This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/389,445, filed Feb. 15, 1995, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,737,286 on Apr. 7, 1998 which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/983,901, file d Dec. 1, 1992, now abandoned.
The invention relates to an information system comprising a record carrier on which information has been recorded in the form of variations of a first physical parameter and a playback apparatus provided with means for scanning the record carrier by means of a transducer which is responsive to said variations of said first physical parameter, means for recovering the information from a detection signal received from said transducer.
The invention further relates to a record carrier and a play-back apparatus for use in the system.
A system of the type mentioned above is inter alia known as the Compact-Disc system. Normal Compact Discs play on all compatible playback apparatuses. Nowadays recording apparatus are available for copying the information present on a read-only Compact Disc on a recordable disc which can be played on the compatible play-back apparatus.
However some applications , for example audio-visual games, require a so-called "closed system" in which the Compact Disc with the software representing the audio-visual game can only be played on special players and which cannot be copied easily by means of the available recording apparatuses.
In the view of cost price aspects it is desired that know-how of the already existing information systems can be used as much as possible. Therefore it is desired to amend existing information systems as less as possible in order to realize a low-cost "closed information system".
However it should be made very difficult for third parties to copy such special discs by means of existing copying machines. The prior art protection schemes do not meet this requirement, e.g.
rate scrambling/encryption can by copied from disc to disc with a bit copying machine;
special logical errors (to copy protect) in a main and/or subcode channel (of e.g. a Compact Disc) can also be copied with a bit copying machine;
schemes relying on the relation main/subcode channel can also be copied with a bit copying machine.
An object of the invention is to provide a closed information system in which record carriers are used which can be copied less easily.
According to the invention this object is achieved by an information system as defined in the opening paragraph and which is characterized in that said record carrier exhibits second variations of a second physical parameter, which differs from said first physical parameter but which variations are of a of type that are detectable by means of said transducer, and in that the playing apparatus comprises detection means for a detection of a presence of said second variations on the basis of a detection signal received from the transducer, means responsive to the detection means for enabling the recovery of the information in the event that the presence of said second variations is detected.
Due to the fact that a bit copying machine usually only copies the variations of the first physical parameter (which variations represent the information recorded) the variations in the second physical parameter are not copied. Consequently the special discs cannot be copied by the usual type of bit copying machines.
An embodiment of the information system is characterized in that the second variations exhibit a modulation pattern representing a code, that the detection means comprises code recovery means for recovering the said code from the detection signal and means for activating the enabling means in response to the recovery of said code.
The use of a modulation of the variations has the advantage that the presence of the variations of the second physical parameter can be detected more reliably.
An further embodiment of the information system is characterized in that the information recorded is of a type which is recoverable by means of a predetermined data processing, the code represented by the modulation pattern of the second variations indicating the type of data processing to be used for recovering the information, the apparatus being provided with means for setting the recovery means in a mode in which the predetermined data processing indicated by the code recovered is performed.
This embodiment has the advantage that for recovering the information read from the record carrier it is required that the code represented by the modulation pattern is available. So the information can only be recorded by a dedicated play back apparatus, which is able to recover the code. In the event that the information is encrypted or scrambled before it is recorded on the record carrier the code preferably indicate the encryption key or the scramble method respectively.
Although not limited to information system in which optically readable record carrier are used, the system is in particular suitable for this type of information systems.
In an optical record carrier it is relatively simple to provide the track in which the information has been recorded with a track modulation which can be detected by the same radiation beam as used for reading the information.
An embodiment of the information system in which this is realized, is characterized by servo control means for controlling the scanning in order to control at least one scanning parameter to a predetermined value on the basis of a detection signal received from the radiation sensitive detector and which is affected by said second physical parameter, which servo control means having a predetermined frequency bandwidth, said variations of said second physical parameter causes variations in the detection signal which exhibit a frequency spectrum which is located outside the bandwidth of servo control means and outside the frequency spectrum of the signal variations caused by the variations of the first physical parameter.
The variations in the second physical parameter can be in the form of variations in the track position in a direction transverse to the track direction. These variations can be detected on the basis of the tracking error signal.
The variations in the second physical parameter can be in the form of variations in the position of the plane in which the optically readable marks are located. In that event the variations can be detected on the basis of the focus error signal.
The variations in the second physical parameter can also be in the form of a variations in the mean value of the optical readable marks and the intermediate areas located between the optically readable marks. In that event the variations in the second physical parameter can be detected on the basis of variations in the data clock signal recovered during the scanning of the track with a constant linear velocity.
