Description

  The present invention relates to an information recording processing device, an information reproduction processing device, an information recording medium, a method, and a computer program. More specifically, for example, additional data, for example, key information, content reproduction control information, copy control information, etc., applied to the content decryption process is recorded on an information recording medium for recording content such as image data and music data. In the configuration that enables reading, by setting additional data based on the correspondence between the bit value of specific user control data (UCD) included in the recording data and the DC control bits set in the recording data, The present invention relates to an information recording processing apparatus, an information reproduction processing apparatus, an information recording medium and method, and a computer program that realize an additional data embedding configuration with high analysis difficulty.

  When data such as music data and image data is recorded as digital data on a recording medium, a recording process according to a predetermined recording format is performed. For example, an error detection / correction code is added to the original data to be recorded, and it is recorded after being converted (coded) into a format corresponding to a specific data recording / reproducing process.

  In recent years, a system for recording and reproducing information using a blue laser as an information recording medium capable of recording high-density information has been developed. In the information recording process using the blue laser, a modulation process for basically modulating 2-bit data into 3-bit data is performed.

  By the way, as contents to be stored in such an information recording medium, there are, for example, movies and music data. Many contents, such as music data and image data, generally have distribution rights or the like held by the creator or seller. Therefore, when distributing these contents, it is common to adopt a configuration that restricts the use of the contents, that is, permits the use of the contents only to authorized users and prevents unauthorized copying or the like. It is the target.

  A large-capacity recording medium such as a recording medium using a blue laser recording system capable of high-capacity recording can record data for one to several movies, for example, on one medium. As content can easily be recorded as digital information, the problem of flooding of illegal copies often occurs, and the problem of obstructing the interests of copyright holders and distributors of content becomes large. ing. Under such circumstances, how to prevent illegal copying and protect the interests of copyright holders and distribution rights holders is an important issue.

  In order to prevent such unauthorized use of content, the content stored in the information recording medium is recorded as encrypted content, and encryption key information to be applied as the encryption key of the encrypted content or a part of the data is configured Information, or encryption key generation information such as data necessary for generating an encryption key (for example, seed) or various control information such as content reproduction control and copy control is stored as secret information in an information recording medium. A configuration is proposed. A configuration in which a playback processing program executed in a playback device of a user reads secret information such as a key corresponding to the content to be played, decrypts the content according to the read secret information, and executes use of the content according to the playback control information It is.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which special data is embedded by applying a connection bit (margin bit) of EFM modulation data as a prior art that discloses a secret information embedding processing configuration. Patent Document 2 discloses a configuration in which a plurality of conversion tables are applied to the modulation process, and data related to the conversion table applied to the modulation is extracted during reproduction, and additional data is acquired based on the extracted data. Disclosure.

However, if information such as where the encryption key or control information is stored in the information recording medium is acquired by the user or an unauthorized content user, additional data can be leaked or altered. There is a problem of end. For example, problems such as falsification of reproduction control information and copy control information, or leakage of key information occur. If the encryption key is leaked or the control information is tampered with, the usage form of the content based on the legitimate content usage right will be lost, and the copyright and usage right of the content will not be adequately protected. is there.

The information recording processing apparatus described here includes a mastering apparatus as a master manufacturing apparatus called a so-called master disk, and further includes an information recording medium drive such as a DVD recording / reproducing apparatus or a PC that can be used by general users. Including the device. That is, it includes not only a master disk but also an information processing apparatus capable of writing data to various information recording media that are writable (recordable) and rewritable (rewritable).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information recording processing apparatus includes an information recording medium 101 capable of recording data, a pickup 102 that outputs a data recording signal to the information recording medium 101, a spindle motor 103 that drives the information recording medium 101, and a pickup 102. And a servo circuit 104 for controlling the spindle motor 103, an additional data error correction encoding unit 105, an error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 106 for main data, an additional data recording area control unit 107, a switch 108, and a modulation data generation unit 109. , DC control bit setting unit 110, recording signal processing circuit 111, user control data (UCD: User Control Data) compatible error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 112, ECC cluster generation unit 113, DC control bit selection unit 11 Has a main data encryption circuit 116.

