Description

REGISTRATION METHOD '? / OR REPRODUCTION FOR MEANS OF REGISTRATION, REPRODUCTION EQUIPMENT, REGISTRATION MEDIA, METHOD FOR DISTINGUISH REGISTER MEDIA, AND REGISTRATION METHOD AND / OR REPRODUCTION FOR APPARATUS USING REGISTRATION ENVIRONMENT TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a recording and / or reproduction method for a recording medium, a reproduction apparatus, a recording medium, a method of distinguishing registration means, and a recording and / or reproducing method for an apparatus using appropriate region means for a data recording medium in which address information indicating the positions of an entry area etc. is recorded. BACKGROUND OF THE ART In recent years, high-capacity optical discs have been developed. For example CD (Conpacto Disc) for musical information, CD-ROM for data of and DVD (Digital Disk Versátil or Digital Video Disk) for video information are known. These discs are read-only discs. More recently, optical discs such as CD-R disc (CD-Recordable) and CD-RW disc (CD-capable of Rewriting) that allow data to be recorded and written again have been used in commerce. In the disc-shaped recording media described above such as CD, CD-ROM, CD-R disc and CD-RW disc, a data management area which is known as an entry area is formed on one side of the periphery internal of a program area in which data is recorded. In addition, another area known as the output area is formed at an outer periphery of the program area. Time information addresses such as disk position information are assigned to those tasks. For example, on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, a laser beam guide groove (hereinafter referred to as a slot) is vortexed in order to successfully pre-format the address information. The position information or time information as vobulated information is recorded successfully. On CD-R disc / CD-RW disc, with reference to address information obtained by decoding vobulated information, data is written to the disc. On a CD-R / CD-RW disc, the address information is obtained in such a way that the voided information is extracted from a signal that is read from a disc with a signal that is modulated in frequency with a vehicle of 22.05. kHz and then the extracted vobulated information is demodulated. The address information is known as ATIP (Absolute time in Pre-slot). Absolute addresses of a disk are represented by absolute time information.

An absolute address consists of time information of minutes, seconds, and frames (ie, MSF format). In the MSF format, a decimal number of each minute, second and frame is represented by BCD (Binary Coded Decimal 1. One second is equivalent to 75 frames.) Addresses. "0 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 frame at 99 seconds, 59 seconds , and 74 frames can be represented in the BCD, one digit in decimal notation is represented by four bits in binary notation in ATIP 24 bits are required In CD-R or CD-RW disc, control signals other than time information are registered by ATIP in the area ie input.The control signals include the address ie start of the input area (known as the start time of entry) and the maximum start direction of the area ie output (known as time of entry). start time.) The start time of entry and the start time of output are information read by a unit when a CD-R / CD-RW is loaded to a recording and playback device. CD-R / CD-RW disc c With error code (CRC) for each table ie ATIP, an error of information of address of time of beginning of entrance and time of beginning of exit can be detected. However, it is impossible to detect this error perfectly. To improve the reliability of address information, high performance error detection / correction coding can be employed. For this purpose, the amount of redundant code is increased as parity. As a result, redundancy deteriorates.

As in the case of a CD-R disc whose disc format has already been standardized, it is difficult to change an error detection / correction code .. Also, according to the application of use, even if a medium such as a CD disc -R meets the standard, it may be necessary to use a medium with the least possible amount of eccentricity. However, to the extent that a medium complies with the standard, it is not necessary to distinguish said disc. For the following there is no way to distinguish discs.

PREFERRED MODALITIES OF THE INVENTION Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described. The embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to CD-R. Then, with reference to Figure 1, an example of a disk recording and reproducing apparatus (hereinafter simply referred to as a unit) will be described. In Figure 1, the reference number 1 indicates an optical disk that can be registered, for example, a CD-R disc. The optical disk 1 is rotationally driven at constant linear speed or constant angular velocity by an axis 2 motor. An optical reader 3 is positioned to record dat < s in the optical disk 1 and read data from the optical disk 1. The optical reader 3 is displaced in the direction of the radius of the disk 1 by a feed motor 4. As shown in figure 2, the optical disk 1 of conformity with the modality has a central hole and a clamping area. The central hole is formed in the center of the optical disc 1. The clamping area. 'ion is formed around the central axis. In the direction from the internal periphery to the outer periphery of the disk, PCA area (Power Calibration Area), PMA area (Program Memory Area), Ll entry area, PA program area and LO output area. form The PCA area is an area for adjusting the laser power radiated from the optical reader to the optical disk 1. The PMA area is an area for temporarily storing address information necessary for a rewrite operation (i.e., to allow new data to be described after the final position of the previous record) the diameter of the optical disk 1 is 120 mm, that is, it is the same as the CD diameter. However, as in the case CD single which is a CD having a diameter of 8 cm, the diameter of the optical disc 1 can be 80 mm. Figure 3 shows the structure of the optical disk 1. Figure 3 shows a. CD-R disk as an example of an optical disk 1. Whereas the side on which the laser light is irradiated from the optical reader 3 is the lad; > lower, a protective film 21, a reflection film 22, a recording layer 23, and a substrate 24 are formed successively towards the lower side. The reflection film 22 consists of a metallic metal such as Au or Ag. The recording layer 23 consists of an organic coloring matter. The substrate 24 consists of synthetic resin having light permeability. Ur example of the substrate 24 is polycarbonate having a pre-groove. Examples of the organic coloring matter used for the recording layer 23 are cyanine dye and phthalocyanine dye. As described in the "Related Art" section, the pre-slot 25 is wobbled in the direction of the radius of the disk 1 to record address information (position information). When the light energy of the laser light radiated from the optical reader 1 is focused in the pre-slot 25 (in other words, when the laser light is focused by a target lens of the optical reader 3), a deformed portion is formed (holes) at the interface between a part of a heated and dissolved organic coloring matter of the recording layer 23 and the substrate 24 which is softened by the heat of the irradiated laser light. As a result data is recorded in the pre-slot 25 of the optical disk 1. When laser light is irradiated which is lower than the laser light in the recording mode, from the optical reader 3 to the optical disk 1 and the difference between the amount of light irradiated by the optical reader 3 and the amount of light reflected by the optical disc 1 is detected by the optical reader 3, data can be reproduced. The optical disc 1 can be reproduced by a CD player and a CD-ROM playback apparatus as well as by a CD-R recording and reproducing apparatus. