Patent number: 8688896Abstract: A digital still camera performs temporary high-speed writing when capturing a large number of images in a short time. Lengthy processing for erased block allocation or copying performed inside a nonvolatile storage device may disable the captured images to be written completely (may cause some frames to drop). A nonvolatile storage system includes an access device (1001) and a nonvolatile storage device (1002). A button operation of a user on the access device (1001) causes the mode of data writing to the nonvolatile storage device (1002) to be switched. Temporary high-speed writing is performed into a physical block of a nonvolatile memory (27) from which a plurality of data pieces with different logical addresses and different data sizes have been erased. After the temporary high-speed writing, the written data is relocated into a user storage area (272), and an erased block is newly allocated for subsequent temporary high-speed data writing.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masahiro Nakamura, Hirokazu So, Masahiro Nakanishi

Patent number: 8661186Abstract: An access device 100 includes an access speed information part 112 for informing an access speed required for data recording by the access device 100 to a nonvolatile memory device 200. The nonvolatile memory device includes an access condition determination part 212 for determining an access condition required for meeting the informed access speed and an access area determination unit 213 for determining an access area according to the determined access condition. The access device 100 informs the required access speed to the nonvolatile memory device 200 in advance so that the access condition determination part 212 and the access area determination part 213 in the nonvolatile memory device 200 realize data recording which meets the access speed informed in advance upon the data recording. Thus, it is possible to access all the nonvolatile memory devices at a desired speed regardless of difference in characteristics of the recording speed of each of the nonvolatile memory devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Takuji Maeda, Toshiyuki Honda, Masahiro Nakanishi, Tadashi Ono, Tatsuya Adachi, Isao Kato

Patent number: 8589617Abstract: An access device 1 internally includes a logical-physical empty capacity management part 16 for obtaining information of a remaining capacity on a write once memory from a write once recording device 2A. In addition, the write once recording device 2A internally includes a physical empty capacity management part 27 for managing a remaining capacity on the write once memory and notifying the access device of the capacity. Prior to recording of file data, the access device 1 can know an accurate remaining capacity of the write once recording device by: obtaining a remaining capacity of the write once memory from the write once recording device 2A; and comparing the capacity with a remaining capacity on an FAT to decide an actually-recordable remaining capacity for file data.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Takuji Maeda, Shinji Inoue, Hiroki Etoh, Masahiro Nakamura, Makoto Ochi, Yukiko Okamoto, Masahiro Nakanishi

Patent number: 8527691Abstract: A nonvolatile storage device includes a controller and a nonvolatile memory. The controller has: a logical-physical address conversion part for converting a logical address designated by a host device into a physical address; and a boot code address conversion part for converting boot code address information designated by the host device into a physical address. After the power-on and before the logical-physical address conversion part becomes usable, a boot code is read from a part of region which can be accessed by designating a logical address from the host device by designating the boot code address information from the outside. Thus, it is possible to rapidly start the nonvolatile memory system after the power-on. In the state where the logical-physical address conversion part can be used, data-reading and data-writing are carried out by designating a logical address from the host device.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Honda, Masayuki Toyama, Masahiro Nakanishi
