Abstract

A memory module compatible for use with a host electronic device. The memory module includes an adapter region for interfacing the memory module with the host electronic device, a memory component and an on-card intelligent controller. A voice recognition system is provided in communication with the on-card intelligent controller to translate audio data into executable file management commands.

Claims

1. A memory module compatible for use with a host electronic device, the memory module comprising:

an adapter region for interfacing the memory module with the host electronic device;

a memory component;

an on-card intelligent controller; and

a voice recognition system in communication with the on-card intelligent controller configured to translate audio data into an executable file management command.

2. The memory module of claim 1, wherein the voice recognition system includes at least one of an audio input system and voice analysis software.

3. The memory module of claim 2, wherein the audio input system includes an audio microphone and an analog-digital converter.

4. The memory module of claim 1, wherein the memory component further comprises a dynamic memory and a static memory.

5. The memory module of claim 1, wherein in response to the executable file management command, an output signal is provided to the host electronic device via the on-card intelligent controller.

6. The memory module of claim 1, wherein in response to the executable file management command, data is received from the host electronic device and stored in the memory component.

7. The memory module of claim 6, the memory component including a plurality of predefined memory locations, wherein in response to the executable file management command, data is stored in one of the plurality of predefined memory locations.

8. The memory module of claim 1, wherein the voice recognition system has an on and off status controlled by the on-card intelligent controller.

9. The memory module of claim 1, the audio data including a voice command, wherein the memory module enables the host electronic device to interact with a user via the audio data when the user issues the voice command.

10. The memory module of claim 9, wherein the memory module including a voice recognition component, wherein the voice recognition component is used to train the memory module.

11. The memory module of claim 9, wherein the voice command is a predetermined voice command.

12. The memory module of claim 11, wherein the predetermined voice command is selected from a display of the host electronic device.

13. The memory module of claim 11, wherein the predetermined voice command is stored in the memory component.

14. The memory module of claim 1, wherein the memory module is a removable memory, and wherein the on-card intelligent controller controls access to information stored on the removable memory.

15. The memory card of claim 14, wherein the on-card intelligent controller prevents unauthorized access to the removable memory.

16. A memory card having a voice recognition system for generating a predetermined voice command menu for use by a host electronic device.

17. The memory card of claim 16, wherein the predetermined voice command menu includes a list of predefined words a user must use to manage a file.

18. The memory card of claim 16, wherein the memory card includes an on-card intelligent controller and wherein the predetermined voice command menu is generated by the on-card intelligent controller.

19. The memory card of claim 16, wherein the predetermined voice command menu includes file management options.

20. The memory card of claim 19, wherein the file management options include a plurality of file management commands.

21. The memory card of claim 16, wherein the predetermined voice command menu includes image editing options.

22. The memory card of claim 21, wherein the image editing options include a plurality of image editing commands.

23. A method of managing a file via a memory card, the method comprising:

receiving a voice input command;

associating the voice input command with an executable file management command;

sending a signal to a host electronic device with the executable file management command; and

executing the executable file management command.

24. The method of claim 23, wherein executing the executable file management command includes storing data on the memory card.

25. The method of claim 23, wherein executing the executable file management command includes defining the memory card to include an on-card intelligent controller that translates the voice input command into the executable file management command by comparing the voice input command with the data stored on the memory card.

27. The method of claim 23, wherein executing the executable file management command includes providing a display output to the host electronic device.

28. A mobile computing system, comprising:

a mobile computing device; and

a memory module in communication with the mobile computing device including an adapter region for interfacing the memory module with the mobile computing device;

a memory component, an on-card intelligent controller, and a voice recognition system in communication with the on-card intelligent controller configured to translate audio data into an executable file management command.

26. The method of claim 29, wherein executing the executable file management command includes grouping the data stored on the memory card.

29. The mobile computing system of claim 28, wherein the mobile computing device is a personal digital assistant.

30. A digital camera system, comprising:

a digital camera; and

a memory module in communication with the digital camera including an adapter region for interfacing the memory module with the mobile computing device;

a memory component, an on-card intelligent controller, and a voice recognition system in communication with the on-card intelligent controller configured to translate audio data into an executable file management command.

31. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of managing a file via a memory card, comprising:

receiving a voice input command;

associating the voice input command with an executable file management command;

sending a signal to a host electronic device with the executable file management command; and

executing the executable file management command.