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the pre-groove 25 is formed spirally and successively from the PCA area towards the LO exit area (in the entire disc surface from the inner periphery to the outer periphery). ). The pre-slot 25 is rotated to control the rotation of the disc and as a registration reference signal. As described above, data is recorded in the pre-slot 25 or between the pre-slot 25 and a landing zone. As vobulated information of the pre-slot 25, address information is successively recorded. With reference to the address information obtained from the voice data, the optical reader 3 is moved to a desired writing position of the optical disk 1. Data is written to the desired position of the optical disk 1. Returning to FIG. provide data from a host computer 10 as an external device for the unit through an interface 9 (e.g., SCSI) (Small Interface of Computer System)). A decoder / encoder 5 is connected to the interface 9. A buffer 6 is connected to the encoder / decoder 5. The buffer 6 stores write data or read data. The write data is supplied to the encoder / decoder 5 through the interface 9. In the recording mode, the encoder / decoder 5 generates data in the CD-ROM format. Then, data in the CD format is modulated by EFM and encoded by an error correction code coding process. In the reproduction mode, the encoder / decoder 5 performs a decoding process for an RF signal supplied from an RF signal processing portion 11.

(This will be described later). Digital data as a result of the coding process are sent to the host computer 10 through the interface 9. In addition to ATIP, the encoder / decoder 5 adds address data as a subcode to the registration data. In addition, the encoder / decoder 5 adds address data to data header generated in the CD-ROM format. Such address data indicates addresses such as ATIP. Registration data are supplied from the encoder / decoder 5 to a laser controller 8 through a register compensator (register equalizer) 7. The register compensator 7 performs a non-linear process to record data in such a way that pits registered become equal to those of CD. The compensation amount of the registration compensator 7 is adjusted according to the characteristics of the recording layer of the optical disc 1. The shape of the recording laser beam, etc. Information that represents the optimal power optical disc 1 is registered in ATIP. Furthermore, in order to obtain the actual optimum writing power of the optical disk "'i.e., the output level of laser light radiated from the optical reader 3), using the PCA area, a test writing operation is performed. Result of the test writing operation, the optimal writing power can be achieved.After setting the optimal power data are described in the optical disk 1. The controller of laser 8 drives a semiconductor laser device as a light source of the optical reader 3 which corresponds to an output signal of the register compensator 7 in order to generate a pulse signal having a predetermined level necessary to record registration data in the optical disk 1. The pulse signal is supplied from the laser controller 8 to the semiconductor laser device of the optical reader 3. The laser light corresponding to the registration data is irradiated from the semiconductor laser device. A) Yes, the data is recorded on the optical disk 1. As described above APC (Automatic Power Control) of the RF signal processing portion controls the laser controller 8 in such a way that the output level of the laser light which is sent from the semiconductor laser device becomes an optimal value. An output signal whose reflected light from the optical disc 1 is detected by the optical reader 3 is supplied to the RF signal processing portion 11. A ciphered signal obtained as a generated counter-phase signal corresponding to the output signal of the RF signal. optical reader 3 is supplied from the RF signal processing portion 11 to an address extraction portion 12. The RF signal processing portion 11 has a matrix amplifier. The array amplifier calculates a detected signal from a detector photo of the optical reader 13. As a result, in addition to the push-pull signal described above, the RF signal processing portion 11 generates tracking error signal TE and error signal of FO approach. The tracking error signal TE and the focusing error signal FE are supplied to a servo-control portion 14. The address extraction portion 12 supplies a flux signal as a push-pull signal supplied from the processing portion. RF signal 11 to an FM demodulator through a low-pass filter that passes only one frequency band close to a carrier frequency (at 22.05 kHz) in order to obtain a two-phase signal. In addition, the address extraction portion 12 uses a clock obtained from the two-phase signal to control to control the axis motor 2. In addition, the extraction and direction portion 12 extracts address and control signal data from the Two-phase signal with the clock. The address data and control signal extracted by the address extraction portion 12 are supplied to a control portion 13 consisting of a microcomputer. The control portion 13 controls the search portion using address data supplied from the address extraction portion 12. In addition, the control portion 13 controls the laser power of the irradiated laser light from the optical reader 3 using the control signal supplied. The control portion 13 controls all the portions of the unit, for example the interface 9, the encoder / decoder 5, the RF signal processing portion 11, and the servo-control portion 14. An output signal of the address extraction portion 12 is supplied to the control portion 13. In addition, an output signal from the direction removal portion 12 is supplied to an error review circuit 15. As will be described later, the revision circuit of errors 15 detects the presence / absence of an error using input start time data and / or start time data of the control signal and sends the detected result of the error to the control portion 13. In accordance with the mode, since the optical disc 1 is a CD-R disc, various recording methods, such as a disc at a time, a track at a time, a pack at a time, and multisession can be employed. In the method of a one-time disk, once the data recording operation for the optical disk 1 has started, the registration operation can not be stopped until its completion. In the method, data are recorded in the order of the input area Li, program area PA, and output area LO of the optical disk 1. In the method of one track at a time, to begin with, data are recorded in the area of program. Afterwards, data is recorded in the output