  Recording data to be recorded on the information recording medium 101 includes main data composed of actual data of reproduction target data such as content, user control data (UCD) including various control data such as reproduction control information, and additional data such as Additional data such as key information, content reproduction control information, and copy control information applied to the content decryption process. The additional data is set as data that can be acquired based on the correspondence between the bit value of specific user control data (UCD) and the DC control bits set in the recording data.

  The DC control bit selection unit 114 performs a process of selecting a bit value of the DC control bits set in the recording frame for storing additional data correspondence determination DC control bits. Specifically, according to the additional data configuration bit [0] or [1], the DC control bit set in the recording frame storing the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit is set to the bit value of the specific user control data (UCD). DC bit selection processing is performed to determine whether to set as a bit value that matches (8 bits) or as a DC control bit that does not match. Details of these processes will be described later.

  The content data to be recorded on the information recording medium 101 is, for example, encrypted content data, and the main data is encrypted by the main data encryption circuit 116 with an encryption key. The main data encryption circuit 116 receives, for example, a 64-bit DES encryption key, a 128-bit AES encryption key, or a part of the configuration information, or a seed as encryption key generation information, and generates it based on the input information. Applying the encryption key, block encryption processing such as DES algorithm or AES algorithm is performed on main data such as content data to generate encrypted main data.

  The encrypted main data is input to the main data corresponding error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 106. The main data corresponding error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 106 generates an error correction code for the input data, performs encoding processing, and further performs interleaving processing. Details of these processes will be described later.

  The user control data (UCD) including various control data such as reproduction control information is also subjected to the UCD compatible error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 112 so that an error correction code is generated and encoded, and the interleaving process is performed.

  The ECC cluster generation unit 113 generates an ECC cluster based on the interleaved main data and user control data, and the modulation data generation unit 109 inputs the ECC cluster and executes the modulation process. The modulation data generation unit 109 performs modulation based on an RLL (1, 7) modulation scheme based on modulation of 2-bit data into 3-bit data.

  The modulation based on the RLL (1, 7) modulation method is a run length restriction of RLL (1, 7) in which the number of consecutive [0] is a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 7 in the bit after modulation. This is a data conversion method for making modulation data according to the above. In this conversion process, a conversion table is used. A specific use example of the conversion table will be described later.

  Based on the modulation data based on the RLL (1, 7) modulation method, a recording unit called a recording frame in which a synchronization signal is set is generated and recorded on the information recording medium 101 via the recording signal processing circuit 111. Is done.

  In the modulation process, the DC control bit setting unit 110 sets the DC control bit (Digital Sum Variation) so that the absolute value of DSV (Digital Sum Variation) at the time of modulation is reduced at certain intervals of the input main data. After selecting and inserting “0” or “1” of DC-Control bit), modulation processing is performed.

  Digital sum variation (DSV) is an index of DC balance of an NRZI conversion signal generated as a recording signal for an information recording medium. Specifically, the bit [0] of the recording bit sequence (NRZI conversion signal) is set to “−1”, the bit [1] is set to “+1”, and the accumulated value is set as DSV, and the deviation from 0 of DSV is further reduced. In other words, after selecting and inserting “0” or “1” of a DC control bit (DC-Control bit), modulation processing is performed. Details of the NRZI conversion process will be described later.

  However, in the present invention, in the setting of the DC control bit, the DC control bit setting according to the above rule is not set for a specific selected recording frame, that is, a DC control bit storage frame for determining additional data correspondence. The bit value selected by the DC control bit selection unit 114 is set as the DC control bit. That is, according to the additional data configuration bit [0] or [1], a DC control bit having a bit string that matches the bit value (8 bits) of specific user control data (UCD) is set or a bit string that does not match The DC bit is set to determine whether to set a DC control bit having. The DC control bit information is output from the DC control bit selection unit 114 to the modulation data generation unit 109 via the switch 108 controlled by the additional data recording area control unit 107. Details of the DC control bit setting process based on the additional data will be described later.

