Device for processing information and working method thereof
View Patent ↗A device for processing information and the working method of the same are provided. The device for processing information comprises: a memory in which logic for driving a firmware is stored; a connector for connecting the memory to an external device; and a control unit for providing an interface with a host, for communicating with the host through the connector, and for reading and recording data on the memory. The control unit comprises: a first storing device in which a routine for calling the firmware logic stored in the memory is stored; and a processor for executing the firmware logic, stored in the memory, using the routine stored in the first storing device.
1. An information processing device, comprising:
a memory including a first logic area and a second logic area; and
a controller configured to control the memory, and
wherein the first logic area is not deletable,
wherein the second logic area is recordable or deletable,
wherein the controller is configured to store into the second logic area the same data as at least one program or content stored in the first logic area,
wherein the controller is configured to copy the data from the first logic area, and
wherein if data recorded in the second logic area is deleted, the controller is configured to automatically copy the data corresponding to the deleted data from the first logic area to the second logic area.
2. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first logic area further stores a firmware driving logic.
3. The information processing device of claim 2 , wherein the first logic area comprises:
a hidden area which is accessible only by an authorized user,
wherein the firmware driving logic is stored in the hidden area.
4. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the information processing device is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) storage device.
5. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises:
a first storage unit configured to store a routine to call a firmware driving logic stored in the first logic area; and
a processor configured to execute the firmware driving logic stored in the first logic area, using the routine stored in the first storage unit.
6. The information processing device of claim 5 , wherein the controller further comprises:
a second storage unit providing a space for loading and executing the firmware driving logic.
7. The information processing device of claim 6 , wherein the first storage unit is a Read Only Memory (ROM) and the second storage unit is a Random Access Memory (RAM).
8. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first logic area further stores another program or contents.
9. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the controller and the memory are formed in a multi-chip package type.
10. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first logic area stores a system software to record or update a firmware driving logic, an application program, or contents in the memory, by communicating with a host.
11. The information processing device of claim 10 ,
wherein the system software is executed by the host, and
wherein the system software is configured to download the firmware driving logic from the host or a server connected to the host for recording or updating.
12. The information processing device of claim 10 , wherein the system software is downloaded or updated from the host or a server connected to the host.
13. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the first logic area is not deletable by a user, and the second logic area is recordable or deletable by the user.
14. An information processing device, comprising:
a memory including a first logic area and a second logic area; and
a controller configured to control the memory, and
wherein the first logic area is not deletable,
wherein the second logic area is recordable or deletable,
wherein the controller is configured to store into the second logic area the same data as at least one program or content stored in the first logic area,
wherein the controller is configured to copy the data from the first logic area, and
wherein the first logic area includes an applicable area in which watching and reading by any user are allowed.
15. The information processing device of claim 14 , wherein the applicable area stores a driving command information for executing contents or a program.
16. An information processing device, comprising:
a memory including a first logic area and a second logic area; and
a controller configured to control the memory, and
wherein the first logic area is not deletable,
wherein the second logic area is recordable or deletable,
wherein the controller is configured to store into the second logic area the same data as at least one program or content stored in the first logic area,
wherein the controller is configured to copy the data from the first logic area, and
wherein the first logic area comprises a hidden area which is accessible only by an authorized user and an applicable area in which watching and reading by any user are allowed.
17. The information processing device of claim 16 ,
wherein the controller comprises a first storage unit storing a routine to call a firmware driving logic stored in the first logic area, and
wherein the first storage unit is configured to record an address information of the firmware driving logic stored in the first logic area.
