Method for encoding and decoding confidential optical disc
First Claim
1. A method for encoding a confidential optical disc with a burner, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal for creating the confidential optical disc to switch a burner into a burning mode;
setting a data-accessing password for future verification, wherein the data-accessing password is placed to a secret file set descriptor and allocated on any unoccupied space of an optical disc, wherein the secret file set descriptor is a non-standard file and stores a preset address pointing to a root directory record of a real directory tree;
selecting one of data sources for public viewing and confidential viewing data to be burned on the disc;
receiving a start burn signal to begin a data encoding process;
creating a temporary file system as a buffer that includes two stages;
creating a standard file set comprising a standard file system including a dummy directory tree pointing to dummy data, wherein the standard file system defines the next available address as the start of the secret file set descriptor, andcreating a parallel file set comprising the secret file set descriptor and the real directory tree pointing to real data; and
burning the buffer to the optical disc to produce the confidential optical disc.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of encoding and decoding an optical disc, which could contain both confidential data and public viewing data. The method manipulates on the file system of the optical disc and protects the confidential data with ID field, password entry mechanism and burner/player/reader using the method of the present invention. Further, the present invention provides control over types of audience and time of viewing since ordinary optical disc player can only play public viewing data and the present invention complying player will be able to play the confidential data providing with correct password and ID field.
