Description

RECORDING ENVIRONMENT IN THE INTRODUCTION OF A CD

The utility model relates to the field of storage and reproduction of information on compact discs.

Known recording medium in the form of a disk, which contains a program area in which at least one program is recorded, a first control area in which the absolute address information of each program recorded in the program area is recorded, and the first control information including the absolute address information all programs recorded in the program area, and a second control area, which is separated from the first control area and in which the second control information is included, including information b attribute indicating attributes mensche at least each program recorded to the program area; the first control area, the program area and the second control area are arranged in the indicated order from the inner edge to the outer edge of the recording medium in the form

/ 3

a disk, wherein address information indicating a recording position of the second control area is recorded in the first control area; the data recorded in the program area is audio data, wherein the attribute information controlled by the second control area is at least one of a group that includes information about the name of the recording medium in the form of a disk, information about the artist, information about the name of the programs , information about the types of programs, the number of the identification code of the recording medium in the form of a disk, and an information message related to the program, RU 2162252.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the recording medium has a program area containing only audio information.

Known recording medium in the form of a compact disc having a program area containing computer and audio information; part of the computer information is located at the beginning of the program area, followed by a section with audio information and at the end there is a section with the main amount of computer information, US 5602815. A CD can be played by both CD players and CD-ROM drives of computers. However, when playing a CD using a CD player, computer data is heard

like loud chaotic sounds; therefore, such discs are equipped with warning instructions in which the consumer is asked not to play individual tracks of the CD, usually the first and last.

A recording medium in the form of a compact disc is also known, comprising a region in which there is audio information and at least one region separated from it that contains computer information; in front of the area with audio information, there is an area containing the start mark of the audio recording, a table with the contents of the program area with audio information and an indication of the presence and location of another start mark of another area containing computer information; after the area with audio information there is a label for the end of the audio recording, and immediately after it is the label for the beginning of the area with computer information; at the end is the end label of all entries, US 5661715.

This technical solution is taken as a prototype of this utility model.

When playing a CD with audio and computer information with an audio player, the area with computer information is not played. However, when playing CDs with

using the computer’s CD-ROM drive, only part of the information is available to the user: either audio information or computer information. The transition from reproducing one information to another requires either removing the disc and re-loading it into the CD-ROM drive, or reconfiguring the computer’s operating system, which is available only to experienced users, despite the fact that the operating system should provide such an opportunity. Simultaneous access to audio and computer information is not possible.

The present utility model is based on solving the problem of providing access to both audio information and computer information when playing CDs using a CD-ROM drive of a computer without reloading the CD or reconfiguring the computer's operating system.

According to a utility model, this problem is solved due to the fact that in the recording medium in the form of a compact disc having a region in which audio information is contained, and at least one region separated from it containing computer information in a region with computer the information introduced an additional section containing a program that controls the playback of information recorded on a CD; in the area with computer information can be entered an additional section containing means

access to inaccessible for general use areas of the Internet.

The applicant has not identified technical solutions that are identical to the claimed utility model, which allows us to conclude that it meets the criterion of "novelty.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

in FIG. 1 - compact disc, view from the side of the optical head;

in FIG. 2 is a section along the radius of a compact disc in a schematic image.

The recording medium is a compact disc 1, which contains a region 2 with audio information and a region 3 containing computer information. Region 3 is separated from region 2 by the label 4 "the end of the recording and the following label 5 -" the beginning of the recording.

Region 3 of the audio recording is preceded by label 6 - “start of recording, region 3 ends with label 7 -“ end of recording. Label 6 contains the table of contents of the audio tracks (Ti, T2, Tz, T4) in region 2, and label 5 contains the table of contents of the files (Ф, Ф2, Фз) available in region 3. Label 5 also contains the command “auto, which launches the program, located on the additional section 8, entered in the area 3. This program provides control over the reproduction of information contained on the CD.

In area 3 with computer information, an additional section (not shown in the drawings) may be introduced containing a means of access (password) to areas of the Internet that are inaccessible for general use.

When the CD 1 is in the audio player, only the audio information contained in region 2 to the mark 4 - “end of recording. The audio player does not reproduce in any way the computer information contained in region 3, since almost any audio player reproduces information only between the first label 6 "start recording and the first label 4" end recording, counting from the center of the disc.

When CD 1 is located in the CD-ROM drive, the computer receives the “auto” command and launches the program contained in additional section 8 in area 3. The main menu for managing information playback appears on the computer display. The user selects the desired audio tracks from region 2 of audio information or files from region 3 of computer information. An additional section, entered in area 3 and containing a password for access to areas of the Internet that are inaccessible for general use, is represented by a separate symbol on the computer display in the corresponding window.

Claims (2)

1. A recording medium in the form of a compact disc, having an area in which audio information is contained, and at least one area separated from it that contains computer information, characterized in that an additional area containing a program is introduced into the area with computer information, controlling the playback of information recorded on a CD. 2. The recording medium according to claim 1, characterized in that an additional area is introduced into the area with computer information containing a means of access to areas of the Internet that are inaccessible for general use.
