发明名称 METHOD AND MEMORY ADAPTER FOR HANDLING DATA OF A MOBILE DEVICE USING NON-VOLATILE MEMORY
摘要 <p>The present invention relates to a method, a memory adapter and a system for handling data in a fixed memory of a mobile device. The capacity of fixed memory increases with the ability of the mobile devices, especially in the view of multimedia and other next-generation applications. Processor technology and processor speed develop much more faster as fixed memory technology. The inventive concept provides the possibility to employ non-volatile memory as a kind of cache memory for accessing mass storage, wherein the fixed memory comprises at least one non-volatile memory and at least one mass storage. The employment of non-volatile memory in combination with mass storage offers several advantages. In case of an unexpected power failure, e.g. removing of the power source, the corruption of data can be avoid particularly important when operating mobile devices. Further, the non-volatile memory acting as a cache memory increases the access speed of the mass storage. Moreover, from terminal point of view, the access to the mass storage is simplified since data is only stored and retrieved from the non-volatile memory independent on the kind of mass storage combined with the non-volatile memory. An adaptation to different mass storage technologies can be obtained easily without modifying the access to the non-volatile memory of the mobile device.</p>
