| 1. A control method for marking a label side of an optical disc, comprising steps of:
generating an inner ring signal and an outer ring signal according to specific patterns formed on the label side of the optical
disc, wherein the specific patterns include a positioning pattern in an outer ring and a plurality of spokes in an inner ring;
starting timing when the outer ring signal reveals the end of the positioning pattern;
stopping timing and obtaining a timing value when the inner ring signal reveals the start of a square wave defining a specified
spoke;
defining a starting spoke according to the inner ring signal and the specified spoke;
calculating a deviation bit value according to the timing value and a bit number of a data to be marked on a certain track
of the optical disc; and
rotating the data according to the deviation bit value, and marking the rotated data on the certain track, starting with the
starting spoke.
