20080201538 | MEMORY CONTROL METHOD AND MEMORY SYSTEM - Error-tolerant code conversion is carried out on original data including a large amount of binary data which is apt to be unintentionally rewritten, to produce converted data including a smaller amount of binary data which is apt to be unintentionally rewritten, and the converted data is written into a memory. While a host system is processing the original data, the memory reads out the converted data and the code inverse transformation part carries out inverse transformation of error-tolerant code conversion on the converted data, to output reproduced data which is identical to the original data, to the host system. As a result, it is possible to avoid or suppress the possibility that data is unintentionally rewritten due to repeated readout of the same data. | 08-21-2008 |
20080244175 | MEMORY SYSTEM AND COMPUTER SYSTEM - When a memory card is inserted into a computer, a memory controller sends command information stored in a memory array to the computer. Then, the computer stores the command information received from the memory card into a RAM. The computer generates a command as needed on the basis of the stored command information and sends the generated command to the memory card. When the memory card receives the command from the computer, the memory controller analyzes the received command and performs it while making reference to command analysis information.
