| 20090003145 | Automatic Disc Eject Device for a Disc-loading Tray of an Optical Disc Drive - An automatic disc eject device for a disc-loading tray of an optical disc drive comprises: a disc-loading frame, a movable disc-loading piece and a pivot. The movable disc-loading piece is connected to the disc-loading frame by a pivot to form a disc-loading tray. When ejecting the disc, the movable disc-loading piece rotates downward about the pivot to allow the optical disc to fall by gravity without having to take the disc out of the disc-loading tray manually. Therefore, the automatic disc eject device can improve the disc-burning efficiency and speed, reduce the labor consumption and improve the productivity. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090028010 | Media Processor and Control Method of Media Processor - A media processor such as a CD publisher functions as a media library. The CD publisher takes out media from a media storage unit, sets the media in a media drive, performs writing of data, and stores the media in a writing-completed media storage unit if there is a data writing request and/or an additional data writing request. The publisher takes out the target media from the media storage unit on the basis of details stored in the storage unit and sets the media in the media drive if there is a data reference request and a data output request. Data of the media can be referenced from the outside, and media in which data writing has been completed can be used as a media library. When final additional writing is completed or there is a discharge command of the media, printing of a label related to data written on a label surface of the media is collectively performed, and then the media is discharged. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20090257326 | Medium management method and storage device - A medium management method is disclosed. A removable medium is conveyed to a drive section when the removable medium is inserted into a medium accommodation section. The drive section reproduces and reads information from the medium and determines whether the medium is a first medium or a second medium on which data externally or internally created have been recorded according to the information read by the drive section. A partial reproduction operation is performed according to an edit list recorded on the first medium and the reproduced data are transferred to a pre-designated host system when the inserted medium is the first medium. The second medium is registered to a database when the determined result denotes that the inserted medium is the second medium. The medium is returned to the medium accommodation section after one of the partial reproduction operation and the database registration process has been completed. | 10-15-2009 |
