Information recording apparatus and information recording method
First Claim
1. An information recording apparatus for recording, on an information recording medium, multimedia information including at least one of audio information, image information and digital code data in an optically readable code form, said information recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head unit for printing a code associated with the multimedia information on the information recording medium;
driving means for moving the recording head unit in a first direction of the information recording medium, and for moving the information recording medium relative to the recording head unit in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and
layout information input means for inputting layout information according to which the code is printed on the information recording medium,wherein predetermined processing is executed with respect to the code to be recorded, in accordance with the input layout information, such that the code is recorded on the information recording medium in a spatially independent tanner only by a single one-way scan operation of the recording head unit in the first direction, without moving the information recording medium and the recording head unit relative to each other in the second direction.

Abstract
A CPU converts multimedia information, which has been input from a multimedia information input unit, to an optically readable dot code, and prints the dot code on an information recording medium by means of a recording head. In this case, a control unit moves the recording head in a first direction of the information recording medium, and moves the information recording medium and recording head relative to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. When the dot code, which is spatially independent, is to be recorded on the information recording medium, the CPU controls the control unit such that the dot code is recorded only by a single one-way scan operation of the recording head unit in the first direction, without moving the information recording medium and the recording head unit relative to each other in the second direction.
