APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION BY USING NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A mobile communication apparatus configured to communicate with an opposite communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive an incoming signal sent from the opposite communication apparatus, the transceiver configured to produce an interrupt signal upon receiving the incoming signal;
a first memory device;
a non-volatile second memory device;
a controller connected to the transceiver, the first memory device and the second memory device, the controller configured to perform garbage collection of the second memory device, the controller configured to load data stored in one of the first memory device and the second memory device into another of the first memory device and the second memory device, the controller configured to access the first memory device upon the transceiver producing the interrupt signal.

Abstract
A mobile communication apparatus configured to communicate with an opposite communication device is provided. The mobile communication apparatus includes a transceiver configured to receive an incoming signal sent from the opposite communication device. The transceiver is configured to produce an interrupt signal upon receiving the incoming signal. The mobile communication apparatus includes a first memory device and a non-volatile second memory device. The mobile communication apparatus includes a controller connected to the transceiver, the first memory device and the second memory device. The controller is configured to perform garbage collection of the second memory device, to load data stored in one of the first memory device and the second memory device into another of the first memory device and the second memory device, to access the first memory device if the transceiver produces the interrupt signal.

5. A method for avoiding a conflict between garbage collection and memory access of a mobile communication apparatus having a first memory device and a non-volatile second memory device, the mobile communication apparatus configured to communicate with an opposite communication apparatus, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an incoming signal sent from the opposite communication apparatus; producing an interrupt signal upon receiving the incoming signal; performing garbage collection of the second memory device; loading data stored in one of the first memory device and the second memory device into another of the first memory device and the second memory device; and accessing the first memory device upon producing the interrupt signal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
