  • Patent number: 7242845
    Abstract: A recording arrangement receives reception information including program, picture and/or sound information in a receiving channel of a television program. A detector detects the received program information which characterizes the start and end times of the television programs. A recorder is adapted to record the picture and/or sound information on a record carrier from a recording start time till a recording end time. A recording controller which, when a user of the recording arrangement has defined the recording start time and the receiving channel for a recording, is adapted to propose the end determined by the detector as the recording end time for the recording of the television program that can be received in the receiving channel.

  • Patent number: 7187840
    Abstract: A reproducing arrangement for reproducing scenes of a stored film in an overview reproducing mode of the reproducing arrangement, has random access memory means for the storage of audio/video data (AVD) of a film which is reproducible at a normal reproducing speed during a film reproduction time (TW1, TW2), and mode means which enable the overview reproducing mode of the reproducing arrangement to be activated, at least two scenes of the stored film being reproduced in succession at the normal or an increased reproducing speed by the reproducing arrangement in the overview reproducing mode, and a skip scene recorded between two scenes and reproducible at the normal reproducing speed during a skip reproduction time interval not being reproduced in the overview reproducing mode.

  • Patent number: 6603410
    Abstract: A reproducing arrangement (1; 14) is adapted to reproduce compressed data (KD) included in data blocks (DB) of a data stream (DS) in a normal speed reproducing mode and in a multi-speed reproducing mode. The compressed data (KD) included in each data block (DB) are decompressible independently of one another and the sequence of the encoded data blocks (KB) in the data stream (DS) corresponds to the sequence of reproduction of the decoded data (KD) in the normal speed reproducing mode. In the multispeed reproducing mode of the reproducing arrangement (1;14) encoded data (KD) are read from only a part of the data blocks (DB) of the data stream (DS) and supplied to decoding means (7) of the reproducing arrangement (1;14), whose computing capacity is therefore also adequate for the multi-speed reproducing mode.

  • Publication number: 20020085830
    Abstract: A recording arrangement (1) is adapted to record an information signal (FS) of an information broadcast during a programmed recording time slot (AZ). In order to program the recording time slot (AZ) the recording arrangement (1) can supply OSD information (OSD) in a programming mode of the recording arrangement (1), which information can be displayed by means of a television set (9) connected to the recording arrangement (1) and includes a time/date table (14; 17). In the time/date table (14; 17) selection time slots (AW) of N minutes are shown, which can be marked as a recording time slot (AZ) by a user, as a result of which the recording arrangement (1) is programmed to record the received information signal (FS).

  • Publication number: 20020067908
    Abstract: A reproducing arrangement (1) for reproducing scenes (S) of a stored film in an overview reproducing mode of the reproducing arrangement (1), has random access memory means (8) for the storage of audio/video data (AVD) of a film which is reproducible at a normal reproducing speed during a film reproduction time (TW1, TW2), and mode means (4) which enable the overview reproducing mode of the reproducing arrangement (1) to be activated, at least two scenes (S1 to S6, S7 to S12) of the stored film (FI1, FI2) being reproduced in succession at the normal or an increased reproducing speed by the reproducing arrangement (1) in the overview reproducing mode, and a skip scene (US) recorded between two scenes (S1 to S6, S7 to S12) and reproducible at the normal reproducing speed during a skip reproduction time interval (TZ1, TZ2) not being reproduced in the overview reproducing mode, and reproducing means (9) which, in the overview reproducing mode of the reproducing arrangement (1), are adapted to reproduce the stored

  • Publication number: 20020056108
    Abstract: A recording arrangement (1) having receiving means (4) for receiving reception information (EI1, EI2) including program information (PI1, PI2) and, in at least one receiving channel (C1, C2, C3), picture information and/or sound information of a television program, and having detection means (10) for the detection of the received program information (PI1, PI2), which characterizes the start times (BZ) and end times (EZ) of television programs that can be received in the receiving channels (C1, C2, C3), and having recording means (6), which are adapted to record the picture information and/or sound information received in the receiving channel (C1, C2, C3) on a record carrier from a recording start time (ABZ) till a recording end time (AEZ), includes recording control means (13) which, when a user of the recording arrangement (1) has defined the recording start time (ABZ) and the receiving channel (C1, C2, C3) for a recording, are adapted to propose the end time (EZ) determined by the detection means (10) as t
