Description

Information recording medium, Method of configuring Version Information Thereof, Recording and Reproducing Method Using the same, And Recording and Reproducing Apparatus Thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to information recording medium, such
as an optical disc, a method of recording disc version information
thereof, recording and/or reproducing method using the disc version
information recording and/or reproducing, and a recording and
reproducing apparatus thereof .
Background Art
Generally, information recording medium, e.g., an optical disc on
which a large volume of data is recordable is widely used as an
optical record medium. Recently, many efforts are made to develop a
new high density optical record medium (Hb-DVD) , on which video data
of high definition and audio data of high quality, program data of
large capacity can be recorded and stored, such as a Blu-ray disc (BD) and the like.
The Blu-ray disc that is a sort of a next generation HD-DVD
technology is the next generation optical record solution enabling
to be fully equipped with data to remarkably surpass the previous
DVD, and the technology specifications of global standardizations
for the Blu-ray disc are being established together with other digital equipment.
Various kinds of specifications associated with Blu-ray discs have been prepared. Specifically, various specifications for a 2x-speed
(or higher) rewritable Blu-ray disc (BD-RE) following the lx-speed BD-RE, a write-once Blu-ray disc (BD— O) , and a read-only Blu-ray disc (BD-RO ) have been prepared.
In spite of the same kind of Blu-ray disc, version of specified contents for the Blu-ray disc keeps being updated to keep up with the technological development. For instance, disc specifications of the lx-speed rewritable Blu-ray disc are extending like those of the 2x-speed (or higher) rewritable Blu-ray disc do. Hence, the extending specified contents need to be managed as disc version information.
Referring to FIG. 1, fig.l illustrates a method of representing DVD disc version information according to a related art, 4 bits are allocated to a management area of a ' disc to display version information. Whenever a new version is implemented, additional bits are allocated to display the version. The disc version information is used in determining whether a given recorder/reproducer can reproduce the data of a recorded disc. Hence, the disc version needs to be recorded by a more unified and extendible method. In the case of a BD-RE, BD-R, or BD-ROM disc of which specifications are under discussion, the method of recording the disc version information are being discussed as well. Therefore, an efficient solution for recording the disc version information in a high density optical disc is urgently needed, which should be provided as standardized information to secure mutual compatibility.

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like part's .
Besides, although terms used in the present invention are possibly selected from the currently well-known ones, some terms are arbitrarily chosen by the applicant in some cases so that their meanings are explained in detail in the following description. Hence, the present invention should be understood with the intended meanings of the corresponding terms chosen by the applicant instead of the simple names or meanings of the terms themselves. For convenience of explanation, a Blu-ray disc (BD) is taken as an example of an optical disc according to the present invention. Yet, it is apparent that the concept of the present invention is characterized in an optical disc having its disc version information
updated to be applicable to DVD, e.g., DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/+R/+RW and the like for example.
The present invention related to a method of recording disc version information. Newly defined disc version information is firstly explained and the method is then explained in detail as follows. First of all, regarding 'disc version information', as mentioned in the foregoing description, a disc version is newly defined whenever new specification item is added according to the development of disc technology of the same kind and a disc manufacturer records in a specific area of a disc information that the corresponding disc . is prepared by which version, whereby a recording/reproducing apparatus (shown in FIG. 8) for recording and/or reproducing the corresponding disc reads and identifies the disc version information recorded in the disc for recording/reproducing . In configuring 'disc version information' , the present invention follows the rules in the following. First of all, disc version information is divided into three parts to represent and is defined as follows. A first version information means new specifications in the same kind of disc format that reciprocal compatibility with a previous version, e.g., backwards compatibility with respect to reading or writing, is not secured since -physical specifications of the disc are changed. A second version information means addition to the corresponding specifications with the same number of first version information that the reciprocal compatibility is maintained if the first version information is identical in spite that the physical specifications of the disc are changed, e.g., writing condition or reading condition of the disc is changed. And, a third
version information means the compatibility is always maintained reciprocally by adding/changing editorial of specifications only in case that the physical specifications of the disc are
not changed .
