  • Publication number: 20250147691
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller acquires, from a host, write data having the same first size as a data write unit of the nonvolatile memory and obtained by dividing write data associated with one write command having a first identifier indicating a first write destination block in a plurality of write destination blocks into a plurality of write data or combining write data associated with two or more write commands having the first identifier. The controller writes the acquired write data having the first size to the first write destination block by a first write operation.

  • Publication number: 20240022904
    Abstract: An on-board equipment control device includes a storage device a storage device and a controller. The controller performs a first authentication based on a signal transmitted from a wireless device held by a user and performs a second authentication based on biometric data of the user. The controller executes the first authentication before the user boards the vehicle and executes the second recognition after the user boards the vehicle. The controller determines whether the user identified by the first and second authentications are the same user. The controller controls the first on-board equipment or the first functions of the on-board equipment based on the user identified by the first and second authentications.
