  • Patent number: 10629191
    Abstract: The present invention is a scalable multi-service virtual assistant platform that can construct a fluid and dynamic dialogue by assembling responses to end user utterances from two kinds of agents, information agents and action agents. The information agents and action agents are managed by a masterbot or arbiter. The virtual assistant can gain new skills by getting instructions about a new service expressed in a form of pre-requisites and action combinations; the virtual assistant platform automatically handles dialogue generation, arbitration and optimization to survey prerequisites from the end user, and eventually to take action. The present invention allows a large number of services to implemented using a small number of building blocks. These building blocks can be used to assemble a much larger number of services. In turn, each service can be delivered through a large variety of conversations with end users, enabling a fluid and dynamic dialogue to be seamlessly implemented.

    Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller. The memory device includes a first buffer, a second buffer, and a backup memory block. The first buffer is an MLC block and the second buffer is an SLC block. The controller is coupled to the memory device, receives a write command to write predetermined data in the memory device and determines whether the predetermined data has to be written into different buffers. When the controller determines that the predetermined data has to be written into different buffers, the controller writes a portion of the predetermined data that has been written in one or more predetermined pages of the first buffer into the backup memory block.

    Abstract: A data storage device is provided. The data storage device includes a flash memory and a controller. The flash memory stores a firmware. The firmware includes a plurality of mode page settings, and each mode page setting includes a plurality of mode parameters. The controller receives a mode selection command and a data out message arranged to rewrite a first mode page setting among the plurality of mode page settings from a host.
