FOREIGN PRIORITY INFORMATION This application claims the benefit of the Korean Application No. 10-2003-0045824 filed on Jul. 7, 2003, Korean Application No. 10-2003-0048747 filed on Jul. 16, 2003, Korean Application No 10-2003-0063591 filed on Sep. 15, 2003, and Korean Application No. 10-2003-0065628 filed on Sep. 22, 2003 which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a method of recording control information on a recording medium, such as recordable optical disc having at least one recording layer, and more particularly, to a method in which record velocity information and write strategy parameters are included in the disc control information. Also, this invention relates to a method of recording or reproducing data on or from the recording medium using the writing speed information.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One exemplary embodiment is directed to a method for recording control information on a recording medium. The method includes generating control information for controlling recording/reproducing data on/from the recording medium. The control information includes a first speed information indicating a maximum recording speed, a second speed information indicating a minimum recording speed, and a third speed information indicating one or more basic recording speeds. The third speed information represents whether each of the basic recording speeds are applicable to the recording medium or not. Thereafter, the method calls for recording the control information on a specific area of the recording medium.
Another exemplary embodiment relates to an apparatus for recording control information on a recording medium. The apparatus having a controller for generating control information to control recording/reproducing data on/from the recording medium. The control information includes a first speed information indicating a maximum recording speed, a second speed information indicating a minimum recording speed, and a third speed information indicating one or more basic recording speeds. The third speed information represents whether each of the basic recording speeds are applicable to the recording medium or not. A pick-up unit records the control information on a specific area of the recording medium.
Another exemplary embodiment relates to a recording medium having a data area configured to record user data. One or more management areas are configured to record control information, wherein the control information includes a first speed information indicating a maximum recording speed, a second speed information indicating a minimum recording speed, and a third speed information indicating one or more basic recording speeds. The third speed information represents whether each of the basic recording speeds are applicable to the recording medium or not.
Although the terminology used herein is well known for the most part, some terms have been chosen by the applicant, such that the present invention should be understood with the intended meanings of the terminology as used by the applicant. For example, the �disc control information� of a disc is recorded in a specified area, i.e., a recordable area of the disc or a prerecorded area (sometimes known as an embossed area manufacturer, in which manufacturer data is recorded and where no further recording is possible), and includes information necessary for the playback of a recorded disc. Disc control information is called �disc information� or �DI� in relation to Blu-ray disc technology but is typically referred to as �physical format information� for DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD+R discs. Hence, it should be apparent that the technical background of the present invention is equally applicable to physical format information.
The 2nd disc information is 2� speed disc information of the 1st recording layer and has a sequence number of �01h�. The corresponding recording velocity and write strategy are recorded in a previously promised location like the 1st disc information. The third disc information is 6� speed disc information of the 1st recording layer and has a sequence number of �02h�. The corresponding recording velocity and write strategy are recorded in a previously promised location like the 1st or 2nd disc information.
For instance, if a maximum recording velocity applicable by a disc is 6�-speed, disc information associated with 6� speed is read out. In case that the maximum recording velocity (Vmax) is 6�-speed, 2.5�-speed for a minimum recording velocity (Vmax/2.4) and 4.25� speed for an intermediate recording velocity (1.7Vmin) are recorded within the disc information as well as write strategies for the respective recording velocities. A record/playback unit previously confirms the recording velocity and write strategy (WS), which will be applied to a specific area where a recording will be performed, thereby enabling to quickly cope with the write strategy (WS) in performing the recording on the corresponding area and to reduce probability of error occurrence using the optimal recording velocity.
In a specific area within the disc information, each recording velocity information allowed by a disc is represented by a specific bit to be recorded in a previously promised specific location within the disc information. For instance, if a corresponding disc needs four different recording velocity information per recording layer, 4-bits are allocated to one recording velocity each, recording velocity information for the first recording layer (Layer 0) is recorded in Nth and (N+1)th bytes within the disc information, and recording velocity information for 2nd recording layer Layer1 is recorded in Mth and (M+1)th bytes within the disc information. If the disc has a single layer, the Mth and (M+1)th bytes are set to �zero� value. If at least four kinds of different recording velocity information are required, bytes such as Nth byte, (N+1)th byte, (N+2)th byte, and the like are additionally allocated to use.
Since the single layer is shown in FIG. 6B, Mth and (M+1)th bytes representing recording velocity information for 2nd recording layer Layer1 are set to �zero� to be handled as unused information.