area. Finally, data is recorded in the entry area. In the method of one track at a time, such as the voice information recorded in the pre-slot 25, each track number, start time data, and end time data read from ATIP are recorded. After the recording of all the data in the tracks, the output area is registered. In addition, a TOC information is created corresponding to the information read from the PMA area. The TOC information is recorded in the entry area. In the method of one package at a time, a small amount of data is repeatedly rewritten. In the method of multiple sessions, data is recorded in such a way that several sessions are formed in the radial direction of optical disk 1. The data is recorded in such a way that each session has an input area and an output area. In addition, when the optical disc 1 is reproduced, the processing portion 'f -; or RF signal sends an RF signal. The RF signal is supplied to the encoder / decoder 5. The encoder / decoder 5 performs an EFM demodulation process and a coding process in CD format as an error correction code decoding process. Then, the encoder / decoder 5 performs a decoding process in CD-ROM format. The reproduced data that is sent from the encoder / decoder 5 is stored in the buffer 6. When the encoder / decoder receives a read command from the host computer 10, the encoder / decoder 5 transfers the reproduced data stored in the encoder / decoder 5. the buffer 6 to the host computer 10 through the interface 9. A synchronous frame signal, tracking error signal TE, and focus error signal FE that are sent from the RF signal processing portion 11 and clock that is sent from the direction removal portion 12 are supplied to the servo-control portion 14. The servo-control portion 14 performs a servo tracking and a servo approach for the optical reader 3, a servo shaft for the motor of axis 2, and a servo step for the motor of feeding 4. According to the described thing above, in the optical disc 1, the pre-groove 25 is vobuleada by modulation of FM (FSK) with a vehicle of 22.05 kHz ± 1 kHz. When the FM-modulated vob of the pre-slot 25 is demodulated from the generated back-phase signal corresponding to the output signal of the optical reader 3, a biphasic signal with a clock of 6.3 kHz is obtained. When the obtained biphasic signal is demodulated, data of 3150 bits / sec can be obtained. As described above, since 1 second is equivalent to 75 frames, an ATIP data frame as address data consists of 42 bits.

Figure 6 shows the data structure of an ATIP data frame as address data of optical disk 1. The first four bits are a synchronous signal. The next 24 bits are a portion of address description the last 14 bits are CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Code). The synchronous signal has a special pattern that is not observed in a biphasic mark. The decimal numbers of minutes, seconds, and address data boxes (time information) are indicated by 8 bits each in BCD. Thus, ii -ections of up to 99 minutes, 59 seconds, 74 frames can be indicated. Considering that the amount of data in a table is 2 kbytes, the address data is equivalent to approximately 900 Mbytes. In the format of optical disc 1 (CD-R), in a combination of 4 high-order bits of each of M by "minutes" S by "seconds" and F by "frames" in fact, these bits are not used (that is, all zeros), and another which addresses are represented (the information is known as additional information). In relation to the most significant bit of M by "minutes", when M is "99 minutes", the most significant bit becomes "1". However, in fact, up to now, the commercially available disc record durations are up to 80 minutes, thus, the most significant bit of M per "minute" does not become "1". Additional information other than addresses is registered in the Ll entry area. In the PA program area and in the LO output area, only address data is recorded. Figure 7 shows the information content in combination with 3 bits Ml, SI and Fl which are the most significant bits of M per minute, S per seconds, and F per frames. In other words, (Ml, SI, Fl = 000) represents the addresses of the PA program area and LO output area. The most significant bits Ml, SI and Fl and the addresses (M, S, F) of the PA program area and the SALic area are combined. (Ml, SI, Fl = 100) represents the directions of the PCA area, the addresses of the PMA area, and the entry area. (Ml, SI, Fl = 101) represents special information 1 (recording power in reference speed, application code and disk type ID) (Ml, SI, Fl = 110) represents special information 2 (start time of input (Ml, YES, Fl = 111) represents special information 3 (start time of departure) Also, as shown in figure 7, even when additional information 1, additional information 2, and additional information 3 have been reserved , have not been defined yet, special information is represented by Ml = "1", while additional information 1 to 3 is represented by additional information other than addresses.In optical disc 1 (CD-R), the sequence of successive frames of the entrance area Ll is defined in accordance with that shown in figure 8. As is clear from figure 8, a sequence of 30 frames is defined, as table numbers N, N + 10, N + 20 , ... (at intervals of 10 frames), information is placed special 1, special information 2, and special information 3. In other table numbers, regular addresses are placed. The following will actually describe addresses represented by information of minutes, seconds and boxes. The information of each of the PA program area and LO output area starts in 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 frames and increases. In the Ll entry area, the time information that exceeds 90 minutes is recorded. After 99 minutes, 59 seconds, 74 frames, the time information becomes 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 table where the PA program area starts. The CD-R disc standard as an example of optical disc 1 is defined in the "Orange Book" which is the standard document. In the range that complies with the Orange Book standard, the starting position of the input area has a margin to some extent. Figure 9 shows the margin of the starting position of the entry area Ll. In the format in which the disc playback duration or the record duration of optical disc 1 is 64 minutes (linear speed = 1.4 m / sec constant), as described above, the minimum length of the entry area Ll is (02, 07, 48) and the maximum length of the entry area Ll is (02, 14, 06) in notation (M, S, F) thus, the start time of entry can be selected from a value that complies with the standard of the Orange Book described above - that is, within a range of (97, 45, 69) to (97, 52, 27). In the same way in the format in which the disk playback duration or record duration of optical disk 1 is 74 minutes (linear speed = 1.2 m / sec constant), the minimum length of the input area Ll is (02, 28, 68) and the maximum length of the entry area Ll is (02, 36, 32) in notation (M, S, F). Thus, the entry start time can be selected from a value that complies with the Orange Book standard described above - that is, within a range of (97, 23, 43) to (97, 31, 07). De conformi;: with the modality of the present invention, using the input start time margin, it is encoded in such a way that an error in it can be