Information recording device, information recording method, information recording program, and recording medium

Abstract

In an information recording device and method, user data are recorded in a recording medium having two or more recording layers and having a data area in which user data is recordable for each recording layer. A closing command is received after recording of user data in the data area of the recording medium is performed in response to a user-data write request. A minimum amount of lead-out data are written to the recording medium following an end position of the recorded user data in the data area of the recording medium, based on the received closing command.

1 . An information recording device which records user data in a recording medium having two or more recording layers and having a data area in which user data is recordable for each recording layer, comprising: 
 a receiving unit receiving a closing command after recording of user data in the data areas of the recording medium is performed in response to a user-data write request; and    a writing unit writing a minimum amount of lead-out data to the recording medium following an end position of the recorded user data in the data areas of the recording medium, based on the received closing command.    
   
   
       2 - 5 . (canceled)  
   
   
       6 . An information recording method which records user data in a recording medium having two or more recording layers and having a data area in which user data is recordable for each recording layer, comprising the steps of: 
 receiving a closing command after recording of user data in the data areas of the recording medium is performed in response to a user-data write request; and    writing a minimum amount of lead-out data to the recording medium following an end position of the recorded user data in the data areas of the recording medium, based on the received closing command.    
   
   
       7 - 10 . (canceled)  
   
   
       11 . A computer program product embodied therein for causing a computer of an information recording device to execute an information recording method which records user data in a recording medium having two or more recording layers and having a data area in which user data is recordable for each recording layer, the method comprising the steps of: 
 receiving a closing command after recording of user data in the data areas of the recording medium is performed in response to a user-data write request; and    writing a minimum amount of lead-out data to the recording medium following an end position of the recorded user data in the data areas of the recording medium, based on the received closing command.    
   
   
       12 - 15 . (canceled)  
   
   
       16 . A computer-readable recording medium storing a program embodied therein for causing a computer to execute an information recording method which records user data in an optical recording medium having two or more recording layers and having a data area in which user data is recordable for each recording layer, the information recording method comprising the steps of: 
 receiving a closing command after recording of user data in the data areas of the optical recording medium is performed in response to a user-data write request; and    writing a minimum amount of lead-out data to the optical recording medium following an end position of the recorded user data in the data areas of the optical recording medium, based on the received closing command.
