STORAGE DEVICE FOR PROVIDING EVENT DATA AND OPERATION METHOD OF STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18195607 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE FOR PROVIDING EVENT DATA AND OPERATION METHOD OF STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a storage device with a non-volatile memory device, a combo integrated circuit (IC) with a temperature sensor and memory, and a controller. The controller can detect temperature events, record event data, and communicate this data to an external host.
- Non-volatile memory device with memory blocks and memory cells
- Combo IC with temperature sensor and memory
- Controller for writing/reading data in memory cells
- Recording event data based on temperature readings
- Communication of event data to controller and external host
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various industries such as data storage, IoT devices, and temperature-sensitive equipment.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient monitoring of temperature events in storage devices 2. Seamless communication of event data to external hosts
Benefits
1. Improved data management and security 2. Enhanced temperature monitoring capabilities 3. Streamlined communication with external systems
Potential Commercial Applications
"Temperature Event Recording Storage Device Technology for Data Centers"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar storage devices with temperature sensors and event recording capabilities, but the specific combination of features in this patent application may be unique.
Unanswered Questions
How does the combo IC communicate with the external host?
The abstract mentions different channels for communication, but the specific method of communication is not detailed.
What types of temperature events trigger data recording?
The abstract mentions "first events" based on temperature data, but it does not specify the nature of these events or how they are determined.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device includes a non-volatile memory device that includes memory blocks each including one or more memory cells, a combo integrated circuit (IC) that includes a temperature sensor and a memory, and a controller that is connected with the combo IC through first channels and controls the non-volatile memory device to write or read data in or from selected memory cells. When the controller determines that a first event occurs based on temperature data read from the combo IC, the controller records first event data in the memory of the combo IC. In a first operation mode, the combo IC outputs the first event data to the controller through the first channels. In a second operation mode, under control of an external host, the combo IC outputs the first event data to the external host through second channels different from the first channels.
