Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the compatibility and reliability of information. SOLUTION: An information recording carrier 1 capable of being attached to and detached from the device holds a historic information indicating the device which has applied the last recording action to the own identifier and its carrier. An information transfer judging circuit 5 judges whether the information transfer to the carrier has finished or not and a history judging circuit 6 judges whether the carrier 1 has been the subject of transfer before interrupting the power source or not. When it is judged that the information transfer is unfinished and the carrier was a subject of transfer before the interruption of the power source, the information of non-volatile memory 8 is written into the carrier 1. By this, even when an interruption of the power source causes untransferred information to occur, the consistency and reliability of information is obtained by retransfering the information to the carrier to be recorded after the power source is turned on again.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, information recording devices such as magnetic disk devices have been known, and some of these devices have a function of temporarily storing information. In this information recording apparatus, even if the power is suddenly cut off during the recording operation, the information being recorded is retained so that the information retained after the power is turned on can be written to the information record carrier. . By the way, regarding the information recording carrier that can be attached to and detached from the information recording device, the carrier that is mounted when the power is turned on again is not necessarily the same as the carrier that was mounted before the power was turned off. . However, the conventional information recording apparatus has no means for confirming whether or not the carrier is the same, and if the held information is written without confirming the carrier, the information is written on a carrier different from the carrier to be originally recorded. It is possible.

As described above, in the information recording apparatus for recording / reproducing information on / from the removable information recording carrier, the mounted carrier is turned off when the power is turned on again. Since it is not always the same as the mounted carrier, it is difficult to transfer the information that could not be transferred due to the power off to the carrier to be recorded after the power is turned on again to make the information consistent, There is a problem that reliability cannot be obtained because information may be accidentally written on another carrier. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the consistency and reliability of information in an information recording apparatus that records and reproduces information on a removable information record carrier.

This judgment is made based on whether or not information remains in the non-volatile memory 8. That is, the information written in the non-volatile memory 8 is erased after the transfer to the carrier 1 is completed as described later. Therefore, when the information remains in the memory 8, it is determined that the transfer is not completed and the information remains. If not, it is judged that the transfer is completed. If it is determined that the transfer has been completed, the process proceeds to step 110, and normal operation (operation according to an instruction from a host computer not shown) is performed.

When it is judged that the transfer is not completed because the information remains in the non-volatile memory 8, the history judgment circuit 6 stores the identifier read from the carrier 1 and the power supply stored in the memory 8 before power-off. Finally, the identifier of the carrier that was the transfer target is compared (step 105). If the identifiers do not match, it is determined that the carrier is not the one mounted when the power is turned off, and the process proceeds to step 110.

That is, the nonvolatile memory 8
The information remaining in the cache memory 7 is transferred to the cache memory 7, this information is converted into a recording signal by the writing circuit 9, and the laser light based on the recording signal is emitted from the optical head 3 to the carrier 1, whereby the information is recorded.

Further, the control circuit 10 erases the information remaining in the cache memory 7 and the non-volatile memory 8, and
The identifier of the carrier 1 as the carrier to be transferred is written in the non-volatile memory 8 (step 109).

As described above, in the present embodiment, the information transfer determination circuit 5 determines that the information transfer to the carrier has not been completed,
The history is determined that the identifier read from the carrier 1 matches the identifier of the carrier that was the last transfer target before power-off, and that the carrier 1 has not been subjected to recording operation by another device from power-off to the present. When the circuit 6 makes the determination, the information remaining in the non-volatile memory 8 is written to the carrier 1.

Therefore, even if untransferred information is generated due to the interruption of the power supply, the consistency of the information can be obtained by transferring the information to the carrier to be originally recorded after the power is turned on again, and the information is erroneously transferred to another carrier. Since the information is never written, the reliability can be improved.

When the write operation is performed in step 110, the information transferred from the host computer to the cache memory 7 is sent to and stored in the non-volatile memory 8. At the same time, this information is converted into a recording signal by the writing circuit 9, and laser light based on the recording signal is applied to the carrier 1 from the optical head 3 to write the information on the carrier 1.

Then, the history information written in the carrier 1 is updated as in step 108, the information remaining in the memories 7 and 8 is erased and the identifier of the carrier 1 is written in the memory 8 as in step 109. As a result, the operation after the power is turned on again can be realized. Although the cache memory 7 and the non-volatile memory 8 are separately provided in the present embodiment, a non-volatile memory may be used as the cache memory 7 itself so that the cache memory 7 also serves as the memory 8. Further, in the present embodiment, the magneto-optical disk is described as an example of the information recording carrier 1, but it goes without saying that another carrier such as a magnetic disk may be used.

When it is determined that the carrier was the transfer target before shutting off, by writing the information held in the non-volatile storage means to the carrier, even if untransferred information occurs due to sudden power shutoff, the power is restored. Information consistency can be obtained by transferring again to the carrier to be originally recorded after the input. Further, since the information is not accidentally written on another carrier, the reliability can be improved.
