VARIABLE DENSITY STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492569 titled 'VARIABLE DENSITY STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for a variable density storage device. The memory system can write data to a first set of memory cells using a first write operation, with each cell storing three or fewer bits. The system can then decide whether to transfer the data to a second set of memory cells based on certain parameters, with each cell in the second set storing more bits than the first set.
- Memory system writes data to first set of memory cells with three or fewer bits per cell.
- System determines whether to transfer data to second set of memory cells based on specific parameters.
- Second set of memory cells can store more bits per cell than the first set.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in:
- Data storage systems
- Mobile devices
- Embedded systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient use of memory space
- Enhanced data storage capabilities
Benefits
- Increased storage capacity
- Improved data transfer speeds
- Enhanced memory efficiency
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Memory Storage in Mobile Devices
Possible Prior Art
No prior art is known at this time.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine which parameters to use for transferring data to the second set of memory cells?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the parameters used for this decision-making process.
What impact does transferring data to the second set of memory cells have on overall system performance?
The application does not discuss the potential effects on system performance when data is transferred to the second set of memory cells.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for variable density storage device are described. A memory system may receive a write command to write data to the memory system. The memory system may write the data to a first set of memory cells of the memory system using a first write operation based on receiving the write command. The first set of memory cells store three or fewer bits of information in a single memory cell. The memory system may identify whether to transfer the data to a second set of memory cells on one or more parameters associated with the data. The second set of memory cells may store more bits of information in a single memory cell than the first set of memory cells. The memory system may transfer the data to the second set of memory cells based on identifying that the data is to be transferred.