detected by itself. The error review circuit 15 (see figure 1) detects whether or not there is an entry start time error. For example, error detection coding can be used using CRCC (Cyclic Redundancy Review Code) in this case, considering that with the generator polynomial g (x) = x "+ x + 1 and the time information start time of entry T (x) = [M, S, F] (24 bits, polynomial of twenty-third order of x), the four low-order bits of table F are • selected in such a way that T (x) is divided exactly between g (x) (remainder = "0"). When the detectable error coding described above is performed, the error review circuit 15 divides the entry start time by the generator polynomial g (x-) and determines whether the remainder is 0 with the object of detecting a time error start of e?: '". raaa In the example of g (x) values whose remainder is 0 are 0 to F (in hexadecimal notation.) However, the BCD notation does not represent AF values. The four low-order bits in Table F are restricted To solve the problem, a rule is previously adopted whereby when the value becomes one from A to F, "6" is added to the value. you can convert values A to F in hexadecimal notation in values 0 to 5. As another method, besides the generator polynomial described above with the generator polynomial g (x) = xJ + x + 1, the three bits of the low order from box F are selected in such a way that the rest of the division of the input start time by g (x) becomes 0. Thus, values A to F can be selected in hexadecimal notation from 0 to 7. As a second example of the detectable error coding by the error review circuit 15, the digits (8 bits of the F table are selected in such a way that when each digit of M, S and F of the entry start time is added with (module 75), the aggregate result becomes "0". (Module 75) is used since the digits of the boxes are indicated within a range of values from 00 to 74. Actually, we are going to consider now that the entry start time is 97 minutes, 24 seconds, Q frames , where Q is a symbol that represents an indeterminate value. In the example, c the following formula is met. 97 '+ 24 + Q = 0 (module 75) ... (1) The value that complies with formula (1) is (Q = 29). Thus, the digits of the frames become (29 frames). The revision circuit 15 performs an addition of the formula described above with (module 75) and determines whether or not the delivered result is "0" to check if or nc and you er error. the start time of entry. As a third example of the encoding detectable in the error by the error review circuit 15, the four low order bits of frame F are selected such that when each digit of M, S and F of the start time of entry is added with (module 10), the aggregate result becomes 0. Actually considering that the start time of entry is 97 minutes, 24 seconds, 10 frames, the value of the four low order bits is decided using the following formula. 9 + 7 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 0 = 0 (module 10) (2) The value that complies with formula (2) is (Q = 7). Thus, the digits of the tables become (17 frames). The error review circuit 15 effects the addition of the previous formula with (module 10) and determines whether or not the aggregate result is 0 to check whether or not there is an error in the entry start time. Since it is used (module 10) as the value of the low order bits of the digits of the tables, one can be selected from 0 to 9. This harmonizes well with the code assignments to distinguish record manufacturers. of OSJ (Study of the Orange Book of Japan) for CD-R discs. Figure 10 shows an example of input start time code assignments for manufacturers (A, B, C, D, E, F, ...., G, H, ..., I) in accordance with OSJ. The "first code" of figure 10 is applied to a format in which the duration of disc playback is 74 minutes, while the "second code" is applied to a format in which the disc playing time is 64 minutes The result distinguished by manufacturer is used to control the output level of a laser beam in the recording mode of a CD-R disc as optical disk 1. In FIG. 10, as the first code, (97 minutes, 24 seconds, 10 seconds). frames at 97 minutes, 24 seconds, 19 frames) are assigned to the manufacturer E. In the same way, a value within a range of (0 to 9) as the 4 bits of low order of the frames is assigned to each manufacturer. Thus, in the purification of error detection by addition with (module 10), one of the values (0 to 9) is selected. Accordingly, the error detection coding is well harmonized with the code assignments shown in Figure 10. Furthermore, in the OSJ code assignments (00 to 04) cyanine is assigned as the organic coloring material used in the registration layer 23 , while (05 to 09) phthalocyanine as the organic coloring material used in the registration layer 23. To comply with the OSJ code assignments, instead of an addition expression with (modulo 75) or an addition expression with ( module 10), an addition expression with (module 5). As a fourth example of the detectable error coding by the error review circuit 15, an error detection coding is performed for the output start time recorded in the input area Ll as special information 3. When the start time output is 17 minutes, 50 seconds, Q frames, as in the case of the second example, the Q value of the frames is selected in such a way that the added result of the following formula with (module 75) becomes "0". 17 + 50 + Q = 0 (module 75) ... (3) The value of the frames complying with formula (3) is (Q = 08). Thus, a time information of 17 minutes, 50 seconds, 08 frames is recorded as start time of departure. Obviously, the starting time of output is a value that can not exceed a value defined in the physical standard of CD-R or similar. The PA program error depends on the value of the start time of the output. As a result, the capacity of regí? Ti can decrease slightly according to the value of the start time of departure. However, since the start time of departure is not affected by the OSJ manufacturer code and category code of the 'colorant matter used for the registration layer 23, it can be said that the flexibility of the start time of output is high. As an example of the detectable coding of errors by the error review circuit 15, both the start time of entry and the start time of output are used, when the start time of entry is 97 minutes. , 24 seconds, 10 frames and the start time of output is 17 minutes, 50 seconds, Q frames, the Q value of the frames is selected in such a way that the added result of the following formula with (module 75) becomes " 0". 97 + 24 + 10 + 17 + 50 + Q = 0 (module 75) ... (4) The value of the frames of the start time of output that meets the formula (4) is (Q = 27). To detect an error, it is determined whether or not the aggregate result of both the input start time and the start time of output that are read from the optical disk with (module 75) is "0". Next, a sixth example of the error detection coding will be described by the error review circuit 15. In the sixth example, in addition to the start time of input and / or the starting time of output, a constant K is used. which has the unit side (recorder or player). Assuming that the entry start time is 97 minutes, 24 seconds, 10 frames, the end time of output is 20 minutes, 15 seconds, 34 frames, and K = 25, the added result of the following expression becomes 225. 