Description

Cartridge having opening and closing recognition hole, driving method and device thereof

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical recording and reproduction for recording and reproducing digital data on a disc. Particularly, in a DVD-RAM (Digital Versatile Disc Random Access Memory) drive device, a recognition hole is opened and closed according to a cartridge open state and a disc inspection state. The present invention relates to a cartridge having an openable recognition hole, and a driving method and an apparatus thereof.

Here, the cartridge open state refers to a state in which the disc is removed from the cartridge case and used, and then put back into the case, and the disc inspection state confirms whether the disc inserted in the case is dirty or defective. Or reconfirmed and corrected for conformance with appropriate defect management practices as outlined in the applicable specification.

In addition, the term "verification", which will be used in the following description, means that when recording data on a disc, the data recorded after the original data and the data before recording are read again after the recording in order to confirm that the data has been properly recorded. Refers to a process of comparing and reading the data read afterwards, and "Certification" refers to a process of determining whether or not there is a defect over the whole or part of the disk.

In general, a DVD-RAM drive apparatus uses a cartridge to protect a disk from scratches, fingerprints, dust, and the like and to maintain stability during recording.

The use of a cartridge can protect the disk, but in the case of notebook computers, which are becoming thinner recently, there is a problem in that the thickness of the cartridge causes limitations in making it thin.

Therefore, in order to implement a thin playback device, use of a bare disk state should be possible. However, in order to use the bare disk state, a verification process of verifying recorded data after verification must be performed due to the influence of fingerprints, scratches or dust.

When the verification process is performed, it is possible to increase the stability of data by detecting areas that are temporarily or permanently unusable due to fingerprints, wounds, or dust. There is a problem in that an access time of a driver is long because of a process of verifying whether the data is correctly recorded compared with the recording data stored in the driver.

On the other hand, in the case of a disc in a cartridge, since the disc is protected from scratches, fingerprints, or dust, there is a high possibility that a recording error may occur even after continuing to read recorded data without verifying the unusable area of the disc. Is reduced. Therefore, most recording and reproducing apparatus employs a cartridge so that verification after recording is not required.

The DVD-RAM standard, however, defines three cartridge types. In addition, it is set whether or not the disc is taken out of the case, and this recognition hole is defined as an A1 sensor hole. In the case of double sided, only the A1 and B1 recognition holes are defined corresponding to both sides.

The first type of cartridge is equipped with single-sided or double-sided discs and cannot be removed from the disc. The second type of cartridge is equipped with a single-sided disc, and although the disc can be taken out, once the disc is removed from the case, the A1 recognition hole that recognizes that the disc has been removed is changed to an open state so that it cannot be closed again. You can check if the disc has been removed from the case. The third type of cartridge has a structure in which the A1 recognition hole for determining whether the disc is removed from the case is opened from the beginning so that the disc can be freely taken out of the case and placed in the case. Here, the cartridge is composed of a disc and a case, and the disc in the case is collectively referred to as a cartridge.

On the other hand, according to the DVD-RAM standard, the second type cartridge and the third type cartridge in which the disk is once taken out of the case are used under the same conditions as the bare disk. In other words, the second type of cartridge that has been removed from the case once is the same condition as the third type of cartridge, and the disc loaded in this type of cartridge cannot accurately determine the condition of dust, fingerprints or wounds. Therefore, it is handled on the same conditions as a bare disk. Therefore, since a verification process is required after recording, the processing speed of data is reduced during recording and reproduction.

Table 1 below shows the cartridge types and the corresponding A1 recognition holes.

TABLE 1

As shown in Table 1 above, in the case of the second type cartridge and the third type cartridge in which the disk has been once removed from the case, the disk can be ejected while the disk is substantially protected from the case. Due to the possibility of being used under the same conditions as the bare disk, there arises a problem that the advantages of the cartridge using the case cannot be utilized.

