SELECTIVELY USING HEROIC DATA RECOVERY METHODS IN A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18421389 titled 'SELECTIVELY USING HEROIC DATA RECOVERY METHODS IN A MEMORY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a method for detecting corrupt data in a block and determining whether to perform data recovery processes based on voltage distribution data.

  • The method involves detecting a block storing corrupt data.
  • The voltage distribution data for the block is accessed and compared with reference voltage distribution data.
  • Based on the comparison, the method determines whether to perform data recovery processes on the block.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where data corruption is a concern, such as data storage, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in identifying corrupt data blocks and deciding whether to initiate data recovery processes, thereby ensuring data integrity and reliability.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data quality, reduced risk of data loss, and enhanced data recovery processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include data storage systems, cloud service providers, and cybersecurity companies.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing data recovery methods for detecting and recovering corrupt data blocks in storage systems.

=== What are the specific voltage distribution measurements used in the comparison process? The abstract does not specify the exact voltage distribution measurements used in the comparison process.

=== How does the method determine the threshold for initiating data recovery processes? The abstract does not detail how the method determines the threshold for initiating data recovery processes based on the comparison results.


Original Abstract Submitted

A block storing corrupt data is detected. Based on detecting the block storing corrupt data, threshold voltage (V) distribution data corresponding to the block is accessed. The Vdistribution data comprises one or more Vdistribution measurements corresponding to the block. The Vdistribution data corresponding to the block is compared with reference Vdistribution data. The reference Vdistribution data comprises one or more reference Vdistributions. Based on a result of the comparison, it is determined whether to perform one or more heroic data recovery processes on the block.
