Patents by Inventor Hsiu-En Hsu

Hsiu-En Hsu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11733911
    Abstract: A storage device management method for a storage device is provided. The method includes periodically obtaining a current device temperature corresponding to the storage device via a temperature sensor of the storage device; accumulating a first count value in response to determining that the current device temperature is greater than a first temperature threshold; adjusting the first temperature threshold in response to determining that the first count value is greater than the first count threshold; accumulating a second count value in response to determining that the current device temperature is greater than a second temperature threshold; adjusting the second temperature threshold in response to determining that the second count value is greater than the second count threshold; and controlling the storage device to enter a target system state in response to determining that the current device temperature is not less than a critical temperature threshold.

  • Patent number: 10824561
    Abstract: A computer device and a data protection method therefor are provided. The computer device includes an embedded controller, a data storage, and a power module. The embedded controller includes a general-purpose input-output port. The data storage is coupled to the embedded controller through the general-purpose input-output port. The power module is coupled to the embedded controller. The embedded controller detects whether an abnormal shutdown event occurs. When the abnormal shutdown event occurs, the embedded controller informs the data storage to perform a buffered data storage operation through the general-purpose input-output port, so as to transfer buffered data in the data storage to a non-volatile storage area in the data storage, and the embedded controller controls the power module to maintain power supply to the data storage in a predetermined time period.
