  • Publication number: 20120210046
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, a control unit, a memory as a work area, a wireless communication module, and an extension register. The control unit controls the non-volatile semiconductor memory device. The extension register is provided in the memory and has a data length by which a wireless communication function of the wireless communication module can be defined. The control unit causes the non-volatile semiconductor memory device to store, as a file, an HTTP request supplied from a host, causes the extension register, based on a first command supplied from the host, to register an HTTP transmission command transmitted together with the first command, and causes the wireless communication module to transmit the HTTP request stored in the non-volatile semiconductor memory device based on the transmission command registered in the extension register.
