1.5 space management structure
Below with reference to Fig. 1 the space management structure is described.
The space management structure is a structure that is used to manage the positional information of unassigned zone, and this unassigned zone is continuum and the record data therein that are present in the volume space.After some data are recorded on the CD, be necessary the record space management structure.
Unallocated space inlet 155 is space management structures, it comprises that this inlet of indication is the descriptor tag 185 of a unallocated space inlet and the positional information (in example shown in Figure 1, the positional information 188 of the positional information 186 of unassigned zone # 1, the positional information 187 of unassigned zone #2, unassigned zone #3 and the positional information 189 of unassigned zone #4) that is present at least one unassigned zone in the volume space.
For write down up-to-date information, simultaneously from the inside part of the CD mobile up-to-date information of part laterally, the positional information of unassigned zone is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155, make outside latest file structure zone 131 and the positional information of unassigned zone immediate with it is registered in the inside part of unallocated space inlet 155, make then outside latest file structure zone 131 and be registered in the inside part of the next one of unallocated space inlet 155 with the positional information of next immediate unassigned zone.When the positional information of outermost unassigned zone is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155, the positional information of unassigned zone is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155, make the positional information of inboard unassigned zone be registered in the inside part of the next one of unallocated space inlet 155, make the positional information of next the most inboard unassigned zone be registered in the inside part of the next one of unallocated space inlet 155 then.
In example shown in Figure 1, unassigned zone #1 (124) is outside and the most approaching with it in latest file structure zone 131.Therefore, the positional information 186 of unassigned zone #1 (124) is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155 as primary importance information.
Then, the positional information 187 of unassigned zone #2 (125) that is arranged in the tail end of volume space is registered in unallocated space inlet 155 as second place information.Then, the positional information 188 of the most inboard unassigned zone #3 (121) in the volume space is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155 as the 3rd positional information.At last, the positional information 189 of unassigned zone #4 (122) is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155 as the 4th positional information.By this way, the positional information of unassigned zone is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155 according to the order of unassigned zone #1 (124), unassigned zone #2 (125), unassigned zone #3 (121) and unassigned zone #4 (122).
By according to said sequence registration unassigned zone and according to order record data in unassigned zone of registration in unallocated space inlet 155 in unallocated space inlet 155, can the latest file structure zone on moving CD in record data.Consequently, can avoid data rewrite to concentrate on a specific region, thereby can prevent the appearance of defective and corrupted data.
Under the situation that is recorded in the deleted or editor of data on the CD, used zone so far becomes and does not need.The positional information in unwanted zone of becoming is registered in the unallocated space inlet 155 positional information as a new unassigned zone.Go out the residing place of positional information of the unassigned zone of new registration in unallocated space inlet 155 by the positional information calculation that is registered in the unassigned zone in the unallocated space inlet 155.Consequently, the positional information of new unassigned zone is inserted into a suitable position in the unallocated space inlet 155.
In this example, determine the registration location of positional information in unallocated space inlet 155 of unassigned zone based on the position of the unassigned zone in the volume space.Perhaps, the deletion in a zone owing to data becomes when not required, and the positional information in the unwanted zone that becomes can be registered in the positional information of the tail end of unallocated space inlet 155 as new unassigned zone.Again or, can be resumed based on the unwanted zone that becomes is the registration location of positional information in unallocated space inlet 155 of determining time of a new unassigned zone unassigned zone.By this method, also can avoid data rewrite to concentrate on a specific region.
According to the dish that also can be applied to the write-once type from inside part to the Outboard Sections method for recording data of the present invention.
In Fig. 8, having described has one it is required the situation of the control documents of data reliability.Perhaps, a plurality of control documents can be recorded on the CD.In this case, control documents can be recorded in basic file structure zone or the AV file area.When the size of control documents less or when the number of control documents hour, control documents preferably is recorded in the basic file structure zone.Its reason is that control documents is accessed easily in being recorded in the basic file structure zone time.Big or when the number of control documents greatly the time, control documents preferably is recorded in the AV file area when the size of control documents.Its reason is that the size in latest file structure zone can keep less by this way.Obviously, by record controls file and document entry thereof in the AV file area, can avoid that data rewrite concentrates in the specific region when upgrading control documents.
Based on the record position information of indication, can carry out the cycle index on the specific direction by the next record position of inlet sector number appointment.Obtain the positional information in the zone of recorded data from the space management structure.
1.6 the data structure of recorded information section
Fig. 9 has shown the illustration data structure of recorded information section 111.In example shown in Figure 9, recorded information section 111 comprises a counting unit and 250 registration units.
Counting unit comprises 10 count block.In 10 count block each for example is formed an ECC piece as smallest record unit.Be recorded in 10 count block one be which effective identification information (for example, wherein recording the identification number of the registration unit under the registration piece of effective inlet sector number) in 250 registration units of indication.Counting unit is used for searching out an effective registration unit from 250 registration units.The use of counting unit allows need not to read all registration units by only reading an effective registration unit just can obtain up-to-date inlet sector number.
When the identification number of effective registration unit changes, rewrite each count block.Therefore, to compare with the number of times that the registration piece is rewritten be very little to the number of times that is rewritten of count block.
Sequentially use 10 count block that counting unit, comprise from count block (first count block) beginning of front.Reuse a count block, become and to write down up to count block.It for example is but that data are rewritten the number of times that surpasses number of rewrites that count block becomes the reason that can not write down, and owing to dust adhere to or similar reason makes count block be in a defect state.When first count block becomes can not write down the time, use second count block.When second count block becomes can not write down the time, use the 3rd count block.By this way, rewrite each count block, becoming up to count block can not record.When count block becomes can not write down the time, use next count block.Therefore, because the number of times that data have been rewritten is littler, so can be with the search in the higher speed execution count block.
