BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is capable of storing and reading the contents of a magnetic recording tape, and an IC memory which can be read out from the cassette of the magnetic recording tape. The present invention relates to a magnetic recording cassette tape that can be repeatedly used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to organize recorded programs, a label is attached to the upper surface of a cassette of a magnetic recording tape, and a program name is written on the label to manage the magnetic recording tape. Recently, a method of identifying a program recorded on a magnetic recording tape by attaching a barcode sticker on the upper surface of the cassette of the magnetic recording tape has been adopted.

The above-mentioned VT will be described below with reference to the drawings.
An example of R will be described. 3 and 4 are block diagrams of a conventional magnetic recording tape system in which a bar code seal is attached to the upper surface of a cassette so that a recorded program can be identified. In FIG. 3, 30 is a magnetic recording cassette tape, 31 is a magnetic recording cassette tape 30.
Bar code sticker label on the top, 1 to 99
It is a sticker with a bar code showing the numbers up to.
In FIG. 4, when the magnetic recording cassette tape 30 is inserted, the bar code on the bar code sticker 31 attached to the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape is read by the bar code reading unit 34.
Can be read at. Reference numeral 35 is a control unit which can display the numerical information of the barcode sticker 31 read by the barcode reading unit 34 on the display unit 38. An input unit 36 is capable of inputting recording reservation information indicating a program content of the magnetic recording cassette and a program title name. Reference numeral 37 is capable of storing the program recording reservation information and the program title of the magnetic recording cassette tape input by the input unit 36 in correspondence with the numbers of the barcode sticker label 31 attached to the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette. .

The operation of the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described below. A bar code label 31 having an arbitrary number from 1 to 99 indicating the cassette number written on the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape 30.
And the magnetic recording cassette tape 30 is placed in a magnetic recording / reproducing device (not shown), the magnetic recording cassette tape 3
The barcode sticker 31 on the 0
4, and sends the numerical information represented by the bar code to the control unit 35. The controller 35 reads the cassette number corresponding to the number indicated by the bar code from the memory 37. The storage unit 37 stores program reservation information and program titles corresponding to the corresponding numbers, and the information is stored in the control unit 3
5, the control section 35 displays the information on the display section 38, so that the program reservation recording information and the program title recorded on the magnetic recording cassette tape can be viewed. On the other hand, on the other hand, the program recording reservation information and the program title for newly recording the program on the magnetic recording tape are input section 3
6, and can be stored in the storage unit 37.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned configuration, the number of magnetic recording cassette tapes increases in the bar code label attached to the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape, and the program information of the recorded magnetic recording cassette tapes is organized. If you try, there is a problem with the upper limit of numbers.
If you want to manage hundreds of barcodes, you need barcodes for hundreds of barcodes. To increase the amount of information in the limited space on the top surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape, print density of barcodes (consisting of barcodes (One bar code width)
Needs to be small. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is difficult to ensure the reading accuracy of the barcode and the like.

Further, in order to read the bar code sheet label correctly, it is necessary to accurately stick the bar code sheet label at a predetermined place on the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a magnetic recording cassette tape in which a removable resin molded sheet is formed on the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape and an IC memory can be placed on the sheet.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, a magnetic recording cassette tape according to the present invention is provided with a groove on the upper surface of a magnetic recording cassette tape, and a resin sheet provided with a convex portion matching the groove is inserted thereinto, The resin molded sheet is provided so that the IC memory on the resin molded sheet can be attached to the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape.

[0009]

According to the present invention, since the resin molding sheet having the IC memory attached can be attached to the upper surface of the magnetic recording cassette tape by the above-described structure, it can be easily attached to or removed from the magnetic recording cassette tape. . Further, in order to rewrite the reserved information for recording the program and the program title that have been saved, it is possible to remove only the resin molded sheet from the magnetic recording cassette tape and replace the information newly from an external device. Further, if only the resin-molded sheet integrated with the IC memory is attached to the upper surface of another magnetic recording cassette tape, different information can be easily entered and the IC memory can be repeatedly used. If the capacity of the IC memory is increased, the program reservation information and the program title information can be increased.
