Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for allowing a user of a video recording system (eg, PVR, DVR, etc.) to reprogram time values ​​associated with a time-based navigation function of the video recording system. Thus, the present invention can be used, for example, to reprogram the segment playback and skip buttons on a remote control via the user interface in order to lengthen or shorten the time value associated with each button. It should be understood that although the invention is described herein in relation to segment playback and fast skip functions, the invention may be conveniently used in any time-based navigation function of a video recording system.

[0014] It should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms of hardware, software, firmware, special purpose processors or combinations thereof. Preferably, the invention is implemented as a combination of hardware and software. Furthermore, the softwa...

Abstract

There is provided a method for managing time-values of time-based navigation functions in a video recording system. A user input is received that specifies a re-programmed time-value for a time-based navigation function. The re-programmed time-value is stored for future use with the time-based navigation function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to video recording systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for allowing a user of a video recording system to reprogram time values ​​associated with a time-based navigation function of the video recording system. Background technique [0002] Personal video recording (PVR) systems and digital video recording (DVR) systems allow users to record programming to a hard disk drive (HDD). The user can rewind the recorded program by pressing the REVERSE button to initiate rewind mode, or by pressing the INSTANT REPLAY button, which is used to immediately rewind the video And restart playback from a point after X seconds have passed. Likewise, the user can fast-forward the recorded program by pressing the FORWARD button to initiate fast-forward mode, or by pressing the QUICK SKIP button for immediate forward Skip X seconds and restart playback. [0003] However, some users may find the preset time val...
