Embodiment Construction

[0019] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0020] FIG. 1 illustrates a television receiver having a personal video recorder (PVR) capable of storing (recording) and playing back broadcast programs. Here, the PVR 130 includes a PVR controller 131 and a storage medium 132. The PVR controller 131 is used to determine whether to store a specific broadcast program, whether to play a previously stored broadcast program, and whether to respond to a request from a system for controlling a television receiver. The stored broadcast program is deleted by a control signal of the system controller 103, and the storage medium 132 is used to store the broadcast program under the control of the PVR controller. The system controller 103 has a memory 104 for storin...

Abstract

A method of managing the storage of a broadcast program in a television receiver having a personal video recorder enables a more efficient use of the storage capacity of a personal video recorder (PVR) provided to the television receiver. The method includes steps of registering the stored broadcast program for automatic storage updating; extracting information for a newly received broadcast program; first determining whether the stored broadcast program is a broadcast program of a category corresponding to the newly received broadcast program, by comparing the extracted information to information of the stored broadcast program; and recording the newly received broadcast program in the personal video recorder according to the first determining and a second determination of whether a storage deletion condition is met for the stored broadcast program. Therefore, if prior storage of a same-category program is detected after a playback of the stored program, the storage of a newly received program of the corresponding category is performed by executing an updating operation to cause an automatic deletion of the previously stored program according to a predetermined storage deletion condition.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0057907 filed on June 27, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to television receivers, and more particularly, to a method of managing storage of broadcast programs and a television receiver using the method. Background technique [0003] Existing personal video recorders (PVRs) are capable of storing large amounts of video and audio data on hard drives with storage capacities of 10-100 gigabytes. A PVR can be used in conjunction with a television receiver so that a received broadcast signal including video, audio and additional data streams can be recorded for later (time-shifted) playback and viewing. Received broadcast programs are stored on a hard drive in a manner similar to how data files are stored on a personal computer. Meanwhile, such PVRs generally have a programming function that imple...
