  • Publication number: 20120216094
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a controller which comprises a command generator configured to generate a command to non volatile memory, and buffer configured to receive a first data and a second data and configured to combine the first data and the second data, an ECC unit configured to perform the ECC decoding. And the first page data may include at least one error bit corresponding to an error location table and the second page data may include at least one original bit which can be replaced with the error bit. The buffer may replace the at least one error bit with the said at least one original bit. The error location table may save information of location for the repeated error bit.

  • Publication number: 20120151294
    Abstract: A memory controller analyzes read data received from a memory device and first error correction code (ECC) data of the read data. A control unit generates a plurality of sub-data from write data to be written in the memory device where the number of error bits in the read data is greater than a number of error bits that can be corrected using the first ECC data. An ECC block generates the first ECC data and second ECC data by using substantially the same algorithm to correct errors in each of the sub-data. The control unit transmits each of the sub-data, the first ECC data and the second ECC data to the memory device.

  • Publication number: 20110029849
    Abstract: A file browser output apparatus and method that may display contents two-dimensionally are provided. The file browser output apparatus sets a retrieval object, sets an arrangement condition associated with a time in one of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis, and sets an arrangement condition unassociated with time in the other axis. The file browser output apparatus displays retrieval object contents based on the arrangement condition of the horizontal axis and the arrangement condition of the vertical axis.

  • Publication number: 20100235336
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for effectively managing image files are provided. The apparatus acquires a second image if a link information input signal is input. If a person is recognized from the second image, text information corresponding to the recognized person may be added to link information of a first image. Also, an image of the second image may be added to the link information of the first image.
