Problems solved by technology

[0010] Since the device described in Patent Document 1 outputs operation guidance for all new functions that the user has not had in the devices that have been used so far, there is a problem that operation guidance is also presented for functions that the user can guess the operation method and operation content.
In addition, if the operation guide is repeatedly prompted for the operation of the function known to the user, the user's sense of trust in the machine's automatic prompt message will be lost.
As a result, there is a possibility of ignoring important messages and operating instructions, resulting in major operational errors such as mistakenly deleting recorded content

Embodiment approach 1

[0127] The guide provides instructions for the overall composition of Unit 100:

[0128] image 3 The configuration of the functional blocks of the guide providing unit 100 according to the present embodiment is shown. The manual providing unit 100 includes a database storage unit 102 , an output unit 106 , and a CPU 110 .

[0129] CPU 110 controls the operation of guide providing unit 100 . Hereinafter, the CPU 110 will be described as an integrated circuit different from the CPU 309 of the video recorder 1, which is an example. The computer program may be executed by the CPU 309 of the video recorder 1 instead of the CPU 110 , and various functions of the CPU 110 described later may be realized only by the CPU 309 . At this time, the guide providing unit 100 is implemented in software. Hardware such as a dedicated board or a circuit for the guideline providing unit 100 is not required.

[0130] CPU 110 has an equipment change detection unit 101 , a table generation un...

Embodiment approach 2

[0213] Embodiment 1 has described that the operation target is a recording medium. On the other hand, in the present embodiment and the next embodiment, an operation object different from a recording medium will be exemplified.

[0214] For example, when a plurality of workers provide servers for receiving information providing services on the network, the user can select the server for receiving information providing services using the remote controller 3 when the video recorder is connected to the network. The video recorder can then receive viewer-oriented information from the selected one of the servers.

[0215] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the switchable operation targets are various types of servers through which the video recorder receives information providing services. For example, when connecting a TV or a DVD recorder to a network using a LAN cable and obtaining program information or the like from the connection destination, each server at the connectio...

Embodiment approach 3

[0227] In recent years, many types of tuners corresponding to various broadcasting systems, such as terrestrial analog broadcasting, terrestrial / BS digital broadcasting, and CS broadcasting, are installed in many DVD recorders. Alternatively, there are DVD recorders that can receive broadcasts in cooperation with an external tuner corresponding to the broadcast system. The user can select an arbitrary tuner using the remote controller 3 or the like. Thus, the user can use the DVD video recorder to watch and record the program of the selected broadcasting system.

[0228] In the present embodiment, the switchable operation objects include tuners corresponding to terrestrial analog broadcasting, terrestrial digital broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting, CS broadcasting, and the like. The guide providing unit included in the DVD recorder instructs the DVD recorder whether or not to display the operation guide for these operation objects.

[0229] When a tuner that supports vari...

Abstract

An electronic apparatus appropriately presenting an operation guide to the user depending on whether or not the function is one which the user can deduce the operation and content. An electronic apparatus operable with changeable operation objects of various kinds comprises a storage section storing database containing guide text data on operation of object change and on execution of functions of operation objects, a detecting section for detecting change of the operation object, and a table creating section for creating a table referring to the database in response to a detection of change of the operation object. The table shows the functions of operation objects sorted into common functions and intrinsic functions before and after the change operation. The electronic apparatus further comprises a determining section determines that a confirmation message about a change of the operation object is presented if the function to be executed by an instruction belongs to the common function and that a confirmation massage about the functions to be changed and to be executed by an instruction is presented if the function to be executed by an instruction belongs to the intrinsic function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an operation support technology when a user operates hardware such as a machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a machine that explains the hardware operation content to be performed by the user for the user. Background technique [0002] When a user uses a new machine, the machine automatically guides the user to perform the operation method of the function and the operation content of the function. [0003] As a general method of operating instructions for a machine, consider a method in which the machine explains the operation method of the main functions and the outline of newly added functions at the initial stage of using the new machine by the user. However, even if the operation method and function outline are explained, the user may forget during the actual operation stage, and the user may perform the operation in a state of being unclear. If a certain function is performed through this ...
