And first preferred embodiment of the utility model CD-ROM device face equipment 1 is to comprise a plate body 11, to be located at display unit 12 on the plate body 11, and the circuit unit 13 of a driving display unit 12, and display unit 12 is to include a plurality of light-emitting components 121, in this example, light-emitting component 121 is to adopt eight light emitting diodes (LED), and makes each light-emitting component 121 utilize optical material in the linearly aligned mode that is a horizontal straight line one by one light to be appeared on plate body 11 visible one sides.In addition, 13 of circuit units are electrically connected at the electromechanical assembly 2 of CD-ROM device inside, can drive display unit 12 behind the associated electrical signal that receiver electric installation 2 produces sends corresponding expression signal, as for how to represent will narrate in the back.In addition, identical with the traditional panel device construction, also can be provided with a plurality of operating keys, earphone jack, Headphone Volume Control or the like structure on the plate body 11.

Again with reference to figure 4, second preferred embodiment of the CD-ROM device of the utility model shown in figure face equipment 1, identical with the first preferred embodiment basic framework, plate body 11 is provided with a display unit 12, and the circuit unit 13 of a driving display unit 12, itself and first embodiment do not exist together and only be: display unit 12 is to use 14 light-emitting components 121, with per seven light-emitting components 121 is one group of 8 font kenel of utilizing light transmissive material to be arranged in seven joint formulas, can be in order to represent the variation of arabic numeral, so all light-emitting components 121 can be represented two arabic numeral altogether, behind circuit unit 13 receiver electric installations 2 associated electrical signals, can utilize flickering of this light-emitting component 121 to arrange out the number that two figure places are formed.

The application that display unit 12 designs of the face equipment 1 of above-mentioned first preferred embodiment or second preferred embodiment all can have two aspects, one is the data-recording status information of display light video disc recorded data amount, and another then is the CD-RW discsCD-RW data-recording status information of burning data progress percentage in the burning process.The application of two aspects can be selected wherein arbitrary employing, or application that can two aspects possesses simultaneously.

As Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, application with regard to display light video disc recorded data amount, general CD-ROM device (comprising compact disc-recordable) is after CD-RW discsCD-RW enters CD-ROM device, inner electromechanical assembly 2 can read on the CD-RW discsCD-RW file structure of burning data, as TOC (Table of Content) or UDF fileinfo, obtaining CD-RW discsCD-RW available data amount whereby is the length measurements of unit with time.For example, the general the longest recordable data capacity of CD-RW discsCD-RW is 80 minutes, utilize the expression mode of Fig. 5 first preferred embodiment display unit 12, in eight light-emitting components 121 arranged side by side, each light-emitting component 121 is represented ten minutes data length, therefore in case but electromechanical assembly 2 reads and detects data volume length that CD-RW discsCD-RW write down when being 40 minutes discontented 50 minutes, circuit unit 13 promptly receives the electronic signal of electromechanical assembly 2 correspondences and drives display unit 12, make that lighting adjacent four light-emitting components 121 from left to right represents, if CD-RW discsCD-RW recorded data amount length is 30 minutes discontented 40 minutes, or 50 minutes discontented 60 minutes the time, the rest may be inferred then to light adjacent three light-emitting components 121 or adjacent five light-emitting components 121 etc. respectively.Utilize the mode of Fig. 6 second preferred embodiment then can directly show double-digit time span, be that CD-RW discsCD-RW recorded data length is 50 minutes, the light-emitting component 121 of 13 driving display units 12 of circuit unit is arranged out the binary digit of " 50 ", and the rest may be inferred for all the other.Like this, as long as the user puts into CD-ROM device with CD-RW discsCD-RW, can be directly by learning the amount of capacity of the recorded data of the CD-RW discsCD-RW of putting on the face equipment 1 at a glance, even can estimate out the data volume size that this CD-RW discsCD-RW still can Gong write.

Again with regard to display light video disc in the burning process application of burning data progress percentage, mainly be to be used on the compact disc-recordable, and because compact disc-recordable can't learn in advance that the user desires the total amount of data of burning and calculates the number percent of schedule in the burning process according to this, therefore must be at the control device 3 (being generally the host computer of carrying out burn recording software) of an outside that electrically connects with compact disc-recordable, and both some changes of communication interface intercropping of the electromechanical assembly 2 of compact disc-recordable, promptly 2 of the electromechanical assemblies of control device 3 externally and compact disc-recordable are formulated an interface command, burn recording software be about to transmit data to compact disc-recordable with before carrying out burn job, the total amount of control device 3 being desired burning data by interface command is sent to compact disc-recordable earlier, again by compact disc-recordable in the burning process, the data volume that every interval certain hour is about to burning is calculated the ratio of burning data total amount, then this ratio signal is sent to circuit unit 13 and drives display unit 12 and showed; Another way also can make burn recording software timing ga(u)ge in the burning process calculate the number percent of schedule, by interface command, this number percent signal directly is sent to compact disc-recordable, makes circuit unit 13 can drive display unit 12 it is showed.Like this, being linearly aligned display unit 12 with eight light-emitting components 121 of first preferred embodiment is example, each light-emitting component 121 can be represented 12.5% progress respectively, therefore desire represents that from 0% to 100% can whenever finish from left to right and lighted corresponding light-emitting component 121 at 12.5% o'clock one by one in regular turn and get final product, for example finish and to light adjacent four light-emitting components 121 at 50% o'clock from left to right, and treat to represent the burning process all to finish when all light-emitting components 121 are lighted all from left to right one by one.Expression with second preferred embodiment, two figure place numerals is then more clear, directly the number percent with burning process schedule directly shows with double-digit kenel, as finish the numeral that 50% o'clock display unit 12 is promptly arranged out " 50 ", and the mode that can adopt flicker simultaneously represents that it is in the burning state, and shown numeral is then upgraded change up to all finishing synchronously according to the actual burn progress.So needn't check the progress that burn recording software is shown, the user can directly directly be learnt the completeness of whole burning process by the face equipment 1 of compact disc-recordable.

Conclude above-mentioned, CD-ROM device face equipment 1 of the present utility model, by a plurality of light-emitting component 121 formed display units 12, be different from the design that general CD-ROM device or compact disc-recordable have only single pilot lamp, and provide more various state representation mode, still can not learn the loaded CD-RW discsCD-RW data capacity of burning, more can be in order to show the number percent of burning progress in the burning process, significantly improve the convenience that CD-ROM device is used, and more increase the diversity of CD-ROM device face equipment 1, so can reach the purpose of this utility model really.
