Patent ID: 7433282

Claim:
A recording method for controlling a recording operation of recording a recording data on a optical storage medium so as to locate a starting position of a succeeding recording operation after a condition of interruption occurs to interrupt the recording operation, the method comprising: recording a special pattern on the optical storage medium after the condition of interruption occurs and before the recording operation is interrupted; locating the starting position, wherein a recorded data signal is obtained from the optical storage medium for searching for the special pattern after the condition of interruption is eliminated, and a detection signal is enabled with a delay of a detection delay time after the recorded data signal is detected to be similar to or the same as a portion of the special pattern; enabling a recording laser with a delay of a link delay length after the detection is enabled; and performing the succeeding recording with a delay of a laser enable time after the recording laser is enabled; wherein the step of recording the special pattern on the optical storage medium comprises a step of replacing a portion of recording data with the special pattern.
