DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention is capable of recording and reproducing from various discs,
Alternatively, the present invention relates to a read-only optical disc, which is characterized by a disc identification mark attached to a preliminary disc for identifying the type of the optical disc by an apparatus using the optical disc.

Conventional configuration and its problems Conventionally, there are few types of discs on sale, but
For example, it is expected that various types of discs such as documents, data, still images, video and audio will appear. Further, in the case of an optical disc, the user can directly touch it, so that the disc becomes dirty and scratched, making it difficult to detect the identification mark.

The identification mark has already been proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 59-16518. The identification mark shown in this conventional example is the first

In FIG. 1, a is the diameter of the disc 1, b is the diameter of the center hole of the disc, c is an information recording band for recording information such as data and video signals, and d is a disc with a mark for identifying the type of disc. It is an identification band. Address signals and the like of each recording track are recorded on 2a and 2b. Reference numeral 3 is a disc identification mark, and the number and arrangement of the marks differ depending on the type of disc.

After reading the identification mark and identifying the disc type,
A reproduction or recording operation suitable for the disk, for example, switching of the feed speed of the optical head, switching of the signal detection circuit, switching of special operation, etc. are performed.

Although such a conventional mark 3 can be identified by a simple circuit, if the identification band is soiled or scratched, a mark due to a scratch or the like will be misread as a correct mark and the subsequent operation will not be performed. Originally, since the position of the mark 3 and the position of the address 2a coincided with each other, the mark 3 was detected, the address signal was read based on the position, and the position of the optical head was known. If misread as a correct mark, the address signal cannot be read because the position of the optical head becomes unknown and the subsequent operation cannot occur.
It becomes impossible to read information such as video signals.

Optical discs, like ordinary audio records, allow the user to directly touch the disc,
There is a good chance that the identification band will also become soiled or scratched. FIG. 2 shows a configuration for detecting the identification mark, FIG. 3 shows a circuit diagram for detecting the identification mark, and FIG. 4 shows a detection mark detection waveform.

Disk 1 is a turntable 5 fixed to a motor 4

A photocoupler 6 composed of an LED 7 for emitting light and a detector 8 for receiving light is placed below. The light of the LED 7 is applied to the identification band, the reflected light is detected by the detector 8, the change in the reflectance of the mark is converted into an electric signal, and the output 9 is obtained.

As shown in FIG. 3, the detection circuit applies a current to the LED 7 to cause it to emit light, and the light reflected by the disk is detected by the photodetector 8,
Get the output 9. The output waveform of the photodetector 8 is as shown in FIG. 4, and the output voltage is low because the reflectance is low at the mark portion, and is high at other portions. Further, after waveform shaping, a pulse 11 is obtained at the mark position as shown in FIG.

However, the recording film deposited on the disk has a large change in reflectance, and if it is further soiled or scratched, the output waveform will detect a signal 13 similar to the identification mark 12 as shown in FIG. Depending on the timing, the wrong mark 15 is incorrectly read as the correct identification mark 14 and there is a problem that the data and video signal on the disc cannot be read.

In particular, this mark is used as the rotation standard of the disk, and if only one mark originally appears at several places, normal rotation will not be achieved. If the mark detection circuit is not operated for a time slightly shorter than the time corresponding to one rotation,
Only one pulse is obtained per revolution, but it is difficult to electrically judge whether the obtained pulse is a correct identification mark. In this case, the rotation of the motor becomes normal, but the timing of signal recording or reproduction is incorrect, which is a problem.

The mark 17 is recorded at a constant cycle except for a part of the circumference. The part 18 where there is no mark is for indicating the reference position, and is omitted by an integral number of marks.

FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of a disc identification mark detection circuit according to the present invention. The disc identification mark recorded on the disc 1 is read by the photocoupler 19, the direct current component, that is, the portion corresponding to the average value of the reflectance of the disc is removed by the AC coupling circuit 20, and it is obtained when the disc is rotated by the tuning circuit 21. The frequency component that is tuned and amplified, and the detection circuit 22
To convert the amplitude of the AC signal into an AC component,
And the level comparison circuit 23.

By latching its output 26 with the latch 25,
An identification output 27 as to whether the used disc is suitable for a reproducing apparatus is output, and at the same time, a reference signal output 26 of information recorded on the disc is output.

周波数は1.5kHzになる。
Now, assuming that the number of marks 17 is 50 for one round (assuming that there are marks even in the part where the marks are partially missing), and the rotation speed of the disk is 30 rps, the frequency of the identification mark detected is 1.5. It becomes kHz.

すれば交流結合部分では1.5kHzが十分通過できるカット
オフ周波数を持つフィルターとし、同調回路の同調周波
数は当然1.5kHzとする。
If the device fits a disk with 50 marks per round, the filter should have a cut-off frequency that allows 1.5kHz to pass through sufficiently in the AC coupling section, and the tuning frequency of the tuning circuit should be 1.5kHz.

Since the output of the tuning circuit 21 becomes small if the disc has other numbers of different marks, the voltage becomes lower than the reference voltage at the input side of the level comparator 23, and the output is opposite to the conforming disc and can be discriminated as the nonconforming disc. .

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, since marks are recorded at a constant cycle on almost the entire circumference of the disc, AC coupling and AC amplification are possible in the detection circuit. This means that the DC component can be removed, so that the variation in the reflectance of the disk or the unevenness of the reflectance can be almost ignored, and the detection circuit can be greatly simplified.

In the case of comparison with the conventional DC level, it is necessary to separately read the base level and the maximum value of the detection output among the detection outputs of the photocoupler and give them to the comparison circuit for shaping the waveform of the mark.

It was also directly affected by scratches on the disc. However, in the present invention, since AC amplification is performed and a tuning circuit is passed,
The reliability of disc identification is high because it is unlikely to be affected by reflection irregularities and scratches on the disc outside the tuning frequency.

また、ディスクの種類をマークの数を変えるだけで区

In addition, since the type of disc can be distinguished only by changing the number of marks, it is easy to change the encoder when creating the disc and it is easy to deal with it.
