Claims
- 1. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus wherein the input programming data is recorded on the recording medium inserted in the apparatus, and also in a memory contained in the apparatus.
- 2. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
programming data recording means for recording input programming data items in a memory contained in the apparatus; and programming data record control means for reading that one of the programming data items recorded in the memory by the programming data recording means, which is requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, thereby transferring it to the recording medium and recording it thereon, and the programming data item read from the memory and transferred onto the recording medium by the programming data record control means is also maintained in the memory.
- 3. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function according to claim 2, wherein the programming data record control means attaches, to the programming data recorded in the memory by the programming data recording means, an identifier which distinguishes the programming data item requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, from a programming data item which is not requested to be recorded onto the recording medium.
- 4. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function according to claim 3, further comprising display means for displaying a list of the programming data recorded in the memory by the programming data recording means, on the basis of the identifier attached by the programming data record control means, such that the programming data item requested to be recorded onto the recording medium is distinguished from the programming data item which is not requested to be recorded onto the recording medium.
- 5. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function according to claim 4, wherein when displaying the programming data item requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, the display means displays it in a non-editable state if the recording medium is not inserted.
- 6. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function according to claim 2, further comprising recording/reproducing means contained in the apparatus and used to record/reproduce data in a recording medium having a larger capacity than the first-mentioned recording medium, and if the programming data item, which is included in the programming data items recorded in the memory and is requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, is not identical to programming data recorded on the recording medium inserted in the apparatus, a broadcasting program is recorded in the recording medium of the larger capacity on the basis of the programming data items recorded in the memory.
- 7. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function according to claim 6, further comprising means for transferring data recorded in the recording medium of the larger capacity, to the recording medium inserted in the apparatus, and storing the data thereon.
- 8. A recording/reproducing apparatus having a record programming function according to claim 6, wherein the recording medium is a rewritable disk, and the recording medium of the larger capacity is a hard disk.
- 9. A recording/reproducing method having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
recording the input programming data on the recording medium inserted in the apparatus, and in a memory contained in the apparatus.
- 10. A recording/reproducing method having a record programming function for recording a broadcasting program on a recording medium on the basis of input programming data, the input programming data being recorded on the recording medium, thereby making the recording medium to be dedicated to record programming based on the recorded programming data, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
a programming data recording step of recording input programming data items into a memory contained in the apparatus; and a programming data record control step of reading that one of the programming data items recorded in the memory at the programming data recording step, which is requested to be recorded onto the recording medium, thereby transferring it to the recording medium and recording it thereon, and the programming data item read from the memory and transferred onto the recording medium at the programming data record control step is also maintained in the memory.