97 + 24 + 10 + 20 + y '34 + 25 = 225 In other words, the digit value of the start time frames is selected. If the result does not become 225 only with the digit value of the frames, the digit values of the seconds is used. When the exit start time is read, the aggregate result is determined to be 225 or less in order to determine if there is an error in the start time of the exit. The value "255" as the aggregate result is equal to 0 in a addition with (module 75). As in the case of the example described above, the addition with (module 75) can be used. (Module 75) indicates that the aggregate result can be divided exactly. Thus, it is different from the case in which the aggregate result is "225". Alternatively, two or more types of error detection coding may be employed for address information such as for example input start time instead of an error detection encoding type. For example, with an addition expression with (module 10) and an addition expression with (module 75), two types of address information can be generated whose aggregated result becomes "0". As a constant K that has the unit side, with two types of constants Kl and K2, two types of address information can be generated. In addition, in the examples described above, all digits or bits of infe < • Address address such as the start time of entry are employed. However, the error detection purification may be effected by omitting a part of an address information (i.e. the value of a lower digit of the time information boxes). In fact, in an example that uses the input start time and the start time of output, considering that the value of a lower digit of the frames of the input start time is always "0", the detection coding of mistakes. Next, a seventh example of the error detection coding will be described by the error review circuit 15. In the seventh example, each digit of M, S and F of the input start time is handled independently. Each digit is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient. In other words, the entry start time is represented by two digits in the BCD notation. The minutes (M) of the start time of entry are represented by nrs (MI .., M2 of two digits.) The minutes (S) of the start time of entry are represented by nrs (S, S2 of two digits. (F) of the start time of entry are represented by nrs (Fl., F2, two digits) As expressed through the following formula, each digit of M, S, and F of the entry start time is handled independently, each digit is multiplied by u .. coefficient and is then added between them, F2 is decided in such a way that the calculated result with module z becomes "0." ax Mlx + bx M2X + cx SI, + dx S2, + ex Fl, + fx F2, = 0 (module z) ... (6) In this case, coefficients "a" to "f" may be the same or different between them., some of the coefficients "a" to "f" may be the same. It can be considered that the second example and the third example are special examples of expressions by the formulas (1) and (2) described above. In other words, it can be considered that the second example is an example of the type in which in the formula (6), the coefficient "a" is "10", the coefficient "b" is "1", the coefficient "c" "is" 10", the coefficient" d "is" 1", the coefficient" e "is" 10", the coefficient" f "is" 1", and the coefficient" z "is" 75". In the same way, it can be considered that the third example is an example of the type in which all the coefficients "a" to "f" -3o ?. "1" and the coefficient "z" is "10". An eighth example of the error detection coding by the error review circuit 15 is an example of the type in which each digit of M, S and F of the start time of output is handled independently and each digit is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient. In other words, the start time of output represented by two digits in BCD notation. The minutes of the start time of departure are represented by numbers (Ml :, M20) of two digits. The seconds of the start time of departure are represented by numbers (Sl3, S2) of two digits. The start time of departure pictures are represented by two digit numbers (Flc, F2C). As expressed through the following formula, each digit of M, S and F of the start time of departure is independently handled. Each digit is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient F20 is decided in such a way that the aggregate result with module z becomes "0". g x Mlc + h x M2 c + i x Sl - + j x S2C + k x Fio + 1 x F20 = 0 (module z) (7) Both the input start time and the start start time can be used. In this case, the minutes of the entry start time are represented by numbers (Ml?; M2 of two digits, the seconds of the entry start time are represented by numbers (Sl_., S2X) of two digits. The input start time frames are represented by Flx, F2, two-digit numbers. The minutes of the start time of departure are represented by numbers (Ml0, M20) of two digits, the seconds of the start time of departure are represented by numbers (Slc, S2C) of the digits. The start time of departure pictures are represented by numbers (Fl-., F2;) of two digits. Come is expressed through the following formula, each digit of M, S, and F of the start time of entry and each digit of M, S and F or the start time of departure is handled independently. Each digit is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient, and then added among them. F2X and F2 are decided in such a way that the result added with module z becomes "0". a x Ml i + b x M2 x + c x Slx + d x S2? + ex Flx + fx F2L + gx Ml + hx M2 - + ix Slc + jx S2C + kx F1D + 1 x F20 = O (module z) .... (8) In accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, the The detected result of the error review circuit 15 is supplied to the control portion 13. The control portion 13 controls the registration operation or the reproduction operation of the unit corresponding to the detected result of the error review circuit 15. The control portion 13 can control such operations in various ways. In the recording mode, the optical reader 3 reads the input area Ll of the loaded optical disc 1. In addition to the regular operation of the CD-R unit, the error review circuit 15 checks an error using address information or using both address information and constant K. When the determined result of the error review circuit 15 indicates that the address information has an error, the control portion 13 prohibits the recording of data in the program area Pa of the disk optical 1. In contrast, when the determined result of the error review circuit 15 indicates that the address information has no error, the control portion 13 allows the recording of data in the PA program area of the optical disk 1. When the control portion 13 prevents data recording in the PA program area of the optical disc 1, the control portion 13 causes a display 16 of the unit to present an Inca message that data can not be registered due to the detection of an error. In other words, only when the information and address has no error, data can be recorded on the optical disc 1. In the same way, in the playback mode, an error of the loaded disc 1 is checked in the same way as the mode register. When the determined result of the error review circuit '5 indicates that an address information read from the input area Ll of the