Description

  The present invention relates to a recording medium, a disk recording apparatus and method, and a disk reproducing apparatus and method, and in particular, a recording medium, a disk recording apparatus and method, and a disk that can reliably reproduce the ID information of the disk. The present invention relates to a playback apparatus and method.

  With the spread of rewritable or rewritable discs, data that is originally prohibited from being copied (for example, music data protected by copyrights, content data such as video data) is illegally copied. There is a case. For example, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) is provided with a BCA (Burst Cutting Area) in order to prevent unauthorized copying between disks.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the BCA provided in the DVD will be described. The BCA 2 of the DVD 1 (DVD-ROM (Read Only Memory) or DVD-RAM (Random Access Memory)) is irradiated with pulsed laser light from a YAG (yttrium, aluminum, garnet) laser at the time of shipment from the factory. Stripes (barcodes) in which the reflective film made of aluminum or the like formed on the inside is removed in the radial direction is the innermost circumference according to the recording information such as identification information such as ID numbers and encryption keys. It is formed along the circumference. This BCA2 is formed over about 330 ° along the innermost circumference of the DVD1.

  FIG. 2 shows the data structure of data recorded in BCA2.

  The data recorded in the BCA2 has a 5-byte row as one unit, and the first one byte is a sync byte (SB) or resync (RS). BCA-Preamble is recorded in 4 bytes of the first line. BCA-Preamble is all zero data. In the BCA data field, 4 bytes in each row are used as an information area or EDC (error detection code). In the ECC (Error correction code) area, 4 bytes in each row are used as error correction codes. BCA-Postamble is recorded in the last line.

  When reproducing the data recorded in the BCA2, in the reproducing apparatus, a clock is generated by a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based on the reproduction signal of the BCA-Preamble part, and demodulated by a predetermined method based on the clock. Then, error correction is performed and data is reproduced.

  Here, the information recorded in the BCA 2 is disc-specific ID information or the like, which is related to all data in the disc (for example, determines whether or not the content recorded on the DVD 1 may be reproduced). Therefore, the recording and reproduction of data requires high reliability of information recorded in the BCA2.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and is intended to improve error correction capability for correcting errors in BCA data.

  A disc recording apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention is a disc recording apparatus for recording ID information of the disc on a disc in which a second area other than the first area for recording content data is arranged, Rotating means for rotating the disk, a register for storing a block in which 16-byte parity is added to the ID information, and recording means for multiplex writing the block on the second area of the disk.

A disk playback device for playing back the disk on which one block is added and the block is multiplexed, wherein the rotating means for rotating the disk, the playback means for playing back data on the disk, And an error check and correction unit for correcting an error in the ID information based on the 16-byte parity reproduced by the reproducing means.

A disk playback method for playing back the disk in which one block is added and the block is multiplexed and written, based on the 16-byte parity played back and played back from the disk data, A step of correcting an error in the ID information.

  In the recording medium of the third aspect of the present invention, a second area other than the first area for recording content data is arranged, and in the second area, a parity of 16 bytes is included in its own ID information. This is a recording medium in which one block is added and the block is multiplexed.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, there is configured a block in which 16-byte parity is added to ID information of a disc in which a second area other than the first area for recording content data is arranged. Are overwritten on the second area of the disc.

  In the second aspect of the present invention, a second area other than the first area for recording content data is arranged, and a 16-byte parity is added to the ID information of the disc in the second area. The data of the disk in which one block is configured and the block is multiplexed is reproduced, and the error of the ID information is corrected based on the reproduced 16-byte parity.

  In the third aspect of the present invention, in a recording medium in which a second area other than the first area for recording content data is arranged, the ID information of the recording medium is 16 bytes in the second area. Parity is added to form one block, and the block is overwritten.

  According to the present invention, for example, it is possible to improve error correction capability for correcting an error in BCA data.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the burst cutting area (BCA) 26A outside the data area 26B (in this example, inside) where content data on the inner periphery of the optical disk 26 is recorded is disc-specific. ID information is recorded. As shown in the figure, the burst cutting area 26A is formed so that one round is continuous.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a disc ID recording format recorded on the BCA 26A. As shown in the figure, one round is equally divided into n (in this example, n = 6) to form n blocks.