In 250 registration units of first registration unit to the each comprises 10 registration pieces.10 each that register in the piece are formed an ECC piece, and it is the smallest record unit.10 registrations each in the piece comprises that the zone of version number's (version information) of a version that is used to write down indication registration piece and one are used to write down the zone of inlet sector number (pointer information) of the tail end in indication latest file structure zone.
When data being recorded in the latest file structure zone, version number and inlet sector number are recorded in the registration piece of selecting from first to the tenth registration piece of a registration unit at every turn.When data being recorded in the latest file structure zone, change the registration piece that has wherein write down version number and inlet sector number at every turn.For example, when being recorded in data in the latest file structure zone for the first time, version number and inlet sector number are recorded in the first registration piece; When being recorded in data in the latest file structure zone for the second time, version number and inlet sector number are recorded in the second registration piece.By this way, sequentially version number and inlet sector number are recorded in the registration piece from the first registration piece to the, ten registration pieces.After being recorded in ten registration piece with the inlet sector number version number, again version number being recorded in first with the inlet sector number and registering (data in the first registration piece are rewritten) in the piece.Then, sequentially version number and inlet sector number are recorded in (data in each registration piece are rewritten) the registration piece from the first registration piece to the, ten registration pieces once more.
By by this way version number and inlet sector number being recorded in the registration piece one by one, can avoid data rewrite to concentrate in the specific registered piece.
Be not limited to the position of the tail end in latest file structure zone by the position of inlet sector number (pointer information) indication.By the position of inlet sector number (pointer information) indication can be any position (for example, precalculated position) in any zone (for example, second information recording area) on the CD 235.Second information recording area can be the zone that can write down record data by sequential loop.
In this example, data are journals repeatedly in each of 250 registration units.That is, each in 250 registration units is an example that wherein can be write down the first information posting field of record data by sequential loop.By journal data repeatedly in each of the zone of a plurality of divisions by this way, can improve the reliability of All Ranges and improve the speed that reads from each zone.
Manage up-to-date registration piece, so that it has the version number of the maximum in the affiliated registration unit of up-to-date registration piece.The maximum up-to-date version information of version number's indication.Inlet sector number (pointer information) corresponding to version number's (latest version information) of maximum is used as effective inlet sector number (valid pointer information).
In example shown in Figure 9, the 3rd registration piece with version number (3) is up-to-date registration piece.By making registration unit comprise 10 registration pieces by this way, can only discern up-to-date registration piece by reading of data from maximum 10 registration pieces.
When one or more registration pieces become in a registration unit can not the time spent, use next registration unit.For example, when one or more registration pieces become in first registration unit can not the time spent (maybe when the version number of registration piece arrives a particular value in first registration unit), use second registration unit.Effectively registration unit is discerned by counting unit.Therefore, for discerning effective registration unit, do not need to search for whole 250 registration units.
In extension record information section 112 shown in Figure 1,, can improve the reliability of recorded information section 111 by the reservation record information section that provides wherein to write down the copy of the information of record in recorded information section 111.Not reading from recorded information section 111 under the situation of inlet sector number, can read the inlet sector number from extension record information section 112 owing to read error.
In ingress area or export area, do not need configuration information record section 111.Configuration information record section 111 in for example can a zone in ingress area.Perhaps, can in volume structure zone 101, configuration information write down section 111.In these cases, provide and prevented that data rewrite from concentrating on an effect in the particular sector.Its reason is the position that can indicate the tail end in the zone of wherein having write down the inlet sector number in the execution sequence cycle index.
The number of count block is not limited to 10.The number of count block can be 1 or more in any number.The number of registration piece is not limited to 10.The number of count block also can be 1 or more in any number.
The number of registration unit is not limited to 250.The number of registration unit can be 1 or more in any number.When the number of registration unit was 1, counting unit can be omitted, because do not need to search for effective registration unit.That is, the recorded information section can be constructed to include only a registration unit.For example, when the number of registering piece was enough big, the recorded information section can be constructed to include only a registration unit.
Record cell in the recorded information section can be a sector, is not limited to an ECC piece.
CD can have record identification information thereon in advance, and its indication recorded information section is assigned to a presumptive area of CD.The high reliability of the restricted CD of number of times of data rewrite wherein when this identification information guarantees to transport (shipment) at CD.Its reason is by repeatedly adopting recorded information sector sequence record data, can compensate the restriction on the data rewrite number of times.
The dish of write-once type can be regarded as wherein, and the number of times of data rewrite is limited to zero dish.Even when the number of times of data rewrite is bigger, the use of above-mentioned recorded information section also allows to be recorded in effective registration unit and the effectively high speed identification of registration piece wherein.Still bigger when the number of times of data rewrite, make when needing all registration units in the service recorder information section, be assigned as the recorded information section by a part, further the data rewrite possibility that becomes with extension record information section.
Number by increasing a registration piece in the registration unit or by increasing the number of the count block in the counting unit can also provide one to have the dish of the write-once type recorded information section of data structure more suitably.For example, the number of the count block in counting unit equals under the situation of number of registration unit, and count block can be updated the identical number of times of number of times that is updated with registration unit.The number of the count block in counting unit is than under the big situation of the number of registration unit, even because defect block or similar former thereby can not upgrade count block the time also can be used next count block.
In concentrating on a particular count piece in the counting unit for fear of data rewrite, can be in counting unit journal data repeatedly.That is, counting unit is wherein to be write down an example of the 3rd information recording area of record data by sequential loop.In this case, the same with above-mentioned registration piece, each count block that comprises in counting unit comprises the version number's (version information) of the version of index gauge several piece and the identification number (identification information) of registration unit.
Management most recent count piece is so that make it have maximum version number in the counting unit.Maximum version number indication latest version information.Use is corresponding to the identification number (identification information) of maximum version number (latest version information), as effective identification number (effectively identification information) of effective registration unit.
By to counting unit and each registration unit journal data repeatedly, old information remains in count block and the registration piece.Like this, updated information (file) can be retained on the CD in advance, makes this information (file) can be used as standby message.
