Patents by Inventor Tso-Cheng Su

Tso-Cheng Su 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: 8521947
    Abstract: Method for writing data into flash memory is disclosed. The method includes storing the frequently updated data and the not-aligned data collectively into some of the physical memory blocks of the flash memory. In other words, the method collectively writes those data into the same physical memory blocks of the flash memory as far as possible. By doing this, the invalid physical memory pages in the physical memory blocks can be generated collectively. As a result, the storage releasing efficiency of garbage collection can be greatly improved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2013
    Assignee: A-Data Technology Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Tso-Cheng Su, Shih-Fang Hung, Tzu-Wei Fang
  • Patent number: 8429332
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a control method of a multi-channel hybrid density memory storage device for access a user data. The storage device includes a plurality of low density memories (LDM) and high density memories (HDM). The steps of the method comprises: first, determining where the user data transmitted; then, using one of two error correction circuits which have different error correction capability to encode or decode the user data.

  • Publication number: 20100082883
    Abstract: A control method of a memory system for accessing an updated data between a host and the memory system is provided. The host has storage space which is divided into a plurality of logical segments to access the data. The system includes a high density memory and a low density memory, and the high density memory includes a plurality of physical segments to access the data. The control method includes the following steps: first, providing a LDM table in the memory system to indicate the allocation information of the low density memory; finally, deciding where the data is written to is according to its properties and the LDM table.
