A card information-storing portion is provided in a semiconductor memory card, and information relating to access performance such as access condition and access rate is held in the storing portion. Further, an access device acquires the held information from the semiconductor memory card to make it possible that the information can be used for control of a file system. This optimizes processing of the access device and the semiconductor memory card independent of differences in characteristics of semiconductor memory cards and management methods used, realizing high-rate access from the access device to a semiconductor memory card.

A recording medium stores contents and contents keys to be used for encrypting the contents, in a plurality of storage formats. The storage formats include a storage format (a first format) for delivered contents acquired through a network, and a storage format (a second format) for local contents acquired by a method other than the delivery. The intrinsic storage formats of the contents to be stored in the recording medium are determined according to the kinds of the contents. The recording medium stores not only the contents and the contents keys but also original storage format information (an import flag) (851) which is information indicating the intrinsic storage formats of the contents. With reference to the original storage format information, a reproduction device selects a reproduction method in accordance with the intrinsic storage formats of the contents.

An information recording device, which includes a nonvolatile memory whose areas are managed using an FAT file system and enhances the reliability of directory entries using a cyclic shift checksum, recalculates the cyclic shift checksum efficiently and performs seeking at a higher speed. A nonvolatile memory (25) of an information recording device 2 is managed using an FAT file system. In the memory, a plurality of directory entries are allocated to a single file. The device enhances the reliability of the directory entries using a cyclic shift checksum, and manages information indicating the position and the size of a storage area of file data using an extent information entry (203). The device further uses an update information entry (204) and a dummy entry (205).

Area management information is cached in a cache memory by controlling the access size when an information processor accesses the area management information in an information recording medium. When the processing content of the information processor is to retrieve a free area from the area management information, a physical management block size determined from the physical characteristics of the information recording medium is used. When the processing content is to acquire a link destination from the area management information, minimum access unit of the information recording medium is used. Consequently, overhead can be lessened when the area management information is accessed.

A predetermined number of erasable blocks positioned at a start of a volume area in a semiconductor memory card are provided so as to include volume management information. A user area following the volume management information includes a plurality of clusters. A data length NOM of an area from a master boot record & partition table sector to a partition boot sector is determined so that the plurality of clusters in the user area are not arranged so as to straddle erasable block boundaries. Since cluster boundaries and erasable block boundaries in the user area are aligned, there is no need to perform wasteful processing in which two erasable blocks are erased to rewrite one cluster.

A coherent optical communication device includes a demodulator configured to demodulate a reception signal; a local oscillator light optical source configured to generate local oscillator light used for demodulating the reception signal; a memory configured to store wavelength information; and a controller configured to control the local oscillator light optical source when the demodulator cannot receive the reception signal, so that a wavelength of the local oscillator light generated in the local oscillator light optical source is changed to a wavelength specified by the wavelength information stored in the memory.

摘要:
A host device is connected to a storage device via a bus and reads and writes data in the storage device. The host device includes a command transmitter that sequentially transmits a command in a command sequence, which includes a set of commands which do not change data stored in the storage device, and a response receptor that accepts a response from the storage device for each command transmission from the command transmitter and determines whether or not an error exists. An acceptable/unacceptable access determiner provided in the host device enables access to the storage device when a normal response is identified by the response receptor and otherwise determines that access to the storage device is unacceptable. The normal response is when the responses received from the storage device for the transmissions of all commands in the command sequence do not include an error.
摘要:
A host device transmits a command from a command transmission unit (101a) along a predetermined command sequence. A storage device (2) receives the command in a command reception unit (202a). An access determination unit (202c) determines the sequence of the command transmitted from the host device (1) and determines that reception of the access to the host device (1) is enabled only when the sequence is identical with a predetermined sequence. Thus, with simple control, it is possible to prevent data destruction by a host device of an old version.