And, the first to third version information are described in the
following manner for the definition thereof. For instance, if
version information of a predetermined disc is represented by
'Va.bc' , 'a' means the first version information, 'b' means the
second version information, and 'c' means the third version
information. Hence, if the disc version information is 'VI.00', the
first to third version information become '1', ' 0', and '0',
respectively.
Assuming that a specification item of a new version is added to the
disc version 'VI.00', the version information will be represented by 'V2.00' if the added specification item is a new physical
specification failing to maintain the compatibility with the
previous version 'VI.00'. The version information will be
represented by 'VI.00' if the added specification item is a new
physical specification maintaining the compatibility with the
previous version 'VI.00'. The version information will be
represented by 'VI.01' if it is addition/change of specification-
editorial having no change of the physical specification item.
In recording the disc version information in the disc, the third
version information may be unnecessary. The disc version information
is recorded in the disc so that the recording and/or reproducing
apparatus (shown in FIG. 8) efficiently copes with the change of the physical specifications of the disc. As the third version information corresponds to the case that the physical specifications fail to be changed, the record layback apparatus need not look up the third version information. Hence, in representing the disc version information, the present invention mainly deals with the first and second version information. Yet, it is apparent that the third version information can be recorded in the same manner as well. Namely, the present invention divides the disc version information into the first version information and the second version information at least and defines areas where the first and second version information are recorded, respectively. Hence, the present invention enables to record the disc version information efficiently and to actively cope with the extension of the disc version. FIG. 2 and FI . 3 are a structural diagram of a single-layered disc and a diagram of a method of recording disc control information including disc version information. A playback-only optical disc as well as a recordable optical disc is applicable to the present invention. As mentioned in the foregoing description, for convenience of explanation, a Blu-ray disc (BD) is taken as an example of an optical disc according to the present invention. Yet, it is apparent that the concept of the present invention is characterized in an optical disc having its disc version information updated to be applicable to DVD-RAM/- RW/+RW and the like for example. Moreover, 'disc control information' including disc version information means information or area including various kinds of information for disc recording and/or reproducing. For instance, a Blu-ray disc names it 'disc information' or DVD-RAM/-RW/+W names it 'physical format information' .
First of all, 'disc information (hereinafter abbreviated DI) ' corresponding to a case of a Blu-ray disc (BD) is explained for convenience as follows.
FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a single-layered disc having one record layer according to the present invention, in which disc information including disc version information of the present invention is recorded in a disc.
Referring to FIG. 2, a lead-in area is provided on an inner circumference area of an optical disc, whereas a lead-out area is provided on an outer circumference area of the optical disc. Specifically, a pre-recorded area and a rewritable or write once area are separate from each other within the inner circumference area of the disc. The pre-recorded area is an area where data was already recorded in manufacturing the disc, whereby a user or system is unable to perform data recording on the pre-recorded area at all. In BD-RE/WO, the pre-recorded area is named PIC (permanent information and control data) area. And, disc information as information required for disc recording is recorded in the PIC area. in a data area, provided are a user data area where user' s real data is recorded and spare areas ISA and OSA to replace a generated defect area. Specifically, TDMA (temporary defect management area) for recording information of defect and general management is provided within a management are in such a write-once optical disc as BD-WO. In case of the re-writable BD-RE, TDMA is unnecessary to remain as a reserved area.
The present invention intends to provide a method of recording disc version information efficiently as well as a method of recording speed information for recording and/or reproducing and write strategy (hereinafter abbreviated WS) as disc information in the pre-recorded area.
It is apparent that a recording method in the pre-record area is differently applied to each kind of standardized discs. Yet, in case of BD-RE/WO, the PIC area as the pre-recorded area is recorded by biphased high frequency modulated signals, the high frequency modulated signals in the corresponding area are played back according to a specific playback method, and information is acquired from the playback. FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of a PIC area in the disc shown in FIG. 2. As mentioned in the foregoing description, it means that information can be rearranged like the structure of the PIC area in Fig. 3 when the entire information within the high frequency modulated PIC area is acquired. Yet, it does not mean that the PIC area is not physically constructed like the structure in FIG. 3.
In BD-RE/WO, 'one cluster' represents a minimum record unit, 544
clusters gather to construct one fragment as one upper record unit,
and total five fragments .gather to form the PIC area.