loaded optical disk presents an error, the error review circuit 15 prohibits the reproduction of the data recorded in the optical disk 1. In contrast, when the determined result of the error review circuit 15 indicates that the address information does not present any error, the portion of cont? 13 controls the optical reader 3 to allow the reproduction of the data recorded in optical disk 1. In other words, only when the address information that is read from optical disk 1 does not present an error, the data recorded in the PA program area of optical disk 1 can be reproduced. optical disk 1 due to an error that has been detected from the address information that has been read from the optical disk 1, an error message is visually displayed on the display device 16 of the unit. As described above, when an error has been detected in terms of address information, in addition to the process of prohibiting registration / reproduction of the loaded optical disk 1, the loaded optical disk 1 can be forcefully discharged from the unit. At this point, an error message may be displayed on the display device 16. As the optical disc 1, a recordable optical disc (e.g. a CD-R disc) may be recorded and reproduced by different recording devices and / or reproduction. Despite knowing that commercially available cheap CD-R discs tend to present problems, some users may wish to use such discs. From this perspective, a recording and playback recording apparatus that can record data on a CD-R disc and play data from a CD-R disc can have different operations than an error in the registration mode and in the recording mode. playback mode. As an example of the operations in the recording mode and in the playback mode when an er error is detected. the entry start time or the like (eg, entry start time address information, exit start time address information, entry start time address information, and start time address information) output, or address information address information indicating the position of a particular data registered in the PA area), even when data can not be recorded on the loaded optical disc, data reproduction from the optical disc is allowed loaded. In other words, there is a situation in which even when an error has been detected in the address information that has been read, data has been recorded on the optical disk loaded by another device. When an error is detected in the manner described above, if the reproduction of data from d- is prohibited. eo optical loaded, even when the data has been recorded on the disc, the data can not be reproduced at all. In order to solve said problem, when an error is detected in the address information such as, for example, the entry start time, the recording of data in the loaded optical disk is prohibited. However, data reproduction is allowed from the loaded optical disk. These registration and reproduction operations are controlled by the control portion that controls the operations of the recording and reproduction apparatus. In the following examples, the operations of the recording and reproducing apparatus are controlled by a control portion of the apparatus. As another example of the operations in the recording and reproduction modes, when an error is detected in the address information such as, for example, the start time of entry of a loaded optical disk, the recording of data in the loaded optical disk is prevented. Furthermore, when data is reproduced from the loaded optical disc, an error message is displayed on the device's display so that the user is aware of a high possibility of an error occurring. However, data reproduction is allowed from the loaded optical disk. For example, when data is recorded on the loaded optical disk, if an error is detected in the address information such as entry start time, an error message "this disk presents a risk of occurrence of an error" may be displayed on the device's display device. An alarm sound can be generated. A lamp or similar can light. In this way, the user has information about the occurrence of an error. In addition, the recording of data on the loaded optical disk is prevented. When an error message is displayed on the display device or the like in this way, the user can know why data can not be recorded on the optical disc. As another example of the operations in the recording and playback modes, if an error is detected in the information and address such as, for example, the start time of entry of a loaded optical disc, when data is recorded in the loaded optical disc and reproduced at from the loaded optical disk, the user receives error information. However, the reproduction of the data on the loaded optical disk, and the reproduction of the data from the loaded optical disk, are allowed, for example, despite knowing that commercially available cheap optical discs tend to exhibit errors in the mode of registration and in the playback mode, some users may wish to use such discs, in the case of such users, when an error is detected in the address information of the loaded optical disc, an error message "is not a recommended disc " It can be visualized in the display portion of the apparatus such as, for example, display device. Alternatively, an alarm sound can be generated. Alternatively, a lamp or the like can be turned on. Thus, before performing the registration operation or playback operation after loading the optical disc, users receive an alarm. However, the registration and reproduction of data is allowed. Thus, such users can use cheap discs available in the trade even if they present a risk of an error occurring. As another example of the operations in the registration and reproduction modes, when an error is detected in the address information such as for example entry start time, said information is read from a loaded optical disk, in the registration mode , the user receives an alarm in this way. However, data registration is allowed on the loaded optical disk. In addition, data reproduction is allowed from the loaded optical disk. In this case, knowing that economically available inexpensive discs tend to present an error problem in the registration mode or reproduction mode, users can use them. In this example. When data is reproduced from the loaded disk, since an error message is not displayed in the display portion such as the device display device, users can be avoided unnecessarily confused. In addition to detecting an information and address error such as for example input start time that is read from optical disk 1, the loaded optical disk 1 can be distinguished. In other words, even if the address information can be read correctly from the loaded optical disk 1, when the detected error result corresponds to the error detection code of the information and address that is read from the loaded optical disk 1 does not meet a non-error condition, it is determined that the address information that is read from the loaded optical disk 1 exhibits an error. In other words, it is determined that an optical disk whose information and address has an error is not a desired disk. As a result, in a corresponding manner to the address information that is read, the loaded disc can be distinguished. In other words, in the case of an optical disk 1 suitable for the recording and reproducing