| 20080212421 | RECORDING APPARATUS - In a recording apparatus (camcorders, optical disc recorders, etc.), the operator presses down priority designating buttons for designating priorities when recording input image data. An additional information generating section records and holds, in a storage section, additional information indicating priorities of data to be recorded (e.g., “low”, “intermediate”, “high”, or “highest”) which are set, depending on what priority designating button has been pressed down. If recordable remaining space in the storage section detected by the remaining amount detecting section falls below a predetermined value before the start of or during recording of data, a control section overwrites regions in order of priority of data which is stored therein, the lowest first, with data which is about to be recorded or is being recorded, based on the additional information generated by the additional information generating section. Therefore, even if free space in the storage medium becomes small, a decisive moment can be recoded, for example. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090207704 | Recording apparatus, server apparatus, recording method, program, and storage medium - A data recording apparatus recording data of a CD on an HDD in a manner such that the content of record in the CD is faithfully accounted for and shortening an operation time for a synchronized ripping operation. When the data recording apparatus reads, from the CD, track data managed by track, according to TOC, and records the track data onto the HDD, the data recording apparatus recognizes data unrecorded on the HDD, from among the track data recorded on the CD. This recognition process is automatically performed based on the TOC read from the CD, and album information replayed using the TOC and held by the HDD. The recording apparatus reproduces and outputs only the unrecorded data from the CD based on the recognition result concerning the unrecorded data. In this way, the data already recorded on the HDD is not transferred from the CD to the HDD. The operation time for the synchronized ripping operation is reduced accordingly. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090285062 | Method for Rearranging Back-Up Data - The invention discloses a method for rearranging back-up data, which first starts rearranging a back-up area when a rewritable optical disc is loaded, reads all available replacing blocks on the back-up area, rearranges the order of the replacing blocks based on the order of addresses of corresponding data blocks on the user data area, writes the rearranged replacing blocks into a planned area of the back-up area, and registers the corresponding information to finish the operation of rearrangement for rapidly reading data. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110205875 | OPTICAL DISC CONTROLLER AND OPTICAL DISC DRIVE SYSTEM - An object of this invention is to provide an optical disc controller and an optical disc drive system which reduce the proceeding time for supplementing data that is deficient at the time of writing to the optical disc. The present invention relates to an optical disc controller and a optical disc drive system. An optical disc controller includes an interface circuit, a buffer, a memory manager, an ECC circuit, a modulation circuit, and an operation processor. The memory manager has a control register part, a copy transfer controller, and a buffer controller. The control register part further includes a copy sector number setting register for taking out and holding information of plural sector numbers of deficient data from a control signal of the operation processor. The copy transfer controller successively conducts copy transfer process for plural sector numbers based on the sector number information. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110286315 | OPTICAL DISK, AN OPTICAL DISK BARCODE FORMING METHOD, AN OPTICAL DISK REPRODUCTION APPARATUS, A MARKING FORMING APPARATUS, A METHOD OF FORMING A LASER MARKING ON AN OPTICAL DISK, AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN OPTICAL DISK - Disclosed is an optical disk barcode forming method wherein, as information to be barcoded, position information for piracy prevention, which is a form of ID, is coded as a barcode and is recorded by laser trimming on a reflective film in a PCA area of an optical disk. When playing back the thus manufactured optical disk on a reproduction apparatus, the barcode data can be played back using the same optical pickup. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20120002520 | PLAYBACK DEVICE, RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK METHOD AND PROGRAM - A playback device reads a BD-J application from a BD-ROM and runs the BD-J application. The BD-J application causes, by using a socket connection API, the digital copy module of the playback device to execute copying of a protected content for portable terminals to a removable recording medium and setting of a resume playback point on the copied content. The resume playback point is specified by the BD-J application according to playback time information read from the PSR set. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120236697 | MASTER STRATEGY ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND DISC MANUFACTURING METHOD - A master strategy adjustment method includes performing first recording on a master with a predetermined strategy, performing first measurement of an evaluation value of the master of the first recording, forming a first optical disc based on the master after the first recording, performing second measurement of an evaluation value of the optical disc formed as the first optical disc, calculating a target value of the evaluation value of the master based on a difference with the first measurement evaluation value and the second measurement evaluation value, and adjusting the strategy so that the evaluation value with regard to the master matches the target value, performing recording on the master with the adjusted writing strategy, performing measurement of the evaluation value of the master, and performing determination of whether the evaluation value is within a predetermined range with the target value as a reference until an affirmative result is obtained. | 09-20-2012 |
| 20120250477 | METHOD AND DEVICES FOR COPY PROTECTION, COPY PROTECTED RECORD CARRIER - A method for copy protection includes providing audiovisual or audio data stored in sectors of a record carrier having a file system, and providing additional data to be stored in further sectors. The method includes generating first and second files referencing respective first and second parts of the sectors and respective further first and second parts of the further sectors, so when the first and second files are completely rendered by a playback device, respective first and second parts of the data and respective further first and second parts of the additional data are reproduced. The method also includes determining program instructions, which when executed by the playback device, control switching between reading the first file and the second file, and when the record carrier is an original, switching is controlled so only the sectors and none of the further sectors are read such that no additional data is reproduced. | 10-04-2012 |
| 20130088945 | MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR OPTICAL DISC, OPTICAL DISC, PLAYBACK METHOD FOR OPTICAL DISC, PLAYBACK APPARATUS FOR OPTICAL DISC, RECORDING APPARATUS FOR OPTICAL DISC - Address information that has been error correction encoded is recorded on a second version of a recording medium after being transformed such that such that the address decoding cannot be performed by a playback device that is not compatible with the second version of the recording medium. The address decoding for the second version of the recording medium cannot be performed by the incompatible playback device (for example, a playback device that was manufactured to be compatible only with a first version of the recording medium). In other words, in the playback device that is not compatible with the second version of the recording medium, a state is created in which address errors cannot be corrected, so access is impossible (recording and playback are impossible). | 04-11-2013 |

| 20130235709 | PERIODIC DESTAGES FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DIAMETERS OF DISKS TO IMPROVE READ RESPONSE TIMES - A storage controller that includes a cache, receives a command from a host, wherein a set of criteria corresponding to read response times for executing the command have to be satisfied. A destage application that destages tracks based at least on recency of usage and spatial location of the tracks is executed, wherein a spatial ordering of the tracks is maintained in a data structure, and the destage application traverses the spatial ordering of the tracks. Tracks are destaged from at least inside or outside diameters of disks at periodic intervals, while traversing the spatial ordering of the tracks, wherein the set of criteria corresponding to the read response times for executing the command are satisfied. | 09-12-2013 |