In the event that the record carrier used in the information system is a Compact Disc it is preferred to use an information system which is characterized in that the variations in the second physical parameter result in variations in the detection signal with a frequency substantially corresponding to 22 kHz in the event that the track is scanned with a scanning speed between 1.2 to 1.4 meter per second.
This embodiment has the advantage that it is impossible to copy the special disc on an usual recordable Compact Disc which is provided with a pregroove which exhibits a wobble which results in a tracking error with a frequency of substantial 22 kHz when the pregroove is scanned with a velocity between 1.2 and 1.4 meter per second. Even in the event that it succeeds to record a wobbling pattern of recording marks which corresponds to the wobbling recording marks of the record carrier to be copied, this pattern will not be detectable because of the presence of the wobbling pregroove which is situated in the same frequency range.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9, wherein
FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 2 and 3 show embodiments of record carriers for use in the information system according to the invention,
FIGS. 4 and 5 show embodiments of the information system according to the invention,
FIG. 6 show the positions of the frequency spectra of different signals with respect to one another, and
FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 show embodiments of detection circuits for use in the information system as shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the information system in accordance of the invention. The information system comprises means (not shown) to move a record carrier 1 along a transducer 41, so as to cause a scanning of the record carrier 1. The record carrier exhibits variations of a first physical parameter, which variations represent information recorded on the record carrier 1. The transducer 41 is of a type that is responsive to said variations of said first physical parameters. An information recovery circuit 42 is coupled to an output of the transducer 41 for receiving a detection signal corresponding with the variations of the first physical parameter on the scanned part of the record carrier 1. The information recovery circuit is of an usual type that recovers the information from the said detection signal received.
The record carrier 1 further exhibits variations of a second physical parameter, which variations do not represent the information represented by the variations of the first physical parameters. Which second variations, however are also detectable by the transducer 41. The transducers supplies to a detection circuit 43 a signal corresponding with the variations in the second physical parameter detected by the transducer 41. The detection circuit 43 supplies to a control circuit 44 a control signal indicating whether the detection signal received comprises signal parts which correspond with predetermined variations of the second physical parameter. In response to the receipt of a control signal indicating that the detection signal comprises parts corresponding to said predetermined variations the control circuit 44 supplies to the information recovery circuit 42 an enabling signal for enabling the information recovery. So only in the event that the presence of said variations in said second physical parameter are detected the information recorded on the disc will be recovered. The information recorded on a copy of the record carrier, which copy only exhibits the variations in the first physical parameter, representing the information, can not be recovered.
FIG. 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d show possible embodiments of a record carrier 1 for use in the information system in accordance with the invention, FIG. 1a being a plan view, FIGS. 1b and 1c being highly enlarged plan views of a part 2 of a first and second embodiment of the record carrier 1, and FIG. 1d showing a small part of a sectional view of the part 2 along a line b--b of a third embodiment of the record carrier 1.
In the embodiment of the record carrier 1 shown in FIG. 1b the variations in first physical parameters have the form of optical detectable marks 3 which alternate with intermediate areas 4. The optically detectable marks may be in the form of so-called pits. However also other type of optically detectable marks are suitable. The optically detectable marks are arranged along a track of which the center line is indicated by a reference sign 5. In this embodiment the variations in the second physical parameter are variations of the track position in a direction transverse to the track direction. This position variation has the form of a track undulation, also known as a radial track wobble. Such track wobble can easily be detected by the same beam scanning means as used for the detection of the optically detectable marks 3 as will be discussed in an other part of the description.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1c the variations of the second physical parameter have the form of variations of the width of the optical detectable marks 3. The variations in the width of marks 3 result in a additional intensity modulation in a radiation beam scanning the track. Both the variations in the width of the marks 3 and the information can be recovered on the basis of the intensity modulation, provided that the frequency spectrum of the component caused by the pattern of marks does not overlap the frequency spectrum of the component caused by the mark width variations.
In FIG. 1d the reference sign 6 indicates a transparent substrate. The substrate 6 is covered with a reflective layer 7. The reflective layer 7 is covered by a protective layer 8. The substrate 6 is provided with optically detectable marks 3 in the form of pits. The variations in the second physical parameter are in the form of the variations of the position of the plane in which optically detectable marks 3 are situated. In FIG. 1d different positions of these planes are indicated by lines 9 and 10. When scanning the pattern as shown in FIG. 1d with a focused radiation beam the variations in the plane of the marks 3 result in a focus error which can be detected easily.