  Details of the ECC cluster setting process and the modulation data generation process based on the main data and the user control data will be described with reference to FIGS. These processes are performed by the error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 106 corresponding to the main data in FIG. 1, the error correction encoding & interleaving processing unit 112 corresponding to the user control data (UCD), the ECC cluster generation unit 113, the modulation data. This process is executed by the generation unit 109.

  The recording data includes user data 201 as main data and user control data (UCD: User Control data) 211 as shown in FIG. User data 201 corresponds to main data including entity data of reproduction target data such as content. User control data (UCD) 211 is data including various control data such as reproduction control information.

  User data 201 is set in units of 32 frames of 2048 byte data and 4 byte parity. User control data (UCD) 211 is composed of 32 units of 18-byte data.

  Based on the user data 201 of 32 frames × (2048 + 4) bytes, a data block 202 is formed. The data block 202 has an arrangement of 304 columns × 216 rows. One column (column) × one row (row) stores 1 byte (8 bit) data.

  An LDC block 203 is generated as a data block in which a parity of 32 rows (row) is added to each column for the data block 202, and an LDC cluster 204 of 152 columns × 496 rows is generated by interleaving for the LDC block 203. Is done.

  On the other hand, the user control data (UCD) 211 is combined with the physical address data 221 of 16 × 9 bytes to generate an access block 212 of 24 columns × 30 rows, and then the access block 212 is assigned to each column. A BIS block 213 is generated as a data block to which a parity of 32 rows (row) is added, and a BIS cluster 214 of 3 columns × 496 rows is generated by interleaving processing for the BIS block 213.

  3D is generated based on the same data as FIG. 2D, that is, based on the LDC cluster 204 of 152 columns × 496 rows generated based on the user data 201 and the user control data (UCD) 211. A BIS cluster 214 of 3 columns × 496 rows is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 3D, the LDC cluster 204 of 152 columns × 496 rows is divided into four parts (I to IV) in units of 38 columns, and a BIS cluster of 3 columns × 496 rows. 214 is divided into three parts (i to iii) in one column (column) unit, and these parts are alternately combined to form an ECC cluster 231 of 155 columns × 496 rows shown in FIG. Generated.

  Further, the ECC cluster 231 is set as a cluster 232 divided into 28 parts of 0 to 27 as shown in FIG. Only part 0 is 25 bits, and other parts 1 to 27 are 45 bits. Note that the number of bits shown in FIG. 3F is the number of bits per row.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (g), 20 synchronization (Sync) bits are set, and 1-bit DC control bit (DC-control bit) is set between each of parts 0 to 27 in FIG. 3 (f). ) Is set.

  As a result, a physical cluster 233 of [1240 + 20 (Sync) + (1DC control × 28) = 1288] × 496 rows (row) is set. Each row of the physical cluster 233 is a recording frame 234 as a modulation data generation processing unit.

  The DC control bit is an index of DC balance of the NRZI conversion signal generated as a recording signal for the information recording medium. Specifically, the bit [0] of the recording bit sequence (NRZI conversion signal) is set to “−1”, the bit [1] is set to “+1”, and the accumulated value is set as DSV, and the deviation from 0 of DSV is further reduced. In other words, “0” or “1” of a DC control bit (DC-Control bit) is selected and inserted.

  However, as described above, in the present invention, in the setting of the DC control bit, the DC data in accordance with the above rule is applied to a specific selected recording frame, that is, a DC control bit storage frame for determining additional data correspondence. Instead of setting the control bit, the bit value selected by the DC control bit selection unit 114 is set as the DC control bit. That is, according to the additional data configuration bit [0] or [1], a DC control bit having a bit string that matches the bit value (8 bits) of specific user control data (UCD) is set or a bit string that does not match The DC bit is set to determine whether to set a DC control bit having. Details of this processing will be described later.

  A modulation process for converting 2-bit data into 3-bit data is performed on the frame in which the DC control bit is set, that is, the recording frame 234 including 1288-bit data shown in FIG. In this data conversion, RLL (1, 7) data conversion is performed to obtain modulated data in accordance with a run length restriction in which the number of consecutive [0] ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 7. A recording frame 235 is generated.

