Disc control information is called "disc information" or "DI" in .relation to 'Blu-=ray disc technology but is typically referred to as !'-physical format information" for DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD+R discs. Hence, it. should be apparent that the technical background of the present invention is equally applicable to physical format information.

Moreover,. the disc. information according to the present invention is recorded as an unspecified unit of 'information, which may be counted, for example, as a first or second inf.ormation_.

FIGS.. 1 and 2 illustrate' the structure of. optical discs according to the present invention, in which any recordable optical disc may be applicable to the. present invention. The recordable disc .may be, for example, .a rewritable optical ,disc ,5 -'or awrite-once optical disc.

e`ferririg . to, FIG. I., illustrating an optical disc having one recording layer, a lead-in area. is provided as a management area, on, an inner circumference `area of an optical disc, wh:ereas''a lead=out area is provided as a management area on -an outer circumference area of the optical disc. In the inner circumference area, a pre-recorded area and a r.ewritable (or write-once) area are provided separately. In BD-RE, and BD-WO
technology, the pre-recorded area is called- the PI4. area, where..permanent information and control data is recorded, and disc information is recorded in the PIC area. A data area ii-made up of a user data area where user data is recorded and inner and outer spare areas ISA and OSA., which are used in. the replacement of the data of a defective area. In,the case of a BD=WO disc, a temporary defect management area (''DMA) is p wov'ided for recording information. of- a defect and for general' management. The TDMA is unnecessary in the case of BD RE
discs', which have a corresponding area designated .as res-erved.
The present invention intends to provide a method of recording disc info .oration (DI) as disc control information recPaired for record..playback of a disc in a.:pre-recorded or recorda?oile are.

is apparent that a recording method in.the pre-record area.
is differently applied to each kind of disc. In the. case of, aD.-RE . and BD-WO discs; the pre-recorded area is the PIC area recorded using a biphased high frequency modulated signal reproduced according to 'a spec.i.fil.c -playback method, to acquire the disc' information.

FIG. 2 illustrates an optical disc having dual recording layers, in which an inner circumference area of the disc has a lead-in -of a first recording layer (Layer 0) corresponding to a lead-out of a second recording. layer (Layer lr: In this 5 case, one PIC area is provided in each of thele.ad-in and lead-out areas, and the same disc information is recorded in.
each PIC area.

is one cluster, 544 clusters constitute one fraggment , and five fragments make. up the PIC. 'area. Disc information is .recorded in a front head cluster of.: a first fragment IFO'. The disc infOrmat'ion is plurally recorded per- recording layer and 15 recording velocity permitted by the' corresponding optical disc.
Qne disc `information.include-s 112 bytes, sometimes ref6xred. to as a DI `frame . To cope with ' a loss '.of disc information, the same contents of the- disc infortation are repeatedly recorded _n each . f ront head cluster.of the remainder of the fragments .
2.C Inforrhation representing the corresponding recording layer.;
information representing recording velocity.,- and write strategy information corresponding to' the recording velocity are included in each disc information. Such information is utilized in recording and =reproducing the optical disc, to provide an optimal condition per recording layer and per recording velocity.

The disc information of the present invention is characterized 'in.providing specific recording velocity information supported by the disc and associated write. strategy . infornat-ion, and more specifically, in providing'.specific recording velocity :0 supported for each recording layer and associated write strategy information via a specified.i.nethod for discs having a plurality of -recording layers.

TTh :specific configuration of the. disc information is for a B.la-ray disc, which may differ from the configuration of a 15. 'DVD-based also. Specifically, the recording DI volute for a Btu-ray disc is .112 bytes or equivalent. By formulating disc information of .the same recording layer as one information, i.e., without repeating any comrrroii information, = . the write strategy configurati.on'.' may differ -per recording 20 velocity. ..

FIGS. 4A-4C illustrate the recording of disc information according to a first of four embodiments of the present invention, in. which disc information is configured in a specific sequence per recording layer and recording velocity.

