This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18124733 titled 'METHODS FOR REAL-TIME REPAIRING OF MEMORY FAILURES CAUSED DURING OPERATIONS, MEMORY SYSTEMS PERFORMING REPAIRING METHODS, AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS INCLUDING REPAIRING MEMORY SYSTEMS

==Simplified Explanation==

- The patent application describes a method for operating a memory controller that controls a memory device with a memory region and a repair memory region.
- The method involves receiving an address and associated data from the memory region in a read command.
- The received data is decoded using an error correction code and any errors in the data are detected.
- Error type information is generated to indicate the type of error found in the data.
- A count value associated with the address is updated based on the error type information, representing the number of times that specific error has occurred for that address.
- The count value is compared to a threshold value.
- If the count value is equal to the threshold value, the data stored in the memory region associated with the address is backed up to the repair memory region.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An operating method of a memory controller that controls an operation of a memory device that includes a memory region and a repair memory region. The operating method may include receiving an address associated with the memory region that is included in a first read command and data read out from the memory region associated with the address, decoding the data using an error correction code and detecting an error included in the data, generating error type information indicating a type of an error included in the data, updating, based on the error type information, a count value associated with the address, the count value indicating a number of times that the type of error indicated by the error type information has occurred for the address, comparing the count value with a threshold value, and backing up the data that is stored in the memory region associated with the address to the repair memory region when the count value is equal to the threshold value.
