摘要:
In an optical disk library device using a plurality of optical disk devices, before optical disk devices execute recording or reproduction of information to or from optical disks, self-monitoring information is acquired from an optical disk monitor, use preferential orders of the optical disk devices are evaluated on the basis of use frequency information or deterioration information included in the self-monitoring information and an optical disk device to be used for recording or reproduction of information is selected on the basis of the use preferential orders.

Provided is a technology in which a controller for controlling read/write performed to/from an optical disc includes a processor for controlling an interface, a temporary memory unit, a rotation control unit, and an optical control unit. The controller causes the processor to shift to a hibernate state when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and causes the processor to recover from the hibernate state into an active state when the interface receives a first command. The processor receives the first command from the interface, instructs the rotation control unit to drive the optical disc at a predetermined target rotational speed, instructs the optical control unit to perform a processing specified by the first command, transmits a completion notification of the first command to the interface with a delay, receives a second command after transmitting the completion notification of the first command, and executes the processing of the second command.

In an information recording/reproducing apparatus 500, enabling to record/reproduce information onto/from an optical disk medium 301 by means of an optical head 508 and execute commands including Write/Read command from a host computer 200 through an interface controller 502, a buffer memory 503 is provided as a cache for storing therein data to be written/readout, temporarily, wherein determination is made on whether function corresponding to the command is in delay or not, when receiving the write/read command from said upper apparatus, and as a result thereof, when the function is determined to be in delay, data transmission speed from the cache is lowered, thereby preventing the apparatus from falling within the time-out of OS, due to delay in Write/Read operation in the drive side, accompanying with comeback from a sleeping condition, etc.
摘要:
A method for recording information and information recording/reproducing apparatus wherein information of a plurality of sectors is recorded as one recording unit into an optical information recording medium, a recording area of which is constructed with a plurality of zones, each being different in a sector number per one round of track. Information is recorded per one recording unit into the optical information recording medium and a verify control is conducted after the recording of information, wherein a number of recording units for conducting the verify control for each of the zones is changed upon basis of a number of sectors per one round of track and a number of sectors for turning back by the one round of track.
摘要:
In an optical disc device employing a CLV method, executing pickup return processing when focus drop occurs during recording poses problems of increased waiting time for rotation and increased focus servo recovery processing time. When defocusing occurs and focus pull-in cannot be achieved by retry, a first rotation frequency at a radial position thereof is calculated. Next, a second rotation frequency at the innermost circumferential position at the current speed is calculated. Next, a third rotation frequency at a radial position where recording is restarted after focus servo recovery is calculated. Next, a fourth rotation frequency at pickup return position at a different speed is calculated. Next, based on the relationship among the first to fourth rotation frequencies described above, a rotation speed at pickup return is selected so that a rotation frequency difference becomes the smallest in all conditions: at pickup return from defocusing, servo recovery after pickup return, and access operation after the servo recovery.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for recording information which presume a recording state from reflected light during recording to achieve a stable recording quality. When recording information on an optical disk by irradiating laser light with a specified record power (Pw) to form a train of record pits, the recording is performed while forcing a value (CF) of B/Pw2 to be kept substantially constant, where B is the value obtainable by sample-hold of a reflection light amount upon irradiation of the laser light with the specified record power (Pw). Performing the recording in this way makes it possible to realize the recording quality with increased stability. In addition, upon alteration of a tilt angle, arithmetic processing is redone to thereby achieve the stability-enhanced recording quality.
