Abstract

A device for inputting the title of a recording medium readily. When a capturing key of a tuner unit (1) is depressed, a first system controller (7) stores the text information, received currently by an FM multiplexed text broadcasting receiving tuner (3), in a capturing buffer region (5B) of a memory (5). When the disc title of an MD-MO (11) is to be inputted, a title inputting mode is established, and the disc is selected as an input target unit. Thereafter, when a call key and an ENTER key are depressed, the first system controller (7) stores the captured text information in a title inputting region (5C) of the memory (5) in such a way that the information corresponds to the disc which is the input target unit. Thereafter, when the ENTER key and a title inputting key are depressed, the first system controller (7) sends the contents of the title inputting region (5C) to an MD recorder unit (10) and a second system controller (17) records the contents in a UTOC area of the MD-MO (11) before the ejection.

Claims

1. A title input device for a recording medium, comprising:

receiving means for receiving text broadcasting and outputting received text information;

display means for displaying the received text information output from said receiving means;

capturing means for storing the received text information in capturing storage means when capturing instruction operation means instructs to capture the received text information;

selection operation means for selecting a title input target unit of the recording medium;

call operation means for instructing to call desired received text information from said capturing storage means; and

title name recording means for reading the desired received text information instructed to be called by said call operation means from the received text information stored in said capturing storage means and recording the desired received text information in the recording medium as a title name of the title input target unit selected by said selection operation means, in response to operations of said call operation means and said selection operation means.

2. A title input device for a recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said capturing means deletes redundant text information when said capturing means stores the received text information in said capturing storage means when said capturing instruction operation means instructs to capture the received text information.

3. A title input device for a recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said title name recording means deletes redundant text information when said title name recording means reads the desired received text information instructed to be called by said call operation means from the received text information stored in said capturing storage means and records the desired received text information in the recording medium as a title name of the title input target unit selected by said selection operation means.

4. A title input device for a recording medium, comprising:

receiving means for receiving text broadcasting and outputting received text information;

display means for displaying the received text information output from said receiving means;

capturing means for storing the received text information in capturing storage means when capturing instruction operation means instructs to capture the received text information;

input operation means for selecting a title input target unit of the recording medium and inputting a title name character;

title name storing means for storing a title name input by a user in correspondence to each title input target unit;

call operation means for instructing to call desired received text information from said capturing storage means;

title name input processing means for writing a title name character input by the user in said title name storage means in correspondence to the title input target unit desired by the user, reading the desired text information stored in said capturing storage means when said call operation means instructs to call the desired received text information, and writing the title name in said title name storage means in correspondence with the title input target unit desired by the user, in response to an operation of said input operation means; and

title name recording means for recording the title name corresponding to the title input target unit and stored in said title name storage means in the recording medium at a predetermined timing.

5. A title input device for a recording medium according to claim 4, wherein said capturing means deletes redundant text information when said capturing means stores the received text information in said capturing storage means when said capturing instruction operation means instructs to capture the received text information.

6. A title input device for a recording medium according to claim 4, wherein said title name input processing means deletes redundant text information when said title name input processing means reads the desired text information stored in said capturing storage means when said call operation means instructs to call the desired received text information, and writes the title name in said title name storage means in correspondence with the title input target unit desired by the user.
