Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically execute cleaning of a recording medium by detecting indirectly contamination on the surface of the recording medium by the number of alternate sectors, and outputting a command for cleaning the recording medium when such contamination reaches the allowable quantity set in advance. CONSTITUTION:The number of previous error sectors of a recording medium 1 is counted by a counting means 2 and recorded in advance in the recording medium 1. Subsequently, the number of present error sectors is counted by the counting means 2, and a difference between this counting value and the previous counting value is calculated by an arithmetic means 3. The result of this operation is sent to a comparing means 4. In such a means, the result of operation is compared with the allowable number of error sectors set in advance. As a result, when an arithmetic value reaches the allowable number of error sectors, a signal for cleaning the recording medium 1 is outputted. In such a way, the recording medium 1 can be cleaned automatically.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, information recording media such as magneto-optical disks or recording/reproducing devices thereof have a semi-permanent lifespan and are used for a very long time. Therefore, dirt and dust gradually adhere to the surface of the information recording medium or the surface of the recording head, resulting in problems such as an increase in the number of unplayable areas on the recording medium. In such a case, the -8 error correction process of the ECC circuit will not necessarily cause an error in the place where dirt or dust has adhered, but the error correction process will take time and the playback time will become longer. A cleaner dedicated to magneto-optical disks and recording heads has been proposed, and this cleaner has been incorporated into devices to clean the surfaces of disks and recording heads.

In FIG. 1, ``■'' is a recording medium such as an optical disk, the recording area of which is divided into a plurality of sectors, and information is recorded and reproduced in sector units. Furthermore, if there is a defect in the sector, a replacement process is performed in which information about the defective sector is written to a previously prepared alternative sector. The counting unit 2 is a counter that counts the number of sectors replaced by one alternative sector when a defective sector occurs. This counting unit 2 first counts the number of replacement sectors of the initial recording medium l, and performs a process of writing the counted value in a predetermined recording area of the recording medium l. It also counts the number of sectors and outputs the counting results to the calculation unit 3.

The calculation unit 3 compares the initial number of replacement sectors previously written in a predetermined recording area of the recording medium 1 with the current number of replacement sectors sent from the counting unit 2 as the number of replacement sectors of the initial recording medium 1. This is a calculation circuit that calculates the difference. The comparison unit 4 is a comparison circuit that compares the calculation result sent from the calculation unit 3 and the number of allowable error sectors set in advance in the setting unit 5. As a result of comparing the two in the comparison section 4, if the calculated value reaches the allowable number of error sectors, the comparison section 4 outputs a cleaning command signal instructing to clean the recording medium l. That is, the calculation result is the difference between the initial number of replacement sectors and the current number of replacement sectors, and is the increase in the number of replacement sectors.

On the other hand, if the address cannot be read correctly, a replacement sector process is performed in which information corresponding to the replacement sector is written in the replacement sector, and the address is also written in the disc information recording area 6. After this, replacement sector processing is performed in S5. The number of replacement sectors that have been replaced is counted again by the counting unit 2, and the current number n of replacement sectors obtained here is rewritten with the previously written initial number m of replacement sectors.

First, in S1, the initial number m of replacement sectors previously written to the recording medium l is read, and in S2, the current number n of replacement sectors is read.Next, in S3, the previous number m of replacement sectors and the current number of replacement sectors are read. The calculation unit 3 calculates the difference between the number of sectors n, and then the comparison unit 4 calculates the difference y(
If the relationship y=n-m>a holds true, then the increase in replacement sectors is equal to the allowable number of sectors. Since a certain set value a has been reached, it is determined that the dirt and dust stains on the surface of the recording medium l have reached the permissible value. Therefore, at this time, a command signal is outputted in S4 to clean the surface of the recording medium l. On the other hand, in S3 y=n−
If the relationship m<a holds true, it is determined that the dirt on the surface of the recording medium l has not reached the allowable value, and in this case, normal operation is performed in S5.

As described above, in the present invention, the number of replacement sectors is initially counted and recorded, and the difference between this value and the current number of replacement sectors is calculated to calculate the increase in the number of replacement sectors. When the recording medium becomes dirty, the number of replacement sectors increases, so the degree of dirt is proportional to the number of replacement sectors. Therefore, as described above, by calculating the difference between the initial and current number of replacement sectors, the amount of increase in dirt on the recording medium is indirectly detected. Then, the obtained increase in the number of replacement sectors is compared with a preset allowable number of sectors, and when the increase in the number of replacement sectors reaches the number of allowable sectors, a command signal for cleaning the recording medium is output. Therefore, when the recording medium becomes dirty, a cleaning command signal is output when a certain set amount of dirt is reached.

In addition, when the current number of replacement sectors is counted, the previously written number of replacement sectors is rewritten to the current number as described above. Therefore, when the number of replacement sectors is counted next, the rewriting is performed. The difference between the number of replacement sectors and the number of replacement sectors is calculated, and the increase from the previous number of replacement sectors is calculated.

Although it is divided into three areas: a replacement area and a disc information recording area, the present invention treats these three areas as one zone,
It can also be effectively used in a method of forming a plurality of zones on a recording medium. Further, although the increase in replacement sectors is calculated by calculating the difference between replacement sectors, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to take a ratio of 1, for example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed immediately after the recording medium is loaded into the apparatus main body, immediately before or after recording, or immediately before or after reproduction.
