Publication number: 20080046794Abstract: An ECC block is constituted by RS(248,216,33). Of a data length of 216 bytes (symbols), only 16 bytes are allocated to BCA data and the remaining 200 bytes are used for fixed data having a predetermined value. Using the fixed data of 200 bytes and the BCA data of 16 bytes, parities of 32 bytes (symbols) are calculated. Only the BCA data of 16 bytes and the parities of the former 16 bytes of the 32-byte parities, that is, a total of 32 bytes only, are recorded in a burst cutting area of an optical disc. In decoding, error correction processing is carried out by using the fixed data of 200 bytes. The unrecorded parities of 16 bytes are processed as having been erased. Thus, the error correction capability in a burst cutting area of an optical disc can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2007Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicants: Sony Corporation, MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Shoei Kobayashi, Susumu Senshu, Tamotsu Yamagami, Makoto Usui, Hideshi Ishihara, Mitsurou Moriya, Cornelis Schep, Jakob Nijboer, Aalbert Stek

Publication number: 20070204202Abstract: Four ECC blocks are recorded in a burst cutting area of an optical disc. Each ECC block is constituted by a BCA content code of 1 byte, content data length of 1 byte, and content data of 14 bytes. Of the BCA content data, the leading 6 bits are used for application ID and the remaining 2 bits are used for block number. Disc ID is stored in the content data. Since the four ECC blocks exist, the optical disc can be managed individually by four applications at the maximum. Thus it becomes possible to manage the same optical disc by a plurality of applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2007Publication date: August 30, 2007Applicants: Sony Corporation, MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD, KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Shoei Kobayashi, Susumu Senshu, Tamotsu Yamagami, Makoto Usui, Hideshi Ishihara, Mitsurou Moriya, Cornelis Schep, Jakob Nijboer, Aalbert Stek

Publication number: 20060067194Abstract: A method and device for recording multiple information volumes on a record carrier, usually called multi-session recording, has a mapping unit (31) for opening a session by recording intro data including a first buffer zone at the beginning of the start zone of the volume, and a session control block (SDCB) in a remaining blank area of the start zone after the buffer zone. The session control block includes volume data indicative of the status and the contents of the session. The session is closed by recording session control data indicating that the information volume is closed in the remaining blank area, and closure data after the last user information recorded in the data zone for constituting the end zone of the volume.

Publication number: 20060007815Abstract: Compatibility information embedded in an optical medium modifies actions allowed by predetermined non-compatible optical disc drives on the optical medium, such as optical disc drives that may suffer damage if certain actions are performed on the optical medium. For instance, a compatibility engine of the optical disc drive applies compatibility information read from an optical medium to determine restrictions to impose on the use of the optical medium, such as restricting the optical disc drive from writing to the optical medium, reading from the optical medium or performing any operations until an update to the optical disc drive firmware is performed either automatically or by display of a compatibility user interface at an information handling system associated with the optical disc drive. In one embodiment, the compatibility information identifies incompatible optical disc drives and firmware versions by unique identifiers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2004Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventors: Dirk Erickson, Robert Brondijk, Jacobus Heemskerk, Jakob Nijboer, Christiaan Steenbergen, Charles Weirauch

Publication number: 20050254797Abstract: The invention relates to a record carrier of a disc-like optically inscribable type, having a preformed track in which an auxiliarily signal comprising a sequence of codes is recorded by means of a preformed track modulation. The codes comprise a sequence of address codes (AC) specifying the addresses of the track portions in which said address codes (AC) are recorded and special codes (SC). The special codes (SC) can be distinguished from said address codes (AC) and specify control data for controlling a recording by a recording device. The record carrier is provided with an extended area (XAA) proceeding a program calibration area (PCA), the extended area (XAA) comprising special codes (SC) representing additional control information for controlling a recording.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Jakob Nijboer, Johannes Gerardus Kablau

Publication number: 20050122851Abstract: An optical record carrier (1) includes an area (2) for storing user information and an area (3) for storing control information. The control information is arranged in a block of frames of equal length. The block includes an identification of the total number of frames in the block.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2002Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: Jakob Nijboer, Aalbert Stek, Cornelis Schep

Publication number: 20050105421Abstract: A device, record carrier (11) and method for recording information on a track (9) of the record carrier (11) is described. The record carrier (11) contains a disc information area with information about the record carrier (11), such as for example a write strategy for that record carrier (11). The device has disc information reading means (35) for reading the disc information area. The disc information area further contains extended information blocks. The extended information block have a block version number and additional parameters. The block version number defines how the additional parameters are to be interpreted. In this manner a more flexible backwards compatibility system is realized. Drives which are able to interpret the additional parameters of an extended information block can chose to use the additional parameters in that block. Older drives use other blocks or fall back to the first basic part of the disc information area.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2003Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Jakob Nijboer, Paulus Weijenbergh