  Each block is further divided into m frames (m = 2 in the example of FIG. 4). Each frame is divided into k (k = 234 in this example), and ID information is recorded by k channel bits.

  The first 10 channel bits of each frame are used as a frame sync. The subsequent 224 channel bits are used as a data area.

  If the disk ID information is modulated by the PE (Phase Encode) modulation method, in the case of PE modulation, 1 bit data is converted to 2 channel bits, so the number of data bits that can be recorded in one frame is 112 bits (224 channel bits), and information bits that can be recorded in one block are 224 bits (28 bytes).

In this example, the disk ID information in the ECC format as shown in FIG. 5 is recorded in each block. In this example, 12-byte parity is added to 16-byte data, and encoding is performed by the Reed-Solomon code RS (32, 16, 13) of the Galois field GF (2 ⁸ ). The three blocks have the same ECC format. That is, 14 bytes of the 16-byte ID information ID _m are arranged as the 14-byte information bits of the first frame of each block, and the remaining ID information ID _m report is used as the 14-byte information bits of the next frame. 2 bytes and 12 bytes of parity are arranged.

  This means that the same disk ID information is written three times on the circumference of the disk. This triple writing is equivalent to constructing a product code of distance 3 in a substantially vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the PE modulation is a code indicating data bits by the positions of the mark (1) (bits indicated by black in the figure) and the space (0) (bits indicated by white in the figure). In the example of FIG. 6, “0” of the data bit is converted into a channel bit (word) of “10”, and “1” of the data bit is converted into a channel bit (word) of “01”. In PE modulation, channel bits are inverted at the center (word center) of two channel bits representing data bits. That is, in data bits, marks or spaces do not continue for 3 channel bits or more.

  Therefore, a synchronization pattern indicating a synchronization bit (frame sync) can be configured by making three or more channel bits, marks, or spaces continuous. FIG. 7 shows an example of the sync pattern of the frame sync.

  As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, two types of 6-channel bit synchronization patterns in which a mark and a space are continuous by 3 channel bits are prepared as frame sync patterns. When the channel bit of the data immediately before the frame sync is “01”, “000111” is used as the frame sync, and “01” is added as the subsequent sync pattern. On the other hand, when the channel bit of the data immediately before the frame sync is “10”, “111000” is used as the frame sync, and “10” is added as the subsequent sync pattern. Further, next to the above sync body (“00011101” or “111100010”), a channel bit of “01” or “10” is added as a sync ID, and a frame sync is configured with a total of 10 channel bits. Hereinafter, when the sync ID pattern is “0” (channel bit = “10”) (FIG. 7A), the frame sync is SA, and the sync ID pattern is “1” (channel bit = “01”) ( Let SB be the frame sync in FIG.

  The frame sync SA is used to indicate that it is the top frame of a block, and the frame sync SB is used to indicate that it is a frame other than the top of each block. Therefore, the number of frames for which the frame sync is SA is equal to the number of blocks.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the disk ID recording apparatus 11 to which the present invention is applied.

  The register 21 stores disk ID information that has been error correction encoded according to the ECC format shown in FIG. The PE modulator 22 reads the disk ID information stored in the register 21, performs PE modulation, and outputs it to the laser 23. The PE modulation unit 22 PE modulates the disk ID information read from the register 21 according to a clock (channel clock) input from a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 33, inserts a sync pattern, and BCA 26A of the optical disk 26 The data to be recorded is generated and output to the laser 23.

  The laser 23 is, for example, a YAG laser, and irradiates the optical disk 26 with a high-power laser beam via the mirror 24 and the objective lens 25. The objective lens 25 includes, for example, a cylindrical lens, and irradiates the incident laser beam to the BCA 26 of the optical disk 26. As a result, the reflective film of the optical disk 26 is changed irreversibly, and the disk ID information is recorded as a barcode.