For instance, if recording velocities to be represented are 1� speed, 2� speed, 4� speed, and 8� speed, respectively, 1st disc information has a sequence number corresponding to �00h� to represent a corresponding recording velocity by �0001b� indicating 1� speed, 2nd disc information has a sequence number corresponding to �01h� to represent a corresponding recording velocity by �0010b� indicating 2� speed, 3rd disc information has a sequence number corresponding to �02h� to represent a corresponding recording velocity by �0100b� indicating 4� speed, and 4th disc information has a sequence number corresponding to �03h� to represent a corresponding recording velocity by �1000b� indicating 8� speed. The 1st to 4th disc information are information for the 1st recording layer (Layer0) and are recorded in Nth and (N+1)th bytes of disc information, and 4-bits represent each recording velocity by binary information.
For instance, it is previously defined that �00h� of 5th byte information means �1� speed disc information of 1st recording layer�and that �07h� of 5th byte information means �8� speed disc information of 2nd recording layer�. Four bits are allocated to each of the Nth, (N+1)th, Mth, and (M+1)th bytes so that an accurate recording velocity value is recorded as �0001b� (1� speed) or �0100b� (8� speed). Thus, it is reconfirmed that the corresponding disc information is 1�- or 8�-speed.
In the above explanation, 1� and 2� speeds utilized by every disc almost are previously decided to be adopted. Yet, writing speeds decided by specification can be used as the rest writing speeds from 3rd writing speed. For instance, it is possible to set 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th writing speeds (3rd X, 4th X, 5th X, 6th X, 7th X, 8th X) to 5�, 6�, 8�, 12�, 14�, and 16� speeds, respectively.
For example, by knowing that four writing speeds applicable by a disc exist if the Nth byte is �0000 1111� and that two recording layers exist within the disc if the Lth byte is �0000 0010�, total eight disc information are needed so that the sequence will be �00h�07h�. And, it is previously decided that disc information of �00h�, �01h�, �02h�, �03h�, �04h�, �05h�, �06h�, and �07h� relate to �1� speed, 1st recording layer�, �2� speed, 2nd recording layer�, �2� speed, 1st recording layer�, �2� speed, 2nd recording layer�, �3rd writing speed, 1st recording layer�, �3rd writing speed, 2nd recording layer�, �4th writing speed, 1st recording layer�, and �4th writing speed, 2nd recording layer�, respectively.
Hence, in the example of FIG. 7C, total four disc information (two recording layers*two writing speeds) exist and a sequence of the disc information becomes �00h� (1�,L0)→�01h� (1�,L1)→�02h� (2�,L0)→�03h� (2�,L1). This is a specified content according to a predetermined sequence and, as mentioned in the foregoing description, can be rendered into a different sequence by a specification.
In the example in FIG. 7C, �00h� (1�,L0) and �01h� (1�,L1) relate to the application of a first type write strategy (WS-1) and �02h� (2�,L0) and �03h� (2�,L1) relate to the application of a second type write strategy (WS-2).
FIG. 7D shows another example of recording disc information according to the third embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 7A. It can be known that there are eight (1�, 2�, . . . , 16�) applicable writing speeds from Nth byte (�1111 1111b�) commonly recorded in the entire disc information and that four recording layers exist within a disc from Lth byte (�0000 0100b�). Hence, in the another example of FIG. 7D, total thirty-two disc information (four recording layers*eight writing speeds) exist and a sequence of the disc information becomes �00h� (1�,L0)→�01h� (1�,L1)→�02h� (1�,L2)→�03h� (1�,L4)→�04h� (2�,L0)→ . . . →�31h� (16�,L4).
In the another example of FIG. 7D, if a record playback unit (FIG. 8) intends to search disc information related to 2� speed (2�,L0) of a first recording layer to perform a recording by applying a write strategy (WS) within the corresponding disc information, it can be known from the information in the Nth and Lth bytes commonly recorded in the entire disc information that total thirty-two disc information (four recording layers*eight writing speeds) exist in the corresponding disc according to the sequence of the disc information such as �00h� (1�,L0)→�01h� (1�,L1)→�02h� (1�,L2)→�03h� (1�,L4)→�04h� (2�,L0)→ . . . →�31h� (16�,L4).
Hence, the record playback apparatus (FIG. 8) enables to recognize that the disc information related to the 2� speed (2�,L0) of the first recording layer to be searched is �04h� and that the corresponding disc information (�04h�) is recorded as the first type write strategy (WS-1_ from the write strategy (WS) type identification information (�0000 0002b�) recorded in the Mth byte within the corresponding information (�04h�), thereby reading out parameter values of the first type write strategy (WS-1) via the Pth�111th bytes to utilize in the recording.
Likewise, if intending to search disc information related to 16� speed (16�,L3) of a fourth recording layer to perform recording by applying a write strategy (WS) within the corresponding disc information, the record playback unit (FIG. 8) recognizes that the corresponding disc information is �31h� via the same process and that the write strategy type (WS) is the second type (WS-2), thereby enabling to utilize them in the recording.
