Abstract
A cartridge memory is a cartridge memory used in a magnetic tape cartridge, including: an antenna unit; a storage unit that stores data; and a control unit that reads the data from the storage unit in response to a request from a recording/reproduction apparatus, adds an error correction code to the data, and transmits the obtained data via the antenna unit.
Claims14
A cartridge memory used in a magnetic tape cartridge, comprising:
- an antenna unit;
- a storage unit that stores data;
- and
- a control unit that reads the data from the storage unit in response to a request from a recording/reproduction apparatus, adds an error correction code to the data, and transmits the obtained data via the antenna unit,
- wherein the control unit
- adds, where a motor of the recording/reproduction apparatus is driven, the error correction code to the data and transmits the obtained data via the antenna unit, and
- transmits, where the motor of the recording/reproduction apparatus is not driven, the data via the antenna unit without adding the error correction code to the data.

A method of controlling a cartridge memory used in a magnetic tape cartridge, comprising:
- reading data from a storage unit in response to a request from a recording/reproduction apparatus;
- adding an error correction code to the data, and transmitting the obtained data via an antenna unit;
- adding, where a motor of the recording/reproduction apparatus is driven, the error correction code to the data and transmitting the obtained data via the antenna unit;
- and
- transmitting, where the motor of the recording/reproduction apparatus is not driven, the data via the antenna unit without adding the error correction code to the data.

A cartridge memory used in a recording medium cartridge, comprising:
- an antenna unit;
- a storage unit that stores data;
- and
- a control unit that reads the data from the storage unit in response to a request from a recording/reproduction apparatus, adds an error correction code to the data, and transmits the obtained data via the antenna unit,
- wherein the control unit
- adds, where a motor of the recording/reproduction apparatus is driven, the error correction code to the data and transmits the obtained data via the antenna unit, and
- transmits, where the motor of the recording/reproduction apparatus is not driven, the data via the antenna unit without adding the error correction code to the data.

- a storage unit that stores data;
- and
- a control unit that reads the data from the storage unit in response to a request from a recording/reproduction apparatus, adds an error correction code to the data, and transmits the obtained data via the antenna unit,
- wherein the control unit has
- a first communication mode in which the data is transmitted at a first communication speed, and
- a second communication mode in which the data is transmitted at a second communication speed higher than the first communication speed,
- wherein the control unit transmits the data in the first communication mode without adding the error correction code to the data, and
- wherein the control unit adds the error correction code to the data and transmits the obtained data in the second communication mode.
