Storage Device Power Management via ID-Based Peak Period Segmentation

The patent implements periodic action by dividing peak power operations into distinct time slots or periods. Each memory device is assigned specific time windows during which it can operate at peak power, rather than allowing continuous or simultaneous peak power operations. This temporal segmentation enables the system to achieve high productivity during designated periods while ensuring that total power consumption remains within the allocated budget by controlling the number and duration of peak power operations across different devices.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the operating timeline into discrete, non-overlapping time slots and assigning specific memory devices to specific slots based on their IDs. This segmentation prevents overlapping peak power periods by ensuring that only one memory device operates at peak power at any given time. The systematic assignment of time slots to devices simplifies power management by creating a structured, predictable pattern that avoids the complexity of coordinating overlapping operations while maintaining high productivity through continuous utilization of peak power capacity across different devices.