Referring to FIG_ 4A, each disc information sequence is determined by a sequence number and is recorded using one byte.
For instance, the information is recorded in a fifth 'byte (ii. e. , the "DI frame sequence cumber in DI block, which can be. represented. as 00h, O1h, 02h, 03h, 0412, 05h, 06h.,. or 07h) I0 of. the disc information, where a fifth byte of 0Oh or 07h indicates a first or eighth disc information, respectively.
'Moreover, recording layer information and, recording velocity information, which will be used by the corresponding- disc ihforhiaticn, are=represlented by specific bits and recorded in 1S a specific area (Nth .byte) within. the disc information. For instance, the recording layer information and the recording velocity 'information are respectively recorded 'irk the upper .and lower -four bits of the Nth byte, where a recording layer i formation of 0000b, 1000b, or 100lb as. the upper four bits 2'0 indicates a .single layer, a 'dual layer LO (first layer) or a dual layer L1 (secord layer), -espective.ly, and. a, recording i8 velocity information of 0000b, 0010b, 010Gb, 1000b, or 1111b as the lower four bits indicates a lx-speed, 2x-speed, 4x-speed, Rx-speed, or 16x-speed recording velocity, respectively.
By, allocating one byte thusly, the recording layer information and the recording velocity information can be defined according,to a system or specification enactment.

The recording layer information and the recording velocity, information_ are recorded in a reserved specific location corresponding to their sequence number; as shown in- FIG. 4A, thereby. facilitating to confirm the recording layer informationland the recording. velocity information included in the corresponding.disc irformation By recording write power or write parameters as write strategy info.rnat.ion'fitting the corresponding recording lave=-and recording velocity in detail i5: using the remainder of. the bytes within the disc information, namely, the .44-`h_111t' bytes, the recorded information enables-efficient- recording and rep oducing .of' an pptica] 'disc.

.20 FIG. 4$ exemplarily shows disc information recorded in a single layer when representing the. disc information shown iT3, FIG. 4A. When an optical disc requires four different recording velocity information, four disc information corresponding to the four recording velocities' are needed within a PIC area. In each disc information, its, sequence rubber is recorded in a fifth byte -and. corresponding.recording layer information and reco=rding velocity information are recorded in an Nth byte by allocating' four bits to eac'n, of tine corresponding recording- layer information and the corresponding recording velocity information.: For. instance, a representation of recording velocities as Ix-speed, 2x-speed, 4x-.speed, and 8x-speed corresponds: to the case of the single layer : in FIG. 4B. Hence, the upper four bits of the Nth byte is 0004b to designate the single layer and the lower four bits indicate each-- recording velocity information., Specifically, 15' . 000Db indicating lx-speed IS written in the first disc.
:zTormation., 00 0b indicating 2x-.speed is written' in the' second- disc information, 0100b indicating 4x-speed is' written in the third disc information, - and 1000b indicating .8x-speed is written in the fourth disc infozthation.

20- FIG. 4C exemplarily shows disc ;information recorded in a dual . ayes when representing the disc information shown.'ir_'FIG. 4A, in which. each disc information corresponding to recording velocity information per recording layer is configured in configuring disc information in case that at least two recording layers exist. Namely, disc information-is- mainly 5 configured per recording layer and another disc" inf.orrat.ion accordi g to recording velocity of a corresponding recording layer is'-then configured. In the aspect of a sequence of configuring, disc information, disc . information is preferentially configured on,a recording layer; anothher-d=sc Ia, information, according to a corresponding recording velocity in the. corresponding recording layer, is then confi.gt:red.
Hence; if, an optical disc includes two recording. layers. and each recording layer requires four di_fferent recording velocity information, eight disc -information are, needed to IS cope with-each recording velocity per recording layer within a PI' area.' In each of the disc information, a sequence nucn'oer.
is written in a fifth byte and re.e:ording-layer' inforrnation''and recording velocity information are. respectively written in four allocated bits of an Nth byte.

20 '.For ;instance, if the recording velocities to be represented per recording . layer are ix-speed; 2x-speed, 4x-speed; amid.. 8x-speed, first through fourth disc information are configured with disc information of a first recording layer (layer 0), the upper four bits of the N~I' -byte are .1000b to design ate the.
first recording layer, and the lower four bits of the Nth byte indicate the respective recording velocity information.
Specifically, 0000b indicating lx-speed is written in the first. disc information; 00i0b indicating 2x-speed = is written in the second disc information, 0100b indicating 4x.-speed is written in third disc informationj and 10.00b indicating 8x-10.speed is written in the fourth disc information.

vo eover,. fifth through- eighth d_i:sc, information are configured with disc information of a,=second..recording layer (layer 1) of the dual layer. The upper four bits of the Nth byte are 100th.
to 'designate the second recording layer, and the lower four bits of the Nth byte indicate the respective recording velocity information. Specifically, 0000b indicating 1x-speed w t:ten in the fifth disc info.rnation, ..0010b indicating 2x-speed . is written in the sixth. disc informat.. cr_,; 0100b indicating 4x-speed is written in the seventh disc, information, :20 and 1000b indicating 8x-speed is written' in the eighth. disc'-ormat.

