摘要:
An apparatus-implemented method according to one embodiment includes detecting an error while writing data to a tape volume, and repositioning the tape in response to detecting the error. Further, the method includes determining, after the repositioning, a current position of the tape, and determining, based on the current position, whether a rewrite of data associated with the error to the tape volume is allowed. A system according to one embodiment includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the foregoing method to occur. A computer program product according to one embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a controller to cause the controller to perform the foregoing method.

The invention relates to a method, an apparatus, and a recording medium for recording multimedia content, which allow a controlled access to the multimedia content. According to the invention, the recording medium for recording multimedia content has a content limitation indicator for indicating which multimedia content is allowed to be recorded on the recording medium, which specifies an age rating for the multimedia content. A recording apparatus compares the multimedia content to be recorded with the limitations specified by the content limitation indicator prior to recording the multimedia content on the recording medium.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a disk unit capable of restricting access to data stored in the recording medium depending on users. In one embodiment, the user enters a password into a host computer. This password is transferred to a password verification section. Then, the password verification section checks whether the password coincides with any one of authentication passwords stored in an authentication password storage section. If the password coincides with any one of the passwords, the password verification section supplies an authentication signal to an operation mode control section. The operation mode control section supplies an operation mode signal to a controller by receiving the authentication signal. The controller controls execution of the operation mode according to the operation mode signal.
摘要:
A method of controlling presentation of content on a media storage device is described. The method is comprised of verifying the presence of a media presentation mechanism and a usage compliance mechanism on a computer system operated by a recipient to whom the media storage device is distributed. The usage compliance mechanism includes a file system filter driver for controlling data reads associated with the computer readable media. The media presentation mechanism is communicatively coupled with the usage compliance mechanism. The present method further includes the file system driver performing a first decryption of the computer readable media. The present method further includes the media presentation mechanism performing a second decrypting of the computer readable media concurrent with presenting the computer readable media to the recipient.

摘要:
A recording medium, such as a high-density and/or optical recording medium including segment information recorded thereon, and apparatus and methods for recording to and reproducing from the recording medium, in order to improve data protection, data management and/or reproduction compatibility. The recording medium may contain at least one segment area which is an area on the disc controlled by a plurality of valid PACs and if the designated segment areas overlap with one another, control information of the respective PACs which control the overlapped area may be applied to control the overlapped area.

A recording or playback apparatus classifies privacy-related information such as information concerning an operation of an apparatus and information for identifying an operator into, e.g., an individual identification information category, playback contents information category, apparatus maintenance information category, and photographing environment information category, and controls recording, playback, display, transfer, or erase of the privacy-related information by the apparatus in accordance with the classified categories.
摘要:
A recording medium storing a write protection information, and a write protection method for protecting data recorded on a recordable and/or rewritable disc from unwanted overwriting or erasing. In order for write protection of a disc in a bare state that is usually used in a cartridge having a recognition switch for write-protection, such as a DVD-RAM, write protection information is recorded in a Lead-in area, a Lead-out area or a recording information area other than a user data area of the disc, and the data is protected from unwanted overwriting or erasing using the write protection information. Also, even though the write protection information stored on a disc does not match the state of a recognition switch of a case for write-protection, the data can be prevented from unwanted overwriting or erasing. Thus, the write protection can be ensured when a recordable and/or rewritable recording medium, such as DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW, is used in a bare state.

This invention relates to a method of embedding a watermark pattern with a payload in a time dependent information signal, comprising the steps of determining a number of robust signatures in the information signal, creating the payload being dependent of at least one of the number of robust signatures and a predefined message, embedding the watermark pattern according to the payload in the information signal. The invention also relates to a corresponding method and arrangement for detecting a watermark pattern in an information signal.
摘要:
An information recording medium, a recording/reproducing method and apparatus, and a host apparatus are provided to ensure compatibility between information recording media having functions of a new standard and existing standard drive systems. The information recording medium includes a data area, a defect management area for managing a defect occurring in the data area, and an access control area in which access control data regarding a recognizable function by a recording/reproducing apparatus into which the medium is loaded and access control data regarding an unrecognizable function by the recording/reproducing apparatus are recorded, wherein a write protection flag recorded in the defect management area and the access control data recorded in the access control area provide reinitialize verification information for verifying whether the medium is reinitializable.
