In addition, data recording and printing can be appropriately performed to issue a plurality of recorded disks.

By the way, when a new disk is created by using an image file recorded on the copy source disk, the same disk as the copy source can be created. Therefore, it is preferable to use the image file as copy original data. However, in general, the image file cannot be developed on the host device 3 side, and the contents of the image file cannot be directly confirmed.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, data is read from the data-recorded disc in a corresponding file format that can be expanded by the control unit 23 of the host device 3, and the image file is read and stored in the storage device 24 (hereinafter referred to as a file). , Which is called “duplicate data creation process”).

This duplication data creation process is executed by functions of the information acquisition unit 51, the information processing unit 52, the display control unit 53, and the like included in the control unit 23.
In this case, the control unit 23 executes functions of the information acquisition unit 51, the information processing unit 52, the display control unit 53, and the like by executing the program of the management application 31 stored in the storage device 24. An operation screen GM for inputting instructions is displayed. Then, in accordance with the user instruction input via the input unit 21, the replication data creation process is started.
Note that the recorded disc as a duplication source is conveyed to the disc drive 13 by the autoloader 15.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation screen GM.
This operation screen GM is an operation screen GM0 for data creation processing for duplication, and is roughly divided into a work content selection area AR1 for receiving work content selection instructions (“disc”, “label”, “issue”); A setting area ARA for performing various settings relating to disk reading is provided.
In the work content selection area AR1, an image G1 indicated by “Disc” functions as an operation button for instructing switching to an operation screen related to the recording surface of the disc (such as the operation screen GM0 shown in FIG. 3). The image G2 functions as an operation button for instructing switching to an operation screen (hereinafter referred to as a “print content confirmation screen”) GM1 (FIG. 6 to be described later) relating to the disc label surface.

An image G3 indicated by “Issuance” is an operation button for instructing switching to an operation screen (hereinafter referred to as “combination confirmation screen”) GM3 (not shown) for confirming both (recording) and printing contents (combination). Function as.
Of the images G1 to G3 indicated by the “disc”, “label”, and “issue”, one image G1 to G3 corresponding to the currently displayed operation screens GM1 to GM3 is different from other images in color and density. Etc. are displayed in different modes, and the user is notified of the operation screen currently being displayed. In FIG. 3, the image G1 indicated by “Disc” is displayed in a darker color than the other images G2 and G3.

In the setting area ARA, items (“file copy”, “create disk image”) K1 and K2 for setting the read operation and file (data) read when the item “file copy” K1 is selected. A designated area K3 for designating a designated folder as a destination and a designated area K4 for designating a folder path as a storage destination for the read data are displayed.
The item “file copy” K1 is an item for selecting whether or not to read a file of the corresponding file format from the disc, and is selected depending on whether or not the check box CKA in the operation screen GM0 is checked.
The item K2 (“create disc image”) is an item for selecting whether or not to read an image file from the disc, and is selected depending on whether or not the check box CKB in the operation screen GM0 is checked.
In FIG. 3, an item K5 is an item for selecting whether to create a folder for each disk. The check box CKC is selected depending on whether or not it is checked.
The check boxes CKA to CKC and various user operations described below are performed via the input unit 21.

A designated folder is input to the designated area K3 by the user. In the designated area K4, a storage destination (folder path) is input by the user. More specifically, when the operation button GD1 indicated by “reference” in the operation screen GM0 is operated by the user, the control unit 23 reads data indicating the folder structure of the storage device 24 and pops up on the display unit 22. The user can specify a desired storage location based on the display contents.
The storage destination can also be input by directly inputting characters into the designated area K4. In this case, when the operation button GD2 indicated by “Apply” in the operation screen GM0 is operated after the storage destination is input, the control unit 23 determines the storage destination.
In addition, the input method to each area | region K3, K4 can apply a well-known input method widely.

In the following description, it is assumed that the user has designated the storage destination folder FF (see FIG. 3) in the storage device 24 as the storage destination of the data read from the disk.
After various settings for reading are performed on the operation screen GM0, when the user gives an instruction to start reading data, the control unit 23 starts a replication data creation process as a reading process. The operation button for instructing the start of data reading is displayed, for example, in a combination confirmation screen GM3 (not shown) that is switched and displayed by operating the image G3 indicated by “Issuance” in the operation screen GM.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the duplication data creation process. As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that all of the items K1 to K3 are selected. The copy source disk is transported from the designated stacker 12 to the disk drive 13 by the autoloader 15.
First, the control unit 23 determines whether or not a designated folder is designated (step S101). In this case, the control unit 23 determines that the designated folder is designated when the item K1 (“file copy”) is selected and the designated folder is input in the designated area K3.
When the designated folder is designated (step S101; YES), the control unit 23 searches whether or not the designated folder is recorded on the disc in the disc drive 13, and if found, corresponds to the designated folder. The corresponding file format is read and stored in the save destination folder FF (step S102). If the designated folder is not designated (when the item K1 is not checked), the control unit 23 skips the process of step S102 and proceeds to the process of step S103.

Next, the control unit 23 reproduces the disc by the disc drive 13 to read out the image file (step S103), and stores the image file in the save destination folder FF (step S104).
As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the designated folder and the image file are stored in the save destination folder FF.
Note that when the reading of the image file is not instructed (when the item K2 is not checked), the control unit 23 does not read the image file. Thus, the duplication data creation process for one disk is completed.

The media processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can replicate the same disk as the disk from which the image file is read using the image file by using known software that writes the image file to the disk.
Since the designated folder stored in the storage destination folder FF for storing the image file is data in a corresponding file format, it can be expanded using the function of the control unit 23 of the host device 3.
For example, the user can store the index data in the save destination folder FF by specifying the index data describing the data contents of the disc as the specified folder. Therefore, by developing the index data, the contents of the image file can be easily confirmed at an arbitrary timing.

