Description
技术领域technical field
本发明提供一种用于确定光学信息记录媒体(Optical information recordmedium)的最大存储容量的方法,并且特别地,该光学信息记录媒体具有预形成沟槽(Pregroove),在该预形成沟槽上还标记有预定地址码(Predeterminedaddress codes),例如,预形成沟槽内的绝对时间码(Absolute Time InPregroove codes,ATIP codes)。The present invention provides a method for determining the maximum storage capacity of an optical information record medium (Optical information record medium), and in particular, the optical information recording medium has a pregroove on which a pregroove is formed. Marked with predetermined address codes (Predetermined address codes), for example, absolute time codes (Absolute Time InPregroove codes, ATIP codes) in preformed grooves.
背景技术Background technique
现今的光学信息记录媒体,例如,CD-R、CD-RW、DVD-R、DVD-RW等可写入光盘,以及磁光盘(MO-disk)和相类似的记录媒体等,其写入方法是通常先在该记录媒体上形成预形成沟槽。在该沟槽上标记有预定地址码,例如ATIP码,用于向光学信息记录/再现装置(Optical informationrecording/reproducing apparatus)(例如光盘刻录机)提供跟踪的依据,进而协助记录/读取数据。基本上,上述的预定地址码以时间值来表示。关于光学信息记录媒体应用预形成沟槽及预定地址码的写入方法的相关的现有方法,请参考美国专利第5,226,027号,以及Philip公司在1997年所出版的“Compact Disc Recordable System Description”(黄皮书,第三版),其详细技术内容在此不作赘述。Today's optical information recording media, such as CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, etc. can be written to optical discs, as well as magneto-optical discs (MO-disk) and similar recording media, etc., and the writing method Usually a pre-groove is first formed on the recording medium. A predetermined address code, such as an ATIP code, is marked on the groove, which is used to provide a tracking basis for an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus (such as an optical disc recorder), thereby assisting in recording/reading data. Basically, the aforementioned predetermined address code is represented by a time value. Please refer to U.S. Patent No. 5,226,027, and "Compact Disc Recordable System Description" published by Philip Company in 1997 ( Yellow Book, third edition), its detailed technical content will not be repeated here.
上述的光学信息记录媒体,大多会遵照标准,提供关于最后可能存在的预定地址码(Last possible predetermined address code)的信息,作为该光学信息记录媒体的最大存储容量的建议值。通常对关于最后可能存在的预定地址码的信息,会预先记录在该光学信息记录媒体上的档案管理区域内。以CD-R为例,对其标准做规范的黄皮书内,详实记载了指示最后可能ATIP码的信息作为第三特殊信息(Special information 3)。但须强调的是,上述关于最后可能存在的预定地址码的信息对应该光学信息记录媒体的最大存储容量,仅仅是建议值,而非实际的最大存储容量。然而,在真实情况下,大多光学信息记录媒体在制造完成后,在可能最后存在预定地址码之外,仍存在有预定地址码。Most of the optical information recording media mentioned above will comply with the standard and provide information about the last possible predetermined address code (Last possible predetermined address code) as a suggested value of the maximum storage capacity of the optical information recording media. Usually, information about the last possible predetermined address code is pre-recorded in the file management area on the optical information recording medium. Taking CD-R as an example, in the yellow book that regulates its standard, the information indicating the last possible ATIP code is recorded in detail as the third special information (Special information 3). However, it should be emphasized that the above information about the last possible predetermined address code corresponds to the maximum storage capacity of the optical information recording medium, and is only a suggested value rather than the actual maximum storage capacity. However, in reality, most optical information recording media still have predetermined address codes in addition to the last predetermined address codes after the manufacturing is completed.
