Application: Data processing method for efficiently processing data stored in the memory device by splitting data flow and the associated data storage device (Patent ID: US20240103757A1)
The patent filed by Silicon Motion Technology Corp. describes a data storage device that includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory controller uses predetermined memory blocks as buffers to receive data from a host device and determines whether to use a second memory block based on the type of data being written. If the data corresponds to system data, it is written to the second memory block, while other data is written to the first memory block. The device is designed to efficiently manage data storage based on the nature of the information being processed.
The patent also outlines specific claims related to the data storage device and the data processing method employed by the memory controller. These claims detail the division of logical addresses into regions and sub-regions, the identification of system data sub-regions, and the criteria for determining when to use the second memory block. The method ensures that management data of a file system is correctly identified and stored in the appropriate memory block, optimizing the storage and retrieval processes. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing data management efficiency and organization within a data storage device through intelligent buffer allocation based on the type of data being processed.