Further, the inventor has proposed storing print data indicating the print contents printed on the label surface on the copy source disk and designating the print data in a designated folder.
In this case, an image file indicating the contents of the data surface of the copy source disk and print data indicating the contents of the label surface of the copy source disk are obtained from the copy source disk by executing the above-described copy data creation process. Is done.
For this reason, by using the function of the control unit 23 and printing on the disk based on the print data, it is possible to create a duplicate disk having the same label surface as the duplicate source disk. Moreover, since the contents printed on the label surface of the disk generally include the contents of the disk (data contents), the contents recorded on the disk (the contents of the image file) can be obtained by expanding the printing data or checking the print image. ) Can be confirmed.
Next, specific examples of the print data and the print operation screen GM will be described.

The print data may be image data on the label surface itself (for example, an image file in JPEG format) or text file format data describing a character string on the label surface. Hereinafter, the case where the print data FA in the text file format is used will be described as an example.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the printing data FA in a table format.
The print data FA is a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file in which a character string to be printed is described in “, (comma)” delimiters. The first line is an identifier, the second line indicates a record corresponding to one disk, and the contents of each data item (field) constituting the record are delimited by “, (comma)”. Is shown.

As shown in FIG. 5, “Title”, “Subtitle”, “Lecturer / Training Provider”, “Host Location”, and “Date” are described as identifiers in the first line of the print data FA. Includes a print string corresponding to each of “Title”, “Subtitle”, “Lecturer / Training Provider”, “Host Location”, “Date” (“Coaching and Consultation”, “Delegation: Developing Reliable Leaders”, “ ABCD Workshops, Inc. "," ABCD Training Center, CA "and" 10/1/2012 "). The serial number displayed at the beginning of the line is a number automatically displayed by software that displays the print data FA in a table format.
The print data FA may be created directly by the user, or may be created by the user using software having a conversion function to a CSV file. Further, since it is a CSV file, it is possible to easily develop the printing data FA using general software.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example of the print content confirmation screen GM1 when the print data FA shown in FIG. 5 is used. In addition, the same part as the operation screen GM0 mentioned above is attached | subjected and shown, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.
The print content confirmation screen GM1 can be broadly divided into a work content selection area AR1, a print image display area AR2 for displaying an image on the label surface, and a setting display area for performing various settings of image images in the print image display area AR2. AR3.
In the setting display area AR3, an “automatic data insertion” button BA for automatically inserting data using the printing data FA is displayed. When the user operates the “automatic data insertion” button BA, the control unit 23 The automatic data insertion screen GM6 shown in FIG.

On the automatic data insertion screen GM6, an operation button (“CSV designation”) BB for instructing reading of the printing data FA, a designation area (“automatic data” and “column name”) AR15 for designating print contents (character string) Are displayed and operated via the input unit 21, the control unit 23 selects data corresponding to the designated area AR 15 from the printing data FA instructed by the user (“Coaching and Consultation” in FIG. 5). ]) Is read out and an image corresponding to the read data is displayed in the print image display area AR2.
More specifically, by selecting “insert” displayed in “automatic data” in the designated area AR, and by selecting a field “Title” shown in FIG. 5 with “column name” indicating a character string. “Coaching and Consultation” in the print data FA is displayed in the print image display area AR2 of the print content confirmation screen GM1.

In this way, the print layout of the label surface can be easily performed using the print data FA. After the print layout is determined, the disk printer 14 can perform printing on the disk by the user instructing the start of printing. This makes it possible to easily print a label surface equivalent to the copy source disk.
Further, by browsing a character string described in the print data FA or an image image (so-called print image) displayed in the print image display area AR2, the contents of the image file can be easily grasped.
In FIG. 6, “automatic data” includes items such as “date” and “time” for automatically inputting a date, time, and the like in addition to “insertion”. When selected, the date can be automatically entered in the print image display area AR2.
Even when the print data FA is an image file in JPEG format, a label surface equivalent to the copy source disk can be easily printed and the contents of the image file can be easily grasped as described above. Is possible.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the data in the designated folder is read from the data-recorded disc in a compatible file format that can be expanded by the host device 3 (control unit 23), and the image file (media image data) is read. Since both data are stored in the storage device 24, the contents of the image file can be grasped from the data in the designated folder, and a duplicate disk can be easily created using the image file. As a result, data suitable for grasping the contents of the image file and an image file suitable for duplication can be acquired simultaneously.

Moreover, since the image file is the image data itself recorded on the copy source disk, it is possible to easily create a copy disk having the same recorded contents including the volume label and the creation date. In addition, since a conversion process for converting to an image file is not required when a duplicate disk is created, the processing time can be shortened and the storage area can be reduced because the conversion process is not performed.
In addition, since it is not necessary to directly develop the image file on the host device 3 side, special software or the like is not necessary for developing the image file.
As a result, in this configuration, the data recorded on the disk can be efficiently acquired with data suitable for replication.

Further, since the control unit 23 of the host device 3 stores each data read from the same disk in the same folder, the image file and the specified folder of the same disk can be collected, and each data can be handled. It becomes easy to do.
In addition, the control unit 23 receives the designation of the designated folder and reads the designated folder, so that the data desired by the user can be acquired.
For this reason, as described above, it is possible to easily select, for example, the index data indicating the data content of the copy source disk or the print data FA of the copy source disk in the designated folder. Appropriate data can be acquired according to the original disk.