  The spindle motor 27 rotates the optical disc 26 according to the control of the spindle servo control unit 28, and the optical disc 26 (spindle motor 27) is rotated at a predetermined angle by an FG (Frequency Generator) signal generator (not shown) provided therein. An FG signal, which is one pulse every time it rotates, is generated and output to the spindle servo control unit 28. The spindle servo control unit 28 controls the spindle motor 27 according to the control of the controller 29 so that the spindle motor 27 rotates at a predetermined rotational speed based on the FG signal input from the spindle motor 27. Further, the spindle servo control unit 28 outputs the FG signal input from the spindle motor 27 to the controller 29 and the PC (Phase Comparator) 31.

  The controller 29 controls the spindle servo control unit 28 in accordance with an operation signal input from an operation unit (not shown), drives the spindle motor 27 to rotate the optical disk 26, or receives an FG input from the spindle servo control unit 28. Based on the signal, a control signal for controlling the frequency division ratio of the frequency divider 30 is generated and output to the frequency divider 30.

  The frequency divider 30, PC 31, LPF (Low Pass Filter) 32, and VCO 33 constitute a PLL.

  The frequency divider 30 divides the clock output from the VCO 33 to a value 1 / N (frequency division ratio) set based on a control signal input from the controller 29 and outputs the result to the PC 31. The PC 31 compares the phases of the clock input from the frequency divider 30 and the FG signal input from the spindle servo control unit 28 to generate a phase difference signal and outputs it to the LPF 32. The LPF 32 removes a high frequency component from the input signal and outputs it to the VCO 33. The VCO 33 changes the phase (frequency) of the oscillation output clock based on the voltage applied to the control terminal (that is, the output from the LPF 32).

  The clock output from the VCO 33 is input to the PE modulator 22 and input to the frequency divider 30, and the phase difference between the output of the frequency divider 30 and the FG signal output from the spindle servo control unit 28 becomes constant. Thus, since the VCO 33 is controlled, the output of the VCO 33 is a signal that oscillates synchronously N times the FG signal. The PE modulation unit 22 outputs data in the format described with reference to FIG. 4 to the laser 23 according to the clock input from the VCO 33.

  A drive 34 is connected to the controller 29. A magnetic disk 41, an optical disk 42, a magneto-optical disk 43, or a semiconductor memory 44 is appropriately attached to the drive 34, and a necessary computer program, for example, is read and supplied to the controller 29.

  Next, the operation will be described. When the start of recording is instructed, the controller 29 controls the spindle servo control unit 28 to rotate the spindle motor 27 at a predetermined speed. The spindle motor 27 generates an FG signal corresponding to the rotation and supplies the FG signal to the spindle servo control unit 28. The spindle servo control unit 28 supplies this FG signal to the PC 31.

  The PC 31 compares the phases of the two input signals and supplies the phase error signal to the VCO 33 via the LPF 32. The VCO 33 generates a clock having a phase and frequency corresponding to the signal (control voltage) supplied from the LPF 32.

  The clock output from the VCO 33 is supplied to the frequency divider 30, divided by a predetermined frequency division ratio set via the controller 29, and supplied to the PC 31.

  As described above, the clock (channel clock) output from the VCO 33 is a clock corresponding to a cycle of 1 / (n × m × k) of one round of the optical disk 26 (spindle motor 27). For example, assuming that the number of FG waves per rotation of the FG signal is 36 and the value of the frequency division ratio 1 / N in the frequency dividing circuit 30 is 1/39, 1 / of the time of one rotation of the spindle motor 27 (optical disk 26). A channel clock having a period of (3 × 2 × 234) is generated.

  The PE modulator 22 performs PE modulation on the disk ID information supplied from the register 21 based on the channel clock supplied from the VCO 33, and outputs it to the laser 23. The laser 23 generates a laser beam based on the data supplied from the PE modulator 22 and irradiates the optical disk 26 through the mirror 24 and the objective lens 25. In this way, at the time of shipment from the factory, the disc ID information is recorded on the BCA 26A of the optical disc 26 in a concentric manner across a plurality of tracks.

