Problems solved by technology

However, related art devices with a time-shift function use a fixed capacity (or size) of time-shift storage space
Therefore, when a program larger than the time-shift storage space is time-shifted, if the time-shift storage space becomes full, the remaining program data is recorded by clearing the previously recorded program data, and therefore, the user cannot watch the entire program

Embodiment Construction

[0024] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus 100 for controlling a time-shifted storage space according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the device 100 includes a storage unit 101 , a determiner 102 and a controller 103 .

[0025] The storage unit 101 has a time-shift storage space 200 and a data storage space 210 shown in FIG. 2 . The time shift storage space 200 is a space previously reserved for time shift. The data storage space 210 is a space for recording programs or user content to be recorded using a scheduled recording function. The user content is content input by a user, for example, may be content including still images, video, or music, or the user content may have a file format. Data storage space 210 may be defined as available space.

[0026] The time-shift storage space 200 and the data storage space 210 may be physically or logically separate spaces in the storage unit 101 .

[0027] The determiner 102 determi...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling a time-shifting storage space, whereby the time-shifting storage space can be changed according to a size of a broadcasting program to be time shifted, and a television (TV) receiver using the same are provided. The method includes: determining whether a size change of the time-shifting storage space is necessary, and if it is determined that a size change of the time-shifting storage space is necessary, changing a size of the time-shifting storage space using a data storage space.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0089653 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Sep. 15, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The method and apparatus according to the present invention relate to the control of a time-shifted storage space, and more particularly to the control of a time-shifted storage space according to the size of a program to be recorded and a television (TV) receiver for performing the control. Background technique [0003] The time-shift storage space is a storage space for a time-shift function included in a device having a personal video recorder (PVR) function. According to the time shift function, while watching a current time-shifted program (or broadcast program), when a play button is pressed after a predetermined time elapses from pressing the pause button, the broadcast program can be played from the time the pause button was pre...
