Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress tampering of unique information recorded on a recording medium. SOLUTION: In this invention, when servo information is recorded in the servo zone of a magnetic disk, a recording pattern 151 consisting of a magnetization transition point a1 and a magnetization transition point b1 is recorded in the prescribed area of a data zone and a recording pattern 152 consisting of a magnetization transition point a2 and a magnetization transition point b2 is recorded with a recording current weaker than that of ID information so that its phase does not overlap with the magnetization transition point a1 and the magnetization transition point b1 in the same area as the area where the recording pattern 151 is recorded in the next circulation. The area where the recording patterns 151, 152 are recorded is reproduced as a reproduced signal waveform 161 in which amplitude of a point A2 and a point B2 to which the magnetization points a2, b2 are made to correspond is large and amplitude of a point A1 and a point B1 to which the magnetization points a1, b1 are made to correspond is small. The invention is applicable to a recording and reproducing device for recording, viewing and listening contents which need protection of intellectual property. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a recording and a reproducing of information by an unauthorized user, who does not have a normally licensed device, by providing a constitution in which a secret key is recorded in a special data recording region as key information of an open key ciphering system. SOLUTION: An open key and a secret key used in an open key ciphering system are recorded in a track #-1 as disk medium intrinsic information. In other words, the track #-1 is regarded as a special data recording region to record the open and the secret keys and the secret key is recorded in a sector #0 of the track #-1, secret key recording information is recorded in a sector #1 and the open key is recorded in a sector #2. When a disk device, in which the secret key and the secret key recording information are recorded in a track #1, receives a new secret key recording command, the secret key recording information of the first sector of the track #-1 is reproduced first. When the secret key recording information indicates the fact that the secret key is already recorded, no recording takes place for a new secret key on a disk and an error is returned.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the probability that servo information is misdetected by inputting phase-difference divided bit streams generated by dividing a sampled bit stream by an analog-digital converting circuit and detecting addresses according to the individual input divided bit streams. SOLUTION: The signal converted by an A/D converter(ADC) 526 is inputted to a track number/position signal detecting circuit 517, whose detection signal is further inputted to a position control circuit 522 performing position control, and a voice coil motor(VCM) 523 is driven to control the positioning of a head 512. The 4-fold oversampling signal from the ADC 526 is inputted sequentially to an address detector of a track number/position signal detecting circuit 517, one by one, to discard a 4th sample and then the next and succeeding samples are inputted to the address detector in order.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently suppress the occurrence of errors in data while securing a real time property in the case of recording and reproducing data such as compressed image data to which the real time property is requested. SOLUTION: In the case of recording data constituting an AV data stream on a magnetic disk 5, information showing the importance degree of a cluster is temporarily stored in a temporary storage register 34 for each cluster. While referring to the temporary storage register 34, an ECC circuit 41 recognizes the importance degree of a cluster to be recorded and the error-correcting code of a correction ability corresponding to the importance degree is added to the cluster.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device that is suitable for EPR 4 channels, where a coding rate is enhanced to 16/18, and that decodes a trellis code to which processing of eliminating a QC sequence has been applied. SOLUTION: In a Viterbi decoder that decodes a 16/18 code, a maximum likelihood path metric selection circuit 22 provides a new path metric to a replacement circuit 25. The replacement circuit 25 changes a correspondence between a received path metric and a storage area in a latch circuit 23 according to a signal generated from a counter 26, each time it counts the number of arithmetic operation times up to 9. Since the Viterbi decoder processes equalized signals for each two samples, when arithmetic operations of 9 times correspond to processing of 18 samples (that is, a portion corresponding to one code word). The path metric is replaced by allowing the latch circuit 23 to latch an output of the replacement circuit 25, so that a trellis code subjected to processing of eliminating a QC sequence is decoded.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information reproducing device reducing deterioration in detection performance due to fluctuation in signal amplitude while causing thermal asperity(TA) with respect to a magnetic disk or a magnetic tape device. SOLUTION: A means 18 adjusting a variable gain amplifier 11 (AGC amplifier) adjusting an amplitude reference level supplied to a viterbi decoder 19 when the occurrence of the TA peculiar to an MR head 23 is detected, or adjusting a gain so that the signal amplitude is fixed at a regular reproducing time is provided. By correcting the deterioration in the regenerative signal amplitude while causing the TA with the viterbi decoder or the AGC amplifier, an increase of a bit error while causing the TA is suppressed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the reduction of power consumption without lowering the detection accuracy by decoding an input signal and reproducing the information in accordance with digital data, in which the A/D conversion is made on the vicinity of a middle value of amplitude values at the plural signal existing points in the input signal at the quantization step width smaller than that of other regions. SOLUTION: The data which the inputted writing data are channel encoded by a channel encoder 1, are written into a magnetic disk 3 through a recording amplifier 2. The reproduced signal read out from the magnetic disk 3 through a head is equalized to the waveform of inter leaved NRZI code by an equalizer 5 to which the reproduced signal is inputted through a reproduction amplifier 4. The quantization is made by an A/D converter 6, to which this equalized signal is inputted, at the smaller step width on the vicinity of the information discriminating boundary value in the middle of plural signal existing points, conversely at the larger step width on the vicinity or the outside of the signal existing points. By this constitution, the reduction of the number of comparators in the A/D converter 6 and of the power consumption is attained without lowering the accuracy at the time of decoding.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To shorten decoding delay without degrading a bit error rate which is the result of decoding. CONSTITUTION: The data recorded on a magnetic disk 53 by the channel signals to limit the max. run of 0 to K-bit is decoded by a Viterbi decoding method using a path memory having K+1 stages of shift registers in a Viterbi decoder 57. The path memory has two shift registers for temporarily deciding 0 or 1 each and the output of the shifter register for temporarily deciding the 1 of these registers is used as the result of decoding.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent occurrence of inter-code interference by a method wherein at least the leading part of a data area is magnetized initially in a prescribed direction of magnetization beforehand and information is recorded so that a magnetized part is formed in the same direction as the prescribed direction of magnetization. CONSTITUTION:A servo area is formed by a means wherein the part of a magnetic body 1b formed on a disk base 1a which corresponds to the servo area is magnetized with a direct current in the lateral direction (track direction). As for a data area, at least the leading part thereof is magnetized initially in the same direction as the direction of magnetization of the servo area. When data are recorded, a recording current flows through the leading part of the data area so that this part is magnetized in the same direction as the direction of the initial magnetization thereof, and therefore no unnecessary transition of magnetization is formed in the leading part of the data area. Accordingly, no inter-code interference occurs when the data recorded in the leading part of the data area are reproduced.
