Abstract:
An optical disk apparatus for recording information of copyright on an optical disk where desired data are recorded by repetition of pits or marks. The apparatus comprises a recording means for recording the copyright information by irradiating a laser beam onto the optical disk in such a manner as to repeatedly form, in a predetermined area of the optical disk, local regions which cause greater changes in the return-light receiving result as compared with the pits or marks. On the optical disk, the existence ratio of the local regions for recording the copyright information is set to be less than 0.3 in the circumferential direction of the disk. In a reproduction mode, the copyright information recorded like a bar code for example can be exactly reproduced with certainty.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase reproduction accuracy from an optical disk. SOLUTION: Firstly, an optical disk device performs a focus control based on a servo detection signal acquired by receiving a servo reflection light beam, which is a reference light beam LS having been reflected by a reference layer 102. After an amplitude value of a tracking error signal becomes below a prescribed threshold, an information light beam LM is switched to subject to a focus control based on an information detection signal acquired by receiving the information light beam, which is the information light beam having been reflected by a target mark layer YG. Accordingly, a focus control based on the information detection signal can reliably be performed without largely deviating the focus FM of the information light beam LM from the target mark layer YG. The information light beam LM can accurately be focused on the target mark layer YG. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phase detection device and a phase detection method capable of precisely detecting a phase difference between a reproduced signal reproduced from a recording medium and a clock signal, and to provide a reproduction device and reproduction method including the phase detection device. SOLUTION: A phase synchronization circuit 39 includes a limit phase detector 41. Consequently, for example, when timing (C) of zero crossing shown in the fig.4 is detected (YES at ST605), a counted value by a clock counter 47 is compared with a predetermined value (ST606), thereby a phase counter 51 can be in a non-enabled state in a period from C to the leading edge of the next clock, when the count value is smaller than the predetermined value (NO at ST606). That is, an output from (the phase counter 51 of) the limit phase detector 41 can be invalidated. As the result, it is possible to prevent a phase error signal from being obtained on the basis of an RF signal (input signal) of a pulse width smaller than a predetermined count value, which is easily affected by noise, etc. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical recording/reproducing method suitably applied to a near-field optical recording/reproducing system and capable of achieving a high speed for a transfer rate, an optical pickup device, and an optical recording/reproducing device. SOLUTION: In the optical recording/reproducing method for applying a near-field light to an optical recording medium to perform recording and/or reproducing, two or more recording/reproducing beam spots 32 are arranged in a recording/reproducing area 30 held between the guide tracks 31 of the optical recording medium to perform recording and/or reproducing.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain sure reproduction as to an optical disk device, an optical disk accessing method and the optical disk by applying them, e.g. to a minidisk(MD), compact disk(CD), digital video recorder(DVD), etc., and recording/ reproducing device of them, even in the case, e.g. the information regarding the copyright is recorded in the bar code state. SOLUTION: When the information regarding the copyright is recorded by repeatedly forming local positions giving lager changes to the light receiving result, as compared with pits and marks, the existence ratio in the circumferential direction of these local positions is set to be 0.3 or smaller.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain sure supplementary synchronization by preventing decrease of the recording capacity using a simple constitution for an information recorder, information recording medium and information reproducing device, e.g. in the manner of applying to an optical disk device and optical disk. SOLUTION: For these devices, modulation signals M1-M4 of plural systems are produced by using, e.g. carrier signals SC1-SC4 of orthogonal plural systems, and when desired data DD0-DD3 are recorded by changing a groove, etc., in accordance with a recording signal RS added with the modulation signals M1-M4 of these plural systems, the recording is performed by adding a synchronizing signal SYNC of reproduction reference of a data transfer clock CK1 to the recording signal RS.
