摘要:
An optical disc using a single-spiral land and groove track format enabling accurate tracking offset correction and reliable detection of the transition point between a land track and a groove track, and a driving apparatus therefor, are disclosed. Four physical address areas PID1, PID2, PID3, and PID4 are recorded to a header area such that PID1 and PID2 are offset one-half track pitch toward the outside circumference of the disc from the groove track center, and PID3 and PID4 are offset one-half track pitch toward the inside circumference of the disc from the groove track center, and the physical address areas PID1 - PID4 can be detected by means of a difference signal in the radial direction. The single frequency pattern area VFO at the beginning of each PID is lengthened by PID1 and PID3, thereby enabling tracking offset correction using a sum signal, and detection of the land-groove transition point using a difference signal obtained from the PID offset. The frequency of the VFO pattern may be set lower than the highest frequency of the channel bit sequences of the modulation method used on the disc. Address marks may employ a channel bit pattern which includes two sequenses which are longer than the longest mark length of the modulation method.

摘要:
A method of reproducing an optical disk storing main digital data recorded by optically readable recording marks and sub-digital data, the sub-digital data being superposed with the main digital data and being recorded to the disk by slightly displacing positions or shapes of the recording marks in a track direction of the recording mark, the method comprising constructing a pattern based on the sub-digital data, comparing the pattern with a predetermined key information, and restricting a reproduction of content recorded by the main digital data when a correlation between the pattern and the key information is not confirmed, wherein the reproduction is restricted by dropping the transfer rate to degrade image quality, or by performing intermittent reproduction. The key information may be obtained via a network.

摘要:
The invention concerns an optical/reproducing apparatus for optical discs having land and groove tracks. The apparatus has means to identify whether a land or a groove track is scanned, by using the polarity of the tracking error signal. The tracking error signal is gated by envelope detection, the polarity by comparing two differently low-pass filtered versions of the tracking error signal.
