摘要:
An authentication apparatus includes a data storage unit for storing authentication apparatus identification information, an interface unit for connecting to a host device through a first interface, and an authentication processor that executes an authentication process using the authentication apparatus identification information stored in the data storage unit. The authentication processor executes the authentication process upon receipt of an authentication request signal from the host device through the interface unit, and outputs an authentication response signal including data indicative of a result of the authentication process to the host device via the interface unit. The authentication request signal is for requesting authentication of a data storage device connected to the host device through a second interface.

A disc defect management method and apparatus using a defect management area that can be updated, and a write once disc incorporating the method. A data area is disposed between a lead-in area and a lead-out area. The disc includes a defect management area (DMA) that is present in at least one of the lead-in area or the lead-out area, wherein defect information and defect management information are repeatedly recorded in the DMA according to a recording operation. Accordingly, the disc defect management method and apparatus enable effective use of the defect management area. The method is also applicable to a multi layer disc having a user data area on each layer. The defect information and the defect management information for an individual defect may include cumulative defect information and defect management information related to previously identified defects.

A video recording apparatus to record a television program with an optimal quality according to a residual quantity of a recording medium and a method therefor. The video recording apparatus detects the residual quantity of the recording medium and a running time of the television program to be recorded on the recording medium, to determine an optimal image compression ratio. Then, the video recording apparatus records the television program based on the determined optimal image compression ratio, making the best use of the residual quantity of the recording medium.

An apparatus for synchronously reproducing compressed and multiplexed data for multi-angle reproduction. The apparatus for synchronously reproducing multi-angle data includes a plurality of reproducers to receive a data stream in which multi-angle data is multiplexed for multi-angle reproduction, to separate, decode and reproduce data corresponding to a predetermined angle from the received data stream and to generate a reproduction ready notice signal indicating that data is ready for reproduction. One of the plurality of reproducers synchronizes data reproduction of the plurality of reproducers based on the reproduction ready notice signals generated by the other reproducers. Thus, images involving various angles at an instant can be provided to a user.