Disc information is recorded in a front head cluster of a first
fragment IFO. The disc information is plurally recorded per record
layer and speed permitted by the corresponding optical disc, and one
disc information includes one hundred twelve bytes. Specifically,
disc information constructed with 12 bytes is occasionally called
disc information (DI) frame. Moreover, the same contents of the disc
information are repeatedly recorded in each front head cluster of
the rest of the fragments, thereby enabling to cope with loss of the
disc information.
Information representing the corresponding record layer and speed
and write strategy (WS) corresponding to the record layer and speed
are recorded within each disc information of a recordable optical
disc as well as disc version information. Hence, such information is
utilized in recording and/or reproducing of the corresponding
optical disc, thereby enabling efficient recording and/or reproducing.
If the optical disc is such a playback-only optical disc as BD-ROM,
it is apparent that the speed information for the disc record and
write strategy are not included in the disc information. A method of recording disc version information within the
above-explained disc information is explained in detail through
various embodiments by referring to FIGs . 4 to 10 as follows.
FIG. 4 is a diagram of a method of recording disc information
including disc version information according to one embodiment of
the present invention, in which an area for recording disc version
information is separately allocated.
Referring to FIG. 4, at least one disc information is recorded in a
disc, and an order of each disc information is decided according to
its sequence number to be recorded by one byte.
For instance, the corresponding information is recorded at a fifth
byte within the disc information, is named 'DI frame sequence number
in DI block', and is briefly represented by '00h, Olh, 02h,...'.
Namely, if the information of the fifth byte is 'OOh' , it means
first disc information. If the information of the fifth byte is
'03h', it means fourth disc information.
In case of a recordable optical disc, write strategy (WS)
interoperating with the speed meant by the corresponding disc
information is recorded in an area named 'write strategy parameters'
field by (L~lll)th bytes, and information for disc version is
recorded in an area named 'disc version' field by Nth byte.
The 'disc version' field is divided into two parts, in which first
version information is recorded in first four bits and second four
bits are allocated as an area for recording second version information therein. Hence, the first and second version
information, each having four bits allocated thereto, enables to
represent maximum fifteen versions. In other words, first version
and second version represent each digit value by binary notation. A
value of 'F' is a hexadecimal expression meaning '15' of decimal in
case of 'Vx.Fx' or 'VF.xx' shown in FIG. 4. And, 'x' is an
expression meaning that the corresponding version information is a
value of 'don't' care'. The same expressions will be applied to
another embodiments of the present invention that will be explained
later.
If the 'disc version' field of Nth byte is '0100 0010b', the first
version information becomes '4' and the second version information
becomes ' 2'. Hence, the version of the corresponding disc is 'V4.2x' .
FIG. 5 is a diagram of a method of recording disc information
including disc version information according to another embodiment
of the present invention, in which compatibility with a disc
information recording method in the currently-discussed lx-
rewritable Blu-ray disc (BD-RE) is maintained.
Referring to FIG. 5, 11th byte of disc information is named 'disc
size/version' field where disc size information and version
information are recorded. Size information, first version
information, and second version information are recorded in first 2-
bits, second 3 -bits, and third 3 -bits, respectively. For the disc size information, since the currently discussed
Blu-ray disc (BD) has 12cm size only, '00b' means 12cm and the rest
are left as a reserved area for other disc sizes that will be added
to the standardization later. For example, in case of 8cm disc, it
can be set to '01b' . Foir the disc version information, 3 -bits among
total 6-bits are allocated to each of the first version information
and the second version information so that each version information
enables to represent maximum seven.
If the 11th byte is '00 001 010b', the disc size is 12cm, the first
version information becomes '1' and the second version information
becomes '2' . Hence, the version of the corresponding disc is 'V1.2x' .
FIG. 6 is a diagram of a method of recording disc information
including disc version information according to another embodiment
of the present invention, in which compatibility with a disc
information recording method in the currently-discussed lx-
rewritable Blu-ray disc (BD-RE) is maintained like the embodiment of
FIG. 5.
