Data recording and reproducing apparatus displaying information about recording reservations
First Claim
1. A data recording and reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit receiving program data of a channel;
a storage unit storing information about a recording operation and a reproducing operation;
an input unit receiving an externally input instruction;
a clock unit measuring date and time; and
a control unit controlling the recording operation and the reproducing operation, said storage unit including a circuit storing a recording table having reservation data registered thereon, time-frame information for specifying a plurality of predetermined time frames, and configurational information for displaying a plurality of regions in a predetermined shape in a matrix form on a plurality of menu screens corresponding respectively to said plurality of predetermined time frames, and said control unit including;
a time-frame selection circuit selecting one of said plurality of predetermined time frames in response to an input from said input unit;
a circuit generating a signal for displaying said plurality of regions in the predetermined shape in the matrix form on one of said menu screens that corresponds to said selected predetermined time frame according to said configurational information, said plurality of regions being correlated with respective dates and respective times at predetermined time intervals based on said time-frame information;
a circuit selecting one of said plurality of regions in the predetermined shape on said menu screen in response to an input from said input unit;
a circuit generating in response to an input of a channel from said input unit, said reservation data based on date and time of recording correlated with said selected region in the predetermined shape and based on said input channel and registering said generated reservation data on said recording table; and
a circuit issuing an instruction to record said program data received by said receiving unit on said storage unit when the date and time measured by said clock unit match said date and time of recording.

Abstract
A system control circuit for controlling operation of an information recording and reproducing apparatus selects one of a plurality of predetermined time frames in response to an input from an operation unit for receiving an externally input instruction, generates a signal for displaying a plurality of regions in a predetermined shape in a matrix form on a menu screen corresponding to the selected predetermined time frame according to configurational information, the regions being correlated with respective dates and respective times at predetermined time intervals, and selects one of the regions in the predetermined shape on the menu screen in response to an input from the operation unit to register the selected region as recording reservation information.