一般当使用者打算利用光学信息记录/再现装置将数据记录至光学信息记录媒体上时,光学信息记录/再现装置会先行判断和读取关于最后可能存在的预定地址码的信息,进而以该最后可能存在的预定地址码所对应的最大存储容量(仅为最大存储容量的建议值)为依据,以进行数据记录的程序。Generally, when a user intends to use an optical information recording/reproducing device to record data on an optical information recording medium, the optical information recording/reproducing device will first judge and read information about the last possible predetermined address code, and then use the last The maximum storage capacity corresponding to the possible predetermined address code (only the recommended value of the maximum storage capacity) is used as the basis for the program of data recording.
然而,在实际应用时,使用者所打算记录至光学信息记录媒体上的数据量常常会超过以最后可能存在的预定地址码所对应的最大存储容量(建议值)。以CD-R为例,依照规格所提供的最后可能存在的预定地址码所对应的最大存储容量为74分钟。但是需注意,单就CD-R而言,每多记录一分钟的数据,即相当于多记录了9.2兆位的数据。也就是说,若依循规格所提供的最后可能预定地址码,做为光学信息记录媒体的最大存储容量的话,会浪费存储容量。However, in practical applications, the amount of data that the user intends to record on the optical information recording medium often exceeds the maximum storage capacity (suggested value) corresponding to the last possible predetermined address code. Taking CD-R as an example, the maximum storage capacity corresponding to the last possible predetermined address code provided by the specification is 74 minutes. However, it should be noted that as far as CD-R is concerned, every minute of data recorded is equivalent to 9.2 megabits of data recorded. That is to say, if the last possible predetermined address code provided by the specification is used as the maximum storage capacity of the optical information recording medium, the storage capacity will be wasted.
更不幸的是,当发生上述情况,若记录数据以一次完成(Disk-at-once,DAO)模式进行,则会发生数据记录失败;若记录数据以一次一条轨道(Track-at-once,TAO)模式进行,则会发生最后一条轨道记录失败,或是浪费存储容量。Even more unfortunately, when the above situation occurs, if the recording data is carried out in a Disk-at-once (DAO) mode, data recording failure will occur; ) mode, the last track recording failure will occur, or the storage capacity will be wasted.
针对上述情况,现行若干光学信息记录/再现装置会提供给使用者忽略依照规格所建议的最大存储容量的功能,而将使用者所打算记录的数据量直接记录至光学信息记录媒体上。上述方法虽说实用、便利,但也因为光学信息记录/再现装置不知所利用的光学信息记录媒体实际的最大存储容量,因此如果所打算记录的数据量大于此光学信息记录媒体实际的最大存储容量,会导致该次记录失败。In view of the above situation, some existing optical information recording/reproducing devices provide users with the function of ignoring the maximum storage capacity recommended by the specifications, and directly record the amount of data that the user intends to record on the optical information recording medium. Although the above method is practical and convenient, it is also because the optical information recording/reproducing device does not know the actual maximum storage capacity of the optical information recording medium used, so if the amount of data to be recorded is greater than the actual maximum storage capacity of the optical information recording medium, will cause the record to fail.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
请参见图1所示,在图1中所公开的为可应用本发明的光学信息记录/再现装置1的构造与电子组件示意图。在此说明示例中,该光学信息记录/再现装置1所属的形式为可将一具备标准CD格式或是RDAT格式的信号,以光学方式记录至光学信息记录媒体116上。该光学信息记录媒体116可以为提供例如由一相位变化材料或是一染料所组成的辐射感应层的形式。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which discloses a schematic diagram of the structure and electronic components of an optical information recording/reproducing device 1 applicable to the present invention. In this illustrative example, the optical information recording/reproducing apparatus 1 is in a form capable of optically recording a signal in standard CD format or RDAT format onto the optical information recording medium 116 . The optical information recording medium 116 can be provided in the form of a radiation-sensitive layer composed of a phase change material or a dye, for example.