FIG. 2 shows the pattern of optically marks 3 and intermediate areas 4 for a fourth embodiment of the record carrier 1 for use in the information system according to the invention. The lengths of the marks 3 and the intermediate areas 4 correspond with a plurality (including one) of bit cells of a signal 20 read from the record carrier. In FIG. 2 this signal 20 is shown for the event that the pattern of marks 3 and areas 4 is scanned with a constant linear velocity. The length T of a bit cell corresponds with the period T of the data clock of the signal. In the track parts indicated by reference sign 21 a bit cell is represented by a track part with a length L1, while in the track part indicated by reference sign 22 a bit cell is represented by a track part with a length L2, which is shorter than length L1. In other words the mean length of the marks 3 and areas 4 for the track parts 21 differs from the mean length of the marks 3 and areas 4 in the track parts 22. In the event that the track is scanned with a constant linear velocity and the data clock is recovered from the signal 20 read, the variations in the mean value of the length of the marks 3 and areas 4 results in variations of the frequency of the recovered data clock.
FIG. 3 shows a fifth embodiment of a record carrier for use in the information system according to the invention. In this embodiment the tracks are divided in groups a and b. The track pitch d1 in group a as well as the track pitch d2 of the tracks in group b is constant within the respective group. The track pitch d2, however, is greater than the track pitch d1. This difference in track pitch can be easily detected when the tracks are scanned by a radiation beam as is described in detail in GB-PS 1,516,285 which document is hereby incorporated in the description by reference. The presence of the variations in the track pitch can be easily detected when a scanning beam is moved in radial direction over the record carrier 1.
FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of an optical information system in accordance with the invention in more detail.
The system is provided with a rotating drive motor 50 mechanically coupled with the record carrier 1 so as to cause a rotation of the record carrier about an axis 51. In doing so the record carrier is moved along a transducer in the form of an optical read head 52 of an usual type. The optical head 52 comprises a radiation source 53 for example in the form of a semiconductor laser for generating a laser beam 54. The beam 54 is directed by an optical system of an usual type to a radiation sensitive detector 55 via the record carrier 1. The laser beam is modulated in accordance with the variations of the first and second parameters. These modulations are detected by the detector 55 and detection signals corresponding to these modulations are available on output of the detector 55. The detection signals on the output of the detector 55 are supplied to a circuit 56 of a usual type which derives a focus error signal FE and an tracking error signal RE from these detection signals. The focus error signal FE is supplied to a focus control circuit 57 which derives from this focus error signal an energizing signal for an focus actuator 58 such that a focal point 59a of the beam 54 is maintained in a plane of the record carrier in which the optically detectably marks 3 are located. The detector 55 the circuit 56 the focus control circuit 57 and the focus actuator form a focus servo system of an usual type.
The tracking error signal RE is supplied to a tracking control circuit 59 which derives from the tracking error signal RE an energizing signal for a tracking actuator 60 arranged to move the beam 54 in radial direction in response to the energizing signal so as to maintain the beam substantially directed to the center of the track 5. The detector 55, the circuit 56 and the tracking control circuit form a tracking servo system of usual type. The detection signals on the output of the detector are also supplied to an information recovery circuit 61.
Further the playback apparatus is provided with scanning velocity control means for maintaining the scanning velocity on a substantial constant value. The scanning velocity control means may comprise a circuit 63, for example a phase locked loop circuit of an usual type, for recovering the data clock from the detection signals on the output of the detector 55. The frequency of the data clock is a measure for the scanning velocity. A signal indicating the data clock frequency is supplied to a motor control circuit 64 for energizing the motor 50 such that the frequency of the recovered data clock is maintained on a substantial constant value. It is to be noted that the scanning velocity servo system can also be realized in other manners, for example as often realized in compact disc players on the basis of the filling grade of a so-called FIFO-buffer in which the information read out is temporarily stored.
In the event that the record carrier 1 is of the type as shown in FIG. 1b the tracking error signal exhibit a signal component which is caused by the radial wobble. For a detailed explanation of this phenomena reference is made to EP-A-0,299,573 and EP-A-0,325,330 which documents herewith are incorporated in the description by reference. The frequency of the radial wobble should be selected such that the frequency of the signal component caused by the wobble is situated outside the bandwidth of the tracking servo loop and outside the frequency spectrum of the information. FIG. 6 shows as illustration the position of the frequency spectrum 31 of the signal component caused by the radial wobble situated between the bandwidth 32 of the tracking servo and the frequency spectrum 30 of the information recorded on the record carrier.
The signal component in the tracking error signal RE caused by the radial wobble is detected by a detection circuit 62. This detection circuit 62 may be of a type as disclosed in detail in the documents EP-A-0,299,573 and EP-A-0,325,330.