  The modulated recording frame 235 has a total of 1932 channel bits, which is 30 channel bits as modulated data bits (Sync) channel bits and (1288-20 sync bits) × 2/3 = 1902 channel bits.

  A conversion table is used for data modulation processing from 2 bits to 3 bits according to the run length rule of RLL (1, 7). An example of a specific conversion table is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the conversion table is configured as a table in which modulation data bits corresponding to each input bit are associated. For example, when the input data is [00000000], the modulation data bit is [010100100100]. When the input data is [11], it is [000] if the preceding modulation data bit is [xx1], and [101] if the preceding modulation data bit is [xx0].

  By performing data conversion from 2 bits to 3 bits according to this table, modulated data bits according to the RLL (1, 7) run length rule are generated.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the description of the configuration and processing of the information recording processing apparatus of the present invention will be continued. In the modulation data generation unit 109 in FIG. 1, the modulation data generation processing described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 is executed, and a recording signal based on the generated modulation data is generated in the recording signal processing circuit 111.

  The recording signal processing circuit 111 generates an NRZI (Non Return to Zero Inverted) signal that inverts the polarity of the pulse according to the value [0] or [1] of the modulation data generated by the modulation data generation means 109. Is recorded on the information recording medium 101 as a recording signal.

  FIG. 5 shows an NRZI generation processing configuration as a recording signal executed in the recording signal processing circuit 111. Channel bits, which are modulation data bits output from the modulation data generation unit 109, are input to a recording signal processing circuit 111 including an NRZ conversion unit 121, an exclusive OR unit (XOR) 122, and a delay unit 123. 5A shows channel bits, FIG. 5B shows an output signal from the NRZ conversion means 121, and FIG. 5C shows an NRZI conversion pulse that is a recording signal as a final output of the recording signal processing circuit 111. This recording signal is output to the pickup 102 and recording information is recorded on the information recording medium 101 under the control of the servo circuit 104.

  In the configuration of the present invention, additional data, for example, key information applied to content decryption processing, content reproduction control information, copy control information, and the like are stored in specific user control data (UCD), that is, additional data correspondence determination UCD. It is set as data that can be acquired based on the correspondence between the bit value (8 bits) and the eight DC control bits contained in the recording frame storing the additional data correspondence determination DC control bits.

  For example, when the 8-bit bit value of specific user control data (UCD) and the eight DC control bit values included in the DC control bit storage recording frame for determination of additional data correspondence match, the constituent bits of the additional data are [0] means that the 8-bit bit value of the specific user control data (UCD) does not match the eight DC control bit values included in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage recording frame Is a setting that means that the configuration bit of the additional data is [1].

  The additional data recording area control unit 107 shown in FIG. 1 performs switch control to turn on the switch 108 when the modulation data generation unit 109 performs modulation of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage recording frame. The DC control bit value selected by the control bit selection unit 114 is output to the modulation data generation unit 109.

  The modulation data generation unit 109 does not use the DC control bit having the bit value determined based on the above-described DSV measurement at the DC control bit setting position corresponding to the additional data in the recording frame storing the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit. The value of the DC control bit selected by the control bit selection unit 114 is set.

  The configuration shown in FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram for explaining the configuration and processing of the information recording processing apparatus of the present invention. For example, control processing for setting DC control bits to bit settings corresponding to additional data. Can be executed by a control unit such as a CPU executing a program describing a processing sequence or the like. Therefore, in the information recording processing apparatus of the present invention, the hardware shown in FIG. 1 and other hardware corresponding to each constituent element of the constituent blocks are not essential. Recording frame generation processing can be executed on hardware composed of a control unit for executing processing according to a predetermined program, a CPU as a data processing unit, and a memory as a storage unit for data, parameters, etc. It is.

This bit string is a bit string including the error correction code set in the additional data error correction encoding unit 105 for the additional data. In the configuration of the present invention, the bit information constituting this additional data bit string is set by the above-described configuration.

  That is, by setting a DC control bit string that coincides with 8 bits of specific user control data (UCD) in a DC control bit storage recording frame for determination of correspondence to additional data, it indicates that the additional data configuration bit is [0], By setting a DC control bit string that does not match the 8 bits of the specific user control data (UCD) in the recording frame storing the DC control bit for determining additional data correspondence, it is indicated that the additional data configuration bit is [1].