Above-mentioned recording method can be applicable to write-once type disc and rewritable disk.Therefore, a kind of general record method can be used for rewritable disk and write-once type disc.
By adopting the restricted CD of data rewrite number of times, substitute the sequential loop record of carrying out, the registration piece in can registration unit is set to spendable, becomes and can not use up to the registration piece.This shortened from the time of registration unit reading of data.The registration piece reason that can not write down that becomes is, for example the number of times that is rewritten of data has surpassed rewritable number of times, and owing to dust adhere to or similar reason makes the registration piece be placed into a defect state.When the registration piece becomes can not write down the time, use next registration piece.Can not write down and repeatedly use a registration piece to become up to the registration piece can not record by repeatedly using a count block to become up to count block, can shorten from the time of counting unit reading of data, and can shorten from the time of registration unit reading of data.
1.7 file reproduction is handled
Fig. 7 has shown the process that is used to reproduce the file reproduction processing that is recorded in the file on the CD 235.It is by information record shown in Figure 2 and transcriber execution that file reproduction is handled.Below will describe step shown in Figure 7 in detail.In the example below, from CD 235 reproduction of AV files (AVfile-d) 158 with data structure shown in Figure 1.
By from having data structure shown in Figure 6 and writing down AV file (AVfile-c) and the CD of AV file (AVfile-d) 235 deletion AV files (AVfile-b), obtain CD 235 shown in Figure 1.
(S701) when detecting CD and be inserted into disc drive unit 205, first count block 171 in the counting unit 141 in the drive control part 231 designated recorder information sections 111.
(S702) drive control part 231 determines whether the appointment count block in the counting unit 141 is to be in not recording status.When "Yes", handle proceeding to step (S704); When "No", handle proceeding to step (S703).
(S703) drive control part 231 is specified the position of the next count block in the counting unit 141.
(S704) drive control part 231 never is in the identification number (identification information) that last count block in the count block of recording status not obtains the registration piece.
(S705) drive control part 231 is reproduced operation from being carried out by the preposition registration BOB(beginning of block) the registration unit of the identification number appointment of registration unit, thereby obtains version number's (version information).
(S706) drive control part 231 specifies in the position of the next one registration piece of specifying in the registration unit.
(S707) drive control part 231 is reproduced operation from specifying the registration BOB(beginning of block) to carry out.When the appointment registration piece that reproduces appointment in the operation at this is in not recording status, when perhaps the version number in being recorded in the registration piece is less than previously obtd version number, handle proceeding to step
(S709)。Otherwise, handle proceeding to step (S708).
(S708) drive control part 231 specifies in the position of the next one registration piece of specifying in the registration unit.
(S709) drive control part 231 obtains to be recorded in the inlet sector number in the up-to-date registration piece, and the sector number that will enter the mouth is stored in the recorded information zone memory 273.
The operational example of the drive control part of describing in step (S701) to (S709) 231 is as being realized by the control program of setting up in drive control part 231, as information record and transcriber 272.
(S710) systems control division divides the 201 inlet sector numbers that obtain to be stored in the recorded information zone memory 273 of disc drive unit 205, as the information (pointer information) of the position of the tail end in indication latest file structure zone.Systems control division divides 201 order disc drive units 205 to reproduce the VATICB 157 of the tail end that is recorded in the latest file structure zone.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as VAT structure reproduction device 215.Disc drive unit 205 reading and recording are at the VATICB 157 of the tail end in latest file structure zone, and VATICB 157 are stored in the VAT structure memory 222 of memory circuitry 202.
Then, systems control division divides the positional information of 201 couples of VAT that comprise in the VATICB that is read to decipher, carry out one with similar control procedure to VATICB, so that the VAT 156 of reading and recording in VAT structural region 108, and VAT 156 is stored in the VAT structure memory 222 of memory circuitry 202.
(S711) systems control division divides 201 to read document entry (root directory) 154 and root directory 153 from a file set descriptor 152, adopts the VAT that obtains in step (S710) that virtual address translation is become logical address simultaneously.Systems control division divides 201 also sequentially to read with document entry (root directory) 154 and root directory 153 and be recorded in document entry (AVDir) 151 and AV catalogue (AVDir) 150 in the same area and document entry (Datafile) 149 and control documents (Datafile) 148.Like this, obtain the record position of AV file and relevant information.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as basic file structure transcriber 261.
(S712) last, systems control division divides the read operation of 201 execute files inlet (AVfile-d) 159 and AV file (AVfile-d) 158, thereby finishes the file reproduction operation.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as file reproduction device 216.
Become and not can read for fear of the error that reads of data owing to reproduction period, can be in another zone a copy of record data.The latest file structure zone of being moved by journal can be doubled, and the positional information in the latest file structure zone that doubles can be specified in the recorded information section.For example, as shown in figure 10, main-inlet sector number 2151 that writes down in the registration piece based on record in reservation record information section 2101 and master record information section 2102 and reservation inlet sector number 2152 can specify to keep latest file structure zone 2103 and main latest file structure zone 2107.
There is a kind of possibility, promptly after having carried out the journal that has check, owing to causing cut or dust to make data reproduction become impossible.In order to allow latest document even under such a case, also to be read, main latest file structure zone 2107 can be set in volume space and keep latest file structure zone 2103, its positional information can be registered in the ingress area, as main-inlet sector number 2151 and reservation inlet sector number 2152.Like this, improved the reliability of data reproduction.
Being recorded in the information that keeps in the latest file structure zone 2103 is the reservation information that will be recorded in the information in the main latest file structure zone 2107 basically.The VAT 2145 that is recorded in the VAT structural region 2110 is recorded in the virtual address of the latest file structure in the main latest file structure zone 2107 and the corresponding tables of logical address.On the contrary, the VAT 2135 that is recorded in the VAT structural region 2106 is recorded in the virtual address of the latest file structure in the reservation latest file structure zone 2103 and the corresponding tables of logical address.
