Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is an optical disk barcode forming method wherein, as information to be barcoded, position information for piracy prevention, which is a form of ID, is coded as a barcode and is recorded by laser trimming on a reflective film in a PCA area of an optical disk. When playing back the thus manufactured optical disk on a reproduction apparatus, the barcode data can be played back using the same optical pickup.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
A method of manufacturing an optical information storage medium, comprising the steps of: forming at least one optical information storage medium; forming a reflective film on said formed optical information storage medium; applying at least one marking to said reflective film; detecting at least one position of said marking, encrypting said detected position and writing said encrypted position onto said optical information storage medium, wherein, when encrypting and writing, at least said encrypted position is converted into a barcode, and said barcode is written by selectively irradiating laser light to said reflective film on said optical information storage medium on which data is recorded, all or part of said barcode being written in overwriting fashion to a prescribed region of an information signal area on said optical information storage medium.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 130 words
A method of manufacturing an optical information storage medium, comprising the steps of: forming at least one optical information storage medium; forming a reflective film on said formed optical information storage medium; applying at least one marking to said reflective film; detecting at least one position of said marking, encrypting said detected position and writing said encrypted position onto said optical information storage medium, wherein, when encrypting and writing, at least said encrypted position is converted into a barcode, and said barcode is written by selectively irradiating laser light to said reflective film on said optical information storage medium on which data is recorded, all or part of said barcode being written in overwriting fashion to a prescribed region of an information signal area on said optical information storage medium.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 139 words
A method of manufacturing an optical information storage medium, comprising the steps of: forming at least one optical information storage medium; forming a reflective film on said formed optical information storage medium; applying at least one marking to said reflective film; detecting at least one position of said marking; and applying a digital signature to said detected position information and writing onto said optical information storage medium, wherein, when applying said digital signature and writing, at least a result of said digital signature is converted into a barcode, and said barcode is written by selectively irradiating laser light to said reflective film on said optical information storage medium on which data is recorded, all or part of said barcode being written in overwriting fashion to a prescribed region of an information signal area on said optical information storage medium.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 139 words
A method of manufacturing an optical information storage medium, comprising the steps of: forming at least one optical information storage medium; forming a reflective film on said formed optical information storage medium; applying at least one marking to said reflective film; detecting at least one position of said marking; and applying a digital signature to said detected position information and writing onto said optical information storage medium, wherein, when applying said digital signature and writing, at least a result of said digital signature is converted into a barcode, and said barcode is written by selectively irradiating laser light to said reflective film on said optical information storage medium on which data is recorded, all or part of said barcode being written in overwriting fashion to a prescribed region of an information signal area on said optical information storage medium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 54 words
A method of manufacturing an optical information storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein said optical information storage medium having a control data area for recording physical characteristic information of said optical information storage medium and an identifier for indicating the presence or absence of said barcode, recorded in said control data area.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 54 words
A method of manufacturing an optical information storage medium according to claim 2 , wherein said optical information storage medium having a control data area for recording physical characteristic information of said optical information storage medium and an identifier for indicating the presence or absence of said barcode, recorded in said control data area.
