摘要:
The present invention relates to a recording medium and apparatus and method for managing a defective area of the recording medium. According to an embodiment, the method includes (a) determining whether there is an available replacement block in a spare area and a found defective block is controlled by a linear replacement algorithm; (b) managing a defective data block based on the determination, such that the defective data block is replaced with the replacement block of the spare area if there is the available replacement block and the found defective data block is controlled by the linear replacement algorithm; and (c) recording a defect list to the recording medium, wherein the defect list includes first position information specifying the location of defective data block, second position information specifying the location of replacement block and identification information specifying that the defective data block is replaced.

The present invention relates to an optical recording medium and optical recording medium record/playback apparatus and method, for managing defective areas in a rewritable optical recording medium. Particularly, the present invention adds a linear replacement control (LRC) bit to a secondary defective list (SDL) entry to discriminate a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a linear replacement algorithm from a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a skipping algorithm. This allows the optical recording medium record/playback apparatus to transmit correct information to a host. Furthermore, when a defective block requiring a new replacement block is found while recording or playing back data when the spare area is full, instead of carrying out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL entry along with the location information of the defective block to indicate that the corresponding SDL entry was made when the spare area was full, whereby data is not written in the defective block or data of the defective block is not read when rewriting or reproducing the data afterward. Consequently, the present invention can provide efficient management over the optical recording medium.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for managing defect areas of a rewritable optical recording medium. Upon receiving a write or read command from a host, the defect areas management apparatus decodes a PID of a position being currently traced by an optical pickup, generates the resultant physical sector number of the current position and compares it with a physical sector number of a defect area stored in a DMA storage unit. If the two physical sector numbers are the same, the defect areas management apparatus does not write or read data on a sector of the position traced by the optical pickup. Therefore, the defect areas management apparatus is capable of efficiently managing defect areas of the optical recording medium.

A method for recording or reproducing data to/from an optical recording medium, through an interface from the optical recording/reading device to a host device, includes receiving a real time write command from the host device if real time data is generated; determining the presence of a defective block listed on a Defect List of a Defect Management Area in a writing area designated by the write command prior to writing the data; returning position information of a defective block to the host device if a defective block is present; and receiving a new write command from the host device to write the data on the optical recording medium based on the returned position information of the defective block.
摘要:
An optical recording medium record/playback apparatus manages defective areas in a rewritable optical recording medium. A linear replacement control (LRC) bit is added to a secondary defective list (SDL) entry to discriminate defective block information listed in the SDL entry, according to a linear replacement algorithm, from defective block information listed at the SDL entry, according to a skipping algorithm. This allows the apparatus to transmit correct information to a host. When a defective block requiring a new replacement block is found during recording or playing back data and the spare area is full, instead of carrying out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL entry, along with the location information of the defective block. This indicates that the SDL entry was made when the spare area was full. Thus, data is not written in, or read from, the defective block.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a recording medium and apparatus and method for managing defective areas in the recording medium. According to an embodiment, the method includes (a) reading a defect management information recorded on a defect management area, the defect management information including second information specifying a location of a replacement area to replace the defective area and status information specifying whether or not the defective area is replaced; (b) identifying the defect management information; and (c) controlling a writing operation according to the result of step (b).
摘要:
A recording medium and a method for recording are provided. The recording medium according to an embodiment includes a control information used to represent a recording capacity of the recording medium, wherein the control information includes first information associated with a pre-defined recording capacity of the recording medium, and second information associated with a varied recording capacity of the recording medium, the second information being recorded at a position different from the first information.
摘要:
A method for recording data on an optical recording medium includes the step of receiving data to be written and control data. The control data includes status information to indicate whether or not an other sector within a block in which a sector is included is valid. The data is written in an other sector within the block. The method further includes determining whether to perform an error certification process based on the control data, and writing the data based on the result of determining step.
摘要:
Optical recording medium having an indication of a recording capacity, and method for indicating a recording capacity of an optical recording medium facilitates recording or reproducing of an accurate amount of data by indicating the initial recording capacity determined by default and the varied recording capacity by additional allocation of the spare area and the like on particular area of the optical recording medium, and conducting the data writing or reading with reference to the initial recording capacity or the varied recording capacity depending on a state of variation of the recording capacity.
摘要:
Device and method for recording a data on an optical recording medium, the device including a controller for transmitting a data to be written, if the data to be written is produced, together with a control signal, determining that a data in a block of the sector the data to be written is valid if the data to be written is a sector unit data, marking a result of the determination as identification information in the control signal, and transmitting the identification information, and a data writing part for identifying the identification information in the control signal from the controller, and writing the data from the controller in the sector designated by the control signal directly, if the identification information indicates that the data in the block having the sector the data to be written therein is not valid, thereby reducing data writing failure caused by failure of reading data in sectors in a block other than the sector the data to be written therein, and enhancing a system performance in writing.
