Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable storage media for disc identification are disclosed. A first disc format may be identified by matching a sequence of symbols on a disc to format data. Content stored on the disc in a first location that is used to generate IDs for the first disc format may be referenced, and the content processed to generate an ID for the disc. The first location can be identified by referencing ID processing data that also identifies other locations used to generate IDs for different disc formats. Portions of the content that are accessed can include directory names, folder names, or file names.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a first format of a disc by locating a specific sequence of symbols on the disc and matching the specific sequence of symbols on the disc to format data, the format data indicating a plurality of disc formats and corresponding symbols that identify individual disc formats including the first format;
- referencing content stored on the disc in a first location that is used to generate identifications for the first format, the first location being identified by referencing identification (ID) processing data that also identifies other locations that are used to generate identifications for disc formats other than the first format;
- and
- processing the content stored on the disc in the first location to generate an identification for the disc.
A computing device having a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a first format of a disc by locating a specific sequence of symbols on the disc and matching the specific sequence of symbols on the disc to format data, the format data indicating a plurality of disc formats and corresponding symbols that identify individual disc formats including the first format;
- referencing content stored on the disc in a first location that is used to generate identifications for the first format, the first location being identified by referencing identification (ID) processing data that also identifies other locations that are used to generate identifications for disc formats other than the first format;
- and
- processing the content stored on the disc in the first location to generate an identification for the disc.
A hardware computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform acts comprising:
- identifying a first format of a first disc by locating a first specific sequence of symbols on the first disc and matching the first specific sequence of symbols on the first disc to format data, the format data indicating a plurality of disc formats and corresponding symbols that identify individual disc formats including the first format and a second disc format;
- referencing first content stored on the first disc in a first location that is used to generate first identifications for the first format, the first location being identified by referencing identification (ID) processing data that also identifies a second location that is used to generate second identifications for the second format;
- and
- processing the first content stored on the first disc in the first location to generate a first identification for the first disc.
