Abstract
According to this invention, general addresses are given to a multi-layer information storage medium to facilitate handing of information. That is, it is possible to set generalized addresses for multiple information layers, and information indicating a condition for setting the general addresses, e.g., the contents of a disk ID zone in a rewritable zone of a lead-in area, is recorded on an information reproducing layer.
Claims15
A multi-purpose information processing apparatus comprising:
- an information input section which inputs information;
- an information processing section which performs predetermined information processing on the information input by the information input section;
- an information display section which displays results of information processing in the information processing section;
- and
- a recording medium loading section which receives a removable information recording medium and reads information from the information recording medium, wherein:
- the information input section, the information processing section, the information display section and the recording medium loading section are dispersedly arranged in at least three flat bodies;
- the flat bodies are movably coupled together in such a way that the flat bodies can assume a stacked state and an expanded state;
- information can be input and displayed when the flat bodies are expanded and the information input section and the information display section are exposed;
- and
- an information recording medium can be inserted/removed from the recording medium loading section when the flat bodies are stacked and the recording medium loading section is exposed on a major surface of at least one of the flat bodies.