In the first embodiment, disc information is separated for each recording velocity in each layer. in accordance with another embodiment, disc information is separated for each recording layer, and each recording velocity per recording layer, 'can be included in one DI. .In this case, there is one D! per recording layer and the recorded DI volume varies according to the number of supported recording velocities.
FIGS. 5A to. 5C illustrate the recording of disc information according. to a second of four. embodiments of the present !0. invention. In contrast to the first embodi.ment, the recording layer information and recording ve.loc'ity information. of the second e?rbddiment are recorded in..a fifth byte repres.e:nting. a sequence number of disc information.

Instead of simply indicating a sequence of continuous disc is . information,. a sequence number, 'within 'disc' . information -indicates that the disc information. is recorded in a 'ape.cif i c.

20 FIG5B illustrates the second embodiment applied to "a single layer, in which recording layer information and recording velocity information are recorded in the same manner as the first embodiment (FIG. 4B) but are written in the fifth byte instead of Nth.

For instance, a representation of recording velocities as ix-speed, 2x-speed, 4x-speed, and 8k-speed corresponds, to the case of the single layer in FIG. 5B. Hence, the upper four bi-t$ of the fifth byte are 0000b designating' the single layer, and the lower four bits of the fifth byte indicate each recording velocity informatSpecifically, 0000b 10. indicating ix-speed is written in the first disc innfortruation_', 0O1Ob indicating 2x-speed is written in the second disc information 0100b indicating 4x-speed is written in t:h-e third disc. informattion., and 1000b indicating 8x-speed is written in the fourth disc information.

SC il'Iustrates the- second e- bodiment appl-ied to a dual layer, in which recording layer information and: recording velocity information are recorded:in the same manner as, the first embodiment (FIG. 4B) but are written in a fifth byte inst'ead of 'the Nth. For i :stance, if the recordist velocities 2Ø to.-be .represented per recording- layer are .lx-speed, 2x-speed, x=s.peeci, and. 8x-speed, the first through fourth disc information are configured with disc information of a first recording layer (layer 0) of the dual layer. Hence, the upper four bits of the fifth byte are 1000b to designate the first recording layer, and the lower four bits of the fifth byte means indicate each recording velocity information.

FIGS. 6A to 6E illustrate the recording' of disc information according to a third of four embodiments of the present invention.

n ,he third embodiment, a plurality of disc information are 5, recorded in a disc, a record sequence of each disc information is determined by a sequence number,- and the record sequence is recorded in one byte. For instance., the corresponding information- is recorded in a fifth byte (i.e., the 'SDI frame sequence number in DI block, which. can. be represented as Ooh;

10 01h, 02h, O3h, 04h, 05h, 06h, or 07h) of the disc information.
Here, for example, a fifth byte of OOh indicates 'the 'first disc information as well as .disc information of 1X-speed of a f irrst recording layer (Layer 01, a fifth byte of 01h indicates the secohd..disc.information as well as disc information of 2x=

------ ---- - -------Write"' strategy, interoperating with recording veioci.ty meant by the corresponding- disc information, is recorded in a :specific =area, e.g., a write strategy parameters field. (the Ltn_11ith 'bytes), within the. disc information. Identification .information for identifying. the recorded write strategy -type is recorded in another specific area,. e.g., a write strategy code field (the N`1.byte), within the disc information.. If there are ; N - kinds of write strategy (WS,'., the identificat.-Jo-ft information allocates a specific recognition, value.. to. each 0 write strategy, setting, for instance, 0000 00'O1b to indicate a first write strategy (WS-1), 0000 0010b to. indicate a second Trite strategy (WS2) , and XXXX XXXXb to indicate an :N`~ write strategy (WS~N) A WS type. of 0000 0000b can be set to indicate that no . specific WS. type exists as well as 'WS

. parameters: Namely, the .'WS code' information of the N byte can be utilized to. indicate that there is no WS as e17 as information designating the WS type..

IG. 6B shows an example of. recording disc information for a specific write strategy, in : which a disc manufact,..irer selects ' to record WS-1 from varid'us'' specifications in recording a wri:teetrategy.for. ix,-speed, within ix-speed disc .in ormation of a first recording layer. Namely., a write strategy code.
field. (NI'll byte) of 0000 0001b indicates a first write strategy, and parameter values corresponding to WS-1 are written. in the write strategy parameters field (the Ltrl1it"
'bytes).

