MEDIA MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824384 titled 'MEDIA MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for managing memory cells in a device.

  • The method involves determining the difference between two health characteristic values of memory cell blocks and comparing it to a health threshold.
  • If the difference is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, a pseudo media management operation is performed on the memory cell blocks.
  • After the operation, an updated health characteristic value is determined for the memory cell blocks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes determining a gap between a difference in a first health characteristic value and a second health characteristic value of blocks of memory cells and a health threshold associated with the blocks of memory cells, determining the gap is greater than or equal to a gap threshold from the health threshold, performing a pseudo media management operation on the blocks of memory cells, and determining an updated first health characteristic value of the blocks of memory cells.
