REMOTE-CONTROLLED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY RECORDING DESIRED INFORMATION.

摘要

An inventive remote-controlled method is capable of selectively recording a desired television (TV) program remotely selected by a caller on a video cassette recorder (VCR) tape or vocal messages from the caller on a recording device in a receiver telephone set. The method comprises the steps of: (a) preprogramming, in response to a first decoded tone signal, the desired TV program based on a set of preprogramming information on the channel of the desired TV program, a recording starting time and a recording end time provided from the telephone caller; (b) recording the preprogrammed TV program on the VCR tape for the preprogrammed time period when the time given by a timer reaches the preprogrammed recording start time; and (c) recording, in response to a second decoded tone signal, the caller's vocal messages on the storing device in the receiver telephone set.
