based on media (broadcast waves) corresponding to user operations and recording reservations and processing to be executed (viewing processing, recording processing based on periodic recording reservations, and temporary recording reservations). Recording process or predetermined data process), and the determination result is output to the resource determination unit 53.

  In step S <b> 2, the resource determination unit 43 determines the medium determined in step S <b> 1 and the resource necessary for the process to be executed, and outputs the determination result to the resource management unit 44 and the priority determination unit 45. In step S3, the resource management unit 44 determines whether the necessary resource determined in the process of step S2 is available, that is, whether the capacity of the resource has a margin. If it is determined that the capacity of the resource is not sufficient and the necessary resource determined in step S2 is not usable, the process proceeds to step S4. If it is determined that the necessary resource determined in step S2 is available because the capacity of the resource is sufficient, steps S4 and S5 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S4, the priority determination unit 45 determines that the priority of the process to be executed determined in the process of step S1 is higher than the priority of the process using the necessary resource determined in the process of step S2. Determine if it is high. If it is determined that the priority of the process to be executed determined in the process of step S1 is higher, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, the resource management unit 44 releases the allocation of the resource from the process using the necessary resource determined in the process of step S3. In step S6, the resource management unit 44 assigns the resource determined in the process of step S2 to the process to be executed determined in the process of step S1. Thus, by allocating resources, the path of the process to be executed determined in the process of step S1 is determined, and the path determination process ends.

  In step S4, it is determined that the priority of the process to be executed determined in the process of step S1 is not higher than the priority of the process using the necessary resource determined in the process of step S2. If so, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S <b> 7, the resource management unit 44 outputs information indicating that a resource could not be allocated to the process to be executed determined in the process of step S <b> 1 to the notification unit 46. The notification unit 46 notifies the user that the instructed process cannot be executed because the resource could not be secured. This is the end of the description of the path determination process.

  According to the above path determination process, for example, when a digital terrestrial broadcasting viewing process and a recording process (first recording process) based on a digital terrestrial broadcast recording reservation are being performed, that is, as shown in FIG. As described above, the terrestrial digital tuner 20-1, the viewing demultiplexer 24-1, and the decoding unit 25-1 are assigned to the terrestrial digital broadcast viewing process, and the terrestrial digital tuner 20-2 is allocated to the terrestrial digital broadcast recording process. When the recording demultiplexer 26-1 and the recording unit 27-1 are allocated, the recording process (second recording process) based on the recording reservation of digital terrestrial broadcasting is about to be executed. Assume.

  In this case, the terrestrial digital tuner 20 is determined as a resource necessary for the second recording process. However, since the terrestrial digital tuner 20 as a resource has already been used up to the upper limit of the capacity, priority is given to the three processes. The degree is determined. As a result of this determination, the resources allocated to the real-time viewing process with the lowest priority among the three processes are released, and in addition to the released terrestrial digital tuner 20-1, unused recording data. The multiplexer 26-2 and the recording unit 27-2 are assigned to the second recording process.

  Further, for example, when a recording process based on a recording reservation for BS digital broadcasting (first recording process) and a recording process based on another recording reservation for BS digital broadcasting (second recording process) are being performed, As shown in FIG. 5, the satellite wave digital tuner 21-1, the recording demultiplexer 26-1, and the recording unit 27-1 are assigned to the first recording process, and the satellite wave digital tuner is assigned to the second recording process. Assume that the BS digital broadcast viewing process is about to be executed when 21-2, the recording demultiplexer 26-2, and the recording unit 27-2 are assigned.

  In this case, the satellite wave digital tuner 21 is determined as a resource necessary for the viewing process, but since the satellite wave digital tuner 21 as the resource has already been used up to the upper limit of the capacity, the priority of the three processes is determined. Is done. As a result of this determination, the real-time viewing process has the lowest priority, so the resource allocation is not changed. Therefore, the real-time viewing process is not executed.

  By the way, the series of processes described above can be executed by hardware, but can also be executed by software. When a series of processing is executed by software, a program constituting the software may execute various functions by installing a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware or various programs. For example, it is installed from a recording medium in a general-purpose personal computer or the like.

Output unit 57 composed of a display, a storage unit 58 composed of a hard disk drive for storing programs and various data, a LAN (Local Area Network) adapter, etc., and executes communication processing via a network represented by the Internet.

  A program for causing the personal computer 50 to execute the above-described series of processing is supplied to the personal computer 50 while being stored in the recording medium 61, read by the drive 60, and installed in the storage unit 58. The program installed in the storage unit 58 is loaded from the storage unit 58 to the RAM 53 and executed by a command of the CPU 51 corresponding to a command from the user input to the input unit 56.
