Appeal No. 1998-1476
Application No. 08/609,234
indicated by the examiner as being directed to allowable subject
matter.
The invention is directed to a recording/reproducing apparatus
having a system controller, a memory and a memory control. More
particularly, the memory control creates, autononomously with respect
to the system controller, a sector data storing area and an additive
storing area in each sector-based data storing area in the memory.
Prescribed data is stored in the additive data storing area in
accordance with the sector-based data which is stored in the sector
data storing area. This prescribed data in the additive data storing
area is at least one of track number, track change information,
identification code of stereo/monaural, emphasis information,
information of inhibit/permit copyright, error information, segment
link information, and running time. The processing load of the
system controller is reduced by storing additive data for sector data
in the memory (a buffer RAM) and releasing the system controller from
the processing load involved in carrying out the address calculation
of the additive data.
Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
