Record medium, and method for recording to and reproducing from a record medium
First Claim
1. A method of recording successive data elements on a record medium, comprising the steps of:
- receiving said data elements, each of the data elements having a plurality of data;
adding to each data element error detection and error correction data derived from the data element;
transferring some of the data in a respective data element to a different data element to produce arranged data elements; and
recording each of said arranged data elements in a respectively different region of said record medium.

Abstract
Method of recording on a record medium by receiving a series of data elements, adding error detection and error correction data to each data element, moving some of the data in each data element to an adjacent data element to produce arranged data elements, and recording the arranged data elements in different sectors on a record medium. Upon reproduction of the arranged data elements from a record medium, some of the data in each arranged data element are moved to an adjacent data element to produce rearranged data elements. Errors in each rearranged data element are detected and corrected using data contained therein. A record medium having concentric tracks on which a plurality of sectors are located stores data in each of the sectors. The data in each sector pertains to two different sectors so that the affect of a burst error on a particular sector is minimized.

17. A method of reproducing successive data elements recorded as arranged data elements on a record medium in which each arranged data element includes data from two respectively different unarranged data elements, comprising the steps of:
-
reproducing said successive arranged data elements from said record medium, each reproduced arranged data element having a plurality of data including error detection and error correction data; transferring some of the data in a reproduced arranged data element to a different reproduced arranged data element to produce rearranged data elements; detecting and correcting errors in each of said rearranged data elements in accordance with the error detection and error correction data in said rearranged data element; and supplying the error corrected rearranged data elements as unarranged data elements. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method of reproducing data recorded as arranged data elements on a record medium, comprising the steps of:
-
reproducing at least two arranged data elements from said record medium, each of said arranged data elements having a plurality of data including error detection and error correction data; identifying in each of the reproduced arranged data elements data therein which is associated with a single rearranged data element, said rearranged data element containing data derived from both of the reproduced arranged data elements; storing in a memory data included in a reproduced arranged data element which has been identified as being associated with said single rearranged data element and generating therefrom said single rearranged data element; detecting and correcting errors in the generated single rearranged data element in accordance with the reproduced error detection and error correction data; and supplying the error corrected single rearranged data element as an output.

33. A method of reproducing arranged data from a read-only, a writable or a hybrid record medium, comprising the steps of:
-
identifying the record medium as a read-only record medium, a writable record medium or a hybrid record medium, the latter having both read-only and writable regions; identifying the read-only regions and the writable regions of said record medium when said record medium is identified as a hybrid record medium; reproducing from said read-only or writable region arranged data elements containing error detection and error correction data; transferring some of the data in a reproduced arranged data element to a different arranged data element to produce rearranged data elements when said data elements are reproduced from said read-only region; providing each of said arranged data elements as said rearranged data elements when said data elements are reproduced from said writable region; detecting and correcting errors in a rearranged data element in accordance with the error detection and error correction data in said each rearranged data element; and supplying the error corrected rearranged data elements as an output. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

- 40. A record medium having a read-only area at which data is stored, said read-only area including a plurality of sectors having stored therein data including error detection and error correction data, some of said data in each sector being derived from that sector and other data in said sector being derived from a different sector, and said error detection and error correction data in said sector being derived both from the data in that sector and from the data in said different sector.
- 42. A record medium having successive data recorded thereon, the record medium comprising a plurality of concentric tracks located between an outer periphery and an inner periphery of said record medium, each track having a plurality of equal angular servo areas having pit patterns for providing tracking and clock control, each servo area being followed by a plurality of data segments in which user data is recorded, said user data being partitioned into a plurality of sectors each containing a plurality of data segments, the user data in a respective sector including user data derived from that respective sector and user data derived from a sector adjacent the respective sector, each sector also containing parity data corresponding to the user data derived from said respective sector and corresponding to user data derived from the adjacent sector.