If a disc manufacturer selects to record in WS-2, 0000 0010b is written in the write strategy code field. and WS-2 parameters will be written in the,`h-111th bytes. These write strategy ='parameters have different vales acc;ord;ing to the kind of write strategy. The corresponding write strategy parameters are predetermined, as specified inforiatiot. fitting the characteristics of the disc, and made available 'to 'a disc manufacturer or a system designer. As such, the,*. write. .
strategy parameters have arbitrary -values with no relevance to 'the'pteseht invention.

RIGS. 6C to 6E show specific embodiments for including the write =strr.ategy in the disc information of the present invention, assuming a dual layer disc in which 1x-sped. and 2=s ieed..are.applied to the two recording layers,'respectively.

201. Here., FIGS. '.6C and 6D' show a write strategy, optionally.
selected to be recorded for all recording. layers and recording --- - ------- --------------- -- --velocities on manufacturing' a disc, and FIG. 6E shows a recorded write strategy predetermined 'ba'sed on a. mandatory reccrding,at a specific recordyr_g'velocity.

FIG. 6C shows a case of optionally recording the write strategy for all recording layers and recording velocities.
For. instance, OOh is recorded to indicate disc info.rr:aation of .1x-speed for a first recording layer, and WS-1 is. selected as the write strategy; 01h is recorded to indicate disc, i-;formatian of 2x-speed for the first recording layer,. and WS-2 is selected as the write strategy; 02h is recorded to indicate disc information. of 1x-speed for a second recording layer, and WS-1 is selected as the write strategy; and 03h: is recorded to indicate disc information of 2x-speed for the second recording layer', and TWS-N is, selected as the write' 1v strategy.

'1"G. 6D. shows another example of optionally recording the write strategy, in which the same write-strategy is applied to the disc information of every recording layer and recoiding velocity.. . Since write strategy can be' optionally recorded, a 2:0 !disc manufacturer may apply the entire disc information identically for one most reliable write strategy. FIG: 6D

illustrates a case that WS-i is written for every disc information.

rIG. 5E shows a method of recording a write strategy previously determined- in a -mandatory manner in case of a specific recording velocity and write strategies optionally for all other -recording velocities. The write strategy for 1x-speed is. considered primary, where a specific method is predetermined, and a 'disc manufacturer can. optionally record all o-they recording velocities. For instance, if, the --write ':strategy ma ndat6ry for the lx-speed is WS-l, OOh. is recorded to indicate disc information of ix-speed for a first recording layer, and WS-l is.'set as, the mand~itoxy. -write strategy. Then, olh is recorded to indicate disc information of 2x-speed for th e.~ first recording layer,. 'and WS-.2 is selected as' the -write 5 strategy that can be optionally recorded; 02h is recorded to' indicate disc information of Ix-speed for a second recording layer, and WS.-1 is selected as the mandatory write strategy;
and 03h is recorded to indicate disc information of 2x-speed for -the second recording layer; WS-2 is selected as the write strategy that can be optionally..recorded. ' Win applying the cas-e of FIG. 6E, one of a plurality of specified write strategies is uniformly written as the lx-speed write strategy in a-mandatory manner, thereby enabling to secure recordings characteristics of the disc more. A disc 5. .manufacturer can optionally record one. of aplurality of the .specified write strategies uniformly for all recording velocities' besides the lx-speed, whereby a disc manufacturing process time can be shortened.. Here, the mandatory write strategy for 1x -speed can be recorded and a disc ma:ufacturer .10., can optionally record another write strategy for ix-speed separately, in which case :the disc i=nformat:ion for 1x-~bpe*.ed is made-up of one disc information including the specified man datory, write strategy and another disc information including the optional write strategy.

15'. FIGS. 7A and 78 i'llustrat.e the recording of disc information according' to a fourth of four embodiments of the present ir_ V. en,tion. First of all, a. plurality of disc information _ are recorded in a disc, a record sequence of each disc- information i s determined by a sequence number,, and the record sequence i.s 20 written ix one byte For instance, the corresponding 'infor'mation is recorded in a f-if th byte (i . e.. , the '!DI frame sequence number in DI block, which can be represented as 00h, Olh, 02h, 03h,. 04h, 05h, 06h, or 07r) of the disc information, where a fifth byte of'OOh, Olh, or 07h indicates a first disc information of 2x-speed for a first recording layer, a second disc information of 2x-speed for the first recording layer, or an eighth 'disc information-of 8x-speed for a second recording layer, respectively. Hence, the disc information is preferentially arranged ir_ a recording layer sequence and is co,,figured to follow, a per recording velocity information ~O sequence.

In a specific area within the disc information, recording velocity information designated by, the corresponding disc information and write- stra-tegy coping with the corresponding :recording-velocity are written in a reserved -speciis location.

