Abstract

Abstract An information data recovering apparatus which recovers the original information data from transmitted data of (2, 7, 1, 2, 3) Run Length Limited code to which the original data is converted. When 7 successive "0"-bits of a train of transmitted data are input to the apparatus, bit data at a position spaced by a predetermined number of bits from that time is converted as the head of original data and the input transmitted data subsequent to the bit data is converted to the original data.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 158 words
An information data recovering apparatus which recovers original information data from transmitted data of (2, 7, 1, 2, 3) Run Length Limited code to which the original information data has previously been converted, comprising: (a) means for receiving the transmitted data and detecting the data pattern of a train of n data bits of the input transmitted data, where n is an integer of 7 or more; (b) determination means for outputting a determination signal when a train of data bits having a data pattern including 7 successive data "0"-bits is detected by the receiving and detecting means; and (c) means for converting the input transmitted data to the original information data when the determination means outputs the determination signal, such that a bit, which is at a position spaced by a predetermined number of bits from the bit being input at a time the determination signal is output, is a border bit of the original information data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 158 words
An information data recovering apparatus which recovers original information data from transmitted data of (2, 7, 1, 2, 3) Run Length Limited code to which the original information data has previously been converted, comprising: (a) means for receiving the transmitted data and detecting the data pattern of a train of n data bits of the input transmitted data, where n is an integer of 7 or more; (b) determination means for outputting a determination signal when a train of data bits having a data pattern including 7 successive data "0"-bits is detected by the receiving and detecting means; and (c) means for converting the input transmitted data to the original information data when the determination means outputs the determination signal, such that a bit, which is at a position spaced by a predetermined number of bits from the bit being input at a time the determination signal is output, is a border bit of the original information data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 69 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the converting means comprises: (d) a delay circuit for delaying the determination signal output from the determination means by a predetermined bit interval; and (e) a decode circuit for starting to decode the transmitted data in accordance with the input of the determination signal when the determination signal delayed by the delay circuit is input to the decode circuit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the delay circuit is arranged to delay the determination signal output from the determination means by a 4-bit interval.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 29 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the delay circuit is arranged to delay the determination signal output from the determination means by a 2-bit interval.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 50 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the decode circuit is arranged such that it receives a reset signal different from the determination signal added to the train of transmitted data to start to decode the transmitted data in accordance with the input of the reset signal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 138 words
An information data recovering apparatus which recovers original information data from transmitted data of (2, 7, 1, 2, 3) Run Length Limited code to which the original information data has previously been converted, comprising: (a) detection means for receiving the transmitted data, detecting data consisting of 7 successive "0"-bits and outputting a detection signal when the data consisting of 7 successive "0"-bits is detected; (b) data conversion means for converting the transmitted data to original information data in one-to-one correspondence to a data train pattern of the transmitted data; and (c) control means for controlling the data conversion means so that the data conversion means converts said transmitted data such that the bit being input at a predetermined bit interval after the detection signal is output from the detection means, is a border bit of said transmitted data.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 138 words
An information data recovering apparatus which recovers original information data from transmitted data of (2, 7, 1, 2, 3) Run Length Limited code to which the original information data has previously been converted, comprising: (a) detection means for receiving the transmitted data, detecting data consisting of 7 successive "0"-bits and outputting a detection signal when the data consisting of 7 successive "0"-bits is detected; (b) data conversion means for converting the transmitted data to original information data in one-to-one correspondence to a data train pattern of the transmitted data; and (c) control means for controlling the data conversion means so that the data conversion means converts said transmitted data such that the bit being input at a predetermined bit interval after the detection signal is output from the detection means, is a border bit of said transmitted data.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 67 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the data conversion means includes a memory which stores information data in one-to-one correspondence to the data train pattern of the transmitted data and that the memory is arranged such that when transmitted data is input to the memory, the memory outputs information data stored in one-to-one correspondence to the data train pattern of the transmitted data.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 67 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the data conversion means includes a logic circuit for outputting information data in one-to-one correspondence to the data train pattern of the transmitted data and that the logic circuit is arranged so that when transmitted data is input, the logic circuit outputs information data in one-to-one correspondence to the data train pattern of the input transmitted data.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 43 words
An information recovering apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control means includes a delay circuit for (1) delaying the detection signal output from the detection means by the predetermined bit interval, and (2) supplying the delayed signal to the data conversion means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 26 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the delay circuit is arranged so as to delay the detection signal by a 4-bit interval.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 26 words
An information data recovering apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the delay circuit is arranged so as to delay the detection signal by a 2-bit interval.