  Depending on the output intensity required by the laser 23, the channel clock output from the VCO 33 may be multiplied by r to r / (n × m × k). In this case, the frequency division coefficient N of the frequency divider 30 is also multiplied by r.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the disk recording / reproducing apparatus 51 that records data in the data area 26B of the optical disk 26 in which the disk ID information is recorded in the BCA 26A as described above and reproduces the recorded data. It is.

  The CPU 61 controls each part of the disk recording / reproducing device 51 in order to record data in the data area 26B of the optical disk 26 or to reproduce the recorded data in accordance with an operation signal input from an operation part (not shown). It is. The CPU 61 outputs the disc ID information of the optical disc 26 held in the register 71 to the descrambling processing unit 74 or the encryption processing unit 75 at the time of data reproduction or data recording, A control signal for instructing the stop is generated and output to the servo control unit 63.

  The servo controller 63 seeks the optical pickup 64 to a predetermined position on the optical disk 26 based on the control signal input from the CPU 61, and the tracking error signal (TK) and focus supplied from the matrix amplifier (MA) 65. Based on the error signal (FS), tracking control and focus control of the optical pickup 64 are performed. The spindle motor 62 rotates the optical disk 26 at a predetermined rotation speed based on the control of the servo control unit 63.

  At the time of reproducing the disc ID information, the optical disc 26 is rotated by a CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method.

  The optical pickup 64 is held by a predetermined thread mechanism so as to be movable in the radial direction of the optical disk 26. When the data recorded on the optical disk 26 is read, the optical pickup 64 irradiates the optical disk 26 with a laser beam in accordance with a control signal input from the servo control unit 63, receives the reflected beam, and converts it into an electrical signal. The data is converted and output to the matrix amplifier 65. Further, when recording new data on the optical disk 26, the optical pickup 64 irradiates the optical disk 26 with a laser beam based on the data output from the modulation unit 77 and records the data in the data area 26 </ b> B of the optical disk 26. .

  The matrix amplifier 65 processes the signal input from the optical pickup 64 and outputs a reproduction signal of data corresponding to the disk ID information recorded in the BCA 26A to the LPF 66. Further, the matrix amplifier 65 generates a tracking error signal whose signal level changes according to the tracking error amount and a tracking error signal whose signal level changes according to the focus error amount, and outputs the tracking error signal to the servo control unit 63, The reproduction signal of the data recorded in area 26B is output to demodulator 72.

  The LPF 66 suppresses the fluctuation due to the noise of the reproduction signal by removing the high frequency component of the input signal, and outputs it to the comparator 67. The comparator 67 binarizes the input signal by comparing it with a predetermined level. The demodulator 68 samples the input signal based on the sampling clock input from the crystal oscillator 69, performs channel position correction and demodulates (here, PE demodulation), and an ECC (Error Check and Correct) unit. Output to 70. The number of sampling clocks is n × m × k × p (n, m, k are numerical values based on the disc ID recording format described with reference to FIG. 4 per rotation of the disc, and p is 2 or more. Integer). The ECC unit 70 supplies the input demodulated data (disc ID information) to the register 71 for storage.

  On the other hand, the demodulator 72 demodulates the data (content data) supplied from the matrix amplifier 65 and supplies it to the ECC unit 73. The ECC unit 73 performs error correction processing on the input demodulated data and then supplies it to the descrambling processing unit 74. The descrambling processing unit 74 decrypts the encryption of the content data supplied from the ECC unit 73 based on the disc ID information supplied from the register 71 and outputs it to a device (not shown).

  The encryption processing unit 75 encrypts the input content data based on the disc ID information supplied from the register 71 and outputs the encrypted content data to the ECC unit 76. The ECC unit 76 adds an error correction code to the input encrypted content data and then outputs it to the modulation unit 77.

