In at least any one of these regions ( 12 a ), ( 14 a ), and ( 16 a ), multiple pieces of identification information are recorded.

Claims (21)

1. A recording medium comprising:

a lead-in region;

a data-recording region positioned on an outer peripheral region relative to the lead-in region; and

a lead-out region positioned on an outer peripheral region relative to the data-recording region, wherein

a predetermined number of pieces of service identification information are recorded in at least one of the lead-in region, the data-recording region, and the lead-out region, with each one of the pieces being individually complete and serving to identify the service associated therewith that is to be provided by a service provider based on the identified service, wherein

said predetermined number of pieces of service identification information are recorded without break over multiple regions in the lead-in region, the data-recording region, and the lead-out region.

2. A recording medium comprising:

a lead-in region;

a data-recording region positioned on an outer peripheral region relative to the lead-in region; and

a lead-out region positioned on an outer peripheral region relative to the data-recording region, wherein

a predetermined number of pieces of service identification information are recorded in at least one of the lead-in region, the data-recording region, and the lead-out region, with each one of the pieces being individually complete and serving to identify the service associated therewith that is to be provided by a service provider based on the identified service, wherein

4. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein said predetermined number of pieces of the service identification information each have identical contents that all identify a same service and the predetermined number determines a limit as to how many times the same service can be preformed.

5. A recording medium comprising:

a lead-in region;

a data-recording region positioned on an outer peripheral region relative to the lead-in region; and

a lead-out region positioned on an outer peripheral region relative to the data-recording region, wherein

a predetermined number of pieces of service identification information each have different contents that each identify a different service, said service identification information including information particular to said recording medium.

6. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein data is previously recorded in said data-recording region.

7. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein said predetermined number of pieces of service identification information are each recorded in a corresponding unmodulated zone in at least one of the lead-in region, the data-recording region, and the lead-out region.