The positional information in the positional information in main latest file structure zone 2107 and reservation latest file structure zone 2103 can be registered in respectively in the master record information section 2102 and reservation record information section 2101 of ingress area, as main-inlet sector number 2151 and reservation inlet sector number 2152.In this case, reservation record information section 2101 is zones that a record is registered in the reservation information of the information in the master record information section 2102.The structure of use master record information section or reservation record information section and method are similar to structure and the method at the recorded information section shown in the example 1.
The positional information that keeps the latest file structure zone can be with specifying from the offset address of main-inlet sector number.It for example is main-inlet sector number-256, main-inlet sector number-512, main-inlet sector number+256 or main-inlet sector number+512 that offset address can be designated as.Off-set value can be registered in the interblock section.
Even at the recorded information section is to be set under volume space rather than the situation in ingress area, also can provide effect of the present invention significantly.The inlet sector number for example can be recorded in the volume space (as volume structure zone 101).In this case, also provide and the roughly the same effect that when the inlet sector number is recorded in the ingress area, provides.
The record position information (sector number for example enters the mouth) of indication next record starting position allows to make that at specific direction record data repeatedly wherein the zone of overwriting data is distributed in the whole information recording area of information recording carrier.
The registration that is recorded in the reservation information of the information in the master record information section can be performed in master record information section 2102 and reservation record information section 2101 independently.In this case, adopt the record that has check to come recording gauge several piece or registration piece, so that avoid defect area.Therefore, be that the count block of defect area or the number of registration piece are different between master record information section 2101 and reservation record information section 2101.
In reservation record information section 2101, copy information can be recorded in count block identical with information in the master record information section 2101 or the identical registration piece.In this case, in reservation record information section 2101, do not need to carry out the record that has check.Even under defect state, also executive logging.
In this example, being recorded in the information that keeps in the latest file structure zone is the copy information of main latest file structure.In order to shorten writing time, have only the file structure of upgrading from the last time record can be recorded in the reservation latest file structure zone.When data can not can use this reservation latest file structure zone and former main latest file structure to obtain the backup of data when read in main latest file structure zone.The inlet sector number in the registration piece by registration piece before distinguishing based on version number and service recorder, the main latest file structure before can obtaining.
As shown in figure 10, the latest file structure that is recorded in the volume space is doubled.Under the positional information of two latest file structures that double all is included in situation in the ingress area, in execution sequence record, can improve for the record of file therein in the restricted information recording carrier of the number of times of data rewrite and reproduce the robustness in requisite file structure zone.By non-fault ground record data in recorded information section (it is the zone for the positional information appointment in the latest file structure zone of multiplication), improved the reproduction reliability of dish, and no matter reproduce impossible danger that becomes owing to causing that cut or dust make.
Obviously, latest file structure zone and inlet sector number all can be applicable to multiplication double, three times and other types.
In the ECMA167 standard, the document entry of AV file is defined as the part of file structure.In this example, in order to explain for simplicity, the document entry of AV file is recorded in the AV file area.
Do not write down thereon under the situation of information recording carrier of AV file, control documents can be recorded in the AV file area.Effect of the present invention still is provided significantly.In this case, control documents and file structure thereof are sequentially recorded in volume space.
In this example, adopt the file structure of VAT structure to be recorded in the latest file structure zone.In latest file structure zone, can write down the file structure of alternative document system (such as FAT file system of in MS-DOS, using or similar file system) by the appointment of inlet sector number.Even when using a file structure that is different from the VAT structure, as long as adopt the inlet sector number that is recorded in the recorded information section, the effect that also can provide the data rewrite on the restricted dish of number of times of avoiding data rewrite therein to concentrate.
In this example, when inserting a dish, system is recorded in control documents in the basic file structure zone, so that the information of identification record in a plurality of AV files.Only needing identification record under the situation of the file on this dish, need be in the basic file structure zone record controls file and document entry thereof.Then, the basic file structure zone is littler, thereby shortens time for reading.Under the basic file structure zone was recorded in as the situation in the ECC piece of the minimum unit of reading, driving arrangement was only carried out data read one time.By this way, make data be updated or record according to information recording carrier of the present invention, comprise that the latest file structure zone moves to the outside internally.Therefore, prevent corrupted data or the defective that causes of concentrating, and improve data reliability owing to data rewrite.
2. example 2
In example 2, will a kind of defect management method that is used for sequentially writing down the method for AV file in being pre-allocated in the AV file area of volume space and is recorded in the information in the latest file structure zone be described.
Therefore the AV data that are recorded in the AV file area need be with check ground record by the time continuous recording.File control information (for example file set descriptor) and control documents are required it is reliably, are therefore had check ground record, so that guarantee the data reliability when record.Usually, the AV file has bigger data size, and control documents or file control information have less document size.Therefore AV data and non-AV data take on a different character.Below will describe an example, and wherein be used to write down the zone of AV data and be used to write down the regional separated of non-AV data.
Under with the situation as the management of the form in the example 1 unassigned zone, the order of wherein registering the management information in the unassigned zone by definition comes the execution sequence record.In example 2, adopt an improved bitmap that is recorded in the space management structural region to manage unassigned zone, and execution sequence record in the AV file area in volume space.
In the following description, unless other detailed description is arranged, be recorded in descriptor on the information recording carrier, pointer etc. and have data structure by ECMA167 or UDF (universal disc format) standard definition as the volume file structure.
2.1 optical disc data structure
Figure 11 has shown an illustration data structure of CD 235.
But volume space has volume structure zone 101 backup file structural regions 1303 and the AV file area 1308 that is pre-allocated in its fixed position.But backup file structural region 1303 is included in the space management structural region 1306 in the part in latest file structure zone.In the space management structural region, will write down an improved bitmap.
