Abstract

A storing unit stores initial parameters indicating initial values of control parameters in a first storage medium in association with first update parameters obtained by modifying the initial parameters. A difference detecting unit compares, when second update parameters are stored in a second storage medium, the initial parameters with the second update parameters, and detects a parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters. An initialization unit initializes the first update parameters based on a result of detection by the difference detecting unit.

Claims (25)

1 . A device for controlling a data recording or a data reproducing based on control parameters stored in a first recording medium or a second recording medium, the device comprising:

a storing unit that stores initial parameters indicating initial values of the control parameters in a first storage medium in association with first update parameters obtained by modifying the initial parameters;

a difference detecting unit that compares, when second update parameters are stored in a second storage medium, the initial parameters with the second update parameters, and detects a parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters; and

an initialization unit that initializes the first update parameters based on a result of detection by the difference detecting unit.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the initialization unit initializes a parameter of the first updated parameters corresponding to the parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters.

3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the initialization unit stores initialized first update parameters in the first storage device in association with the initial parameters.

4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the initialization unit stores the second update parameters in the first storage medium as the initial parameters.

5 . A method of controlling a data recording or a data reproducing based on control parameters stored in a first recording medium or a second recording medium, the method comprising:

storing initial parameters indicating initial values of the control parameters in a first storage medium in association with first update parameters obtained by modifying the initial parameters;

difference detecting including

comparing, when second update parameters are stored in a second storage medium, the initial parameters with the second update parameters, and

detecting a parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters; and

initializing the first update parameters based on a result of detection at the difference detecting.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the initializing includes initializing a parameter of the first updated parameters corresponding to the parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the initializing includes storing initialized first update parameters in the first storage device in association with the initial parameters.

8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the initializing includes storing the second update parameters in the first storage medium as the initial parameters.

9 . A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program for controlling a data recording or a data reproducing based on control parameters stored in a first recording medium or a second recording medium, the computer program causing a computer to execute:

storing initial parameters indicating initial values of the control parameters in a first storage medium in association with first update parameters obtained by modifying the initial parameters;

difference detecting including

comparing, when second update parameters are stored in a second storage medium, the initial parameters with the second update parameters, and

detecting a parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters; and

initializing the first update parameters based on a result of detection at the difference detecting.

10 . The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the initializing includes initializing a parameter of the first updated parameters corresponding to the parameter that is different between the initial parameters and the second update parameters.

11 . The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the initializing includes storing initialized first update parameters in the first storage device in association with the initial parameters.

12 . The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , wherein the initializing includes storing the second update parameters in the first storage medium as the initial parameters.
