    摘要: A storage device with a memory, a controller, a storage device interface and a host interface, and a method of data transfer to and from a storage device are provided. The storage device is operative to connect with a host device and the storage device interface is operative to couple with an add-on memory. When the host interface is connected to a host device, the controller is configured to receive a data transfer command specifying a memory address from the host interface; and if the memory address is beyond the address space of the memory, to route the data transfer command to the storage device interface for access to the add-on memory. The address space of the memory and an address space of the add-on memory are addressed as one integral address space transparently to the host.

    摘要: A method and system are disclosed that permit a storage device to remain fully functional despite running out of a sufficient supply of spare blocks in memory. The storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller, where the controller is configured to detect an insufficiency of spare blocks and convert operative blocks to spare blocks. The method includes techniques for selecting certain operative blocks for conversion to spare blocks using the storage manager on the storage device and a file system manager that may or may not be part of the storage device.

    摘要: A method of controlling access to user selectable content includes receiving, by a storage controller, an indication of an initial purchase transaction; and managing access to the pre-loaded content. The indication of the initial purchase transaction is associated with pre-loaded content in a storage that is controlled by the storage controller, the indication including user-selected identification of or criteria for delineating a particular portion of the pre-loaded content. The access management includes limiting the access to the particular portion of the pre-loaded content and making such limited access subject to and performed according to the indication of the initial purchase transaction.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and devices for expanding the storage capacity in a storage device, including the steps of creating at least one partition in a storage memory of the storage device; designating a reserved-storage area and an enabled-storage area in at least one partition; storing a partition size in a FAT of the storage memory; and upon authorization, increasing the partition size to include sectors in the reserved-storage area, thereby expanding the storage capacity in a storage device. Preferably, the reserved-storage area is not accessible by a host system. Preferably, the partition size is determined from a partition range stored in a master boot record in the storage memory. Most preferably, the partition range is determined from an enabled capacity stored in a memory-management area in the storage memory, and wherein the memory-management area is not accessible by a host system.

    摘要: A memory card includes a memory for storing data and a controller that is operative to control access to storage of at least a portion of storage conditional upon an authorization of a corresponding identity card of a service provider. A storage system includes an identity card of a service provider and a memory card, wherein the identity card corresponds to the memory card, and wherein access to storage of at least a portion of the memory card is controlled conditional upon an authorization from only this corresponding identity card. A method of doing business includes equipping a mobile phone with an identity card that corresponds to a memory card, configuring the memory card to operate conditional on an authorization from this corresponding secured card, and then offering the mobile phone and the memory card for sale at a discount.