Bitmap is the figure that shows each regional recording status of a discrete cell (for example sector or ECC piece).Each regional recording status of one discrete cell under the situation of recording status not by 0 indication, under the situation of recording status by 1 indication.Show all sectors recording status the position set be called as a bitmap.In example 2, bitmap shows the recording status of a unit.The advantage of carrying out the management of unassigned zone with bitmap is, because unassigned zone is that appointment is come in a position that is used for each zone that will be managed, so the size of bitmap is fixed.
One " unit " is a unit that is used for management accounts, comprises one or more sectors.In this example, a unit approximately comprises 5000 sectors.
Ingress area has the recorded information section 111 of distributing to it.Recorded information section 111 comprises standby appointed information zone 1302, and standby appointed information zone 1302 comprises stand-by unit several 1310 and spare area address information 1311.In standby appointed information zone, but but substitute latest file structure zone 1304 by the spare area 1307 of backup file structural region 1303 or other unit.Like this, but when data rewrite is concentrated in the latest file structure zone 1304 of backup file structural region 1303 or when whole zone, become can not write down the time, this substitute prevent that medium from becoming fully can not record.Consequently, data can be recorded in the latest file structure zone.
2.2 file logging is handled
Figure 13 has shown the process of the file logging processing that is used for log file on CD 235.File logging is handled by information record and transcriber shown in Figure 2 and is carried out.To describe step shown in Figure 13 in detail below.
(S1501) systems control division divides 201 front ends from the improvement bitmap 1313 that is read into space management structure memory 253 to obtain start element numbers 1330.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as space management structure pen recorder 251.
(S1502) systems control division divides 201 order disc drive units 205 to begin sequentially to write down AV file (AVfile-d) 146 from the unit # 40 by start element number 1330 appointments.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as file recording device 213.
(S1503) systems control division divides 201 to upgrade the file structure of the management information that comprises the AV file (AVfile-d) that is write down, and orders disc drive unit 205 that the file structure of upgrading is recorded in the latest file structure zone 1304.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as basic file structure pen recorder 261.
Here, but when since the latest file structure of backup file structural region 1303 zone 1304 since the concentrating of data rewrite, cut or dust become and can not write down that this is former thereby when disc drive unit 205 returns a write error, systems control division divides 201 to upgrade basic file structure, so that the change record position, but and send one should be in spare area 1307 instruction of executive logging.
But when since spare area 1307 since the concentrating of data rewrite, cut or dust become and can not write down that this is former thereby when disc drive unit 205 returns another write error, systems control division divides 201 to send the instruction that write down the basic file structure zone, and wherein record position is changed to unit #56.By this way, unit #56 (it is to be used in the AV file area 1308 next record start element of executive logging sequentially) but can be used as the backup file structural region.By this way, when a write error occurring when data being recorded in the latest file structure zone, the data that are recorded in the latest file structure zone are updated, but and are recorded in the Unrecorded spare area.But when in spare area not during posting field, but use start element number to come to distribute a backup file structural region, but and be recorded in the front end that data in the latest file structure zone were updated and were recorded in the backup file structural region to a unallocated unit.When but the backup file structural region is assigned to unallocated unit, but the stand-by unit of preliminary dimension is arranged to not recording status.Therefore, even when a write error when data being recorded in the latest file structure zone, occurring, also can realize duplicated record.
Drive control part 232 these records of order and transcriber 234 are recorded in basic file structure among the unit #56.When this record was finished, " 56 " were recorded in the stand-by unit numbers 1410 in the recorded information section 111 in the ingress area, and the address information in latest file structure zone is recorded in the spare area address information 1411.Then, drive control part 232 reporting system control sections 201 are finished dealing with.
(S1504) systems control division divides 201 to generate the improvement bitmap 1412 of state of the unassigned zone of a reflection dish, and will improve in the space management structural region 1403 that bitmap 1412 is recorded in unit #56.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as space management structure pen recorder 251.
Here, the unit number 57 of first unassigned zone of indication after record cell number is registered in the front end of improvement bitmap as start element.Handle by this, unit # 40 is changed to indicating " 1 " of " writing down " to these positions (they indicate these wherein to record the recording status of the unit of data) of #56.
Figure 12 has shown the structure that is recorded in the data on the CD 235 after having carried out file logging on the CD 235 with data structure shown in Figure 11 handles.
The second period of the journal that the inside part in the AV file area carries out in the Outboard Sections has been described in this example.Therein in the restricted information recording carrier of the number of times of data rewrite, by a start element designated recorder reference position.Therefore, can be in the AV file area from the inside part of dish part execution sequence record repeatedly laterally.
The next record starting position can number be specified by an address rather than start element.When next record start position is specified by address, compare with the situation that adopts start element number, in more detail the designated recorder reference position.Can specify former end of record (EOR) position, rather than the next record reference position.
In this example, the unassigned zone that wherein can write down the AV file is by ground, unit appointment one by one, and the zone of wherein writing down the AV file is by logic sector ground appointment one by one.For simplicity, the zone of wherein writing down the AV file also can be specified by ground, unit one by one.
In this example, have only the AV file to be recorded in the AV file area.Described in example 1, the document entry of AV file also can be recorded in the AV file area.
Under the excessive situation of the number of the oversize or control documents of control documents, control documents and document entry thereof can be recorded in the AV file area.By this way, when upgrading control documents, prevent that data rewrite is concentrated in the specific region.
For record data in volume structure zone and latest file structure zone, carry out the record that has check.For record data in the AV file area, carry out not record with check." record that has check " refers to a kind of recording method, and confirming by this method can reading of data after having carried out record.The record of check " not with " refers to a kind of recording method, and not confirming by this method can reading of data after having carried out record.
In this example, substitute latest file structure zone afterwards and divide 201 management by systems control division.In the system by drive control part 231 management and spare area territories, can carry out management therein by the system that is called as " the linear replacement "." linear replace " refers to a kind of system, and drive control part is divided the corresponding relation between the physical address information of address of the logical address of appointment and physical record data by systems control division by this system management.By this system, not by visiting indicated logical address but by carrying out reproduction from the physical address corresponding reading of data.In this system, systems control division divides not to be needed to upgrade record position information according to replacing with basic file structure.