Referring to FIG. 6, 4 -bits are allocated to the second version
information and 2 -bits are allocated to the first version
information unlike the embodiment of FIG. 5. Even if physical
specification change occurs in the second version information, the
reciprocal compatibility is maintained in case of the same first
version information. For example, if there are two kinds of discs
with version 2.1 and version 2.2 respectively, a physical specification change may occur between each disc with respect
to second version, but the reciprocal compatibility is maintained
because of the same first version information. In another case, if
there are two kinds of discs with version 1.1 and version 2.1
respectively, a physical;- specification change may occur between each
disc with respect to first version, and the reciprocal compatibility
is not maintained because of the different first version information.
The above cases are actually applied to a relation between disc and
drive. For example, if a disc with a version 2.x is loaded into an
old drive, which controls a' disc with version 1.x, then the drive
should not access the disc with version 2.x to read or write data on
the disc, because the drive do not have any hardware and/or software
to control the disc with version 2.x.
Otherwise, if a disc with a version X.3 is loaded into an old drive,
which can control a disc with version X.2, then the drive may access
the disc to read or write data on the disc, because the first
version information is same.
Meanwhile, since it is highly probable that the version change may
occur, more bits can be allocated to the second version information.
If 11th byte is '00 10 0011b', the disc size is 12cm, the first
version information becomes '2' and the second version- information
becomes '3'. Hence, the version of the corresponding disc is 'V2.3x'.
FIG. 7 is a diagram of a method of recording disc information
including disc version information according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which compatibility with a disc information recording method in the currently-discussed lx-rewritable Blu-ray disc (BD-RE) is maintained like the embodiment of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6. Referring to FIG. 7, unl-ike the embodiment of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the first version information and the disc size information are recorded together in 11th byte, whereas 1-byte is allocated to a separate
reserved area (Nth byte) . As mentioned in the foregoing description, the embodiment in FIG. 7 considers allocation of more bits and multitude of reserved areas within the currently disc information since the version change probability of the second version information is higher than that of the first version information. Hence, it is also possible that the second version information is recorded in the 11th byte and the first version information is recorded in the Nth byte.
If the 11th byte is '00 000010b' and the Nth byte is '0000 0100b', the disc size is 12cm, the second version information becomes '4', and the first version information becomes '2'. Hence, the version of the corresponding disc is 'V2.4x'. FIG. 8 is a diagram of a method of recording disc control information using disc version information according to another
embodiment of the present invention. Version information of the present invention means not disc specification version information but recording speed version information. Namely, the recording speed version information recorded
within disc information intends to represent a recording speed
extending from a precious recording speed in the same manner of the
above-described disc version information. For instance, in case of a
recordable optical disc,, a write strategy (WS) to cooperate with a speed meant by the corresponding disc information is recorded in an
area named 'Write Strategy parameters' field of Lth~lllth bytes and
information for a recording speed version is recorded in another
specific area named 'Recording Speed Version' field of Nth byte.
The 'Recording Speed Version' field is divided into two parts. First
4-bits are allocated to record first version information therein and
second 4-bits are allocated to record second version information
therein. Hence, the first and second version information, to which
4-bits are allocated each, enable to represent maximum 15 versions.
Hence, if the 'Recording Speed Version' field of Nth byte is '0100
0010b', the first and second version information become '4' and '2',
respectively. Hence, it means that the recording speed version of
the corresponding disc is 'V4.2x' .
Therefore, these values indicate an actual speed by binary notation.
L to 111 bytes includes write strategy parameters for each recording
speed, which is applied to a disc.
FIG. 9 is a diagram of a method of recording disc control
information using disc version information according to another
embodiment of the present invention, in which presence of non-presence of compatibility with a previous version is
additionally represented by the disc version information. Referring to FIG. 9, two kinds of version information are recorded within disc information. First version information means real disc information of a current disc and is the version information recorded in Nth byte as 'actual disc version info' field. And, a specific recording method in such a field is the same of that in FIG. 4 and its explanation is skipped in the following. And, second version information means compatible version information compatible with a current disc and previous disc and is recorded in 11th byte as 'compatible disc version info' field. In the present embodiment, 6-bits are allocated to the field to represent compatible version information by a specific bit value. Also, alternative allocation is possible, e.g, 4-bits allocated to the field as version information of fig.l.
