MANAGING ERROR CONTROL INFORMATION USING A REGISTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18594795 titled 'MANAGING ERROR CONTROL INFORMATION USING A REGISTER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for managing error control information using a register in a memory device. The memory device stores an indication of error detection and provides this information to a host device upon request.
- Memory device manages error control information using a register.
- Indication of error detection stored in the memory device.
- Host device can request and receive error detection information from the memory device.
Key Features and Innovation
- Utilization of a register in a memory device for managing error control information.
- Determination of storing error indication based on communication protocol and error control configuration.
- Efficient retrieval and output of error detection information to a host device.
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Computer networks
- Communication devices
Problems Solved
- Streamlining error control information management
- Enhancing communication efficiency between memory and host devices
Benefits
- Improved error detection and reporting
- Enhanced system reliability
- Simplified error control configuration
Commercial Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries such as data storage, networking, and telecommunications to optimize error control processes and enhance system performance.
Questions about Error Control Information Management
How does the use of a register in a memory device improve error control information management?
The use of a register allows for efficient storage and retrieval of error detection indications, enabling quick response to host device requests.
What factors influence the determination of storing error indication in the memory device?
The decision to store error indications is based on the status of communication protocols and error control configurations, ensuring accurate reporting of detected errors.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for managing error control information using a register are described. A memory device may store, at a register, an indication of whether the memory device has detected an error included in or otherwise associated with data requested from a host device. The memory device may determine to store the indication based on whether a communication protocol is enabled or disabled, and whether an error control configuration is enabled or disabled. The host device may request information from the register of the memory device, and the memory device may output the indication of whether the error was detected in response to the request.
