MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094940 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The memory system described in the patent application involves a controller performing a write operation and a partial overwrite operation on a data cluster stored in a non-volatile memory. The write operation includes compressing and encrypting the data cluster before writing it to a physical location in the memory. The partial overwrite operation involves encrypting new data without compression, combining it with the existing compressed and encrypted data cluster, and writing the composite data cluster to a different physical location in the memory.

  • The controller performs a write operation on a data cluster by compressing and encrypting it before storing it in a non-volatile memory.
  • A partial overwrite operation is carried out by encrypting new data without compression, combining it with the existing compressed and encrypted data cluster, and writing the composite data cluster to a different location in the memory.

Original Abstract Submitted

a memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. the controller is configured to perform a write operation of a first data cluster and a first partial overwrite operation of the first data cluster with first overwrite data. the write operation includes compressing and then encrypting the first data cluster, and writing the compressed and encrypted first data cluster into a first physical location of the non-volatile memory. the first partial overwrite operation includes encrypting the first overwrite data without performing compression, reading the compressed and encrypted first data cluster from the first physical location of the non-volatile memory, generating a first composite data cluster with the compressed and encrypted first data cluster read from the first physical location and the encrypted first overwrite data that is not compressed, and writing the first composite data cluster into a second physical location of the non-volatile memory.
