Optical disk recording/reproducing method and apparatus in which recording properties of the disk are detected when recording speed is changed
First Claim
1. An optical disk recording/reproducing apparatus, the apparatus comprising interruption means for interrupting a recording operation for recording onto a disk, reproducing means for reproducing a signal recorded on the disk before the recording operation is interrupted, comparing means for comparing the reproduced signal and a signal stored in a buffer RAM for temporarily storing a recording signal, resuming means for resuming the recording operation when the compared signals are determined to be identical to each other, wherein recording properties are detected based on a signal reproduced before the recording operation is resumed, to set the recording linear speed for resuming the recording operation, depending on whether the detected recording properties are determined to be satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and detection means for detecting a change in recording properties through comparison between recording property data detected based on a signal reproduced before the recording operation is resumed and recording property data detected at a previous point of change of the recording linear speed, to thereby determine whether or not the recording properties have become better.

Abstract
An operation for recording a recording signal onto a disk (1) is interrupted, when an amount of signal data stored in a buffer RAM (11) for temporarily storing the recording signal is less than an interruption setting value during performing of the recording operation. Moreover, when the amount of signal data stored in the buffer RAM (11) increases and indicates a resumption setting value, the signal recorded on the disk (1) before interruption is reproduced, and the recording operation is resumed based on the reproduced signal. Moreover, recording properties are detected by the signal reproduced before resumption of recording.

3. A method for recording/reproducing comprising:
-
interrupting a recording operation for recording onto a disk when a recording linear speed is to be changed; reproducing a signal recorded on the disk before interrupting a recording operation; comparing the reproduced signal and a signal stored in a buffer RAM for temporarily storing a recording signal; and resuming the recording operation when the compared signals are determined to be identical to each other; wherein recording properties are detected based on a signal reproduced before the recording operation is resumed to set the recording linear speed for resuming the recording operation, depending on whether the detected recording properties are determined to be satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and further including detecting a change in recording properties through comparison between recording property data detected based on a signal reproduced before the recording operation is resumed and detecting recording property data at a previous point of change of the recording linear speed, to thereby determine whether or not the recording properties have become better. - View Dependent Claims (4)
