Wistron Assigned Patent

Wistron Corporation, New Taipei, Taiwan has been assigned a patent (10,147,048) developed by Chen, Chih-Ming, and Chang, Victor, New Taipei, Taiwan, for “storage device lifetime monitoring system and storage device lifetime monitoring method thereof.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A storage device lifetime monitoring system for monitoring lifetimes of storage devices and a storage device lifetime monitoring method thereof are provided. The method includes collecting operation activity information corresponding to the storage devices, storing multiple training data having the operation activity information and corresponding operation lifetime values, constructing a storage device lifetime predicting model according to the operation activity information and the corresponding operation lifetime values of the training data, inputting the operation activity information of the storage devices into the storage device lifetime predicting model to generate a predicted lifetime value corresponding to each of the storage devices, and re-constructing the storage device lifetime predicting model according to operation activity information and predicted lifetime value of each storage device. Thereby, the lifetime of storage devices can be accurately predicted.”

The patent application was filed on May 22, 2015 (14/719,319).
