Writing system, writing device, and writing method

A writing device that is used for writing data on a recording medium by an information processor apparatus that obtains unwritten data from a device that is performing data writing on the recording medium when a notification is received indicating that the unwritten data was generated, the writing device comprising:

• a first writing unit that includes the recording medium and a memory unit that is different from the recording medium, and, when the unwritten data is generated while writing data on the recording medium of a cartridge accommodated in the first writing device, transmits, to the information processor apparatus, dummy information for inhibiting the unwritten data to be obtained by the information processor apparatus, and writes the unwritten data to the memory unit;
• and
• a second writing unit that writes, on the recording medium, the unwritten data stored in the memory unit when the cartridge is moved from the first writing unit to the second writing unit.

A writing method that executes a writing system that includes a first and a second writing device, and is connected to an information processor apparatus that obtains unwritten data from the writing devices when a report is received indicating that the unwritten data was generated while writing data to a recording medium used by either of the writing devices, the method comprising:

• when the unwritten data is generated while writing data on the recording medium of a cartridge accommodated in the first writing device that includes the recording medium and a memory unit that is different from the recording medium, using the first writing unit to write the unwritten data to the memory unit, and to transmit, to the information processor apparatus, dummy information for inhibiting the unwritten data to be obtained by the information processor apparatus;
• and
• using a second writing unit to write, on the recording medium, the unwritten data stored in the memory unit when the cartridge is moved from the first writing device to the second writing device.
