| 20080205213 | DATA RECORDING APPARATUS - When a blank DVD-RW disk is loaded into an optical disk drive, a host computer issues a FORMAT command to the disk drive. The optical disk drive having received the command performs quick formatting pursuant to a standard. Subsequently, the host computer issues a WRITE command to the optical disk drive in an idle time thereof, thereby instructing recording of dummy data. Consequently, an advantage analogous to that yielded as a result of background formatting of a DVD+RW disk is yielded, and the entirety of the DVD-RW disk can be formatted readily. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080212422 | Method and Apparatus For Recording Information on a Multi-Layered Optical Disc - A method for copying information from a multi-layered optical source disc ( | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080232210 | Data Recording/Reproduction for Write-Once Discs - A file system is enabled to use a Metadata Partition instead of VAT for write-once discs, and is provided by a pseudo-overwrite method with a plurality of tracks especially for metadata and file data. On applying this invention to a drive apparatus that supports pseudo-overwrite media, the file system distinguishes data to overwrite from data to append (S | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080259751 | Recorder, Host Device, Drive Device, Recording Method, Instruction Method, Program, Integrated Circuit, Reproducing Device, Reproducing Method, and Write-Once-Read-Many Recording Medium - A recording apparatus for recording second information on a write-once recording medium having first information recorded thereon, the recording apparatus including: a host apparatus; and a drive apparatus, wherein the host apparatus includes a storage section for storing the second information; and an instruction section for instructing the drive apparatus to record the stored second information on the write-once recording medium, the drive apparatus includes a generation section for generating correlation information for correlating the first information and the second information; a head section for recording the second information on the write-once recording medium; and a control section for controlling the head section to record the second information and the correlation information on the write-once recording medium. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080291790 | Formatting Multi-Layer Storage Media - A device for recording information on a storage medium ( | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090034377 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT UPDATES OF SEQUENTIAL BLOCK STORAGE - An improved system and method enhances performance of updates to sequential block storage of a storage system. A disk-based sort procedure is provided to establish locality among updates (write data) held in a disk-based log, thereby enabling the write data to be efficiently written to home locations on a home location array. As the write data is received, a log manager of the storage system temporarily stores the data efficiently on the disk-based log. As more write data arrives, the log manager sorts the data in the log in accordance with the sort procedure, thus increasing the locality of data when stored on the home location array. When the log approaches capacity, the log manager writes the sorted data to their home locations on the array with high locality and performance. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090262612 | Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing Method, and Computer Program - An apparatus and a method for quickly starting recording seamless-playable data are provided. At the end of recording a preceding record content, identification information of a clip information file for a subsequent record content to be recorded next is recorded in an attribute information storage file set for the preceding record content. More specifically, a clip information file for a subsequent chapter is reserved at the end of recording of a preceding chapter, and an identifier of the clip information file is recorded in the clip information file for the preceding record chapter. Through the prior reservation process of the clip information file, an updating process for updating the clip information file at the start of recording of the subsequent chapter becomes unnecessary. Data recording, such as a photographing operation of a video camera is thus quickly started. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090310450 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD AND PROGRAM - An information processing device includes: a writing and erasing means for writing and erasing predetermined information to and from a predetermined recording area of a writable optical disc serving as a recording medium; an estimation information writing means for writing estimation information to the recording area to and from which the information is written and erased by the writing and erasing means; and an estimation means for reading the estimation information written to the recording area by the estimation information writing means and estimating a reproduced signal of the read estimation information. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100027388 | INFORMATION REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - An information reproducing apparatus ( | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100039909 | Host Initiated Background Formatting Of Optical Medium - A method and a host processing device are provided for background formatting, or de-icing, an optical medium with no de-icing assistance from an optical drive upon which the optical medium is mounted. In a foreground mode, an optical medium may be initially formatted, volume structures may be recorded on the optical medium, file system information may be written thereto, and quick grow formatting may be performed to make the optical medium writable, at least sequentially. Under initiation and control of a file system, executing on a host processing device, the optical medium may be formatted, or de-iced, in a background mode with no assistance from an optical drive, upon which the optical medium is mounted. Under control of the file system, blocked input or output activity, may be allowed to access the optical medium upon pausing the formatting, or de-icing. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100135133 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND ITS METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND ITS METHOD - This invention relates to a communication system including a first apparatus having a first storage medium, and a second apparatus for transmitting data to the first apparatus, the second apparatus comprising: a second storage medium for storing management information of data to be transferred to the first storage medium; communication means for communicating data with the first apparatus; edit means capable of editing the management information; and control means for making a control to transfer data stored in the second storage medium to the first storage medium by way of the communication means on the basis of the management information edited by the edit means. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110182161 | ELECTRON BEAM RECORDING APPARATUS, CONTROLLER FOR THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - The controller includes a deflection signal generator for generating a deflection signal for causing the electron beam to deflect and perform overwriting so that a beam spot of the electron beam follows the translation of the substrate over a period during which the substrate is rotated over a predetermined number of overwriting cycles; and a data output unit for outputting the drawing data, wherein, the deflection signal generator generates a deflection adjustment signal for irradiating the electron beam at a starting position for drawing a concentric circle to be subsequently overwritten after a predetermined deflection adjustment period has elapsed since overwriting of concentric circles based on the drawing data has completed. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110305125 | DATA PROCESSOR - To provide means for editing a content data stream quickly. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20130182549 | SUPER-RESOLUTION OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH INFORMATION IS RECORDED USING TRAIN OF PREPITS, OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM REPRODUCTION DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD - A super-resolution optical recording medium includes: a medium information region on which medium identification information is recorded; a content region on which content information is recorded; and a blank region provided between the medium information region and the content region and in which at least two tracks are provided so as to connect a train of prepits in the medium information region and a train of prepits in the content region. No information is recorded on the blank region. Thus, a super-resolution optical recording medium is provided in which a region on which medium identification information is recorded and a region on which content information is recorded are different in track pitch and in which a reproduction error hardly occurs when reproduction shifts from the region on which the medium identification information is recorded to the region on which the content information is recorded. | 07-18-2013 |
