摘要:
Before each content file is recorded first to a recording medium, a flag indicating a recording state of a content file is generated corresponding to a physical area where an index file can be continuously recorded. An index file is generated which associates attribute information with the generated flag added thereto with real data of each content file, and the generated index file is recorded to the recording medium. Since fragmentation of the physical area where the index file is recorded is restrained to a minimum level, a high-speed reading operation is realized.

The present invention relates to a file management technique using indexes, wherein retrieval results and conditions for retrieval are recorded and stored on an entry for a virtual folder on the index for efficient later use. By this feature, objects for retrieval can be refined by using the recorded retrieval results, so that the processing for retrieval can substantially be simplified.

The present invention is applied to reproduction of typically a fragment movie file having a QT format. In accordance with the present invention, management information associated with each block following a first block of the fragment movie file is modified to information compatible with management information associated with the first block and real data of the file is reproduced on the basis of the modified management information.
摘要:
A recording apparatus such as an optical disk and a file management method are disclosed by which, where an index file is formed from groups of data wherein extract information is collected for different types and one of the groups of data is used to collectively manage the other groups of data, a process relating to deletion or addition of extract information can be executed simply, easily, and with certainty. In each of slots of a property entry, information representing whether the slot is valid or invalid and information representative of a relationship to different slots to which extract information relating to the same file is allocated are recorded, and a combination of the slots in which the extract information of the one file is allocated is managed with the property entry.

A file managing apparatus is disclosed which is capable of restoring deleted files with ease. When a user gives an instruction to delete a file 6, a parent entry number for the file 6 is changed from “1” to “2” in a property list having the entry number 6 associated with the file 6. Because the parent entry number that is set for the value “2” points to the entry of a recycle bin, the file 6 is placed in a virtually deleted state. Any virtually deleted file is later restored easily through simple processing.

摘要:
A recording apparatus and a file management method are disclosed which can be applied typically to an optical disk apparatus and make it possible to grasp a hierarchical structure readily and register or delete extract information simply and easily. Reference information pointing to slots of a higher hierarchy, a lower hierarchy and the same hierarchy is set, and a flag is set to delete or register extract information without varying the reference information.
