==STORAGE CONTROLLER PROVIDING STATUS INFORMATION OF ZONE REGION, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319918 titled 'STORAGE CONTROLLER PROVIDING STATUS INFORMATION OF ZONE REGION, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==
The patent application describes a method for a storage controller to communicate with a host device and a non-volatile memory device. The method involves receiving commands from the host device, obtaining status information from a zone status table, and providing this information back to the host device.

* The method involves receiving commands from a host device for read operations on specific zones in a non-volatile memory device.
* Status information is obtained from a zone status table in the storage controller to determine the physical location of data in the memory device.
* This information is then sent back to the host device for further processing.

==Key Features and Innovation==
* Communication between storage controller, host device, and non-volatile memory device.
* Use of zone status table to track physical location of data.
* Compliance with zoned namespace standard for commands.

==Potential Applications==
This technology can be used in various storage systems where efficient communication and data retrieval are essential. It can be applied in data centers, cloud storage, and enterprise storage solutions.

==Problems Solved==
* Efficient data retrieval and management.
* Streamlined communication between devices.
* Improved storage system performance.

==Benefits==
* Faster data access.
* Enhanced data organization.
* Increased overall system efficiency.

==Commercial Applications==
Title: "Enhanced Storage Controller Technology for Improved Data Management"
This technology can be utilized in data centers, cloud storage providers, and enterprise storage solutions to optimize data retrieval and management processes. It can lead to improved system performance and overall efficiency, making it a valuable tool for businesses relying on storage systems.

==Questions about the Technology==
===How does this technology improve data retrieval speed?===
This technology improves data retrieval speed by efficiently tracking the physical location of data in the non-volatile memory device, reducing the time needed to access specific information.

===What are the potential implications of this technology for cloud storage providers?===
Cloud storage providers can benefit from this technology by enhancing their data management processes, improving overall system performance, and increasing customer satisfaction with faster data access.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a method of operating a storage controller which communicates with a host device and a non-volatile memory device is provided. the method includes: receiving a first command from the host device indicating a read operation of first status information of a first zone random write area (zrwa) in a first zone region, wherein the first command complies with a zoned namespace (zns) standard; obtaining the first status information from a zone status table in the storage controller based on the first command, wherein the first status information indicates at least a portion of a first physical region of the non-volatile memory device corresponding to the first zrwa in which first data are stored; and providing the first status information to the host device.
