ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIA, AND UFS CARD INCLUDING UFS STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17863401 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIA, AND UFS CARD INCLUDING UFS STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a processor, a Universal Flash Storage (UFS) device controller, a UFS interface, and storage with a cache memory and non-volatile memories. The device measures the temperature of the storage and if it exceeds a threshold value, it deactivates some of the data transmission lanes or the cache memory.
- The device includes a processor, UFS device controller, UFS interface, and storage.
- It measures the temperature of the storage and identifies if it exceeds a threshold value.
- If the temperature exceeds the threshold, it deactivates some of the data transmission lanes or the cache memory.
Potential Applications
- Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
- Solid-state drives (SSDs) used in computers and servers.
- Embedded systems and IoT devices.
Problems Solved
- Prevents overheating of the storage, which can lead to data corruption or device failure.
- Reduces power consumption and extends the lifespan of the device.
- Improves overall system performance and reliability.
Benefits
- Enhanced device reliability by preventing storage overheating.
- Energy efficiency by deactivating unnecessary data transmission lanes or cache memory.
- Improved system performance and longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes at least one processor, a Universal Flash Storage (UFS) device controller operatively coupled with the at least one processor, a UFS interface including a plurality of downstream lanes for transmitting data and a plurality of upstream lanes for transmitting data and storage including a cache memory and a plurality of non-volatile memories. The at least one processor transmits a first control signal to instruct measuring a temperature of the storage and identifying of the measured temperature exceeding a threshold value to the UFS device controller, receives a status signal indicating that the measured temperature exceeds the threshold value from the UFS device controller, and based on the status signal, transmits, to the UFS device controller, a second control signal to instruct that deactivating at least some of the plurality of downstream lanes and upstream lanes, or deactivating the cache memory in the storage.
