OPTICAL DISC APPARATUS AND OPTICAL DISC PROVIDED WITH QUALITY ESTIMETOR FOR GENERATING QUALITY VALUE OF RECORDING QUALITY OF OPTICAL DISC
First Claim
1. An optical disc apparatus that records and reproduces data onto and from an optical disc in units of predetermined block, the optical disc apparatus comprising:
- an information divider that divides the data so as to reduce an amount of the data included in each of blocks when a recording state of the optical disc does not satisfy a predetermined criterion, and reproduces recording data in units of the block by adding sub-information including a value indicating the amount of the data included in each of the blocks;
an error-correction encoder circuit that encodes the recording data in a first error-correction code format;
a recorder that converts encoded recording data into a recording signal, and records the recording signal onto the optical disc; and
a quality evaluator circuit that produces an evaluation value indicating a recording quality based on a result of reproducing the recording signal recorded on the optical disc.

Abstract
In an optical disc apparatus that records and reproduces data onto and from an optical disc in units of predetermined block, an information divider divides the data so as to reduce an amount of the data included in each of blocks when a recording state of the optical disc does not satisfy a predetermined criterion, and reproduces recording data in units of the block by adding sub-information including a value indicating the amount of the data included in each of the blocks. An error-correction encoder circuit encodes the recording data in a first error-correction code format, and a recorder converts encoded recording data into a recording signal, and records the recording signal onto the optical disc. A quality evaluator circuit produces an evaluation value indicating a recording quality based on a result of reproducing the recording signal recorded on the optical disc.

3. An optical disc apparatus that records and reproduces data onto and from an optical disc, the optical disc including a first space into which user data is recorded, and a second space into which management information different from the user data is recorded in units of a predetermined block, the optical disc apparatus comprising:
-
an error-correction encoder circuit that error-correction-encodes the user data in units of a first block in the first space, and error-correction-encodes the management information in units of a second block, the second block having a length shorter than a length of the unit of the first block, and having a redundancy degree higher than a redundancy degree of the unit of the first block; and a recorder that converts the error-correction-encoded user data or management information into a recording signal, and records the recording signal into the optical disc.

4. An optical disc which user data and management information are recorded into and reproduced from, the optical disc comprising:
-
a first space, which the user data error-correction-encoded in units of a first block is recorded into and reproduced from; and a second space, which the management information is recorded into, the management information being error-correction-encoded in units of a second block, the second block having a length shorter than a length of the unit of the first block, and having a redundancy degree higher than a redundancy degree of the unit of the first block.
