Description

{Method for managing a disc information of high density optical disc}

The present invention records disc information (DI) in a Permanent Information & Control data (PIC) area of a high-density optical disc such as a reproduction-only Blu-ray Disc-ROM (BD-ROM). A disk information management method of a high density optical disk for management.

In recent years, the standardization of new high-density optical discs, such as Blu-ray Disc-Rewritable (BD-RE), which can record and store high-quality video data and high-quality audio data for a long time, has made rapid progress. As a result, related products are expected to be developed, released and commercialized.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the BD-RE has a clamping area, a transition area, a BCA area, and a lead-in area on the inner circumferential surface of the disc, and the center of the disc The outer periphery has a disk structure in which a data area and a lead-out area respectively exist.

The lead-in area may include a first guard (Guard 1) area and a PIC area, a second guard (Guard 2) area, an information 2 (Info 2) area, an OPC (Optimum Power Control) area, and the like. The first guard area and the PIC area are allocated, while the data is pre-recorded area, while the remaining lead-in area, the data area, and the lead-out area are previously allocated. Is a rewritable area where new data is rewritten.

In the PIC area, a high frequency modulated (HFM) groove is formed and recorded as the area where the main general information of the disk to be permanently stored is recorded. The HFM groove is shown in FIG. As described above, the data is modulated and recorded by a Bi-Phase Modulated method to record and store disk information.

On the other hand, in addition to the development of the BD-RE, a new high-density optical disc, for example, a playback-only Blu-ray disc (BD-ROM), which is currently being discussed among related companies, as shown in FIG. ), A clamping area, a transition area, and an information area and a rim area, each of which is divided into the information area and recorded in a data area. Record and play disc information (DI) in the same pit form as main data, such as an A / V stream, for example, 64KB error correction (ECC) structure and a serial pit modulated by 17PP modulation. In performing the operation, a method of detecting and demodulating the modulated recorded disk information in the form of a serial pit by an RF signal method is under consideration.

However, when the disk information recorded in the PIC area is recorded in the same pit form as the main data as described above, the disk information must be detected and demodulated by the RF signal method. As the time required for a long time is generated, a more efficient disk information management method is urgently required.

In addition, when the disc information in the form of HFM groove is recorded in the PIC area of the BD-RE, and the disc information in the serial pit type is recorded in the PIC area of the BD-ROM, in the optical disc device, the BD inserted and seated in the device is used. It is necessary to select and apply the method of reading the disc information of the RE or BD-ROM, for example, with the BD-ROM inserted in the device, of the HFM groove recorded in the PIC area of the BD-RE. When a detection method corresponding to the disc information is selected and applied, a problem arises in that disc information recorded in the serial pit form in the PIC area of the BD-ROM cannot be detected normally.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances and problems, and more efficiently utilizes disk information DI recorded in a PIC area of a high-density optical disc such as a reproduction-only Blu-ray disc (BD-ROM). It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for managing disc information of a high density optical disc in order to enable recording management.

In the PIC area having a disk structure and separately allocated in the information area, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the disk information DI having the same serial pit type as the main data recorded in the data area, Wobbled Pits are provided. The disk information DI in the form is recorded.

For example, the PIC region may be allocated to a recording size of 2720 clusters, and the first cluster of the 2720 clusters records disc information in the form of a bi-Phased wobble pit. In the remaining PIC area, disk information (DI) and copy protection information in the form of a serial pit modulated by a 64 KB error correction (ECC) structure and a 17PP modulation method can be recorded. have.

On the other hand, the wobble pit type disk information is detected by a push-pull signal method, and the serial pit type disk information and copy protection information are RF signals as the main data recorded in the data area. It is detected and demodulated by the (RF Signal) method.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a wobble data sequence having a value of '0101' is equal to a total of 36T sections ('0') in which six 3T pit rows are continuously recorded on the same track line. A total of 36T sections ('1') in which three 3T pit rows are each recorded discontinuously at different positions in the track can be recorded, and the reflected light reflected by the continuous or discontinuously recorded pit rows is The photoelectric conversion is performed by a quadrature light receiving element (not shown) applied to a conventional tracking servo.