该光学信息记录媒体116并提供跟踪调制(Tracking modulation),做为伺服跟踪(Servo tracking),用于协助记录信息图案(Information pattern)。该跟踪调制经常以摇摆轨道(Wobble track)的形式执行,也就是在该光学信息记录媒体116上预先形成一摇摆沟槽(Wobble pregroove)为该摇摆轨道所用。在该摇摆轨道中,频率被调制成与一地址信号一致,该地址信号代表该摇摆轨道中事先标记的预定地址码,例如ATIP码等形式的地址。The optical information recording medium 116 also provides tracking modulation (Tracking modulation), as servo tracking (Servo tracking), for assisting in recording information patterns (Information pattern). The tracking modulation is often performed in the form of a wobble track, that is, a wobble pregroove is pre-formed on the optical information recording medium 116 for the wobble track. In the wobble track, the frequency is modulated to coincide with an address signal representing a predetermined address code marked in the wobble track in advance, for example an address in the form of an ATIP code or the like.
一常用形式的光学读/写头105安置在该光学信息记录媒体116的反面。该光学信息记录媒体116绕着一轴102旋转,而该读/写头105可通过一常用形式的定位装置沿着相对该记录媒体116的径向移动。如图1所示,该定位装置的实施例可以由一马达103以及一主轴104所组成。如果功能上需要,该读/写头105可以被用来记录信息图案,并且可以被用来读取信息图案。为了达到上述读/写头105所需的功能,该读/写头105包含一半导体激光器,用于产生一辐射光束107a,该辐射光束107a的强度可通过一驱动器电路107a作改变。An optical read/write head 105 of a conventional form is disposed on the reverse side of the optical information recording medium 116 . The optical information recording medium 116 rotates around an axis 102, and the read/write head 105 can move radially relative to the recording medium 116 by a conventional positioning device. As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the positioning device may be composed of a motor 103 and a spindle 104 . The read/write head 105 can be used to record information patterns and can be used to read information patterns if functionally required. In order to achieve the required functions of the read/write head 105 described above, the read/write head 105 comprises a semiconductor laser for generating a radiation beam 107a whose intensity can be varied by a driver circuit 107a.
在公知的方法中,该辐射光束107a对准该光学信息记录媒体116的伺服跟踪。该辐射光束107a会被该光学信息记录媒体116部分反射回来,被反射的辐射光束被调制成与该摇摆跟踪一致,并且如果存在一信息图案。也调制成与该信息图案一致。被反射的辐射光束被直接传送至一对辐射感应的检测器108a,该检测器108a产生一对应该辐射调制的读取信号V1。该读取信号V1包含一由该摇摆跟踪所产生的分量并且具有将近22kHz理论扫描速度的频率。In a known method, the radiation beam 107a is aimed at the servo tracking of the optical information recording medium 116 . The radiation beam 107a is partly reflected back by the optical information recording medium 116, the reflected radiation beam being modulated to coincide with the wobble tracking and if an information pattern is present. It is also modulated to match the information pattern. The reflected radiation beam is passed directly to a pair of radiation-sensitive detectors 108a, which generate a pair of radiation-modulated read signals V1. The read signal V1 contains a component resulting from the wobble tracking and has a frequency of approximately 22 kHz theoretical scanning speed.
通过一马达控制电路108来控制一马达100的马达速度,使得该读取信号V1由摇摆跟踪所产生的分量的频率大体上一在22kHz。该马达100与一旋转台101构成驱动该记录媒体116绕着轴102旋转的装置。该读取信号V1并且被加载至一检测电路109,该检测电路109从该读取信号V1由摇摆跟踪所产生的分量推导出ATIP码,并且加载ATIP码至一控制单元。在一实施例中,该控制单元包含微处理器110。并且,该读取信号V1被加载至放大电路111,该放大电路111具有高通(High pass)的特征,以便阻挡该读取信号VI中由摇摆跟踪所产生的信号分量。低频分量已经被移除后的读取信号V1随即被加载至该分析电路65,该分析电路65则指出被读取的信息图案的品质的好坏。该分析电路65之一实例将在下文中作详细描述。The motor speed of a motor 100 is controlled by a motor control circuit 108 so that the frequency of the component of the read signal V1 produced by wobble tracking is approximately 22 kHz. The motor 100 and a turntable 101 form a device for driving the recording medium 116 to rotate around the axis 102 . The read signal V1 is also loaded to a detection circuit 109 which derives the ATIP code from the component of the read signal V1 produced by wobble tracking and loads the ATIP code to a control unit. In one embodiment, the control unit includes a microprocessor 110 . Furthermore, the read signal V1 is loaded to the amplifying circuit 111, and the amplifying circuit 111 has the characteristic of high pass, so as to block the signal component generated by the wobble tracking in the read signal VI. The read signal V1 from which the low frequency components have been removed is then loaded to the analysis circuit 65, and the analysis circuit 65 indicates the quality of the read information patterns. An example of the analysis circuit 65 will be described in detail below.