  A magnetic disk 91, an optical disk 92, a magneto-optical disk 93, or a semiconductor memory 94 is mounted on the drive 81 as necessary, and the drive 81 supplies a program read from them to the CPU 61.

  Next, the operation will be described. When the optical disk 26 is loaded in the disk recording / reproducing apparatus 51, the CPU 61 controls the servo control unit 63 to rotate the spindle motor 62 at a constant angular velocity (in the CAV method). This speed is the same as the speed when the spindle motor 27 of the disk ID recording device 11 of FIG. 8 rotates the optical disk 26.

  At this time, the servo control unit 63 moves the optical pickup 64 in the radial direction of the optical disk 26 to reproduce the BCA 26A of the optical disk 26.

  The reproduction data output from the optical pickup 64 is input from the matrix amplifier 65 to the comparator 67 via the LPF 66 and binarized. The demodulator 68 samples and demodulates the binarized data input from the comparator 67 based on the sampling clock supplied from the crystal oscillator 69. Further, the demodulator 68 performs processing for correcting channel bits and words. Details of the process will be described later.

  The demodulated data output from the demodulator 68 is supplied to the ECC unit 70, subjected to error correction processing based on the error correction code, supplied to the register 71, and stored. In this way, the register 71 stores the disk ID information recorded in the BCA 26A of the optical disk 26.

  When the recording of content data is instructed, the CPU 61 controls the servo control unit 63 to rotate the optical disk 26 via the spindle motor 62 by the CLV method.

  The encryption processing unit 75 encrypts content data input from a device (not shown) based on the disk ID information stored in the register 71 and outputs the encrypted content data to the ECC unit 76. The ECC unit 76 adds an error correction code to the content data input from the encryption processing unit 75 and outputs it to the modulation unit 77. The modulation unit 77 modulates the content data input from the ECC unit 76 using the PE method or another predetermined modulation method, and outputs the result data to the optical pickup 64. The optical pickup 64 records the content data input from the modulation unit 77 in the data area 26B of the optical disc 26.

  When the reproduction of the content data recorded in this way is instructed, the CPU 61 controls the servo control unit 63 to rotate the optical disk 26 by the CLV method in the same manner as described above. The optical pickup 64 reproduces the data area 26B of the optical disc 26 and outputs the reproduction data to the matrix amplifier 65. The matrix amplifier 65 supplies this reproduction data to the demodulator 72. The demodulator 72 demodulates the input reproduction data of the content by a demodulation method corresponding to the modulation method in the modulator 77 and outputs the demodulated data to the ECC unit 73. The ECC unit 73 performs error correction processing on the demodulated data input from the demodulation unit 72 and then supplies the data to the descrambling processing unit 74. The descrambling processing unit 74 decrypts the content data (encrypted content data) input from the ECC unit 73 based on the disk ID information input from the register 71, and outputs the decrypted data to a device (not shown).

  As described above, since the content data is encrypted and recorded in the data area 26B of the optical disc 26, even if the encrypted content data is directly copied to another disc by a computer or the like, Since the disk ID information cannot be copied, the encryption cannot be released, and illegal mass copying can be substantially suppressed.

  Next, channel position correction performed in the demodulator 68 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, description will be made assuming that p = 3.

  The reproduced pit waveform output from the LPF 66 (FIG. 10A) is binarized by the comparator 67 and input to the demodulator 68 as a pit binarized signal (FIG. 10B). The demodulator 68 has counters 1 to 3 (not shown) therein. The counter 1 (FIG. 10C) counts the number of clocks (that is, 0 to p-1) in the channel bits. Counter 2 (FIG. 10D) counts 2 channel bits in PE modulation. The counter 3 (FIG. 10E) counts the number of bits (word) of PE modulation.

  In PE modulation, channel position correction is performed by utilizing the fact that the bit is always inverted at the pit center (that is, the center of the word “10” or the center of “01” shown in FIG. 6). That is, at the timing A in FIG. 10, the value of the counter 3 is not changed (although it is the center of the pit), but the level of the pit binarized signal is inverted. The value is corrected to be “0”. In addition, channel position correction is performed by utilizing the fact that channel bits are inverted even between data bits (between words) when the same data bits are continuous. That is, in FIG. 10, at the timing B, when the value of the counter 3 is changing (between words), the level of the pit binarized signal is inverted. The value of 2 is corrected to “0”.

