Information recording/reproducing apparatus and method

摘要

An information recording/reproducing apparatus includes a first processing unit, a link information generating unit, a link information storage unit, and a second processing unit. The first processing unit processes information constituted by a plurality of information units and subjected to a recording/reproducing operation. The link information generating unit generates link information representing the relationship between arbitrary information units of the information units constituting the information. The link information storage unit stores the link information generated by the link information generating unit. The second processing unit performs predetermined processing with respect to the link information when an information unit corresponding to the link information stored in the link information storage unit is processed by the first processing unit.
