Patent number: 7369464Abstract: Management information is read from an information storage medium having the management information recorded thereon, the management information including track number information imparted to at least one track and group management information for managing as selective recording information one or a plurality of tracks as one group. Judgment is then made upon whether the group management information is included in that management information. A display mode is changed depending on a case where the group management information is recorded and a case where it is not recorded, and it is then displayed in a displaying device.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2004Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Takayuki Iijima, Hiroshi Kobayashi, Katsuaki Yamanoi, Shinichiro Abe, Tomoyasu Yamada

Patent number: 7200090Abstract: When a detection device detects any kind of change regarding track recording after the start of the track recording, a grouping instruction is given to information attaching and generating device. Then, the information attaching and generating device attaches the same group name information to a group, in which a track where the recording has been started in an information recording medium to a track recorded at the point when the grouping instruction has been received are made to be the same group, and group control information is generated. Therefore, since the grouping is automatically performed by any kind of change regarding the track recording, a user can omit the operation that he/she performs the grouping by himself/herself, and thus the operation load of the user can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2001Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Katsuaki Yamanoi, Tomoyasu Yamada, Takayuki Iijima, Shinichiro Abe, Yoji Shumura, Tomoko Miyagawa, Junichi Fukamachi

Patent number: 6839311Abstract: The information recording unit has a memory for firstly storing data, a record medium for intermittently recording the stored data in the memory, a record means for recording the data on the record medium, and a valid-data decision means for determining whether the recorded data is valid. The record means records the data in at least two different areas on the record medium, and the decision determines one valid data among the recorded data in the different areas. The unit includes a record control means for controlling the record means. The record control means provides a control command for the record means to record a predetermined quantity of data stored in the memory at a first recording location on the record medium and also provides a control command for the record means to read the predetermined quantity of the data at least one recording location different from the first recording location after the predetermined quantity of the data is recorded at the first recording location.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1999Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Katsuaki Yamanoi, Junichi Yoshio, Takayuki Iijima, Jun Shinohara, Osamu Yoshizawa

Patent number: 6801482Abstract: An information reproduction unit has a data read means with a pickup for intermittently reading data recorded on a storage medium, a write means for writing the data in a memory, and a reproduction means for sequentially reading out the data written in the memory. The unit also has a defect detection means for detecting a defect of the storage medium during a data read waiting period. The defect detection means may determine the presence of a defect based on a readout result provided by the data read means. The unit may further include a storage means for storing a defect position information. Furthermore, a read characteristic may be adjusted on reading data at the defect position on the storage medium.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1999Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Takayuki Iijima, Junichi Yoshio, Katsuaki Yamanoi, Jun Shinohara, Osamu Yoshizawa

Optical information reproducing and recording apparatus utilizing varying temperature setting ranges
Patent number: 6738330Abstract: A temperature inside the information reproducing and recording apparatus is always monitored and it is judged whether the temperatures is a proper operation start temperature, a stop temperature or a restart temperature or not. Based on this judgement, the start and the like of the reproducing and recording operation is properly controlled. Further, with respect to the reproducing and the recording of the information, their respective proper operation temperature ranges are set individually.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2001Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Yoji Shumura, Tomoko Miyagawa, Katsuaki Yamanoi -

Patent number: 5608698Abstract: A disk player reads data read from a disk after temporary storage in a memory and outputs the read data and is capable of preventing the memory from becoming empty by a retry operation for reading data, thereby avoiding a sound failure. When an address whose data is not correctly readable is present on a disk, the address information of that address is stored, and when the same disk is played again, the data reading operation for the new address is performed before the amount of remaining data in the memory becomes too small at the time the next reading address is address whose data is unreadable based on the address information. When at least the same disk is played again, therefore, the memory may not become empty, thus preventing a sound failure from occurring.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1995Date of Patent: March 4, 1997Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Katsuaki Yamanoi, Isamu Miura, Tomoko Miyagawa
