Abstract
When an information recording medium recorded with music data files A, B made up of a plurality of data blocks A1-An, B1-Bm of a specified data length is played by the player and copied into the hard disc drive installed in the recorder, if an error associated with the playback or recording by the player or recorder occurs at a point in time te during the copying operation, the error is detected by detection means and, based on the detection result, the control means instructs the player and the recorder to perform second-time playback and recording. The data (B3) associated with the error, not all the data file (B), is copied again. This method reduces the time taken by the copying.
Claims18
A signal processing system in which a data file having a plurality of data blocks of a predetermined data length is transferred from a source to a recorder and recorded in said recorder,
- said signal processing system comprising:
- an abnormality detection means to detect an abnormality in said source or said recorder while the data file is recorded and to output an abnormality detection signal;
- and
- a control means to, when the abnormality detection signal is output from said abnormality detection means, instruct said source to retransfer data beginning with that data block in the data file which was being read at time of abnormality detection or data beginning with a predetermined amount before the data block in the data file associated with the abnormality detection, and at the same time instruct said recorder to resume the recording beginning with at least that data block among thereof retransmitted to said recorder in which the abnormality occurred.
A signal processing system in which a data file having a plurality of data blocks of a predetermined data length is transferred from a source to a recorder and recorded in said recorder,
- said signal processing system comprising:
- a data adding means provided in the source to add address information to each data block and transfer the data blocks to said recorder;
- an abnormality detection means to detect an abnormality in said source or said recorder while the data file is recorded and to output an abnormality detection signal;
- an address determination means to, when the abnormality detection signal is output from said abnormality detection means, determine according to the address information an address of that data block in the data file which was being read at time of abnormality detection;
- and
- a control means to instruct said source to retransfer data beginning with the address determined by said address determination means or an address a predetermined amount before the address determined by said address determination means, and at the same time instruct said recorder to resume the recording beginning with at least that data block among thereof retransmitted to said recorder in which the abnormality occurred.
A signal processing system in which a data file having a plurality of data blocks of a predetermined data length is transferred from a source to a recorder and recorded in said recorder,
- said signal processing system comprising:
- a data adding means provided in the source to add to each data block address information and flag information indicating whether the data block is normal or abnormal and to transfer the data blocks to said recorder;
- an abnormality detection means to detect an abnormality in said source or said recorder while the data file is recorded and to output an abnormality detection signal;
- an address determination means to, when the abnormality detection signal is output from said abnormality detection means, determine according to the address information an address of that data block in the data file which was being read at time of abnormality detection, to decide whether the data block is normal or abnormal according to the flag information, and, when the data block is decided to be abnormal, to detect an address of the abnormal data block according to the address information;
- and
- a control means to instruct said source to retransfer data beginning with the address determined by said address determination means or an address a predetermined amount before the address determined by said address determination means, and at the same time instruct said recorder to resume the recording beginning with at least that data block among thereof retransmitted to said recorder in which the abnormality occurred.
