Abstract:
Sub-information necessary for reproduction of main information is recorded on an optical disc without deterioration of reading accuracy of the main information, so that illegal reproduction is prevented. After a concave and convex mark (MK) synchronizing with integer times a channel bit length is formed on optical disc (1) in accordance with modulated main information, a reflective film (IL) is formed on the concave and convex mark (MK). After the optical disc (1) is molded, a continuous or intermittent laser light, which has an interval that is longer than the longest mark in the concave and convex mark (MK) and is synchronous with integer times the channel bit length, is irradiated to the reflective film (IL) which, in turn, changes its chemical characteristic to form a recordable mark, so that the sub-information necessary for reproduction of the main information is recorded in a superimposition manner.
Abstract:
An information recording medium according to the present invention includes three or more information recording layers. Each of the plurality of information recording layers includes a test recording area usable for adjusting a recording condition. One of the plurality of information recording layers includes a reproduction-only management data area in which management data usable for managing the information recording medium is pre-recorded. One information recording layer includes a recordable management data area in which management data usable for managing the information recording medium is newly writable. Each of the other two or more information recording layers among the plurality of information recording layers includes a test recording area at a radial position overlapping the radial position of a part of the reproduction-only management data area. In the one recording layer including the recordable management data area, the recordable management data area is provided at two positions, i.e., one on the inner side and the other on the outer side to the test recording area.
Abstract:
It is possible to provide a safe and user-friendly authentication system for authenticating an object required in various conditions. The authentication system (900) includes a first authentication information transmission device (901) having first authentication information, a second authentication information transmission unit (904) having second authentication information, and an authentication unit (905) for authenticating a user or user’s right. The second authentication information transmission unit (904) transmits second authentication information only while it receives the first authentication information transmitted from the first authentication information transmission device (901). The authentication unit (905) receives the second authentication information transmitted from the second authentication information transmission unit (904) and authenticates a user or user’s right according to the second authentication information.
Abstract:
A device enabled to prevent an increase in a starting time period even in the presence of both disks having a recording groove track and a recording land track. An optical disk (101) is of the type for recording in the groove track, and an optical disk (107) is of the type for recording in the land track. These individual optical disks (101, 107) are provided with control data areas (102, 108) and data recording areas (103, 109) for recording user data. In both the optical disks (101, 107), the control data areas (102, 108) have codes recorded therein for indicating which track is to be tracking-servoed.
Abstract:
A recording power determination method for determining a recording power of an optical beam for recording data on an information storage medium includes the steps of recording test data on the information storage medium at a plurality of test recording powers; reading the test data recorded at each test recording power, generating a signal, and measuring a modulation factor of the signal corresponding to each test recording power; calculating a product of an n'th power of each test recording power and the corresponding modulation factor, thereby obtaining a plurality of products corresponding to the plurality of test recording powers, where n is a value of exponent and is a real number other than 1; calculating a first recording power based on the correlation between the plurality of test recording powers and the plurality of products; and calculating the recording power based on the first recording power.
Abstract:
An operation of a reliability value of |Pa-Pb|-Pstd of maximum-likelihood decoding results of a portion, which is equivalent to a start/end edge of a recording mark edge and has a high error generating probability in the maximum-likelihood decoding method, is performed for each combination of a prescribed mark length and a length of a space just before the mark, and for each combination of the mark length and a space just after the mark. Based on the operation results, a recording parameter is optimized, and recording is performed by having the optimized recording parameter reflected.
