Application: Contactless data transmission for memory devices (Patent ID: US20240211581A1)
The patent filed by Micron Technology Inc. describes a contactless memory device analysis system that includes a chip with memory and an antenna module connected to the memory. A controller receives a request command for memory analysis, transmits an authentication command to verify the reader device's authorization, and analyzes the memory to determine its status, transmitting the information back to the reader device. The system allows for secure wireless communication and control of the memory device, including adjusting configurations and identifying memory health parameters or bad blocks.
The method outlined in the patent involves detecting a memory device, transmitting a request command for memory analysis, performing a handshake procedure for authentication, and receiving information about the memory status. The method also includes encrypting the information, transmitting it to a client device, determining adjustments to the memory configuration, and communicating via near-field communication or radio frequency identification. The memory device itself includes memory, an antenna module, and a controller that can receive identification signals, transmit information about the device, pair with a reader device, receive analysis requests, and transmit information about the memory status. The memory device can also adjust configurations, expose interfaces for control, and use authentication information for secure communication.
