Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for handling temporary data that is stored in a non-volatile memory, such as NAND flash memory. The temporary data may include hibernation data or any other data needed for only one boot cycle of an electronic device. When storing the temporary data in one or more pages of the non-volatile memory, the electronic device can store a temporary marker as part of the metadata in at least one of the pages. This way, on the next bootup of the electronic device, the electronic device can use the temporary marker to determine that the associated page contains unneeded data. The electronic device can therefore invalidate the page and omit the page from its metadata tables.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device comprising: a volatile memory for storing application-generated data associated with at least one application that is operating in a pre-hibernation state; a non-volatile memory (“NVM”) comprising a plurality of pages; and control circuitry operative to: receive an indication that an application operating in the pre-hibernation state is entering into a hibernation state; and store the application-generated data associated with the…
