摘要:
In a memory cell array, a plurality of memory cells each of which stores a plurality of bits are connected to a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines and are arranged in a matrix. Control portions read a threshold level of a second memory cell adjacent to a first memory cell in the memory cell array, determine a correction level according to the threshold level read from the second memory cell, add the determined correction level to a read level of the first memory cell, and then read the threshold level of the first memory cell. A storage portion stores the correction level.

A face authentication apparatus includes a high tone image acquiring section, a tone converting section, a face characteristic extracting section and a face collation section. The high tone image acquiring section acquires a high tone image containing the face of a walker. The tone converting section converts the acquired high tone image to a low tone image by tone conversion processing which optimizes the brightness of a face area in the high tone image acquired by the high tone image acquiring section. The face characteristic extracting section executes an extraction processing for the face characteristic information based on the low tone image whose brightness is optimized by the tone converting section. Further, the face collation section executes face collation processing based on the low tone image whose brightness is optimized by the tone converting section.

When authentication data of a person O to be authenticated is registered as dictionary data, this authentication data of the person to be authenticated is acquired and collated with the registered dictionary data. In accordance with the collation result, the dictionary data is updated.
摘要:
A plurality of memory cells each storing n values (n is a natural number which is not smaller than 3) are arranged in a matrix form in a memory cell array, and each memory cell is connected with a word line and a bit line. Each memory cell stores the n-valued data by a first write operation and a second write operation. A read section sets a potential of a word line, and reads data from a memory cell in the memory cell array. If data read by the read section and written in the second write operation includes an uncorrectable error, a control section changes a potential of a word line supplied to the read section when reading data written in the first write operation.

The present invention enables a CPU to access a SRAM in the shortest time in sync with the SRAM's ready timing, resulting in a reduction of avarage system boot-up time. The present invention is a processor boot-up controller that includes: volatile memory, which is connected to nonvolatile memory; a selector, which transfers boot-up codes to the volatile memory from the nonvolatile memory; a controller for the nonvolatile memory which is configured from a boot-up control sequencer, which transmits CPU read-in data to the CPU and brings the CPU into a wait state until boot-up code transfer completes; and an error detection and correction unit; is connected to the external CPU and the nonvolatile memory, and boot-up controls the CPU by reading data from the nonvolatile memory. The present invention is an information processing system using a controller for nonvolatile memory, a microprocessor boot-up controller, and multi-valued nonvolatile memory.
摘要:
In a memory system using a removable recording medium and data stored in the recording medium, identifying information for identifying each recording medium from others is held in the recording medium, and when data stored in the recording medium is used, the identifying information of the recording medium is required. As a result, when a flash memory card, etc. is used, a copyright is reliably protected.
摘要:
A semiconductor memory system including a flash EEPROM comprises a first flash EEPROM included in the first memory drive, a second flash EEPROM included in the second memory drive, and means for controlling access to the first and second flash EEPROMs. The access controlling means includes an address converting means for converting a logical address from a host system into a physical address, according to first and second file management information which indicates correspondence between logical addresses and physical addresses of the first and second memory drives, respectively. The access controlling means further includes memory accessing means, coupled to each of the first and second flash EEPROMs, for accessing a selected EEPROM according to the physical address from the address converting means.
