System and method of utilizing a network to correct flawed media data
First Claim
1. A media device comprising:
- a processor;
a data bus coupled to said processor;
a memory coupled to said data bus;
a network adapter, coupled to said data bus, wherein said network adapter couples said processor to a distributed network including at least one server;
a removable media interface for accepting a removable medium, said removable media interface coupled to said processor; and
a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for;
detecting a number of errors on said removable medium;
comparing said number of errors on said removable medium with a predetermined threshold;
querying said at least one server for correction data to be stored in said memory; and
merging said correction data with data stored on said removable medium to enable successful processing of said data stored on said removable medium.

Abstract
A system and method of utilizing a network to correct flawed media data. The media device includes a processor, a memory, a network adapter, a removable media interface, an error-correction module, and a communication module. The network device enables the media device to connect to the network and server. The removable media interface enables a user to couple a removable medium to the media device. After a user inserts a removable medium into the removable media interface, the processor and error-correction module examines the removable medium for physical errors. If the number of detected errors exceeds a predetermined threshold, the media device, via the network adapter and the communication module, queries a server for correction data. This correction data may be utilized by the media device to enable successful processing of the data stored on the removable medium.