  In addition, since a plurality of frame syncs are arranged at equal intervals per rotation of the optical disk 26, the frame syncs are generated endlessly at a constant period as the optical disk 26 rotates. Therefore, even when a frame sync of a certain frame is not detected, it is possible to reproduce without missing subsequent data based on the interpolation timing of the frame sync detected before that.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the frame sync (“00011101XX” or “1111000010XX”) (FIG. 7) is detected, the values of the counters 1 to 3 are all initialized to “0”.

  The ECC unit 70 receives the demodulated data (that is, the disk ID information including the triple-written parity described with reference to FIG. 4) and performs error correction processing. Error correction is performed on each triple-written disc ID information. Here, for example, when the error correction result of the third block is different from the error correction results of the other two blocks (first and second blocks), the first block and the second The block error correction result is used as disk ID information. The ECC unit 70 outputs the error-corrected disk ID information to the register 71 for storage.

  The ECC unit 70 can also determine the correct word of each block by majority decision and perform error correction processing on the code generated by collecting the correct word.

  For example, for the first word, if the first block and the second block match and the third block is different, the first word is the correct word of the first block (or second block) Is done. For the second word, if the second block and the third block match and the first block is different, the second word is the word of the second block (or the third block) is correct . Similarly, based on the principle of majority voting, correct words can be collected, one disk ID information can be reconstructed, and error correction processing can be performed on it.

  Further, as described above, when reproducing the disk ID, it is assumed that the reproducing operation is performed without applying the tracking servo. Therefore, when the reproducing operation is repeatedly performed over a plurality of rotations of the optical disk 26, it is delicately performed. It is conceivable that different reproduction results (reproduction data) can be obtained due to deviation of the radial position or the like. Therefore, the reproduction operation or the correction operation can be performed over a plurality of rotations.

  Next, as a second embodiment, a case will be described in which the disk ID information is modulated and recorded using 4-1 modulation.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the disc ID recording format in this case.

  Again, as in the first embodiment, one round of the BCA 26A of the optical disc 26 is divided into three equal parts to form three blocks, and each block starts with the sync block SA or SB, respectively. It consists of two frames. The frame sync of each frame is 14 channel bits, and the information bits are 112 data bits. Since 112-bit data is converted into 392 channel bits by 4-1 modulation, the number of channel bits in one frame is 406 (that is, n = 3, m = 2, and k = 406). In one block, 224 bits, that is, 28 bytes of disk ID information can be recorded.

  As shown in FIG. 13, 4-1 modulation is a modulation method in which 2 data bits are modulated into 7 channel bits. The first 3 channel bits are a synchronization pattern indicated by “010”. The subsequent 4 channel bits are the data portion, and data is indicated by the position of “1” in the 4 channel bits. When the two data bits before modulation are “00”, the data portion is “1000”, and when the two data bits are “01”, the data portion is “0100” and the two data bits are “0”. When it is “10”, the data part is “0010”, and when the two data bits are “11”, the data part is “0001”. One word is formed by 7 channel bits including the synchronization pattern and the data portion.

  The PE modulation used in the first embodiment is a modulation method in which a logical “0” and a logical “1” appear in equal numbers. Therefore, in this case, almost half of the reflective film is removed in the BCA 26A. On the other hand, in 4-1 modulation, the ratio of logic “0” to logic “1” is 5: 2, and therefore the amount of reflected light is larger than when disk ID information is recorded by PE modulation. . Therefore, for example, there is an advantage that servo control such as focus control at the time of data reading can be easily performed.

In this example as well, the ECC format of the disk ID information is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 5, and is encoded by the RS (32, 16, 13) code of GF (2 ⁸ ), and 12 bytes. Are added to form one block, and the same block is written three times on the circumference of the disk.

