ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING NON-VOLATILE MEMORY, AND NON-VOLATILE MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462110 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING NON-VOLATILE MEMORY, AND NON-VOLATILE MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a non-volatile memory, a file system, and a file system manager. The non-volatile memory stores files with metadata and user data. The file system manages these files using a log stream. The file system manager monitors the free space log in the log stream and sends a compression request to the file system when the size of the first free space is less than a reference value.

  • The electronic device has a non-volatile memory for storing files with metadata and user data.
  • The file system manages the files using a log stream.
  • The file system manager monitors the free space log and sends a compression request when the first free space is below a certain size.
  • The file system compresses part of the metadata and stores it in the first free space.
  • The compressed space is displayed as a reserved block log in the log stream.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
  • It can be applied in data storage systems to optimize memory usage and improve performance.
  • It can be used in cloud storage systems to efficiently manage and compress data.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This technology helps to optimize memory usage by compressing metadata and storing it in free space.
  • It improves the performance of the file system by managing free space and compressing data when necessary.
  • It ensures efficient utilization of non-volatile memory by displaying compressed space as a reserved block log.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved memory management and utilization.
  • Enhanced performance of the file system.
  • Efficient compression and storage of metadata.
  • Optimal usage of non-volatile memory.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a non-volatile memory configured to store at least one file including metadata and user data; a file system configured to manage the at least one file through a log stream; and a file system (FS) manager configured to monitor a free space log included in the log stream corresponding to a first free space of the non-volatile memory, and to transmit a compression request to the file system based on the size of the first free space, displayed on the free space log, having a value less than a first reference value. The file system may be configured to: based on the compression request being received, compress at least a part of the metadata stored in the non-volatile memory based on the log stream, to store same in the first free space; and display a second free space of the non-volatile memory, secured through the compression of the at least a part of the metadata, as a reserved block log in the log stream.