That is, in the second type cartridge and the third type cartridge that can replace the disc, when the disc is taken out of the case to replace the disc, the A1 recognition hole is opened to recognize that the disc has been ejected. The A1 recognition hole in the open state cannot be returned forever. Accordingly, when the cartridge containing the new disc is inserted into the driving device, the A1 recognition hole is in the open state. Therefore, the driving device performs the post-write verification process. I think that. In this case, the verification process may not be necessary depending on the disc that has been exchanged. However, if the A1 recognition hole is open, the driving unit performs the verification process after recording unconditionally. This is a delay.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by opening and closing the recognition hole in accordance with the cartridge open state and the disc inspection state, even when the disc is replaced, if the user confirms the disc state, recording without additional verification It is an object of the present invention to provide a cartridge having a recognition hole which can be opened and closed.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge driving method capable of controlling the open position of the recognition hole in the cartridges of the second type and the third type to the closed position after checking the disk state.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for driving a cartridge having an opening and closing recognition hole as described above.

The second recognition hole may use the A3 recognition hole provided in the DVD-RAM standard. In this case, the recognition hole opening and closing means is provided in the opening cover of the position corresponding to the A3 recognition hole so as to be able to move to the closed state position and the open state position of the A3 recognition hole, and the opening and closing opening to selectively open the A3 recognition hole, The opening / closing device includes a tension rib for elastically supporting the opening / closing opening so as to maintain the closed state position of the A3 recognition hole, and locking means for holding the moving position of the opening / closing opening moved to the open state position of the A3 recognition hole. The locking means includes a locking protrusion protruding on one side of the upper surface of the opening and closing portion, and a locking step formed on one side of the inner surface of the cartridge case so as to correspond to the locking protrusion.

The opening and closing port of the recognition hole opening and closing means may be extended and formed to the position of the A1 recognition hole. In such a case, a through hole corresponding to the A1 recognition hole is formed in the expansion part of the opening and closing hole, and the tab blocking the A1 recognition hole is installed in one of the inner circumferential surface of the through hole and the cartridge case to remove the tab. In this state, the opening and closing port is not moved.

Here, the A3 recognition hole has only the closed state when the A1 recognition hole is closed, and has two states, the closed and the open state when the A1 recognition hole is open, and indicates that verification is required during recording in the closed state, and recording is performed in the open state. Indicates that no verification is required.

On the other hand, the second recognition hole may be configured to use the A3 recognition hole suggested in the DVD-RAM standard, the A3 recognition hole is positioned adjacent to the anti-recording recognition hole, so that the two recognition holes can be linked and opened. . In this case, the recognition hole opening and closing means includes a left and right locking jaw formed adjacent to the outer end of the A3 recognition hole and the write preventing recognition hole formed on the cartridge case, and one of the two recognition holes by the respective locking jaw.

Indicates that this is necessary and that in the open state, verification is not required at the time of recording.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cartridge includes a cartridge case, an opening cover which is supported by the disc so that the disc can be taken out or stored in the cartridge case and detachably mounted in the rear opening of the case. And an oval recognition hole having a recognition hole and a recording prevention recognition hole integrated therein, a left and right locking jaw formed adjacent to both sides of the elliptical recognition hole, and respective locking jaws. Only one of the two recognition holes are controlled in a closed state, and if not elastically includes a sensor lever positioned in the center to control both recognition holes in the closed state.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of driving a cartridge having an openable recognition hole, the method comprising: (a) determining whether a recognition hole of an inserted cartridge indicates a first state that a disc has been ejected from the cartridge; (b) performing a confirmation process if the recognition hole is in the first state, and (c) controlling the switching of the recognition hole to the inspection state when the confirmation process is completed.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cartridge driving method further comprises the step (d) of recording data without verification after performing step (c).

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cartridge driving method further comprises the step (e) of recording data through verification without performing the verification process while the recognition hole is in the first state.

Step (a) may further include a step (a1) of generating recommendation information that, when the recognition hole of the inserted cartridge is recognized as the first state, the processing speed may be increased when the user undergoes a confirmation process.

In addition, the step (b) may further include a step (b1) of performing the verification process in a state of preserving the already recorded data, and generating recommended information to clean the disc when the defect is more than a predetermined level. Can be.