In addition,
When UCD = DC control bit, additional data bit = [0]
When UCD ≠ DC control bit, additional data bit = [1]
Or set to
When UCD = DC control bit, additional data bit = [1]
When UCD ≠ DC control bit, additional data bit = [0]
An arbitrary setting is possible as to which aspect of the setting to be used.

  The additional data setting configuration in the present invention will be described below. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing details of the BIS block 213 and the BIS cluster 214 generated based on the user control data (UCD) 211 in the modulation data generation processing described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the BIS cluster includes three columns (columns) based on physical addresses of 3 rows, user control data (UCD) of 12 rows, and parity of 16 rows. ) × 31 rows (row), one unit is set. A BIS cluster 214 of 3 columns × 496 rows is configured by 16 units of units 0 to 15.

  FIG. 7 shows a detailed data storage configuration of user control data in the BIS block 213, and FIG. 8 shows a detailed data array of user control data in the BIS cluster 214.

  As shown in FIG. 7A1, the BIS block 213 includes 24 columns × 6 rows of physical addresses, 24 columns × 24 rows of user control data (UCD), and 24 columns × 32 rows of parity.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (A2), the user control data (UCD) of 24 columns × 24 rows is composed of 576 (24 × 24) pieces of UCD configuration data [UC0, 0] to 1-byte (8-bit) data. It is arranged as [UC17, 31]. Interleaving processing is performed on the BIS block 213 having such user control data (UCD) array of 24 columns × 24 rows, and a BIS cluster is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (B1), the BIS cluster 214 has a configuration of 3 columns × 496 rows, has a physical address of 3 rows (row), user control data (UCD) of 12 rows (row), 16 One unit of 3 columns (column) × 31 rows (row) is set according to the parity of the row, and a BIS cluster 214 of 3 columns × 496 rows is constituted by 16 units of units 0 to 15.

  FIG. 8B2 shows user control data (UCD) of 3 columns × 12 rows of unit 0. The user control data of unit 0 stores 36 (3 × 12) pieces of UCD configuration data [UC0, 0] to [UC4, 25] each consisting of 1 byte (8 bits) data. The 16 units of units 0 to 15 each store 36 (3 × 12) UCD configuration data, and a total of 36 × 16 = 576 UCD configuration data is stored in the BIS cluster 214.

  The UCD configuration data stored in these BIS clusters 214 is distributed and arranged in the units 0 to 15 in the BIS cluster 214 by interleaving the configuration data of the user control data of the BIS block shown in FIG. 7 (A2). It has been done.

  User control data (UCD) is set as an area where various information such as content playback control information should be stored, but a part of it is set as a reserve area, and arbitrary data can be written. This is an important area.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the BIS cluster including user control data (UCD) is an LDC cluster 204 set based on user data such as contents as described above with reference to FIGS. An ECC cluster 231 is generated by inserting one column at a time between the four divided data I to IV.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the ECC cluster 231 is set as a cluster in which a BIS cluster of 3 columns (column) × 496 rows (row) is combined with an LDC cluster of 152 columns (column) × 496 rows (row).

  In the BIS cluster, as described with reference to FIG. 6 and others, any one of a physical address, user control data (UCD), and parity is set in each row. Accordingly, the BIS cluster (i, ii, iii) included in each of the 496 rows of the ECC cluster 231 is data of a physical address, user control data (UCD), or parity.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, a specific row selected from 496 rows constituting the ECC cluster 231 is
(A) Additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame 311
(B) Additional data correspondence determination UCD storage frame 321
Set as.

  (A) The additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame 311 is an adjusted DC control bit having a bit value determined based on a constituent bit value of additional data such as an encryption key and an additional data correspondence determination UCD. Is a frame in which is stored. For some DC control bits set in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame 311, the DC control bit selection unit 114 shown in FIG. 1 determines the configuration bit value of additional data such as an encryption key and the additional data correspondence determination. It is determined based on the UCD for use.