Under the situation of carrying out the two-stage alternate process, but but comprise substituting and of the distribution of backup file structural region by spare area to a unit, even when in the data rewrite number of times has the medium of the data structure zone of the size of limiting or AV file area, increasing unexpectedly, also can interruptedly not carry out to the record of medium with from the reproduction of medium.
2.3 file reproduction is handled
Figure 14 has shown the process that is used to reproduce the file reproduction processing that is recorded in the file on the CD 235.File reproduction is handled by information record and transcriber shown in Figure 2 and is carried out.To describe step shown in Figure 14 in detail below.In the example below, from CD 235 reproduction of AV files (AVfile-d) 158 with data structure shown in Figure 12.
(S1601) when CD is inserted into disc drive unit 205, drive control part 231 reads a stand-by unit numbers 1410 and spare area address information 1411 from the standby appointed information zone 1302 of recorded information section, and reporting system control section 201 is about stand-by unit numbers 1410 and spare area address information 1411.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to realize by carry out the control program of setting up in drive control part 231, as information record and transcriber 272.
Systems control division divides 201 to determine that the stand-by unit that reads numbers 1410 is 0 or 1.When this number is 0, handle proceeding to step (S1603).Otherwise, handle proceeding to step (S1602).
(S1602) systems control division divides 201 based on stand-by unit number and spare area address information, and a basic file structure is reproduced in the basic file structure zone in the latest file structure zone from be recorded in a unit with designating unit number.
In example shown in Figure 12, stand-by unit numbers 1410 is 56.Therefore, a basic file structure is read in the basic file structure zone 1402 in the latest file structure zone 1401 from be recorded in unit #56.
(S1603) systems control division divides 201 based on standby address information, but reproduces a basic file structure from the basic file structure zone that is recorded in a latest file structure zone the pre-assigned backup file structural region.
In example shown in Figure 11, stand-by unit numbers 1410 is 0.Therefore, but a basic file structure is read in the basic file structure zone 1305 in the latest file structure zone 1304 from be recorded in backup file structural region 1303.
The systems control division of describing in step (S1602) and (S1603) divides 201 operational example as dividing the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as basic file structure transcriber 262.
(S1604) systems control division divides 201 pairs of basic file structure decodings, and reproduces the AV file of wanting (AVfile-d) 158.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as file reproduction device 216.
Usually, the size of AV file is bigger than the size of control data.Therefore, in this example, the AV file is by ground, unit management one by one.Therefore, adopt unit number to substitute logic sector number, can easily specify the record position information of AV file.
In this example, according to from the dish inside part laterally the part order unassigned zone is registered in the bitmap.Therefore, by specifying the next record position with a start element number, can the execution sequence cycle index.By adopting method as managing unassigned zone at the table as shown in the example 1, according to from the inside part of dish laterally the order of part unassigned zone is registered in this table, and by the sector number appointment next record reference position that enters the mouth.
In example 2, but the backup file structural region is predispensed in the volume space.Therefore, the data rewrite of latest file structure is concentrated.Yet, comprise that the standby appointed information zone of recorded information section makes data can be recorded in different positions.Consequently, preventing that medium from becoming can not use fully.
Be recorded in the start element that is provided with in the improvement bitmap in the space management structural region number by use, can obtain the record start position in the AV file area.This makes the AV file to be avoided concentrating of data rewrite simultaneously by journal.Number be registered in start element under the situation of front end of space management structure, after obtaining the space management structure, at once just can be from record start position opening entry.
In example 1, data by journal in the latest file structure zone.In example 2, at every turn more during new data, data are overwritten in the latest file structure zone.As described in the example 1, employing is recorded in the dummy section information in the space management structural region and indicates the standby address information of the position that is assigned as the latest file structure zone, but the record in latest file structure zone can sequentially and repeatedly be carried out in the backup file structural region.For example, executive logging comes more new data in the following manner.From the position in the zone assigned (promptly from latest file structure zone, position by pointer information indication) continuous position begin, on specific direction (for example, inside part part laterally from dish) unassigned zone of search, but until the tail end of backup file structural region.Distribute this zone based on Search Results, and the data in latest file structure zone are recorded in institute's assigned region.But be recorded in the latest file structure zone under the situation of tail end of backup file structural region, but begin at unassigned zone of specific direction search from the front end of backup file structural region.Distribute this zone based on Search Results, and the data in latest file structure zone are recorded in institute's assigned region.
But be appreciated that the backup file structural region to be configured and make another zone (for example, latest file structure zone) but can be assigned to the part of backup file structural region.But but distributing to the zones of different (for example, latest file structure zone) of the part of backup file structural region being configured and making it is movably in the backup file structural region.Like this, can be on specific direction record data repeatedly, but make the latest file structure zone on whole backup file structural region, distribute.
In example 2, but both can be in the AV file area also can be in the backup file structural region execution sequence cycle index.Like this, avoided concentrating of any specific region of data rewrite in whole dish.By an area dividing is become a plurality of zones and in each institute zoning the execution sequence cycle index, can improve data reliability and can improve reading speed wanting file.
By this way, therein with the zone of log file and will write down therein in the zone of the record position information of indicating the next record reference position in the first area, can be on specific direction record data repeatedly.
3. example 3
In example 3, be used for the table of the position of the record position of management document simultaneously and unassigned zone, for example be applicable to the FAT file system of hard disk or like, with the AV document order be recorded in the AV file area.
When system with the hard disk compatibility of one of structure, by the FAT file system is incorporated into CD, can be by a file system processing hard disk and CD.
In the following description, unless other detailed description is arranged, be recorded in descriptor on the information recording carrier, pointer etc. as the volume file structure and have data structure by ECMA167 or UDF (universal disc format) standard definition.
