MEMORY SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD OF MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118839 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD OF MEMORY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a memory system and its operating method, which includes a host accessible area that can be accessed directly from an external device. The system is capable of transmitting information from the host accessible area to an external memory, receiving direct memory access requests generated based on urgent events, and providing the external device with direct memory access to the host accessible area in response to the requests.

• Explanation of the patent/innovation:

 - Memory system with a host accessible area directly accessible from an external device
 - Transmission of information from host accessible area to external memory
 - Reception of direct memory access requests based on urgent events
 - Provision of direct memory access to external device in response to requests

• Potential applications of this technology:

 - Data storage systems
 - Real-time data processing applications
 - High-speed data transfer systems

• Problems solved by this technology:

 - Efficient data access and transfer between external devices and memory system
 - Quick response to urgent events requiring immediate data access
 - Streamlined data processing operations

• Benefits of this technology:

 - Improved data access speed and efficiency
 - Enhanced system responsiveness to urgent events
 - Simplified data transfer processes

• Potential commercial applications of this technology:

 - Consumer electronics
 - Cloud computing services
 - Data centers

• Possible prior art:

 - Direct memory access techniques in computer systems
 - External memory storage devices with host accessible areas

Questions:

1. How does the memory system handle urgent events that require immediate data access? 2. What are the specific technical specifications of the host accessible area in the memory system?

Original Abstract Submitted

according to embodiments of the present disclosure, there may be provided a memory system and an operating method thereof, including a host accessible area accessible directly from an external device, transmitting information on the host accessible area to an external memory, receiving a direct memory access request generated based on the information for the host accessible area from the external device according to an urgent event, and providing the external device with a direct memory access to the host accessible area in response to the direct memory access request.
