  • Patent number: 7948379
    Abstract: Disclosed are an optical disk recording and reproducing apparatus, a remote controller, and a content management method capable of allowing a user to easily confirm contents recorded on an optical disk, wherein an optical disk is integrally provided with a read-only RFID tag that records only a disk ID to identify the optical disk as an individual. When a content is recorded on the optical disk, a video recorder records disk management information including the disk ID of the optical disk and index information about the content. After the content is recorded, a remote controller noncontactly reads the disk ID from the RFID tag of the optical disk and transmits the disk ID to the video recorder. The video recorder extracts index information corresponding to the received disk ID from the disk management information and displays the index information in a list.

  • Patent number: 7286461
    Abstract: An optical disk driving apparatus includes a control computer, and the optical disk driving apparatus acquires a wobble signal. The control computer calculates an average period of a binarized wobble signal and a variance of the period of the binarized wobble signal. The control computer determines whether the calculated average period satisfies the specifications of DVD-R or DVD-RW and determines whether the calculated variance is below a predetermined level.