In addition, step (c) may further include a step (c1) of generating recommendation information that setting the recognition hole to the inspection state may increase the processing speed of data without verification. Here, the inspection state refers to the second state in which the recognition hole has never been ejected from the cartridge.

In this driving method, if the recognition hole is the A1 recognition hole proposed by the DVD-RAM standard, the first state is an open state and the second state is a closed state.

If the recognition hole is the A3 recognition hole proposed in the DVD-RAM standard, the first state is a closed state, and the second state is an open state.

In addition, if the recognition hole is a recognition hole having an A1 recognition hole which can determine whether or not the disk is removed from the cartridge case and cannot be opened and closed again, the first state is a closed state, and the second state is an open state.

Further, if the recognition hole is a recognition hole in which opening and closing is controlled by one sensor lever adjacent to the write prevention recognition hole proposed in the DVD-RAM standard, the first state is a closed state and the second state is an open state.

On the other hand, the cartridge driving method of the present embodiment further includes the step (f) of prohibiting the recording by giving an advantage over the state of the recognition hole when the recording prevention recognition hole is opened.

A device for driving a cartridge having an opening and closing recognition hole for achieving another object of the present invention, by selectively inserted into the first recognition hole of the cartridge to be inserted into the 'on / off' operation while opening or closing the recognition hole A first recognition switch applied to the microcomputer as a predetermined signal; And a second recognition switch for selectively opening or closing the second recognition hole as a predetermined signal to the microcomputer while being 'on / off' by being selectively inserted into the second recognition hole for checking the opened state of the cartridge to be inserted. Accordingly, when the recognition hole is in the closed state by recognizing the opening / closing state of the first recognition hole, it is determined that the disc has never been removed from the cartridge case and recorded without verification, and when the recognition hole is in the open state, the disc is in the cartridge case. It determines that it has been taken out of and generates information to perform the verification process. If the second recognition hole is in the closed state by recognizing the opening / closing state of the second recognition hole while the first recognition hole is open, it is determined that the disc has been removed from the cartridge case and that no proper measures are taken. If the second recognition hole is in the open state, it is judged that the disc has been taken out of the cartridge case, but the appropriate action (cleaning and defect check) has been taken and recorded without verification.

The above objects and other advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows an assembled state of a cartridge according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the cartridge shown in FIG. 1.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a cartridge case, which consists of an upper shell 20 and a lower shell 30. Reference numeral 40 denotes an opening cover, and 50 denotes a sensor lever.

1 shows the position of the A1 recognition hole 24, the position of the sensor lever 50 for opening and closing it, and the relative position of the opening cover 40 for removing the disk from the case. The A1 recognition hole 24 has an oval shape, and the A1 recognition hole 24 has a structure that can open and close the position of the A1 recognition hole 24 using the sensor lever 50. The protect lever 46 opens and closes the recording prevention recognition hole 26 which is generally employed to prevent the user from erasing or overwriting a disc containing important contents by a wrong operation.

According to Fig. 2, the opening cover 40 is assembled by inserting the rotary shaft 41 into the support holes 21 and 31 formed in the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30, respectively. It is configured to be opened by rotating motion in the closed state.

The sensor lever 50 is assembled through the sensor lever support hole 22 in the upper shell 20 and the sensor lever support hole 32 in the lower shell 30. The sensor lever 50 has an opening and closing port 52 located in the A1 recognition holes 24 and 34 and a tension section 54 in contact with the side surfaces of the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30. The tension part 54 applies a constant tension to the sensor lever 50 while contacting the side surfaces of the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30, whereby the opening cover 40 is not mounted or is open in A1. The opening and closing port 52 is located in the direction in which the recognition holes 24 and 34 are open.

On the other hand, the opening cover 40 has a first locker 42 and a second locker 44, respectively. The first locker 42 together with the respective locking grooves 28 and 38 in the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30 serves to prevent the opening cover 40 from opening under normal use conditions. If the user needs to open the opening cover 40 to eject the disc, the opening cover 40 is released by pushing the first locker 42 into the case through the locking grooves 28 and 38 to release the lock. I can open it from a case.