3.1 optical disc data structure
Figure 15 has shown the illustration data structure of CD 235.
Volume space has system realm 1701, latest file structure zone 1702 and AV file structure zone 1703.
Latest file structure zone 1702 comprises FAT (file allocation table) zone 1704, root directory zone 1705, AV directory area 1706 and data file zone 1707.Record FAT in FAT zone 1704, it has about the chain information of the record position of catalogue and file with about bunch information of the recording status of (cluster).
FAT is a table, has wherein write down bunch recorded information that has for the recorded information of each bunch.The bar number of bunch recorded information that is write down corresponding to bunch number.In root directory zone 1705 and AV directory area 1706 in the directory entry of record, the starting cluster of registration catalogue and file number.In example shown in Figure 15, directory entry (AVfile-a) 1713 has the starting cluster number 1 of AV file (AVfile-a) 144.The FAT chain information comprise registration thereon as bunch # 1 of the starting cluster of AV file (AVfile-a) with as bunches numbers 2 of next bunch numbering.By this way, AV file (AVfile-a) can reproduce by following chain information.In the Value section of chain information, the tail end of " EOF " indication file for example is FF8 (sexadecimal).
Bunch be a unit that is used for record management, comprise one or more sectors.In this example, one bunch approximately comprises 5000 sectors.
3.2 file logging is handled
Figure 16 has shown the process of the file logging processing that is used for log file on CD 235.File logging is handled by information record and transcriber shown in Figure 2 and is carried out.To describe the step shown in Figure 16 in detail below.
(S1801) systems control division divides 201 front ends in latest file structure zone 1702 to read a FAT from FAT zone 1704, search be marked as origin information bunch number, and sequentially obtain information from bunch number beginning of mark about unassigned zone according to ascending order.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as space management structure pen recorder 251.
(S1802) systems control division divides 201 sequentially to write down the AV file from the starting point bunch beginning of appointment.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as file recording device 213.
(S1803) systems control division divide 201 in the latest file structure zone record comprise AV directory area, root directory zone, data file and FAT zone about the information of the AV file that write down.Among Ji Lu the FAT, upgrade bunch information of origin information here with chain information and institute's log file.For example, in displayed record among Figure 15 of the data structure after the AV file (AVfile-c) 146, the next record starting point is a bunch #56.Therefore, " 1 " is registered as the origin information of bunch #56 of FAT 1710.Systems control division divides 201 aforesaid operations for example to divide the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as basic file structure pen recorder 261.
The second period of the journal that the inside part in the AV file area carries out in the Outboard Sections has been described in this example.In the restricted information recording carrier of data rewrite number of times, in first circulation and follow-up circulation in the AV file area execution sequence cycle index in a similar fashion.
In order to describe for simplicity, control documents is a data file, and it is registered as the part in latest file structure zone.Control documents does not have any bunch number, is managed by logic sector number.Another way is, data file can be recorded in the AV file area bunch in, as the data file of the information that is used to control the AV file.
In example 3, AV directory area, root directory zone, data file and FAT zone are recorded in the latest file structure zone according to basic file structure pen recorder 261.FAT has a structure, and this structure has the function of space management structure, but also execute file management of FAT.Therefore, FAT is handled by basic file structure pen recorder and basic file structure transcriber.
In example 3, be used for origin information position 1 record of execution sequence record.Obviously, origin information can be worth (for example FFh) indication with other.
In example 3, can also adopt a data structure (as FAT) to obtain the reference position of journal, in this data structure, manage by same table about the information of unassigned zone and the chain information of file.In this case, the AV file also can be by journal, avoids the concentrating of data rewrite in the AV file area simultaneously.
In example 2, start element number is registered in the front end of space management structure.In example 3, origin information is registered as the part about the information of each bunch in the space management structure.Under origin information is registered in about the situation in the reserve bytes of the information of each bunch, this file system can with the compatible and spread F AT standard not of existing computer operating system.
The two-stage defect management method of describing in example 2 can be applicable to the latest file structure zone that comprises the FAT zone in this example.
Owing to bunch can being registered among the FAT 1710 in the FAT zone 1704 that the appearance of the defective in the AV file area becomes and can not use.In this case, registration FFh is for example as the value of origin information.
4. example 4
In example 4, with describe when AV file, control documents and volume file structure by journal at an a kind of illustration defect management method wherein on the restricted dish of data rewrite number of times the time.
With the same in example 1, even by adopting journal to avoid data rewrite to concentrate in the situation of appearance that a specific region prevents defect area, along with the access times of dish increase, the number of defect area also increases.
In the following description, defect area comprises the zone that wherein can not write down or reproduce data, and its least unit is 1 ECC piece.

(S2007) when data being recorded in the latest file structure zone 131, detect under the situation of defect area the processing of execution in step (S2008) and following steps.When finishing record under the situation that is not detecting defective, end file record is handled.
(S2008) systems control division divides 201 to upgrade the defect list structures and about the register information of space management structure.Be can not the distributing in the spatial flow of defect list structure, registration is about the positional information of new detected defect area.From being the positional information of eliminating about new detected defect area of to distribute the spatial flow of space management structure.
(S2009) systems control division divides 201 unassigned zones of specifying subsequently, so as in the latest file structure that is updated record data.
The systems control division of describing in step (S2001) to (S2009) divides 201 operational example as dividing the control program of setting up in 201 to realize by carrying out at systems control division, as basic file structure pen recorder 261.
In the recording processing of AV file in this example, will be owing to not finishing the former of record thereby be identified as defect area when the record of carrying out not with check from its zone returning error reporting.
Usually, the data that are recorded in volume structure zone and the latest file structure zone are had check ground record, the data that are recorded in the AV file area are not with check ground record.Another way is that the data that are recorded in the AV file area can be had check ground record.The data that are recorded in volume structure zone and the latest file structure zone can be with check ground record.The data that are recorded in the AV file area can be come record by the identification that has about there not being defect area, so that save the required time of alternate process.In this case, when the reproduction of file, distinguish defect area.
