Problems solved by technology

[0026] Because these portable products have limited processing resources and available RAM, when portable consumer electronics are used to perform processing-intensive tasks, host applications (especially slave applications) are required to process data stored as logical blocks (which should more naturally be stored as data object), difficulties arise when
In particular, it is typically search / query operations (i.e., "read related" commands) that consume most of the host's processing resources, while slave servicing can cause excessive power consumption of the host processor and long execution times resulting in slow responses
In this way, users may be left with a negative user experience, as users generally dislike products that are slow and have short battery life

Embodiment Construction

[0082] Reference will now be made in detail to specific embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to the described embodiments. On the contrary, it is intended to cover alterations, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It should be noted that any functional blocks or arrangement of functions described herein may be realized as physical or logical entities, or a combination of both.

[0083] As the capabilities of storage device controllers increase, it becomes possible to execute software applications from storage devices using processing resources made available by the storage device controller. This enhanced operability of storage device controllers brings new (hitherto impractical) par...

Abstract

Various methods, devices and systems are described for providing distributed storage services. A data storage device is capable of initiating a communication session with an external entity such as a local host computer (and vice versa) coupled directly to the data storage device, a remote server computer, or directly with remote data storage devices with or without intervention by a local host computer.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an application date of December 19, 2008, an application number (Chinese application number) of 200880127720.7, and an invention title of "storage device with direct user access". technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to digital devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to providing cross-platform mass storage services for digital devices. The present invention also relates to cache management and to providing secure distribution and consumption of digital content and providing local storage using local storage means. The present invention also relates to a local storage device that includes the ability to index data in the local storage device without involving a host device operatively coupled to the local storage device. Background technique [0003] In the prior art, an "autorun" or "autoplay" function provides a computer OS with the abi...
