GAME ASSET BASED DISPLAY CONTROL IN STORAGE DEVICES
A data storage device can include control circuitry configured to: receive a write command from a host, wherein data associated with the write command includes one or more game assets relating to a gaming application; determine a first game asset file associated with the data; add one or more logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with the first game asset file and corresponding game asset information to a game asset mapping table; receive a read command from a host, wherein data associated with the read command relates to one or more game assets; determine, based on the game asset mapping table, a second game asset file associated with one or more LBAs associated with the read command; determine game progress associated with the second game asset file; and provide display control instructions to a display unit configured to provide a visual indication relating to the game progress.
1 . A data storage device comprising:
a non-volatile memory;
a display unit; and
control circuitry configured to:
receive a write command from a host, wherein data associated with the write command includes one or more game assets relating to a gaming application;
determine a first game asset file associated with the data;
add one or more logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with the first game asset file and corresponding game asset information to a game asset mapping table configured to map LBAs and corresponding game assets;
receive a read command from a host, wherein data associated with the read command relates to one or more game assets;
determine, based on the game asset mapping table, a second game asset file associated with one or more LBAs associated with the read command;
determine game progress associated with the second game asset file; and
provide display control instructions to the display unit, wherein the display control instructions are configured to provide a visual indication relating to the game progress.
2 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to parse the data associated with the write command to identify the one or more game assets.
3 . The data storage device of claim 2 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to parse the data associated with the write command based on one or more of: a file format, an internal reference in a game asset, or metadata associated with a game asset.
4 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more game assets include one or more of: three-dimensional models, two-dimensional sprites, textures, images, animations, or audio data.
5 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine the game progress associated with the second game asset file in connection with another game asset file.
6 . The data storage device of claim 5 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to compare a game asset identifier of the second game asset file and a game asset identifier of the other game asset file.
7 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein a game asset is associated with a game asset identifier.
8 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein a game asset is associated with a stage of a game.
9 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the game asset mapping table is configured to include one or more of: one or more LBAs associated with a game asset, a game asset identifier of the game asset, or one or more physical addresses associated with the one or more LBAs.
10 . The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the display unit includes one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the visual indication is based on one or more of: a color or intensity of the one or more LEDs.
11 . A method of providing game asset display control in a data storage device, the method comprising:
receiving a write command from a host, wherein data associated with the write command includes one or more game assets relating to a gaming application;
determining a first game asset file associated with the data;
adding one or more logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with the first game asset file and corresponding game asset information to a game asset mapping table configured to map LBAs and corresponding game assets;
receiving a read command from a host, wherein data associated with the read command relates to one or more game assets;
determining, based on the game asset mapping table, a second game asset file associated with one or more LBAs associated with the read command;
determining game progress associated with the second game asset file; and
providing display control instructions to a display unit, wherein the display control instructions are configured to provide a visual indication relating to the game progress.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising parsing the data associated with the write command to identify the one or more game assets.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the parsing the data associated with the write command is based on one or more of: a file format, an internal reference in a game asset, or metadata associated with a game asset.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more game assets include one or more of: three-dimensional models, two-dimensional sprites, textures, images, animations, or audio data.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the game progress associated with the second game asset file is determined in connection with another game asset file.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a game asset is associated with a game asset identifier.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a game asset is associated with a stage of a game.
18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the game asset mapping table is configured to include one or more of: one or more LBAs associated with a game asset, a game asset identifier of the game asset, or one or more physical addresses associated with the one or more LBAs.
19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the display unit includes one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the visual indication is based on one or more of: a color or intensity of the one or more LEDs.
20 . A data storage device comprising:
a non-volatile memory;
a display unit; and
controller means configured to:
receive a write command from a host, wherein data associated with the write command includes one or more game assets relating to a gaming application;
determine a first game asset file associated with the data;
add one or more logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with the first game asset file and corresponding game asset information to a game asset mapping table configured to map LBAs and corresponding game assets;
receive a read command from a host, wherein data associated with the read command relates to one or more game assets;
determine, based on the game asset mapping table, a second game asset file associated with one or more LBAs associated with the read command;
determine game progress associated with the second game asset file; and
provide display control instructions to the display unit, wherein the display control instructions are configured to provide a visual indication relating to the game progress.