apparatus, address information, for example, the input start time is pre-registered in the optical disk 1 such that a calculated value corresponding to 1 of the formulas (1) to (8) becomes a predetermined value. After loading an optical disc into the recording and reproducing apparatus, the information and address is read as the entry time from the optical disc loaded with the optical reader 3, the information and direction that has been calculated is calculated. read, and determine whether or not the loaded optical disk is a suitable disk for the device that corresponds to the calculated result (ie, according to whether or not the information and address has an error). When the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk is an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, data registration is allowed in the PA program area of the loaded optical disk 1. In contrast, when the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk It is not an optical disk suitable for the device, the recording of data in the loaded optical disc is prevented. At this point, when the loaded optical disc is not an optical disc suitable for the device, an alarm message may be displayed, such as "it is not a recommended disc, use it carefully". In the display portion, for example in the display device 16 of the unit. Alternatively. An alarm sound can be generated. Alternatively, a lamp or the like can be turned on. As a result, the user is alerted. In the same way when an optical disk is loaded in the apparatus, the address information such as for example input start time is read from the loaded optical disk. The address information that has been read from the loaded optical disk was calculated correspondingly to one of the formulas (1) to (8) described above in order to determine whether or not the loaded optical disk is a suitable disk. for the device. When the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk is an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, the reproduction of data from the loaded optical disk is allowed. In contrast, when the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk is not an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, the reproduction of data from the loaded optical disk is prevented. At this point, when the determined result indicates that the optic disc loaded is not an optical disc suitable for the device, an alarm message can be displayed, such as "it is not a recommended disc, use it carefully." In the display portion, for example the display device 16 of the unit. Alternatively, an alarm sound can be generated. Alternatively, a lamp or the like can be switched on. As a result, the user is alerted. As the optical disc 1, a recordable optical disc (eg CD-R disc) can be registered and reproduced by different recording and reproducing apparatuses. Despite knowing that cheap discs available may be unsuitable for the device, certain users may wish to use them. From this perspective, when the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disc is not a suitable disc for the recording and reproducing apparatus that records data on a CD-R disc and reproduces data from a CD-R disc, the apparatus can perform several operations in the recording mode and in the playback mode. As an example of the operations in the recording mode and "in the playback mode in the case in which the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk is not a suitable disk for the device." When the determined result corresponds to the time of entry initiation or the like (eg, entry start time address information, exit start time address information, entry start time address and exit start time information, or information address information address that indicates the position of particular data recorded in the program area) indicates that the loaded optical disk is not an optical disk suitable for the device, data registration is prevented in the loaded optical disk program area. , the reproduction of data from the loaded optical disk is allowed, in other words, even if the loaded optical disk is not an optical disk suitable for the device, data may have been recorded there by another device. Accordingly, if data recording on the optical disk which is not suitable for a desired apparatus is prevented, the data must be produced by an original device. Thus, the operation deteriorates. Thus, when the determined result corresponding to address information such as for example entry start time indicates that the loaded optical disk is not an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, the recording of new data on the loaded optical disk is prohibited. Unlike, data reproduction is allowed from the loaded optical seo. In another example in the case in which the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk is not an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, when the determined result corresponding to address information such as for example incoming start time read from the The loaded optical disc indicates that the loaded optical disc is not an optical disc suitable for the device, the data recording on the loaded optical disc is prevented. In addition, when data is reproduced from the loaded optical disc, an error message is displayed in the display portion or similar of the apparatus. The user is alerted to a message indicating that the loaded optical disk will probably not be used. However, data reproduction is allowed, for example, in the recording mode, when the determined result corresponding to address information of the input start time or the like which is read from the loaded optical disc indicates that the disc loaded optical is not the right disk for the device, an alarm message such as "is not a recommended disk. Use it carefully." It can be visualized in the display portion or similar of the apparatus. Alternatively, an alarm can be generated. Alternatively, a lamp or the like can be switched on. As a result, the user is alerted. In addition, the recording of data in the register of the loaded optical disk is prevented. When an error message of this type is displayed, the user can know the reason why data can not be registered on the loaded disk. As another example in the case in which the determined result indicates that the loaded optical disk is not an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, when the determined result corresponding to the address information, entry start time or the like indicates that the The loaded optical disc is not an optical disc suitable for the device, both in the recording mode and in the reproduction mode the user is alerted of this fact. However, the recording of data on the loaded optical disc and its reproduction is allowed. For example, despite knowing that commercially available cheap discs tend to have an error problem in the registration mode and in the playback mode, some users may wish to use them. In this case, when an optical disk that is not suitable for the device is loaded there, it corresponds. nd to the address information that is read from the loaded optical disc, an alarm message can be displayed, such as "it is not a recommended disc, use it carefully." In the display portion or similar of the apparatus. Alternatively, an alarm sound can be generated. Alternatively, a