  FIG. 14 shows a sync pattern of the frame sync in the second embodiment.

  In the 4-1 modulation, the position of the logic “1” of the synchronization pattern of 3 channel bits is fixed. Accordingly, when attention is paid to the logic “1” of every other synchronization pattern, the interval is always “7”.

  Therefore, a sync pattern can be generated by breaking the regularity of intervals at which every other logic “1” occurs. A sync pattern “010000100100100” shown in FIG. 14A in which the interval at which every other logic “1” occurs is “8, 5, 6” is defined as the first sync pattern SA. Then, the sync pattern “01000101001000” shown in FIG. 14B where the interval at which every other logic “1” occurs is “6, 5, 8” is set as the second sync pattern SB. The That is, in the second embodiment, a 14-channel bit frame sync is inserted into the disc ID recording format.

  FIG. 15 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a disk ID recording device 11 that records a disk ID according to the second embodiment. Note that portions corresponding to those of the disk ID recording apparatus 11 described with reference to FIG. 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate (the same applies hereinafter). That is, the disc ID recording device 11 has the same configuration as the disc ID recording device 11 of FIG. 8 except that a 4-1 modulation unit 111 is provided instead of the PE modulation unit 22 of FIG. Therefore, the operation also differs only in the modulation method.

  15, when the disk ID recording format described with reference to FIG. 12 is recorded on one turn of the BCA 26A of the optical disk 26, one rotation of the optical disk 26 and n × m × of FIG. A PLL may be applied so that k is synchronized. For example, when the wave number of the FG signal output from the spindle motor 27 is 42, if the frequency division coefficient N of the frequency divider 30 is 58, the period of the channel clock output from the VCO 33 is 1 / one rotation. It is equal to (3 × 2 × 406).

  The configuration of the disk recording / reproducing apparatus 51 for recording data in the data area 26B of the optical disk 26 in which the disk ID information is recorded by the disk ID recording apparatus 11 by the 4-1 modulation method, and reproducing the recorded data is basically Therefore, this is similar to the case shown in FIG. However, the processing in the demodulator 68 is different.

  With reference to FIG. 16, the channel position correction performed by the demodulator 68 will be described. Here, as in the first embodiment, it is assumed that p = 3.

  The reproduced pit waveform output from the LPF 66 (FIG. 16A) is binarized by the comparator 67 and input to the demodulator 68 as a pit binarized signal (FIG. 16B). The demodulator 68 delays the input pit binarized signal by a fixed time, and a pit center signal that rises at the very center of the period when the pit binarized signal is logic “1” (FIG. 16D). ) Is generated. The demodulator 68 also includes a counter 1 to a counter 3 and a synchronization pattern detection window (that is, a window for reading a binarized signal of a reproduction pit when the value of the counter 2 is “0” to “2”). A window generator for generating (FIG. 16C) is included therein. Counter 1 (FIG. 16E) counts the number of clocks (that is, 0 to p−1) in the channel bits. Counter 2 (FIG. 16F) counts 7 channel bits in 4-1 modulation. Counter 3 (FIG. 16G) counts the number of words of 4-1 modulation.

  When the pit center (FIG. 16D) is detected, the channel position correction is performed so that the value of the counter 1 becomes “1”. For example, at the timing C in FIG. 16, the value of the counter 1 is corrected to “1” in accordance with the detection timing of the pit center. Further, the word position correction is performed so that the pit center (FIG. 16D) of the synchronization pattern is at the center of the window (FIG. 16C). For example, at timing D, the values of counter 1 and counter 2 are corrected to “1”.

  Since a plurality of frame syncs are arranged at equal intervals per rotation of the optical disk 26, even when a frame sync of a certain frame is not detected, the frame sync is detected based on the previously detected frame sync interpolation timing. In addition, the following data can be reproduced without being lost.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17, when the frame sync (“010000100100100” or “010000101001000”) described with reference to FIG. 14 is detected, the values of the counters 1 to 3 are initialized to “0”. .