  (B) The additional data correspondence determination UCD storage frame 321 is a frame in which the additional data correspondence determination UCD is stored.

  The (A) additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame 311 and the (B) additional data correspondence determination UCD storage frame 321 may be set as separate frames, but one frame is set as additional data. The correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame and the additional data correspondence determination UCD storage frame may be set.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the additional data correspondence determination UCD storage frame 321, a UCD to be applied to the additional data correspondence determination process, for example, UCD (UC0, 0) consisting of 8-bit data shown in FIG. It is stored in the user control data area (i) 322 which is the cluster setting position.

  It is assumed that the UCD (UC0, 0) composed of the 8-bit data is set as the additional data correspondence determination UCD. The additional data correspondence determination UCD: (UC0, 0) stores, for example, (00111101) as 8-bit data.

  In this case, (A) the DC control bits of the DC control bits stored in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame 311 are adjusted, and when the additional data configuration bit = [0], (UC0, 0) DC control bits that match the 8-bit data (00111101) are set, and when the additional data configuration bit = [1], the DC control that does not match the 8-bit data (00111101) of (UC0, 0) Set bit 8 bit.

  In the configuration of FIG. 1, the additional data is input to the additional data error correction encoding unit 105, and an encoding process for adding the error correction code is performed. The additional data refers to encryption key information applied as an encryption key for encrypted content, information constituting a part of the data, or data required for generating an encryption key (for example, a seed). This is data composed of various information such as generation information, secret information such as a password, various control information such as content reproduction control and copy control, and other content attribute information.

  The DC control bit selection unit 114 receives a bit string of additional data to which an error correction code is added. For example, a data string such as [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0. This bit string includes, for example, encryption key information, encryption key generation information, content reproduction control information, content copy control information, a password, and other content attribute information, and additional data error correction for the additional data. It is a bit string including an error correction code set in the encoding unit 105.

  Further, the constituent bit information of the additional data correspondence determination UCD is input to the DC control bit selection unit 114. For example, in the above-described example, it is 8-bit data (00111101) of (UC0, 0).

  The DC control bit selection unit 114 sequentially acquires the bit string of the additional data to which the error correction code is added, one bit at a time. When the additional data configuration bit = [0], the 8-bit data (UC0, 0) ( The DC control bit value is selected so as to set the DC control bit matched with 00111101), and the selected DC control bit value information is output to the modulation data generation unit 109 via the switch 108.

  The modulation data generation unit 109 executes generation and modulation processing of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame having the DC control bit value input from the DC control bit selection unit 114.

  The additional data recording area control unit 107 turns on the switch 108 at the timing of executing the modulation process corresponding to the DC control bit storage frame for determining additional data correspondence, and generates the selected bit information from the DC control bit selection unit 114 as modulated data. Control is performed to output to the unit 109.

  When a frame other than the DC control bit storage frame for determination of correspondence to additional data is generated and the modulation process is executed, the switch 108 is turned OFF, and the normal DC control bit setting process, that is, the DC control bit setting process based on the DSV measurement is performed as the DC control bit. It is executed in the setting unit 110.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame 331, 20 synchronization (Sync) bits are set, and each of the frame parts # 0 to # 27 each having a 45-bit configuration. One DC control bit (DC-control bit) is set in the frame part.

  As described above, the DC control bit storage frame 331 for determining correspondence with additional data stores a total of 28 DC control bits # 0 to # 27. Of these, 8 DC control bits are specified. Is set as a DC control bit for correspondence determination for determining a match or a mismatch with the UCD for additional data correspondence determination.

  Other DC control bits are set as DC control bits having a bit value determined based on normal bit value setting processing, that is, DSV measurement.

  A detailed configuration of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11A shows a detailed configuration of the DC control bit storage frame for determining additional data correspondence when the additional data configuration bit is [0], and FIG. 11B shows the additional data configuration bit of [1]. The detailed structure of the DC control bit storage frame for additional data correspondence determination in the case of FIG.

  In this processing example, when the additional data configuration bit is [0], the DC control bit that matches the bit value of the correspondence determination UCD is set in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame, and the additional data configuration bit is set. In the case of [1], a DC control bit that does not match the bit value of the correspondence determination UCD is set in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame.

