Abstract
An apparatus for processing information is disclosed. The apparatus requests for recording of user data into an information-recording apparatus for recording in an information-recording medium having multiple recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data. The medium has a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of the data area in each of the recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer.
Claims47
An apparatus for processing information, which requests for recording of user data into an information-recording apparatus for recording into an information-recording medium, having a plurality of recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, having a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of said data area in each of said recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, comprising:
- designating means for modifying the data area configured to make a designation to said information-recording apparatus regarding size of the data area for said first recording layer within an extent of an initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium such that the data area to be used for the recording of the user data is allocated to said first recording layer and to said second recording layer.
An apparatus for recording information which makes a recording based on a request from an information-processing apparatus for recording of user data in an information-recording medium having a plurality of recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, and having a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of said data area in each of said recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, comprising:
- means for modifying the data area configured to make a setting regarding the size of the data area for said first recording layer within an extent of an initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium upon receiving a designation of modifying the data area from said information-processing apparatus.
A system for processing information, comprising:
- an apparatus for processing information which requests for recording of user data into an information-recording apparatus for recording in an information-recording medium having a plurality of recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, and having a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of said data area in each of recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, the apparatus for processing information including,
- designating means for modifying the data area configured to make a designation to said information-recording apparatus regarding the size of the data area for said first recording layer within an extent of an initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium such that the data area to be used for the recording of the user data is allocated to said first recording layer and to said second recording layer;
- and
- an apparatus for recording information which makes a recording based on a request from the information-processing apparatus for recording of user data in the information-recording medium having the plural recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, and having the first recording layer to be a reference for determining the position of said data area in said each of the recording layers, and the second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, the apparatus for recording information including,
- means for modifying the data area configured to make a setting regarding the size of the data area for said first recording layer within the extent of the initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium upon receiving a designation of modifying the data area from said information-processing apparatus.
A method of recording information for recording in an information-recording medium having a plurality of recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, and having a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of said data area in said each of the recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, comprising:
- the step of modifying the data area for making a setting regarding the size of the data area for said first recording layer within an extent of an initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium.
A method of recording information for making a recording based on a request from an information-processing apparatus for recording of user data in an information-recording medium having a plurality of recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, and having a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of said data area in said each of the recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, comprising:
- a step of modifying the data area for making a setting regarding the size of the data area for said first recording layer within an extent of an initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium upon receiving a designation of modifying the data area from said information-processing apparatus.
A program for recording information being installed in a computer provided in an information-recording apparatus for making a recording based on a request from an information-processing apparatus for recording of user data in an information-recording medium having a plurality of recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data, and having a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of said data area in said each of the layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer, and causing said computer,
- to execute a function of modifying the data area for making a setting regarding the size of the data area for said first recording layer within an extent of an initial-data area preset for said information-recording medium upon receiving a designation of modifying of the data area from said information-processing apparatus.
