Embodiment Construction

[0023] Like numbers represent like parts throughout the drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 shows one embodiment of a program recording system in which a program signal is received by a receiver 12 such as an antenna, cable or satellite dish. The received program signal is then subjected to some necessary processing in a suitable unit 11, which may comprise a tuner, personal computer or the like. Programs may be recorded or stored eg in a data file 7 on a hard disk for later viewing.

[0025] The user may enter information into the system through a suitable user interface 8, which may be a keyboard, remote control device or the like. The information entered by the user includes the recording schedule 2, the user identification 3 and the user's privacy settings 4, such as "completely hidden", "user / program hidden", "user hidden" or "program hidden". A suitable control unit 13 processes this information to determine whether user input information has caused a recording conflict, and t...

Abstract

The invention describes a method of program recording in a program recording system, which method comprises the steps of collecting a recording schedule (2) of a program to be recorded for a first user and collecting user identity (3) and privacy settings (4) for the first user. According to the privacy settings (4) of the first user, the user identity (3) and / or elements of the recording schedule (2) of the first user are concealed from a second user. The invention further describes a system (1) for program recording, comprising an information collection unit (8) for collecting a recording schedule (2), user identity (3) and privacy settings (4), and a control unit (13) for controlling the system according to the privacy settings (4) such that the user identity (3) and / or elements of the recording schedule (2) of the first user are concealed from a second user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recording programs in a program recording system. [0002] The invention also relates to a system for program recording Background technique [0003] The field of home entertainment and networking is developing towards "connecting the home" and "connecting the world", connecting electronic devices such as TVs and computers to each other and to other devices or networks inside or outside the home through the network. Ultimately, a user will be able to record and store data such as TV programming to an account on his home network and define access rights to these recordings from elsewhere on the network. Access rights can be specified in terms of user identification, so other users can be accepted or denied to view recordings based on their user ID (identification). Thus, users can build program collections and make this data accessible to other users inside or outside the home. [0004] As there are some data of ...