  In (A), the additional data configuration bit is [0], and the correspondence determination UCD is 8 bits (00111101) of UC (0, 0). In this case, 8 bits (00111101) are stored in the corresponding determination DC control bit storage position of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame.

  Here, the correspondence control DC control bit storage position of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame is the frame part # 3, # 6, # 9, # 12, # 15, # 18, # 21, # 24. There are 8 frame parts. These correspondence determination DC control bit storage positions are examples, and can be set to arbitrary positions as long as they are preset positions. When a legitimate reproduction processing program is executed, a DC control bit is read from each of these bit positions to determine correspondence with the correspondence determination UCD, that is, whether or not they match, and the bit value of the additional data is To be acquired. Details of the reproduction process will be described later.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11B, the additional data configuration bit is [1], and the correspondence determination UCD is 8 bits (00111101) of UC (0, 0). In this case, the DC control bit storage position for correspondence determination of the DC control bit storage frame 352 for additional data correspondence determination is stored in the frame parts # 3, # 6, # 9, # 12, # 15, # 18, # 21, and # 24. Stores a bit string different from 8 bits (00111101). The DC control bits 8 bits may be any bit string as long as it is a bit string different from (00111101). In the example of the figure, (10010100) is the DC judgment bit storage position for correspondence judgment of the DC control bit storage frame 352 for additional data correspondence judgment, frame parts # 3, # 6, # 9, # 12, # 15, # 18, Examples stored in # 21 and # 24 are shown.

  As described above, in the configuration of the present invention, a part of the user control data (UCD) included in the data stored in the recording medium (disc) is set as the additional data correspondence determination UCD, and the additional data configuration bit is set. Depending on whether it is [0] or [1], the DC control bits set in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame are set to match the correspondence determination UCD, or they do not match. The additional data information such as encryption key information is embedded by applying a plurality of additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frames.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the correspondence determination DC control bit information (8 bits) of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame is [A] and the bit information of the correspondence determination UCD is [B], If A = B, additional data configuration bit = [0], and if A ≠ B, additional data recording / reproduction processing is executed under the setting that additional data configuration bit = [1]. Is done.

  With reference to FIG. 13, the additional data recording / storage processing configuration based on the correspondence determination between the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit and the additional data correspondence determination UCD in the recording medium (disc) will be described.

  As described above, a plurality of ECC clusters (see FIG. 3) generated by main data such as contents and user control data (UCD) such as control information are set in the recording medium (disc) 361, and each ECC cluster unit. The recording data generation process is executed, a recording frame in which the DC control bit is set is set, and a recording signal based on the recording frame is generated and recorded.

When the additional data recording process according to the configuration of the present invention is performed, for example, one additional data correspondence determination UCD is set in the ECC cluster-A371. For example, as the UCD included in the ECC cluster-A 371, 8 bits [UC0, 0] are used as the additional data correspondence determination UCD381. On the other hand, a plurality of frames included in the ECC cluster-A 371 are set as additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frames 382-1 to 38p, and the DC control bits of the p additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frames are set. Are sequentially compared with the UCD bit of the additional data correspondence determination UCD381;
In the case of correspondence (match), additional data configuration bit = 0,
When there is no correspondence (mismatch), additional data configuration bit = 1,
In the case of a disk storing N ECC clusters, p × N bits of additional data can be stored in one ECC cluster.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, a setting example is shown in which only one additional data correspondence determination UCD is set for one ECC cluster. However, a plurality of additional data correspondence determination UCDs are set to determine correspondence. The UCD that executes the process may be changed for each additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame.

  The additional data recording area control unit 107 shown in FIG. 1 identifies the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame based on preset information, and the modulation data generation unit 109 determines the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit. When the storage frame is modulated, the switch 108 is switched so that the set bit value of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit included in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame is supplied from the DC control bit selection unit 114. The modulation data generation unit 109 outputs the data.

