Abstract: An optical disc apparatus and a control method for the optical disc apparatus are provided. A control method for an optical disc apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise rotating a disc through a spindle motor if a type of a disc loaded in the optical disc apparatus is determined; and carrying out servo operation which can be processed irrespective of rotation speed of the disc while checking whether the rotation speed of the disc equals a predetermined speed. Servo operation which can be processed independently of the rotation speed of the disc can correspond to operation related to focusing servo and additionally to operation related to tracking servo. Therefore, since the time the user has to wait for requested video, music, or data to be extracted after the user has inserted a medium is reduced, user convenience can be improved.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method and apparatus of identifying optical disk types according to the present invention can identify the type of an optical disk (e.g., DVD-RAM, DVD-RAM, or DVD+/?RW) based on comparisons between a plurality of signals. For example, comparisons between the magnitudes of DPD and DPP tracking error signals and their respective reference values can be used. If an optical disk is identified as DVD+RW or DVD?RW, embodiments according to the present invention can further determine whether the optical disk is DVD+RW or DVD?RW. For example, the frequency of a wobble signal resulting from the shape of tracks formed on the optical disk and variables that affect the wobble frequency (e.g., the rotational speed of the optical disk and the current track position) can be used.

Abstract: A method and device for searching a recording medium are provided. The recording medium has a management information area of which location information is overlapped with that of a program area. The method for determining an area on a recording medium having an overlapped time range between two areas reads a time address from a current position on the recording medium, obtains additional information from the recording medium or from a recording medium driving unit, if the read time address belongs to the overlapped range, and determines, based on the obtained additional information, to which one the areas the current position belongs. Therefore, it prevents wrong track jumps that are caused from time-overlapped areas on a capacity-expanded recording medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a track access apparatus and a method by which an optical pick-up unit quickly accesses a destination track of an optical disc by controlling a tracking actuator using a back electromotive force by detecting the vibration of an objective lens, the position variation, and the distortion of an actuator which occur when the optical pick-up unit is moved across the tracks of the optical disc at a high speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of changing a recording mode from CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) mode to CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) mode in the middle of recording data to a disk recording medium. A method according to the present invention reads ATIP-framed data encoded in a wobble signal formed along a spiral physical track while recording input data to a recording medium, and detects a sync signal contained in the read ATIP-framed data. Another method measures the frequency of a low-frequency component of the wobble signal instead of reading ATIP-framed data. These two methods determine, in common, when to change the recording mode from CAV to CLV based on the period of the detected sync signal or the measured frequency. The present invention makes it possible to record input data to an entire area of a disk more rapidly without fatal errors such as imperfect writing. As a result, total recording time can be reduced with stable recording guaranteed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting a defect area without any mistake during data recording on a writable disk. This method detects a level of a servo error signal produced during a recording operation, checks whether the servo error signal is in an abnormal state based on the detected level, detects a periodic wobble signal or periodicity of the abnormal state occurrences of the servo error signal produced during the recording operation, and determines whether a recording area is in defect based on successful decoding of the detected periodic wobble signal or the periodicity of the abnormal state occurrences if the servo error signal is in an abnormal state. This method ensures exact detection of a defect area, whereby unnecessary speed reduction can be eliminated and successful data writing can be also guaranteed even in a defect area.
