A non-volatile memory controller, system and method capable of processing a next request as an interrupt before completing a current operation are disclosed. The non-volatile memory system includes a first memory storing meta data loaded from a flash memory; a second memory storing the meta data copied from the first memory; and a flash memory controller copying the meta data from the first memory to the second memory, changing the meta data in the second memory, and then re-copying the changed meta data from the second memory to the first memory during a first-type operation that requires changes in the meta data.

An embodiment of a data storage apparatus includes a storage medium, a flash memory buffer configured to store write data to be written in the storage medium, and a controller configured to compare the amount of unused space in the flash memory buffer to a first reference value, compare the amount of valid data in the flash memory buffer to a second reference value, and in response to the comparisons, conducts either a block reclaim operation on the flash memory buffer or a buffer flush operation to transfer valid data from the flash memory buffer to the storage medium. An embodiment of a method for managing a data storage apparatus includes determining when to perform a reclaim operation on a nonvolatile memory buffer, and performing the reclaim operation by moving data either physically or virtually within the nonvolatile memory buffer.

A hard disk drive is disclosed and related methods of reading/writing data are disclosed. The hard disk drive includes a disk serving as a main data storage medium, and first and second buffers storing data to be stored on the disk, as well as a controller defining a data I/O path in relation to a detected operating state of the hard disk drive.

Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling a focus of an application so that the focus is not compulsorily moved in a web browser. The method includes the operations of performing focus movement caused by a user input event in the application, detecting predetermined focus attribute information when focus movement caused by contents is requested while the user input event is processed, and determining the focus movement caused by contents according to the predetermined focus attribute information.

摘要:
A data storage system includes a non-volatile memory, a disc recording medium, a non-volatile memory buffer, operatively disposed between a host interface and the non-volatile memory, which stores a portion of data stored in the non-volatile memory, and a disc buffer, operatively disposed between the host interface and the disc recording medium, which stores a portion of data stored in the disc recording medium. The data storage system may be configured to receive an access address from a host operatively connected to the host interface, and sequentially determine whether the access address exists in one of the non-volatile memory buffer, the non-volatile memory, the disc buffer, and the disc recording medium, in that order.

Provided are a storage apparatus using a non-volatile memory as a cache and a method of operating the same, in which the non-volatile memory is used as the cache so as to preserve data even when electricity is interrupted. The storage apparatus using a non-volatile memory as a cache includes a main storage medium, the non-volatile memory being used as the cache of the main storage medium and having a stationary region and a non-stationary region divided according to whether data are fixed, and a block management unit managing blocks allocated in the non-volatile memory.