15For instance, the . recording' ' velocity information of the corresponding disc information is written in the , Nt (N+4) tn tytes,.:-and: the write strategy coping with.'the corresponding recording velocity is written. in the Mth._1l'1th bytes .

for the fourth embodithent of the present invention. to provide 2Q. disc information coping with high recording ve locity, the-recording, velocity information and write, strategy are written for each of a plurality of recording velocity information, i.e., a nominal recording velocity .(Vnom), a maximum=recording veocity (Vmax), a minimum recording velocity (Vmir:), and an intermediate recording velocity (Vint). Here, the nominal recording velocity is a basic recording velocity of a corresponding disc and is generally written as information associated with ix-speed; the maximum recording velocity is an =applicabble maximum recording velocity (e.g.,. 3x-speed) associated with the optimal recording velocity; the minimum rec.ordincf. velocity 'ins an applicable minimum' recording velocity. (e.g., Vmax/2.4) associated with the optimal recording velocity; and the intermediate recording:velocity is.
ann.applicable intermediate recording velocity (e.g.., .7xVm.n) associated with the 'optimal recording velocity. The' above 15H relation of 'recording velocity values' has been determined by consideriig a, radius ratio between inner and outer circumferences of a Blia-ray . disc applicable to, the p?^esent i.nvention.. It is apparent that; such a relation can be variably applied to other kinds of discs and that the 2Q recording velocity. values can be set to different:value.s according to disc characteristics.

Relating to the optimal recording velocity (.1x-speed), the same information is preferably recorded in each disc information. Preferably,, the maximum, minimum; and intermediate recording velocities are differently determined' according to the maximum recording velocity value as far as the corresponding information is applicable.

Though any number of intermediate recording velocities can be:
established, the present' invention is characterized in having at least one intermediate recording velocity. At 1-east four recording velocity information are included in, one disc information, with system operation benefiting from: larger .numbers of recording velocity information. By utilizing a recordable area. within disc information -to the maximum, many intermediate recording velocity information can. be provided.

FIG., 7B schematically shows disc information recorded in the case of .HIG. 7A, and more particularly, in,the case of.'-a dual layer. For instance, when an optical disc requires three different.:recording velocity information per recording layer, s disc -information corresponding: to the respective recording velocities are needed within a PIC area. Each disc information: is. allocated to write a sequence number, corresponding recording velocity information, and corresponding write strategy to a predetermined area.

For instance, if the recording velocities to be represented.
are 1x-speed, 2x-speed, and 6x-speed, the disc information for a first recording layer includes first-., second, and third disc infortiation. Here, the first disc it;formation is 1x-.speed disc info.rmation of the first recording layer, its sequence number,corresponding to 00.h, and the corresponding recording.
velocity and write strategy. are written in a reserved location, Q i . e . , the Nt"- (N+4) th bytes and the Mtr--lllth bytes, respectively; the second disc. information is 2x-speed disc information of the first. recording layer, its sequence cumber corresponding to 0:1h, and the corresponding recording velocity and: write strategy are. written in similarly reserved .15 locations- and the third disc information is 6x-speed disc information. of the first recording, layer., its _sequence number:.
cor.responding.to02h, and the corresponding recording -zelocity and:write..strategy are written in similarly reserved locations.
Likewise, .fourth, fifth, and sixth disc information are for a 20 ,second recording layer, where the fourth disc information is 1x-speed disc information of the second recording layer and CA 02472364 2004-07-22,.

its sequence number corresponds to 03h, where the fifth disc information is 2x-speed disc information of the second recording layer and its sequence number corresponds to 04h, and where the sixth disc information is 6x-speed disc 5 information of the second recording layer and its sequence number 'corresponds to 05h. In this case, corresponding recording velocity and write strategy are written in the same location as' in the case of-the first recording layer.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a plurality i0 of. recording velocity information are all included in one disc -information, but one write strategy associated with specific recording velocity information can be written in one disc information with the remainder written in another disc information. For instance, regarding four_ kinds-of recording 5 velocity information, the number of required disc:irfcrmation..
will be four times more than that of the above--explained emhod.ime_n_t : Yet, the PIC area, in Which the disc information of: 112 .bytes is written, is an area providing f.or a sufficiently large number of disc.inffformation to be written 20- ' informat :on.

In a recording data on an optical disc according to the .present invention, the optical disc recording and reproducing apparatus first reads the entire disc management area of an inserted optical disc, the read information being disc information of the present invention', which is temporarily.
stored in the memory 1 rz.
Thus, the recording layer informatior_, recording velocity information, and write strategy fitting the corresponding recording velocity are read out and.temporarily stored.
