Disklike recording media, a method for detecting forged disks, an anti-forgery system for performing a true-false judgement based on information collected from the recording media, and a manufacturing apparatus for recording information in the disks
View Patent ↗A recording medium includes first information selected from a plurality of information patterns and second information selected from another plurality of information patterns for the true-false judgement. A true-false judging device performs a statistic analysis when any coincidence is found between the readout combination of the first and second information and registered combination patterns, to identify an inspected recording medium as a forged product based on the result of the statistic analysis.
1. A recording medium used for storing first information and second information, in which:
said first information stored in said recording medium is selected from a first group of true-false judgment patterns prepared beforehand;
said second information stored in said recording medium is selected from a second group of true-false judgment patterns prepared beforehand;
said first information and said second information are independent from each other; and
a combination of said first information and said second information is necessary for performing a true-false judgment to identify a forged product,
wherein said recording medium is a disklike recording medium comprising a first substrate having a thickness of 0.6 mm and having a recording layer; and
said recording medium is a write-once type disk.
2. The recording medium in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said recording medium has a capacity of 4.7 GB.
3. The recording medium in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said first information is recorded in a lead-in area of said recording medium.
4. The recording medium in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said second information is recorded as a bar code.
5. A playback method for an information recording medium which stores first information and second information, in which:
said first information is selected from a first group of true-false judgment patterns prepared beforehand and is recorded data stored in a lead-in area of said information recording medium;
said second information is selected from a second group of true-false judgment patterns prepared beforehand and is a bar code provided on said information recording medium, and
said first information and said second information are independent from each other and prepared as a combination for performing a true-false judgment to identify a forged product;
said playback method comprising:
a first reading step of reading said first information from said lead-in area of said information recording medium; and
a second reading step of reading said second information from said bar code on said information recording medium.