If the 11th byte is '00 000010b' and the Nh byte is '0010 0010b', it can be known from the 11th byte that a disc size is 12cm and compatible version information is 'Version 2' (this means that a specific version value can be decided by a specification but fails to mean 'V2.xx'). And, it can be also known from the Nth byte that real disc version information is 'V2.2x'.
Therefore, from the disc version information within the disc information, it is able to read out not only the real version information of the current disc but also the compatible version information.
Thus, the disc version information is recorded in the above-
described manner by a recording/reproducing apparatus. This is
mainly because a recording and/or reproducing apparatus (shown in
FIG. 10) correctly reads out the version of the loaded disc to
decide whether the disc of the read-out version is
recordable/playable or not. An optical disc recording and/or
reproducing method using disc version information and apparatus
thereof according to the present invention are explained in detail
as follows.
FIG. 10 is a diagram of an optical disc recording and/or reproducing
apparatus applicable to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 10, a recording and/or reproducing apparatus
according to the present invention includes a recording and/or
reproducing unit 10 carrying out recording and/or reproducing on or
from an optical disc and a control unit 20 controlling the recording
and/or reproducing unit 10. The control unit 20 gives a recording
and/or reproducing command for a specific area, and the recording
and/or reproducing unit 10 caries out the recording and/or
reproducing for the specific area according to the command of the
control unit 20.
Specifically, the recording and/or reproducing unit 10 includes an
interface unit 12 performing communications with an external device,
e.g., host, a pickup unit 11 directly recording data on the optical disc or playing back the data, a data processor 13
receiving a playback signal from the pickup unit 11 to restore into

device 30 displaying a signal played back via the recording and/or
reproducing unit 10 or providing a final user of information via the
control unit 20 may be provided.
Industrial Applicability
A recording and/or reproducing process of an optical disc according
to the present invention is explained in detail as follows.
First of all, once an optical disc is loaded in the optical
recording and/or reproducing apparatus, the disc control information
recorded in the disc is read out to be temporarily stored in the
memory 15 of the recording and/or reproducing unit 10. And, various
kinds of the disc control information are utilized for the recording
and/or reproducing of the optical disc. Specifically, the control information stored in the memory 15 includes disc
information containing the disc version information of the present
invention. Hence, the first and second version information recorded
within the disc information are read out .
If the disc version supported by the recording and/or reproducing
apparatus is 'VI. xx', the microcomputer 16 within the recording
and/or reproducing unit 10 decides that the corresponding disc is
recordable and/or playable if the first version information within
the disc version information read out from the loaded disc is '1'
and then notifies the corresponding decision to the control unit 20.
The control unit 20 then delivers a normal recording and/or
reproducing command to the recording and/or reproducing unit 10. Yet,
the microcomputer 16 decides that the corresponding disc is not
recording and/or playable if the first version information within
the disc version information read out from the loaded disc is equal
to or greater than '2' and then notifies' the corresponding decision
to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 then notifies an
announcement message informing that the recording and/or reproducing
is impossible via the display device 30 to a user, if necessary.
In so doing, the second version information is basically recordable
and/or playable even if it is different. Yet, a recording and/or
reproducing apparatus having higher second version information may
fail to support a certain function, such as the reading or writing
data from or on the optical disc. In such a case, it is also possible to notify an announcement message that a certain function is not supportable to the user via the control unit. For instance, if the disc version supported by the recording and/or reproducing apparatus is 'Vl.lx' and the disc version information read out from the loaded disc is 'VI.3x', the recording and/or reproducing is possible because the first version information is identical. Yet, since the second version information of the loaded disc is '1' and corresponds to a previous version, compared to '3' of the second version information the recording and/or reproducing apparatus supports, a certain function of the recording and/or reproducing apparatus may be unusable .
Therefore, the microcomputer 16 within the recording and/or reproducing apparatus compares the first and second version information recorded in the loaded disc to its version information to decide recording and/or reproducing possibility or supportability of the certain function, and then delivers the corresponding decision to the control unit or user, thereby enabling the efficient
recording and/or reproducing of the optical disc. Accordingly, the present invention provides various methods of recording disc version information in a high density optical disc using disc information including the disc version information, and more particularly, using at least two kinds of version information,
thereby enabling to uniformly apply the standardized disc information to efficiently cope with the recording and/or reproducing of the optical disc.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
