Optical disk, an optical disk barcode forming method, an optical reproduction apparatus, a marking forming apparatus, a method of forming a laser marking on an optical disk, and a method of manufacturing an optical disk
First Claim
1. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information on an optical disk which has a first information layer and a second information layer which are capable to be read out from one side of said optical disk by an optical head and further has a mark part which is formed at a certain information layer existing at a predetermined radius of said first and/or second information layer, said mark having stripe-like configuration in a radius direction, comprising;
- exchanging means for exchanging a focusing state of said optical head to said first or second information layer,focusing control means for controlling a focusing according to a signal from said exchanging means,focusing driving means for driving said optical head according to a signal from said focusing control means, whereina signal of said mark existing at said certain information layer is reproduced by exchanging the focusing of said optical heads.

Abstract
Disclosed is an optical disk barcode forming method wherein, as information to be barcoded, position information for piracy prevention, which is a form of ID, is coded as a barcode and is recorded by laser trimming on a reflective film in a PCA area of an optical disk. When playing back the thus manufactured optical disk on a reproduction apparatus, the barcode data can be played back using the same optical pickup.

2. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information on an optical disk which has a first information layer and a second information layer which are capable to be read out from one side of said optical disk by an optical head and further has a mark part at a certain information layer existing at a predetermined radius of said first and/or second information layer, said mark having long configuration in a radius direction and lower reflection characteristics than that of neighboring parts, comprising;
-
exchanging means for exchanging a focusing state of said optical head to said first or second information layer, focusing control means for controlling a focusing according to a signal from said exchanging means, focusing driving means for driving said optical head according to a signal from said focusing control means to exchange said focusing to said first or second information layer, wherein a signal of said mark existing at said certain information layer is reproduced by exchanging the focusing of said optical heads.
