Lite-On Electronics (Guangzhou) Ltd., Guangzhou, China, and Lite-On Technology Corp., Tapei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (11,068,358) developed by Lin, Che-Ching, Taipei, Taiwan, for a “method for backing up and restoring disc management information.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method for backing up and restoring a disc management information is disclosed. Firstly, a specified optical disc is loaded into an optical disc drive. After a servo calibration process is performed, the latest update of the disc management information is read from a specified optical disc. If the latest update of the disc management information is read successfully, the optical disc drive enters a normal working state. If the latest update of the disc management information is not read successfully, the latest update of the disc management information is acquired through a processing circuit. Consequently, the optical disc drive enters the normal working state. While the normal working state of the optical disc drive is terminated, the latest update of the disc management information is transmitted to the processing circuit and recorded into the storage device.”

The patent application was filed on June 10, 2019 (16/435,647).