Next, as a third embodiment, the ECC format of the disk ID information recorded in the register 21 is represented by the RS (32, 16, 17) code of GF (2 ⁸ ) as shown in FIG. A case will be described in which one block is formed by encoding, 16-byte parity is added, the same block is subjected to 4-1 modulation, and triple writing is performed on one circumference of the disk.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 19, in the sync pattern of the frame sync, one word is added as a sync ID (sync ID) to each of the sync patterns SA and SB described with reference to FIG. It is a channel bit. That is, since each of the sync patterns SA and SB can represent four types of sync patterns by the sync ID, a total of eight sync patterns can be configured.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, one block can be divided into 8 frames.

  In this example, n = 3 and m = 8. Further, 32-bit data is arranged in one frame. Since this data is converted into 112 channel bits by 4-1 modulation, the value of k is 133 channel bits (= 21 + 112).

  The optical disk 26 is, for example, a CD (Compact Disk), an MD (Mini-Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), or the like.

  The series of processes described above can also be executed by software. The software is a computer in which the program constituting the software is incorporated in dedicated hardware, or various functions can be executed by installing various programs, for example, a general-purpose personal computer For example, it is installed from a recording medium.

  As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9, or FIG. 15, this recording medium is distributed to provide a program to the user separately from the computer, and the magnetic disks 41 and 91 (floppy ( (Including registered trademark) disks), optical disks 42 and 92 (including CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory), DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)), magneto-optical disks 43 and 93 (MD (Mini-Disk)) ) Or a package medium composed of semiconductor memories 44, 94, and the like.

  Conventionally, when reproducing data recorded in the BCA, for example, if the PLL is removed due to some defect or the like, the data cannot be reproduced for a period until the PLL is applied again. That is, the reproduction data in the period when the PLL is disconnected is lost.

  Further, once a synchronization signal (sync) is lost due to the influence of defects or the like, there is a possibility that data until the next synchronization signal is found may be lost.

  When the size of the missing data has finished the error correction capability (that is, when there is a local large defect), the data cannot be reproduced. The information recorded in the BCA2 is disc-specific ID information or the like, and may be involved in all data in the disc (for example, whether or not the content recorded on the DVD1 may be reproduced). Therefore, high reliability is required for data recording and reproduction. In order to reduce missing data, a method of frequently inserting a synchronization signal for resynchronization is conceivable. However, by doing so, the data capacity of data that can be recorded in the BCA is reduced by inserting a redundant synchronization signal. It will decrease.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and makes it possible to reliably reproduce BCA data.

  That is, for example, according to the disk format of the present invention, one block of the second area is equally divided into n blocks, and each block is equally divided into m frames. Since the ID information is arranged in the frame at equal intervals in the circumferential direction and the synchronization signal is arranged in each frame, the ID information can be easily and reliably used without using a PLL. Can be realized.

  Also, according to the disk recording apparatus and method of the present invention, the second area of the disk is divided into n equal parts in the circumferential direction to generate n blocks, and each block is divided into m parts in the circumferential direction to m pieces. , Generate a channel clock by dividing one frame into k equal parts, control the rotation of the disk so that one rotation of the disk is synchronized with the period of n × m × k channel clocks, and Since the ID information is modulated based on the clock and recorded on the disk, a disk capable of reproducing the ID information easily and reliably without using a PLL can be realized.

  Furthermore, according to the disk reproducing apparatus and method of the present invention, the reproduction signal from the disk is sampled with a clock having a frequency of at least twice n × m × k, and demodulated while correcting channel bits or words. Therefore, the ID information can be easily and reliably reproduced without using the PLL.

  In any case, when a plurality of blocks are used and ID information is overwritten, a product code can be equivalently configured, and high correction capability can be realized.

  Since one round is physically substantially uniform, the influence on the focus servo and the like can be reduced, and deterioration of the disk can be suppressed.

  Even if a defect occurs in the disc, channel bits or words can be corrected, and high reliability can be realized when reproducing ID information. Further, the redundant amount of the synchronization signal may be small.
