Optical disk playback device with three-dimensional playback functionality
First Claim
1. An optical disk playback device comprising:
- one or more lasers;
an optical assembly;
an optical detector; and
controller circuitry coupled to the optical detector;
the optical assembly being configured to direct incident light from the one or more lasers so as to form first and second scanning spots on a surface of an optical disk;
the optical assembly being further configured to direct corresponding reflected light from the first and second scanning spots on the surface of the optical disk to the optical detector;
wherein the optical detector is configured to process the reflected light from the first and second scanning spots to generate respective first and second data streams; and
wherein the controller circuitry is configured to generate a three-dimensional image signal from the first and second data streams.

Abstract
An optical disk playback device comprises one or more lasers, an optical assembly, an optical detector, and controller circuitry coupled to the optical detector. The optical assembly is configured to direct incident light from the one or more lasers so as to form first and second scanning spots on a surface of an optical disk, and is further configured to direct corresponding reflected light from the first and second scanning spots on the surface of the optical disk to the optical detector. The optical detector is configured to process the reflected light from the first and second scanning spots to generate respective first and second data streams, and the controller circuitry is configured to generate a three-dimensional image signal from the first and second data streams.
