  • Publication number: 20220326284
    Abstract: Disclosed is a storage device, which includes a first nonvolatile memory device that stores user data, a second nonvolatile memory device that stores status information for fault analysis, a voltage detect circuit that detects whether an input voltage received at the storage device through a connector exceeds a reference voltage and outputs an over-voltage detect signal when the input voltage exceeds the reference voltage, a status display device that displays a status of the input voltage in response to a blink enable signal, and a storage controller that stores or reads the user data in or from the first nonvolatile memory device, outputs the blink enable signal to the status display device in response to the over-voltage detect signal, and stores the status information in the second nonvolatile memory device.

  • Patent number: 8010808
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data recognition apparatus for copy protection which recognizes software distributed through a disc in physically different ways through RFID and a USB memory, a method thereof, and storage mediums therefor. The apparatus comprises a disc insertion section for recognizing a first storage medium in the form of a disc with an RFID tag attached; an RFID reading section for reading the RFID tag; a USB port section for recognizing a second storage medium having the shape of a USB memory; a decoding section for decoding data stored in the first storage medium or the second storage medium; and a transmission section for transmitting the decoded data to the system.