在该分析电路65的输出上的分析信号Va也被加载至该微处理器110。该光学信息记录/再现装置1进一步包含常用的CIRC(Cross interleavedReed-Solomon codes)编码电路112,该打算被记录的信号Vi可通过开关115加载至该CIRC编码电路112。该开关115由该微处理器110所控制。该CIRC编码电路112被安置与一传统的EFM调制器113串联。该EFM调制器113本身具有连接至该驱动器电路107的输出。该驱动器电路107为常用的并且可控制的形式,通过该驱动器电路107,影响被记录信息图案品质的参数可以被调整。举例来说,上述的参数之一可以是在信息图案形成期间该辐射光束的强度。在上述所举的例子中,该信息图案随后被以具有固定连续时间的辐射脉冲来形成,而辐射脉冲的连续时间可以是一影响信息图案品质重要的参数。The evaluation signal Va at the output of the evaluation circuit 65 is also applied to the microprocessor 110 . The optical information recording/reproducing device 1 further includes a commonly used CIRC (Cross interleaved Reed-Solomon codes) encoding circuit 112, and the signal Vi intended to be recorded can be loaded to the CIRC encoding circuit 112 through a switch 115. The switch 115 is controlled by the microprocessor 110 . The CIRC encoding circuit 112 is arranged in series with a conventional EFM modulator 113 . The EFM modulator 113 itself has an output connected to the driver circuit 107 . The driver circuit 107 is of conventional and controllable form, by which parameters affecting the quality of the recorded information pattern can be adjusted. For example, one of the above mentioned parameters may be the intensity of the radiation beam during formation of the information pattern. In the example given above, the information pattern is then formed with radiation pulses having a fixed duration, and the duration of the radiation pulses can be an important parameter affecting the quality of the information pattern.
在以磁光方式记录的例子中,产生于被辐射光束扫描的记录媒体区域内的磁场强度可以是一重要的参数。为了达到产生一测试图案的目的,该记录装置1可以包含一测试信号产生器114,该测试信号产生器114产生例如一随机数字信号或是产生一对应数字信号值为零(数字沉静)的信号。然而,原则上须注意该数据信号也可以被用来形成测试图案。由该测试信号产生器114所产生的信号被通过该开关115加载至该CIRC编码电路112。该开关115为常用形式的开关,其依据来自该控制单元110的控制信号,或传送信号Vi去记录,或传送该测试信号产生器114的输出信号。此外,为了能检测到该读取信号V1中的高频分量,该光学信息记录/再现装置1还包含一设置在在读写头105与微处理器110之间的高频检测器120。In the case of magneto-optical recording, the strength of the magnetic field generated in the area of the recording medium scanned by the radiation beam can be an important parameter. In order to achieve the purpose of generating a test pattern, the recording device 1 may include a test signal generator 114. The test signal generator 114 generates, for example, a random digital signal or a signal corresponding to a digital signal value of zero (digital silence). . However, it has to be noted in principle that the data signal can also be used to form a test pattern. The signal generated by the test signal generator 114 is loaded to the CIRC encoding circuit 112 through the switch 115 . The switch 115 is a commonly used switch, which either transmits the signal Vi to record or transmits the output signal of the test signal generator 114 according to the control signal from the control unit 110 . In addition, in order to detect the high frequency component in the read signal V1 , the optical information recording/reproducing device 1 further includes a high frequency detector 120 disposed between the head 105 and the microprocessor 110 .
