  • Patent number: 9336821
    Abstract: Provided is a recording apparatus including a light radiating unit that radiates light to an optical recording medium, a recording unit that performs light emission control of the light radiating unit, and performs recording on the optical recording medium, and a control unit that controls the recording unit in a manner that recording of remaining data starts from a position over a defect occurrence area, according to occurrence of a defect, in a state in which a logical address space and a physical address space are defined with respect to a recording area of the optical recording medium, and controls the recording unit in a manner that, when the buffer area is consumed and data is not completely recorded, a recording area of the remaining data that is not completely recorded is replaced with the spare area and the remaining data is recorded on the spare area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9177590
    Abstract: There is provided a recording apparatus including a light radiating unit that radiates light to an optical recording medium, a recording unit that performs light emission control of the light radiating unit, and performs recording on the optical recording medium, and a control unit that performs control in a manner that, in a state in which a logical address space, a virtual address space obtained by adding at least a spare area to the logical address space, and a physical address space obtained by adding a buffer area to the virtual address space are defined, a process for replacing a recording area of the optical recording medium with the spare area is executed using a virtual address.
