CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/821,187, filed Apr. 9, 2004, currently pending, which claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2003-23727, Korean Patent Application No. 2003-23728 and Korean Patent Application No. 2003-23729, which were filed on Apr. 15, 2003 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and Korean Patent Application No. 2004-17253, filed on Mar. 15, 2004 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An aspect of the present invention provides a recording/reproducing method, a recording/reproducing apparatus, an optical recording medium, and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for the recording/reproducing method, in which a write-once optical disc can be used according to whether defect management is adopted or not.
The life of the write-once optical medium according to the DM-on mode is shown in an upper part of FIG. 1. In the following description, terms �disc� and �recording medium� are interchangeable and are not limited to a specific type of medium. When a disc manufactured by a disc manufacturer is first used, the disc is an empty disc 1 on which no data is written. However, the empty disc 1 includes a lead-in area, a data area, and a lead-out area that are assigned during disc manufacturing. The structure of the empty disc 1 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The spare area shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are not assigned during disc manufacturing, but are assigned during disc initialization. Also, assignment of the spare area depends on whether defect management is performed on the disc 1 or not. Thus, the spare area is represented using dotted lines.
The TDMA is specially prepared to implement defect management by a drive device in the write-once recording medium. Specifically, in rewritable recording media, the DMA is only provided and the TDMA is not additionally provided. This is because the write-once recording medium cannot be overwritten as can a rewritable medium. Unlike rewritable recording media, since the write-once recording medium cannot be overwritten when the DMI is to be updated, a new area where updated information is to be written is required. Thus, a relatively large number of areas are required in proportion to the number of times the DMI is updated. However, since the DMA is not large in rewritable recording media, the TDMA is additionally provided in the write-once recording medium and the DMI is updated in the TDMA. Also, during disc finalization, finally updated TDMI in the TDMA (i.e., the TDMI as of a last recording operation) is recorded in the DMA as the DMI. By recording the DMI in the DMA provided in the write-once recording medium, compatibility with rewritable recording media can be achieved. For convenience of explanation, the DMI updated in the TDMA is referred to as �TDMI� and final TDMI recorded in the DMA is referred to as �DMI�.
FIG. 8 is a detailed data structure diagram of the SBM # i of temporary disc management information according to an aspect of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8, the SBM # i includes an SBM header and a bit map. The SBM header is an identifier indicating the SBM. The bit map is an information map that indicates recording or non-recording in a block of a physically recordable area of the disc using bit values. For example, a block where data is recorded is represented by �1� and a block where data is not recorded is represented by �0�. In this way, it is possible to know recording or non-recording in each bock.
While data is recorded in the disc of the state 5 and defect management by the drive device is performed on the disc 1, if the disc is finalized, the finalization flag is set in the TDMA to prevent the disc from being used after finalization, and finally updated TDMI in the TDMA, (i.e., TDDS # m and TDFL # m fill in the DMA and serve as final DMI) (state 6). With reference to the embodiment in FIG. 7, the finalization flag is set to �1� to indicate finalization in the TDDS and the TDDS is recorded in the TDMA to indicate the disc is finalized. Also, to prevent the TDMI from being updated in the TDMA, predetermined bits (e.g., �FFh)�, may fill in a remaining area of the TDMA where data is not recorded. As a result, the TDMA is filled in.
The life of the write-once optical medium according to the DM-off mode is shown in a lower part of FIG. 1. If it is determined that the disc 1 is to be used according to the DM-off mode, the empty disc 1 is initialized to the DM-off mode. The DMA of the disc initialized to the DM-off mode is empty and the TDMA enters a state 7 where the TDMA can be updated. The TDDS recorded as initial information in the TDMA during disc initialization includes starting location information of the user data area and ending location information of the user data area the size information of the spare area #1 and the size information of the spare area #2 are recorded as �0�. Also, the DM mode is set to the DM-off mode.
In the DM-off mode, data is recorded in the disc 1 without defect management by a drive device and the TDMA maintains a state 8 where the TDMA can be updated. When the disc 1 is finalized, the finalization flag is set in the TDMA so as to prevent the disc 1 from being used after finalization (state 9). Also, the final TDMI (i.e., recording management information) updated in the TDMA fills in the DMA and serves as final DMI (state 9). The finalized disc 1 has a state where the finalization flag indicating finalization is set in the TDDS or the SBM recorded in the TDMA, the TDDS and the SBM that are finally updated in the TDMA are recorded as DMI in the DMA, and equivalent values to �FFh� are recorded in a remaining area where the SBM can be recorded (i.e., the remaining area of the TDMA) so as to prevent data from being recorded in the remaining area of the TDMA.
In operation 15, the system controller 28 determines whether to implement a DM mode according to the intention of a user or a drive manufacturer. When the system controller 28 determines not to perform defect management according to according to the intention of a user or a drive manufacturer and selects the DM-off mode, initialization information is recorded in the disc 22 in operation 20, and the process goes to A in FIG. 12E. Since defect management is not performed in the DM-off mode and the spare area is not assigned, the size information of the spare area is recorded as �0� in the TDDS recorded in the TDMA and the DM mode is set to the DM-off mode.
Recording of the finalization information in the disc of operation 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 12D. The system controller 28 sets the finalization flag to �1� in the TDDS or the SBM in operation 101 and records specific values in the entire remaining area of the SBM that is not written to in operation 102. According to shown embodiments, the specific values may be recorded in the entire remaining area of the TDMA that is not written to. In operation 103, the finally updated TDDS and TDFL recorded in the TDMA fill in the DMA.