In addition, in the state in which the opening cover 40 is closed, the second locker 44 makes an elastic jaw at an intermediate position of the A1 recognition hole 24, as shown in the plan view of FIG. When the opening and closing port 52 of the 50 is in the closed position, the opening and closing port 52 supports the opening and closing port 52 with sufficient force so that the opening and closing port 52 does not return by the elasticity of the tension portion 54 of the sensor lever 50. do.

4 shows the opening and closing port 52 of the sensor lever 50 in the state that the opening cover 40 is open.

On the other hand, the protect lever 46 of FIG. 2 is a combination of the elasticity of the protect lever 46 and the locking jaw 48 together with the locking jaw 48 so as to close or open the detection position of the write prevention recognition hole 26. It is.

The structure as shown in FIG. 2 capable of opening and closing the A1 recognition hole 24 described so far is merely an example, and there may be other examples. In addition, there may be an application example in which the A1 recognition hole (or B1 recognition hole) on both sides of the double-sided disk is automatically opened, and the user closes the recognition hole after performing a confirmation process for checking for defects.

According to the above structure, the cartridge of the present invention automatically opens the A1 recognition hole when the opening cover of the cartridge case is opened, and is positioned in the open position even when the opening cover is closed, but the user checks or reconfirms the disc. By making it possible to make it into the closed position after performing the above operation, the problem of lowering the recording speed by verification at the time of recording can be solved.

That is, the present invention is the same as the physical form and function of the conventional case for the cartridge of the second type and the third type, the second type of cartridge is redefined to be in a state capable of recording without verification, and the third The cartridge of the type redefines as a cartridge to be verified at the time of recording, presents a condition that can be recorded without verification, and provides a structure that allows the user to close the A1 recognition hole again if such conditions are satisfied. The recording speed can be improved.

Therefore, the condition of using the cartridge without verification proposed in the present invention is a case where the disc is once taken out from the cartridge case.

TABLE 2

In other words, the present invention in the existing second type and third type of cartridge, if the disc is once taken out of the case, even if it is put back, the verification process during recording under the same conditions as the bare disc, the recording speed is slow To solve the loss problem, the A1 recognition hole, which recognizes whether the disc has been ejected for the second type and the third type of cartridge, automatically opens when the disc is ejected and the user closes it after checking the disc's status. Allows recording under the same conditions as the second type cartridge, which was not ejected. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5.

In Fig. 5, once the disc is removed from the case of the second type or third type cartridge and the cartridge inserted again is inserted (step S101), it is determined whether the A1 recognition hole is in the open position (step S102). ).

In step S102, when the A1 recognition hole is in the open position, after determining whether to perform a check process for determining a defect state (step S103), a check process is performed (step S104).

The verification process of the present invention performs the verification process performed according to the format defined in the DVD-RAM standard, while maintaining the previously recorded data unlike the initialization process of ignoring previously recorded data. A revalidation process must be performed to confirm. In addition, in the case where a defect portion of a predetermined level or more is found in the step S104 of reconfirming, a step of notifying the user and generating information recommending that the disk be decontaminated again in an appropriate manner is further included. It may also include. The procedure or processing method for the re-validation process is easily understood and implemented by those skilled in the art, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, in step S102, when the recognition hole is recognized in the cartridge inserted in the open position, it may further include the step of generating the recommendation information that can increase the use speed if the user performs the re-check process.

When the reconfirmation process is completed, setting the A1 recognition hole to the closed position generates information indicating that the processing speed of data can be increased without verification (step S105).

When the cartridge is used after the A1 recognition hole of the cartridge where the reconfirmation process is completed is raised to the closed position, the recording operation can be performed without verification.

On the other hand, in step S102, when the A1 recognition hole is in the closed position, the cartridge performs a recording operation without verification (step S106). In operation S103, if the A1 recognition hole is in the open position and the verification process is not performed, the recording operation is performed while verifying (operation S107). This step S107 is for corresponding to the third type of cartridge.