For the characteristic changing defect management method according to file, zone that is used to write down the data that a kind of defect management method adopts can be separated from each other with a zone that is used to write down a kind of different data that defect management method adopted.
Can not also can be registered as a defect area from its zone of reproducing file.
The positional information that is registered as the defect area of indistributable spatial flow is used to the medium reformatting.Therefore, need to keep indistributable spatial flow content until medium by reformatting.
The positional information of detected defect area can be recorded in outside the volume space.For example, this positional information can be managed in the registration piece of the recorded information section in the example 1.
The method of Miao Shuing can be applied to example 3 in this example.When carrying out defect management, record data when skipping defect area, and defect information is registered among the FAT.
As mentioned above, in this example, in the journal that repeats on rewritable media, can carry out the record in follow-up zone, alternatively not avoid detected defect area simultaneously.Like this, detected therein defect level under the situation of the re-writable recording medium of marked change, does not need to obtain in advance a spare area or expansion spare area when it lacks according to service condition.The zone of medium can be used effectively.
5. example 5
In example 5, make the restricted dish of data rewrite number of times about the result that increases as density, with describe one be used for from the inside part of dish laterally the inlet sector number of part execution sequence cycle index the illustration data structure with and the illustration update method.
In this example, the inlet sector number is recorded in the volume space by file system management, rather than in the recorded information section.
In example 1, the recorded information section comprises a counting unit and a plurality of registration unit, so that improve the wherein reliability of the inlet sector number of the restricted dish of data rewrite number of times.
In this example, owing to progressively upgraded by the data structure of ECMA167 definition, the reliability of inlet sector number can be enhanced, and owing to write down the inlet sector number, does not need this recorded information section.Therefore, the technology of describing in this example can be applicable to universal disc.
Figure 19 is the data structure about the inlet sector number that upgrades in volume structure and write down.The function of inlet sector number 3032 is identical with the function of describing in other examples.In Figure 19, the address of the VAT ICB 157 of the VAT structural region 104 in the inlet sector number 3032 indication latest file structure zones 131.Inlet sector number 3032 is recorded in the field of preserving into the disposal system in the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor in the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence 3,011 3031.
Be recorded in the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor is that indication is recorded in the integrity information whether file structure in the volume space is in correct status.Therefore, by record entry sector number in Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor, can further improve the reliability of inlet sector number.
The positional information of Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence 3011 is recorded in the logical volume descriptor 3022 in the Volume Descriptor sequence 3010.Volume Descriptor sequence 3010 is provided with for the descriptor that writes down about a volume.Base volume descriptor 3021 and partition descriptor 3023 are recorded in the Volume Descriptor.
The positional information of Volume Descriptor sequence 3010 is recorded in the anchor Volume Descriptor pointer 3041.Anchor Volume Descriptor pointer is recorded in the fixedly sector of logic sector number 256.Though do not show that anchor Volume Descriptor pointer also is recorded in the logic sector of N-256, wherein N is the logic sector number of the outermost portion of volume space.Because anchor Volume Descriptor pointer is recorded twice,, can use another anchor Volume Descriptor pointer even when a pointer can not be read therein.
Figure 20 has shown the process that is used to upgrade with the record entry sector number.The update method of sector number below uses description to enter the mouth.
(S3001), preserve one for example corresponding to the zone of 32 sectors for the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence.Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor begins to be sequentially recorded from the front end of Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence, and last volume integrality descriptor that will write down is identified as an effective descriptor.By Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor of record in logic sector subsequently, upgrade the inlet sector number.When the logic sector that no longer includes subsequently, 00h is recorded in all logic sectors in the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence, and Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor is recorded in the front end of Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence.
(S3002) when Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor of record, check whether the logic sector with record is a defective sector.When it was not a defective sector, processing finished.When it is a defective sector, handle to proceed to step (S3003), wherein the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence is kept in the dummy section in the volume structure zone, so that the record Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor again.
By this way, data rewrite is limited in adopting same Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence under 100 times the situation of dish therein, Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor can be write down 32 * 100 times.
When redistributing a Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence, need record to be used for the logical volume descriptor of the positional information of management logic volume integrality descriptor sequence.
(S3004), preserve one for example corresponding to the zone of 16 sectors for the Volume Descriptor sequence.The logical volume descriptor has the field of an indication Volume Descriptor sequence number.When having write down a plurality of logical volume descriptor in the Volume Descriptor sequence, the logical volume descriptor with maximum Volume Descriptor sequence number is effective.In order to write down the logical volume descriptor, begin to search for the logic sector of sky from the front end of Volume Descriptor sequence.Empty logic sector opening entry logical volume descriptor from the front.When not being free logic sector, the logical volume descriptor of being had been friends in the past is recorded with 00h, so that generate the logic sector of a sky, then from the empty logic sector opening entry logical volume descriptor of front.
(S3005) when logical volume descriptor of record, whether the logic sector that inspection will be write down is a defective sector.When it was not a defective sector, processing finished.When it is a defective sector, processing proceeds to step (S3006), wherein the logical volume descriptor sequence is kept in the dummy section in the volume structure zone, so that write down Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor with base volume descriptor and partition descriptor again.
By this way, data rewrite is limited in adopting same logical volume descriptor sequence under 100 times the situation of dish therein, can be with logical volume descriptor record (16-2) * 100 time.
(S3007) when Volume Descriptor sequence of new distribution, an anchor Volume Descriptor pointer that is used to manage the positional information of Volume Descriptor sequence is updated and record.
Because the inlet sector number is progressively upgraded and record by this way, even be limited at the data rewrite number of times on 100 times the dish, record also can be performed (32 * 100) * ((16-2) * 100) * 100 times.
The step that is used to upgrade and writes down can change according to required data rewrite number of times.Obviously, when rewriteeing for 1000 times when enough, the inlet sector number can be overwritten in the same Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor sequence.
