Abstract
An optical disc has a storage storing addresses of information parts for forwardly reproducing, and the information parts are divided at every information unit. A first table and a second table are provided. The first table stores an address of a last information part of each information unit, and the second table stores an address of an information part to be reversely reproduced next. Reverse reproduction of information parts is performed by retrieving the data stored in the first and second tables.
Claims2
An information reproducing system for an optical disc on which a plurality of information data are recorded, each of the information data comprising a plurality of information parts, each of the information parts having a pointer number, the system comprising:
- a first table storing pointer numbers arranged in a forward reproducing direction for every information part;
- a second table storing pointer numbers arranged in a reverse reproducing direction for every information part, the arrangement of the pointer numbers in the second table being performed by reversely arranging the pointer numbers stored in the first table for a corresponding information data;
- and
- reproducing means for fast reproducing the information parts in the reverse direction by retrieving the pointer numbers stored in the second table.
