摘要:
There is disclosed an optical card recorder-reader, in which erroneous signal recording, caused by a low-level light beam when it is stopped at a position for a prolonged period between writing and/or reading operation, either by interruping the irradiation, or by reducing the power of irradiation, or by placing the light beam outside the recording area, when the recording or reading operation is not in progress.
摘要:
An optical information recording medium in the form of a card having tracking tracks for obtaining a tracking signal and clock tracks for obtaining a clock signal arranged alternately and record zones for recording information between each of the tracking tracks and each of the clock tracks, and apparatus for recording/reproducing information using the recording medium.
摘要:
In an optical information recording medium of the type wherein information is recorded or reproduced when a light beam scans each of a plurality of mutually parallel tracking tracks, an auxiliary track is extended between the adjacent tracking tracks and has at least one portion in parallel with the tracking tracks. In a method of recording or reproducing information by scanning a light beam on each of a plurality of mutually parallel tracking tracks on the recording medium, the recording medium has an auxiliary track which is extended between the adjacent tracking tracks and which has at least one portion in parallel with the tracking tracks and the light beam is kicked in the parallel portion of the auxiliary track.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for recording information on a card-shaped optical information recording medium with a light beam and/or for reproducing information recorded on the medium. The apparatus includes a device for irradiating the medium with a light beam, a device for causing relative reciprocal movement between the medium and the light beam, and a device for terminating or displacing the light beam on the medium, after the lapse of a predetermined period of time from a moment when the relative speed of the medium and the light beam is reduced below a predetermined speed. The method includes the steps carried out by the apparatus.
摘要:
The information recording method of the present invention comprises steps of recording information on a recording medium by a recording head during forward movement, reading the information recorded during the forward movement in the opposite sequence to the recording sequence during backward movement, and checking if the information has been correctly written or not based on the information read during the backward movement.
摘要:
An optical information recording and reproducing apparatus comprises, an optical head for recording and reproducing information on and from a card-shaped optical recording medium, first means for relatively reciprocally moving said optical head to said card-shaped optical recording medium, and control means for controlling a relative speed between said optical head and said optical recording medium, said control means keeping a constant relative speed between said optical head and said optical recording medium in a record area of said optical recording medium and changing the relative speed between said optical head and said optical recording medium and reversing the direction of the relative movement between said optical head and said optical recording medium in areas outside of the record area.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for driving an optical pickup of an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus having the optical pickup movable on an information track of an optical information recording medium having information tracks formed thereon side by side, and an optical pickup drive device for intermittently moving the optical pickup, wherein a distance of movement in one intermittent movement of the optical pickup is smaller than the pitch of the information tracks.
摘要:
There is disclosed an optical information record/regenerating apparatus, provided with an optical system for forming a light spot on an optical information recording medium having plural tracks and a track jump area in the tracks, and an optical head movably supporting the optical system so as that the light spot can be moved at least to an adjacent track in the track jump area. Information recording and/or regeneration is achieved by moving both the optical head relative to the recording medium, and by moving the optical system within the optical head. However, the movement of the optical head is prohibited in the track jump area to stabilize the track control operation.
摘要:
An apparatus for effecting recording and/or reproduction of information by illuminating a recording medium with a light beam. This apparatus is provided with a motor for moving the medium and the light beam, one actuator for moving the light beam in a direction transverse to information tracks, another actuator for moving an optical head in a direction transverse to the information tracks, a control circuit for moving the light beam from one track to another, and another control circuit for moving the optical head toward an area excluding the recording area of the track at a predetermined timing. A recording/reproducing method of this invention utilizes the aforesaid apparatus, after the light beam has reached the area excluding the recording area on a particular track, the light beam is moved to a different track and the optical head is then moved in the same direction as the direction of movement of the light beam at a predetermined timing. Then, the light beam scans the recording area to record or reproduce information.
摘要:
A tracking device usable in an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus for an optical information record medium on which a plurality of tracks are arranged substantially parallel in a first direction. The device includes a light source, a first optical system for forming a small spot on the record medium by converging a light beam from the light source, a second optical system for obtaining the light beam from the record medium, a detecting device for receiving the light beam obtained by the second optical system to output a tracking signal, a vibrating device for vibrating the spot relative to the record medium in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a control device for effecting tracking control with respect to a track, and a selecting device for selectively actuating the vibrating device and the control device in accordance with the tracking signal from the detecting device.
