    摘要: This invention provides an erasable optical disk, on which information is recorded and reproduced repeatedly through the irradiation of laser beams, and an optical information recording/reproduction apparatus which records and reproduces information on the erasable optical disk. In erasing and then recording information on the erasable optical disk by using an erasing laser beam and a recording/reproduction laser beam, respectively, the tracking of both laser beams on the same track is detected so as to prevent erroneous erasing. The apparatus uses the optical disk having a mark signal disposed between a sector identifier and a data field, which mark signal is capable of determining the presence of the erasing laser beam on an adjacent track on the erasable optical disk, and the apparatus reproduces and detects the mark signal by using the erasing laser beam. The apparatus discriminates the position of the erasing laser beam depending on whether the mark signal has been detected or not, thereby preventing erroneous erasing of data on the adjacent track and simultaneously assuring the presence of the erasing laser beam on the same track along with the recording/reproduction laser beam.

    摘要: A data recording and reproducing apparatus is disclosed in which an optical disc for recording, reproducing or erasing data is radiated with an erasing light beam and a recording-reproducing light beam sequentially to record or reproduce the data with the recording-reproducing light beam and erase the data with the erasing light beam. In rewriting the data, the erasing light beam is radiated in advance of the recording-reproducing light beam on a data section of the disc, and the old data is erased by temperature increase and annealing by the erasing light beam, while new data is recorded by temperature increase and quenching with the recording-reproducing light beam set to the recording light intensity. After recording the new data, the light intensity of the erasing light beam is gradually decreased and turned off. In rewriting the sector data, the erasing light beam is radiated on the data section in advance of the recording-reproducing light beam, and by the temperature increase and annealing with the erasing light beam, the old data is erased, while new data is recorded by temperature increase and quenching with the recording-reproducing light beam set to the recording light intensity. After recording the new data, the light intensity of the erasing light beam is turned off after being modulated for a predetermined time. By doing so, the process of the temperature and quenching is eliminated which otherwise might be required at the time of turning off the erasing light beam, thereby preventing occurrence of a recording trace and a defect of the recording medium by a thermal shock.

    摘要: In recording data on a disk-shaped information recording medium having formed thereon a plurality of concentric or spiral tracks each being divided into a plurality of sectors each having an ID field and a data field, a data mark is selected from a plurality of distinct data marks according to an address of a target sector such that the selected data mark is different from a data mark recorded in an adjacent sector which is contained in an adjacent track. The selected data mark is recorded at the start position of the data field of the target sector. In reproducing the recorded data, a data mark is selected from the plurality of distinct data marks according to an address of a target sector, and is compared with a data mark reproduced from the target sector to detect whether the reproduced data mark coincides with the selected data mark. Sector data in the target sector is reproduced only when the reproduced data mark coincides with the selected data mark.

    摘要: An information recording and reproducing apparatus has a plurality of optical disk drives including a data optical disk drive for storing data, a work or backup optical disk drive for temporarily storing the data and, preferably, a disk cache memory. The optical disk drives are coupled to a host device such as a central processing unit (CPU) through an optical disk control unit for controlling recording and reproduction of the data. The optical disk control unit writes commands and data transmitted from the host device into the work optical disk drive and the disk cache memory and, if required, writes the data of the disk cache memory into the data optical disk drive. The optical disk control unit, on activation of the apparatus following a malfunction, restores the data of the data optical disk drive to the most recent state thereof by using the contents of the work optical disk drive, whereby the number of times of writing to an optical disk is decreased by using the disk cache memory so as to prevent the data loss on occurrence of problems in functioning of the apparatus, such as power failure or hardware error.

    摘要: An information recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing information on and from a disk type information recording medium, wherein the information recording medium is used in which normal sectors (S1, Sn) each having an address formatted on an address area 12 in a sector ID field 9 and an alternative sector R1 having an address not yet recorded thereon are included on a same track. When a defective sector S3 is detected, first, the address of the defective sector is disabled to be reproduced by recording a delete signal 109 on the address area 12 of the defective sector S3, and at the same time, the address of the defective sector is recorded on an address area 13 in the unused alternative sector R1 located on the same track as the defective sector S3, and then, the data to be recorded on the defective sector is recorded within the alternative sector R1. Owing to such an operation for using an alternative sector, the alternative sector having the same address and data as the defective sector is formed on the same track as the defective sector. As a result, an information recording and reproducing apparatus which enables to access the alternative sector without an additional seek operation at the time of reproduction is provided.

    摘要: In an information and recording and reproducing apparatus using a disc-shaped information recording medium having a plurality of recording tracks, each of which recording tracks is divided into a plurality of sectors, to record and reproduce information on and from the information recording medium on a sector-by-sector basis, when a target sector is detected to be a defective sector whose address can not be reproduced, in the first place, a reference sector, which is positioned preceding the defective target sector and whose address can be reproduced, is detected. Then, a rotational latency time from the detected reference sector to the defective target sector is measured by using:a time measuring circuit for measuring the rotational latency time per se; ora counter circuit for counting the number of a sector mark or sector marks which indicate the presence of an associated sector or sectors and which are detected during the rotational latency time,so that the defective target sector may be taken to be a normally detected target sector whereby information may be recorded and reproduced on and from the defective target sector, thereby making it possible to perform recording and reproduction of information on and from a defective sector whose address can not be reproduced.