本发明根据检测该光学信息记录媒体116或类似的光学信息记录媒体等的预定地址码中的最后实际存在的预定地址码(Last physical addresscode),来确定该光学信息记录媒体116或类似的光学信息记录媒体等的最大存储容量。需强调的是,上述的光学信息记录媒体116或类似的光学信息记录媒体具有预形成沟槽,并且在该预形成沟槽上标记有多个连续的预定地址码,例如ATIP码等。以下将以该光学信息记录媒体116做为解说示例,根据详述本发明的几个优选实施例,来清楚地指出本发明的精神与特征。The present invention determines that the optical information recording medium 116 or a similar optical information The maximum storage capacity of recording media, etc. It should be emphasized that the above-mentioned optical information recording medium 116 or similar optical information recording medium has preformed grooves, and a plurality of continuous predetermined address codes, such as ATIP codes, etc. are marked on the preformed grooves. In the following, the optical information recording medium 116 will be taken as an illustration example, and the spirit and features of the present invention will be clearly pointed out according to several preferred embodiments of the present invention.
根据本发明的第一优选实施例的流程示出在图2。该第一优选实施例用于确定上述光学信息记录媒体116或类似的光学信息记录媒体等的最大存储容量。根据本发明的第一优选实施例,首先执行步骤S20,设定如初始条件等。接着执行步骤S22,沿着该光学信息记录媒体116的预形成沟槽进行连续的扫描。接着执行步骤S24,步骤S24判断是否检测到这多个预定地址码中的一个最后实际存在的预定地址码。The flow according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 . This first preferred embodiment is used to determine the maximum storage capacity of the above-mentioned optical information recording medium 116 or similar optical information recording medium or the like. According to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S20 is firstly performed to set initial conditions and the like. Then step S22 is executed, and continuous scanning is performed along the pre-formed groove of the optical information recording medium 116 . Next, step S24 is executed, and step S24 judges whether a last actually existing predetermined address code among the plurality of predetermined address codes is detected.
若步骤S24判断结果为否定,则回到步骤S22。若步骤S24判断结果为肯定,也就是该最后实际存在的预定地址码被检测到,则执行步骤S26。步骤26将所检测到的最后实际存在的预定地址码所代表的一个时间值表示为该光学信息记录媒体116的最大存储容量。If the determination result of step S24 is negative, return to step S22. If the judgment result of step S24 is affirmative, that is, the last actually existing predetermined address code is detected, then step S26 is executed. Step 26 expresses a time value represented by the last detected predetermined address code as the maximum storage capacity of the optical information recording medium 116 .
以一CD-R做为上述第一优选实施例的应用说明示例,若依照第一优选实施例对其检测到的一个最后实际存在的预定地址码所代表的时间值为86分钟的话,则将该CD-R的最大存储容量表示为86分钟。Taking a CD-R as an example of the application description of the above-mentioned first preferred embodiment, if the time value represented by a last actually existing predetermined address code detected by it according to the first preferred embodiment is 86 minutes, then the The maximum storage capacity of this CD-R is indicated as 86 minutes.
关于步骤S22中扫描的程序以及步骤S24中该最后实际存在的预定地址码检测的判断的方法,有以下几种方式。在一具体实施例中,如图3A所示,步骤S22至步骤S24先执行步骤S30a1,逐一检测这多个预定地址码。接着执行步骤S30a2,判断是否检测到这多个预定地址码中的最后实际存在的预定地址码。若步骤S30a2判断结果为肯定,即完成了步骤S22至步骤S24。若步骤S30a2判断结果为否定,则回到步骤S30a1。Regarding the scanning procedure in step S22 and the method of judging the detection of the last actually existing predetermined address code in step S24, there are several ways as follows. In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A , step S22 to step S24 first execute step S30a1 to detect the plurality of predetermined address codes one by one. Next, step S30a2 is executed to determine whether the last actually existing predetermined address code among the plurality of predetermined address codes is detected. If the judgment result of step S30a2 is affirmative, step S22 to step S24 are completed. If the judgment result of step S30a2 is negative, return to step S30a1.
