CONTROLLER FOR A MEMORY DEVICE AND A STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18199422 titled 'CONTROLLER FOR A MEMORY DEVICE AND A STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a controller that is directly connected to a storage device and a memory device, but not to a host. - The controller is able to monitor multiple regions of the memory device to determine if they are full. - If the regions meet the fullness criterion, the controller reads the data from those regions. - After reading the data, the controller stores it in the storage device and deletes it from the memory regions. - Once the data is stored, the controller informs the host that the data has been moved from the memory device to the storage device. - The controller can be implemented independently from the host.
Original Abstract Submitted
A controller can be directly coupled to a storage device and a memory device but not a host. The controller can monitor a plurality of regions of the memory device to determine whether the plurality of regions meet a criterion for fullness and responsive to determining that the plurality of regions meet the criterion, read data from the plurality of regions. The controller can, responsive to reading the data from the plurality of regions, store the data in the storage device and delete the data from the plurality of regions. The controller can further, responsive to storing the data, report to a host that the data has been moved from the memory device to the storage device. The controller can be implemented independent from the host.
