Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a removable mass storage device and a computer readable product for storing information.
  • the CD-ROM is characterized by an ability to launch a program that is stored on the CD-ROM upon mounting the CD on the host. This ability is typically supplied by an operating system on the host by means of an "Autorun" feature, hi addition, the CD-ROM is a read-only media and the operating system prevents an application from writing data onto the CD-ROM.
  • Figure 1 shows a prior art removable mass storage device 22 with a non- optical re-writable storage area ("storage area") 20 that includes a read-only partition (CD ROM partition) 22 and a read-write partition (writable partition) 24.
  • the non- optical re-writable storage area 20 can be implemented by Flash technology.
  • the partitioning is done during the manufacturing process of the removable mass storage device. It is convenient to present these partitions to an operating system by means of standard interfaces.
  • Non-optical re-writable storage area 20 is divided into a read-only partition
  • a controller 28 provides access to the partitions to a host computing device 34 and applications running on the host by means of standard interfaces: a CD-ROM interface 30 (as described in ECMA- 168) and a mass-storage device interface 32.
  • the physical interface to the host is by means of link 26.
  • Controller 28 is responsible for translating the standard interfaces presented to the host into the appropriate commands understood by the underlying flash memory.
  • Updating the entire emulated CD-ROM is risky because data can be corrupted during the update. For example, a user can unwittingly remove the device while an update is in progress. In this case, the contents of the emulated CD-ROM are likely to become corrupted. As a result, the CD partition may be unusable, thereby rendering the device as a whole unusable.
  • a second problem in updating is the potential lengthy amount of time required to replace the entire contents of the CD partition.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a prior art update process of CD-ROM partition 22 within a removable mass storage device 22. This update typically occurs after the manufacturing process is completed.
  • a CD-ROM partition image 42 precedes a writeable partition 44, which together form the total capacity of the storage device.
  • an application creates an updated version of the CD-ROM partition 40 and replaces 46 the old partition 42A by the new partition 4OA.
  • the new partition 40A is larger than the old partition 42, so the writeable partition 48 has to be smaller than the original writeable partition 44.
  • the result is a CD-ROM with an updated partition.
  • a removable mass storage device that include: a non-optical re-writable storage area adapted to store a compact disc recordable (CDR) session representation; and a controller, adapted participate in an emulation of a CDR.
  • a removable mass storage device that includes: a non-optical re-writable storage area adapted to store representations of multiple sessions; and a controller, adapted to generate metadata representative of representations of multiple sessions that are stored on the non-optical re-writable storage area.
  • a computer readable medium having computer-readable code embodied therein for authorizing access to a network includes instructions for: receiving information to be stored on a removable mass storage device; and storing a compact disc recordable (CDR) session representation on a non- optical re-writable storage area of the removable mass storage device; wherein the CDR session representation comprises the received information.

  • the system and method for storing information do not allow an update (re- write) of a CDR session representation but rather only adds representations of other CDR sessions.
  • a CDR session representation includes a next CDR session pointer.
  • This pointer can point to another CDR session representation.
  • the next CDR session pointer can also point to an area that does not store a CDR session representation.
  • the controller or a host that interacts with the controller can determine that the next CDR session pointer belongs to the most updated CDR session representation.
  • a pointer to a new CDR session representations is updated to point to that new CDR session representation only after a successful completion of writing (and optionally checking) of that new
  • a non-optical re-writable storage area acts as a double buffer - one area is allocated for a "current" CDR session representation from which information can be read while another area is allocated for receiving the "next" CDR session representation.
  • the method and system can toggle between these two areas.
  • the replacement of one CDR session representation by another includes altering pointers such as not to point to an area that is going to be reused. According to an embodiment of the invention the alteration may involve updating a shadow directory.
  • the new CDR session representation is written on top of an older CDR session representation.
  • multiple sessions representations are stored in a non-optical re-writable storage area, emulated as a multi-session CD-R.
  • the controller has to support additional multi-session-related commands that enable the system to determine the location of the last CDR session representation. These commands can be part of the SCSI Multimedia command set in Annex I of the MMC-3 document I referenced yesterday.

  • the controller follows pointers (also referred to as next CDR pointers) and when the operating system requests the PVD of the first session, the controller returns a shadow PVD that references the shadow structure.
  • pointers also referred to as next CDR pointers
  • the shadow PVD is generated by adjusting its directory pointers to point to the directory in the last CDR session representation instead of the first.
  • the volume size in the shadow PVD is increased to include the last sector of the last CDR session representation instead of the last sector of the first CDR session representation.

  • a multi-session CD such as CD-R
  • each session has its own PVD and a directory area that includes the names and offsets of the files/directories visible in that session.
