Basic FSM model for VCD / DVD player

[bluehacker190791]

Hello.

Forgive me if this question is too simple or perhaps I did not make the question it in a constructive form. I'm not used to asking questions in forums and I'm very much afraid that I might have broke the rule of this forum.

 

I am quite new to computer science and I am in the process of learning about Finite State Machine and so far it has been good. So, I traveled around the net seeking an example of a basic and intuitive FSM model for a VCD or DVD player but was unable to see any example so far. This is strange as I wonder, how could no one ever thought of making an example of FSM model for a simple machine such as this?

 

The purpose for me asking this question at this forum is that I intend to see how people view the functionality of the player and how they would implement this machine in a variety of different ways. Technically, I know that a VCD / DVD player is not difficult to model using FSM, but as I mentioned, I just wanted to see how you guys view it differently, so that I can study something new. Can anyone try to give the idea on how they would implement the basic operation of a VCD / DVD player using FSM?

 

I hope someone can guide me. Thanks you.