As described above, the cartridge according to the present invention can be used even when the disk is removed from the second type of cartridge and used in a bare disk state or when a disk originally used in a bare disk state is inserted into the cartridge (the third type of Cartridges), and in some cases, do not perform verification during recording. That is, before inserting the disc into the cartridge, the dust or fingerprints on the disc are removed in the proper way specified by the disc manufacturer, and the disc is placed in the case. If the defects identified through the defect identification process such as contamination or scratch that have not been removed and their processing information are recorded in accordance with the disc defect management method specified in the DVD-RAM specification, close the A1 recognition hole again. So that you can record without verification. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the processing speed of data from being lowered due to verification.

In the above description, the case of using the A1 recognition hole defined in the DVD-RAM standard has been described. However, in order to achieve the same purpose, a new recognition hole may be set, or an A3 recognition hole may be used in which the function of the DVD-RAM specification is specified but its function is not defined. In the case of using a new recognition hole or A3 recognition hole, it is possible to distinguish that the disc is processed again so that the user can use the disc without verification while maintaining the function of the A1 recognition hole to check the state of the original maker enclosed in the case. There is an advantage.

Hereinafter, a case of using the A3 recognition hole as a new recognition hole will be described in detail.

6, there is shown a cartridge having an A3 recognition hole which can be opened and closed according to the second embodiment of the present invention. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA showing the opening cover of the cartridge shown in Figure 6, Figure 8 is a plan view of the lower shell showing the recognition hole of the cartridge shown in Figure 6, Figure 9 is a horizontal view of the cartridge shown in Figure 6 It is a front view of the opening cover which showed the recognition hole. 10A, 10B, and 10C are functional diagrams of the recognition hole opening and closing means when the vertical recognition switch is used in the cartridge shown in FIG.

In the drawings, reference numerals 120 and 130 are upper and lower shells forming a cartridge case, 140 is an opening cover, and 150 is a sensor lever. Reference numeral 124 denotes an A1 recognition hole and 125 denotes an A3 recognition hole.

The A1 recognition hole 124 and the A3 recognition hole 125 are formed to penetrate the upper and lower shells 120 and 130 of the cartridge case. The A1 recognition hole 124 is a circular shape, the A3 recognition hole 125 is a rectangular long hole or oval.

The A1 recognition hole 124 is provided with a tab 124a that can be removed from the outside. Once the tab 124a is removed, it cannot be returned forever, and the removal of the tab 124a means that the disc has been removed from the cartridge case.

The A3 recognition hole 125 is selectively opened and closed by the sensor lever 150. The sensor lever 150 supports the opening and closing opening 152 and the opening and closing opening 152 installed in the space portion of the opening cover 140 to move to the closed and open positions of the A3 recognition hole 125. It is configured to include a tension rib 154.

Here, the opening and closing port 152 is elastically supported by the tension rib 154 to maintain the closed state position of the A3 recognition hole 125. In addition, a locking protrusion 152a is formed at one side of the upper surface of the opening and closing hole 152, and a locking jaw 120a is formed at the upper shell 120 corresponding thereto. The opening and closing port 152 moved to the open state position of the A3 recognition hole 125 by the structure of the locking protrusion 152a and the locking step 120a may maintain the moved position. In addition, a groove 152b for moving the opening and closing hole is formed at the other side of the upper surface of the opening and closing hole 152.

In addition, the return lever 141 is provided at the opening cover 140 adjacent to the outside of the opening and closing port 152. The return lever 141 moves to the closed state by pushing the opening / closing door 152 moved to the open state position of the A3 recognition hole 125 in conjunction with the opening operation of the opening cover 140. Accordingly, the opening and closing hole 152 may be automatically returned to the initial state, that is, the closed state position of the A3 recognition hole 125 when the opening cover 140 is opened and closed again.

On the other hand, the opening cover 140 is mounted to the case so that the pair of locking protrusions 142 provided on both sides of the opening cover 140 is not caught by being locked to the locking groove 111 provided on both sides of the cartridge case, and locking protrusions on both sides. 142 is pulled out while pulling out from the case.

A guide rib 144 is formed along the periphery of the disc support of the opening cover 140 to securely support the disc. In addition, the center of the front portion of the opening cover 140 is formed with a marking portion 146 that can be stamped on both sides of the letter or shape.
