  • Patent number: 8707007
    Abstract: A memory storage device, a memory controller thereof, and a method for automatically creating a fill-file thereof are provided. In the present method, a plurality of logical addresses is configured and grouped into a plurality of logical blocks to be mapped to physical blocks of a memory chip in the memory storage device. When a host system is powered on, whether the logical addresses have been formatted into a partition is determined. If the logical addresses have been formatted into a partition, whether a fill-file of a predetermined file capacity exists is determined. If the fill-file does not exist, data related to the fill-file is respectively filled into a file allocation table (FAT) and a root directory of the formatted partition when the host system reads the FAT and the root directory, so as to automatically create the fill-file.

  • Patent number: 8544424
    Abstract: A system, a controller, and a method for transmitting and distributing a data stream from a host to a storage device having a non-volatile memory and a chip are provided. A specific mark is added into a data stream which is transmitted from the host to the storage device, such that the data stream can be dispatched to the chip by transmitting a write command. Then, a response message generated by the chip can be received inerrably by executing a plurality of read commands.

  • Patent number: 8266713
    Abstract: A method for transmitting and dispatching data stream, which is used for transmitting data stream to a storage device having a non-volatile memory and a smart card chip from a host, is provided. The method includes: setting a key between the host and the storage device; creating a temporary file in the non-volatile memory; verifying the temporary file based on the key; recording a logical block address of the temporary file when verification of the temporary file is successful; and judging whether the data stream from the host is written at the logical block address, wherein the data stream is identified to be a command-application protocol data unit (C-APDU) and is dispatched to the smart card chip when the data stream from the host is written at the logical block address. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently distinguish a general data from a command of the smart card chip.