上述逐一检测这多个预定地址码方式,可以确保精确地检测到最后实际存在的预定地址码,但却颇耗时间。因此,可采用另一种较节省时间的作法,如图3B所示,在另一具体实施例中,步骤S22至步骤S24先执行步骤S30b1,以一预定地址码间距为固定间隔来检测这多个预定地址码。接着执行步骤S30b2,判断是否仍能检测到预定地址码。若步骤S30b2判断结果为肯定,则会到步骤S30b1。若步骤S30b2判断结果为否定,则执行步骤S30b3,将最后被检测到的预定地址码视为该最后实际存在的预定地址码。The above method of detecting the plurality of predetermined address codes one by one can ensure accurate detection of the last actually existing predetermined address code, but it is quite time consuming. Therefore, another method that saves time can be adopted. As shown in FIG. 3B, in another specific embodiment, step S22 to step S24 first execute step S30b1, and use a predetermined address code interval as a fixed interval to detect the number of address codes. predetermined address code. Next, step S30b2 is executed to determine whether the predetermined address code can still be detected. If the determination result of step S30b2 is affirmative, it will go to step S30b1. If the judgment result of step S30b2 is negative, step S30b3 is executed, and the last detected predetermined address code is regarded as the last actually existing predetermined address code.
上述以一预定地址码间距为固定间隔来检测这多个预定地址码的方式,虽说可以缩短检测的时间,但是无法精确地检测到最后实际存在的预定地址码。因此,可综合上述两种方式,来对这多个预定地址码做检测,如图3C所示,在另一具体实施例中,步骤S22至步骤S24先执行步骤S30c1,以一预定地址码间距为固定间隔来检测这多个预定地址码。接着执行步骤S30c2,判断是否仍能检测到预定地址码。若步骤S30c2判断结果为肯定,则会到步骤S30c1。若步骤S30c2判断结果为否定,则执行步骤S30c3,以最后被检测到的预定地址码为检测起点。接着执行步骤S30c4,逐一检测这多个预定地址码所延续的预定地址码。接着执行步骤S30c5,判断是否检测到该最后实际存在的预定地址码。若步骤S30c5判断结果为肯定,即完成了步骤S22至步骤S24。若步骤S30c5判断结果为否定,则回到步骤S30c4。通过它,可以缩短检测的时间,并且可以精确地检测到最后实际存在的预定地址码。The above method of detecting the plurality of predetermined address codes with a predetermined address code interval as a fixed interval can shorten the detection time, but cannot accurately detect the last actually existing predetermined address code. Therefore, the above two methods can be combined to detect the plurality of predetermined address codes, as shown in Figure 3C, in another specific embodiment, step S22 to step S24 first execute step S30c1, with a predetermined address code interval The plurality of predetermined address codes are detected for regular intervals. Then step S30c2 is executed to determine whether the predetermined address code can still be detected. If the determination result of step S30c2 is affirmative, it will go to step S30c1. If the judgment result of step S30c2 is negative, step S30c3 is executed, and the last detected predetermined address code is used as the detection starting point. Next, step S30c4 is executed to detect the predetermined address codes extended by the plurality of predetermined address codes one by one. Next, step S30c5 is executed to determine whether the last actually existing predetermined address code is detected. If the judgment result of step S30c5 is affirmative, step S22 to step S24 are completed. If the judgment result of step S30c5 is negative, then return to step S30c4. By means of this, the detection time can be shortened, and the last actually existing predetermined address code can be detected accurately.