The radial wobble may be a wobble with a constant frequency and constant amplitude. In that case the detection circuit may be of a type as shown in FIG. 7. The detection circuit shown in FIG. 7 comprises a band pass filter 70 tuned to the frequency of the signal component caused by the radial wobble. The input of the band pass filter 70 is coupled to the circuit 56 so as to receive the tracking error signal RE. The output of the band filter 70 is coupled to an input of a rectifying circuit 71 for rectifying the signal component filtered out by the filter 70. The rectified signal component is supplied to a comparator 72 for comparing the rectified signal with a reference value REF.
In the event that the rectified component exceeds the reference value REF the comparator generates an enabling signal which is supplied to the information recovery circuit for enabling the recovery of the information from the detection signals on the output of the detector 55.
So only in the event that the detection circuit 61 detects a signal component of a predetermined frequency caused by the radial wobble the information recovery is enabled. In case of an absence of this component the information recovery is maintained disabled. This means that the information recorded on a record carrier without a radial wobble with said predetermined frequency cannot be recovered.
Instead of a radial wobble with a constant frequency and constant amplitude it is preferred to use radial wobbles which exhibit a modulation which represent a code. Such modulation may be of a type as for example as disclosed in EPA-0,299,573 or a FM-modulation as disclosed in EP-A-0,325,330.
In the event that a modulated radial wobble is used the detection circuit 62 may be of a type as disclosed in the said EP-documents. FIG. 8 shows in principle such type of detection circuit 62. This detection circuit comprises a band pass filter 80 tuned to the frequency of the radial wobble. The input of the filter 80 is coupled to the circuit 56 so as to receive the tracking error signal RE. The output of the filter 80 is supplied to a demodulation circuit 81 for recovering the code represented by the modulated wobble. The code recovered by the demodulation circuit 81 is supplied to a comparator circuit 82 for comparing the code recovered with a predetermined code. The comparator circuit 82 is of a type that generates an enabling signal for the recovery circuit 61 in the event that the code recovered by the demodulation circuit 81 corresponds with the said predetermined code.
The information recovery circuit 61 may be of an usual type which may be enabled by means of an enabling signal.
It may be preferably to record encrypted or scrambled information on the record carrier which can only be recovered using a predetermined encryption or descrambling key code. In that event it is preferred to represent the descrambling or encryption code by the modulation of the track wobble. The information recovery circuit should then provided with a descrambling or a de-encryption circuit for de-encrypt or descramble the information using the code directly received from the demodulation circuit 81. An example of such information recovery circuit is shown in FIG. 9, which information recovery circuit comprises a demodulation and error correction circuit 90 of an usual type for the recovery of information which has been encoded for example in accordance with a Compact Disc standard. The output signal of the circuit 90 is supplied to a descrambling or de-encryption circuit 91 of an usual type which descrambles or de-encrypts the information in conformity of the code directly received from the demodulation circuit 81.
For copying Compact Discs often a so-called recordable Compact Disc is used which is provided with a pregroove exhibiting a radial wobble which cause a signal component in the radial error signal with a frequency which substantially corresponds with a value of 22 kHz when the record carrier is scanned with a nominal scanning velocity of 1.2 to 1.4 meter per second. Said recordable Compact Disc is in detail disclosed in EP-A-0,325,330 already mentioned.
In order to prevent that a radial wobble copied from a Compact disc with a modulate radial wobble it is preferred that the radial wobble on the compact Disc to be copied has a frequency which substantially corresponds with the frequency of the radial wobble of the pregroove on the recordable Compact Disc. In that case the frequency spectra of both wobbles overlap and the wobbles cannot be distinguished from one another any more.
The embodiments described in the preceding are suitable to be used in combination of record carriers which exhibit a track wobble as shown in FIG. 1b.
The same circuitry can be used in the event that a record carrier is used as shown in FIG. 1d. When using that type of record carrier a signal component in the focus error signal is caused instead of in the tracking error signal. In that case the focus error signal should be supplied to the detection circuit 62 instead of the tracking error signal RE.
In the event that a record carrier is used of a type as shown in FIG. 2 the frequency of the data clock recovered by circuit 63 exhibits variations. In that event a signal indicative of these variations in the data clock frequency should be supplied to the detection circuit 62.
The detector 55, the circuit 63, the motor circuit 64 and the motor 50 form a scanning velocity control system. For a proper operation the variations in the data clock frequency should be situated outside the bandwidth of the scanning velocity servo. In the preceding the invention is described for use in combination of optical information systems. However it is to be noted that in principle the invention is also applicable for other type of information systems such as magnetic information systems. In such systems a magnetic record carrier may be provided with a wobbling track. Both the magnetic information pattern and the track wobble can be detected by the same magnetic read head.
