By Francis Pelletier | January 3, 2023 at 2:00 pmShannon Systems Ltd., Shanghai, China, has been assigned a patent (11520698) developed by Chen, Chao, and Miao, Ningzhong, Shanghai, China, for “data storage device in a key-value storage architecture with data compression, and non-volatile memory control method.”
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A key-value storage architecture with data compression is shown. During the garbage collection, the controller compresses valid pieces of key-value data to generate a piece of compressed data. Each piece of key-value data is in key-value format. The controller codes the piece of compressed data to generate a first piece of compressed key-value data that is also in key-value format, and programs the first piece of compressed key-value data into the non-volatile memory.”
The patent application was filed on 2020-12-24 (17/133910).