lamp or the like can be turned on. As a result, the user is informed. However, the recording of data on the loaded optical disk and its reproduction is allowed. Thus, these users can use cheap discs with knowledge of said risk. As another example, in the case in which the determined result indicates that the optical unit loaded is not an optical disk suitable for the apparatus, when the determined result corresponds to the address information such as for example entry start time or similar which is read from the loaded optical disc indicates that the loaded optical disc is not a suitable disc for the apparatus, in the registration mode, the user is informed in the manner described above. However, data registration is allowed on the loaded optical disk. In addition, data reproduction is allowed from the loaded optical disk. In this case, knowing that commercially available cheap discs have an error problem, some users can use them. When data is reproduced from the loaded optical disk, since no error message is displayed, unnecessary confusion of the user is prevented. further, depending on the type of optical disc loaded in the apparatus, electrical characteristics such as servo characteristics, mechanical characteristics or optical characteristics can be varied and optimized. In accordance with what has been described above, the detection of an address information error according to the present invention can be used to distinguish one of several types of disks. When the distinguished result of the disk corresponds to an error detected from the address information, if the disk presents a problem, the electrical characteristics of the servo-mechanism, mechanical characteristics or optical characteristics of the device can be varied in order to handle the optical disk loaded.

In general, in addition to basic specifications, the standard described for the CD-R disc etc., defines some tolerances for several reference values such as amount of eccentricity and track pitch in order to absorb manufacturing errors etc. Of the discs. On the other hand, a particular application for a CD-R disc requires more stringent specifications than the tolerances in terms of amount of eccentricity and track pitch. For example, a portable audio recording and reproducing apparatus and a portable video recording, recording and reproducing apparatus should consider the influence of vibrations, etc., thus, in this case, an optical disk recordable as recording medium. (ie, a CD-R disc) may require specifications closer to the reference values. The address information error detection according to the present invention can be applied to distinguish an optical disk that meets the requirements of a portable audio recording and reproducing apparatus and a portable video recording, recording and reproducing apparatus of others. According to various applications such as a portable audio recording and reproducing apparatus, a portable video photography apparatus, and a personal computer unit, various types of CD-R discs as recordable optical discs differing in reference values of Eccentricity amount and track pitch and materials can be provided. In such a case, when a portable video photography apparatus employs an optical disc (CD-R disc) that is not suitable for the apparatus, a problem will occur. However, a portable audio recording and reproducing apparatus can employ both an optical disk suitable for the apparatus and an optical disk suitable for a portable photo and video device without problem. In addition, a conventional computer unit can employ all suitable optical discs for a portable audio recording and reproducing apparatus, an optical disc suitable for a portable video recording device, and an optical disc suitable for a conventional computer unit without problem. . Thus, combinations of apparatuses and disc types suitable for said apparatuses become complicated. However, the optical disc distinction method according to the present invention allows an optical disc that is not suitable for the apparatus to be distinguished from many types of discs. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Such other changes, omissions and additions in form and details of the warning may be carried out without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, instead of addresses of entry area start positions and exit area, addresses of address information end positions that define their length (widths) may be used. In addition, as well as addresses defining entry and exit positions, addresses defining particular data positions registered in the program area can be used. For example, in the CD or CD-ROM entry area as TOC (Table of Contents) times, in which initial movements begin they are recorded. As described above, an error detection coding for an absolute time at which the first movement begins (ie, the position two or three seconds after the start position of the program area). As well as the CD-R disc described above, the present invention can be applied to the CD-RW disc in which almost the same information as CD-R is registered corresponding to ATIP. In addition, as well as recordable discs, the present invention can be applied to read-only discs such as CDs and CD-Rs. < Furthermore, in the case of CD-R and CD-RW discs, the present invention can be applied to registered address data without pre-registered address information such as ATIP. further, the present invention can be applied to address information in binary notation instead of time information in BCD notation (minutes, seconds, frames) for example, the first example of error detection coding using CRCC can be applied in addresses of binary notation. The binary notation can represent more addresses than the BCD notation with the same number of bits. Furthermore, in accordance with the present invention, the address information is coded in such a way that an address information error such as for example entry start time or the like can be detected by itself. Thus, the reliability of the information and direction can be improved. For example, when the resistance to errors against incoming start time improves, the data can be recorded and stably reproduced, furthermore, in accordance with the present invention, no new parity is required. Thus, the present invention can be applied to recording means that have been standardized for signal format, etc. Further, in accordance with the present invention, since the detected error result is used to distinguish means, the recording / reproducing apparatus may use only a suitable means. In this case, made several types of error detection coding, you can distinguish several types of media. In accordance with the present invention, an address information such as for example entry start time is recorded in such a way that a disk can be distinguished. Thus, after determining whether or not a disk is a suitable disk, data can be recorded / reproduced.

INDUSTRIAL USE The present invention is suitable for recording media such as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs, a data recording method and apparatus for recording data on CD-R disc and CD-RW disc and for reproducing data from of CD-R disc and CD-RW disc, a method and apparatus for reproducing data and a method and apparatus for recording and reproducing data.