  The DC control bit selection unit 114 inputs the bit information of the additional data correspondence determination UCD and the additional data bit. When the additional data bit = [0], the bit coincides with the bit information of the additional data correspondence determination UCD. The value is selected as a DC control bit and output to the modulation data generation unit 109. When the additional data bit = [1], the bit value that does not match the bit information of the additional data correspondence determination UCD is selected as the DC control bit. Then, the data is output to the modulation data generation unit 109.

  Based on the bit value input from the DC control bit selection unit 114, the modulation data generation unit 109 receives the input bit value at the specific additional data correspondence determination DC control bit setting position in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame. To generate a recording frame and perform modulation processing.

The additional data is encryption key information such as encryption key information to be applied as an encryption key of the encrypted content, information constituting a part of the data, or data (for example, seed) necessary for generating the encryption key. This is data composed of various information such as information, secret information such as passwords, and various control information such as content playback control and copy control. An error correction code is added to these additional data. A bit string of data, for example, a data string such as [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0.

  In step S102, one bit is taken out as a recording bit in order from a constituent bit string of the additional data, for example, [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0.

  In step S103, bit information acquisition processing of user control data (UCD) for additional data correspondence determination is performed. For example, 8-bit information of [UC0, 0].

  In step S104, it is determined whether the configuration bit of the additional data acquired in step S102 is [0] or [1].

  If the configuration bit of the additional data is [0], the process proceeds to step S105, and DC control bits to be set in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame, for example, frame parts # 3, # 6, # 9, # 12 , # 15, # 18, # 21, and # 24, the 8 bits set in the frame parts are set to the same values as the bit values of the additional data correspondence determination user control data (UCD) acquired in step S103. To do.

  If it is determined in step S104 that the configuration bit of the additional data is [1], the process proceeds to step S106, and the DC control bit to be set in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame, for example, frame part # 3, # 6 bits # 9, # 12, # 15, # 18, # 21, and # 24, the bit value of the user control data (UCD) for determining additional data correspondence acquired in step S103. Set to a value that does not match.

  Next, proceeding to step S107, modulation processing of the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame is executed.

  In step S108, it is determined whether or not the processing of the last bit of the additional data has been completed. If there is unprocessed data, the processes in and after step S102 are repeatedly executed.

  In step S108, the determination is made that there is no unprocessed data, and the processing ends, that is, recording data into which the additional data bits are inserted is generated according to the above-described processing.

  In the flow, only the processing for the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame is shown, but the DC control bit based on the DSV measurement is set in a frame other than the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame. The generated recording frame is generated and modulated. Also, the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage position in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame, that is, frame parts # 3, # 6, # 9, # 12, # 15, # 18, # 21, # The 8 bits set in the 24 frame parts are set as DC control bits with values selected in accordance with the above-described processing, but the DC control bits based on DSV measurement are used for the DC control bits of other frame parts. Is set.

  Further, the DC control bit storage position for determining additional data correspondence in the DC control bit storage frame for determining additional data correspondence is stored in frame parts # 3, # 6, # 9, # 12, # 15, # 18, # 21, # 24. An arbitrary position can be set as well as the position.

  In the embodiment, an example has been described in which all 8 bits of the user control data (UCD) for determining correspondence with additional data are set as correspondence determination bits. It is good also as a structure used as bit data for a process. In this case, the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage position in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame is also set to only four bit positions.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, depending on whether or not the bit value of the additional data correspondence determination user control data (UCD) matches the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit in the additional data correspondence determination DC control bit storage frame. The processing example for determining whether the additional data configuration bit is [0] or [1] has been described, but the bit value of the additional data correspondence determination user control data (UCD) and the additional data correspondence determination DC When the additional data correspondence determination DC control bits in the control bit storage frame match, the bit value of the additional data correspondence determination user control data (UCD) itself may be set as the additional data configuration bit value.

  In the case of this setting, the DC control bit selection unit 114 performs processing for changing the additional data correspondence determination user control data (UCD) according to the additional data. According to this configuration, 8 configuration bits of one UCD can be associated with additional data.

  Next, the configuration and playback processing sequence of an information playback processing apparatus that performs playback processing of an information recording medium that stores the above-described additional data and content (main data) such as movies and music will be described.
