Patent ID: 7349296

Claim:
A method for controlling writing of data on a data carrier device, at least including the steps of: writing data on said data carrier device with a data writer device; determining a tracking error signal corresponding to a position of said data writer device with respect to a track on said data carrier device; determining a writer displacement signal corresponding to a current position of said data writer device with respect to an initial position of said data writer device; continuously comparing said tracking error signal to a predetermined tracking error value and if said tracking error signal exceeds said predetermined tracking error value: switching said data writer device to a non-writing state; and if said writer device is in said non-writing state and said tracking error signal is below said predetermined tracking error value: switching said data writer device to a writing state only if said writer displacement signal is below a first predetermined displacement value; and switching or keeping said data writer device in said non-writing state, if said writer displacement signal is above a second predetermined displacement value.
