Abstract

Disclosed is a memory card reader recovering memory card. The memory card reader recovering memory card according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise a first interfacing unit interfacing with a memory card, a first storing unit storing a recovery program for recovering any deleted or impaired data in the memory card, a control unit executing the recovery program for the deleted or impaired data at a recovery mode and a display unit displaying a file list of both data stored in the memory card and the data recovered on a display screen.

Claims

1. A memory card reader recovering memory card comprising:

an interfacing unit interfacing a memory card to be recovered;

a storing unit storing a recovery program for recovering the memory card;

a reader connector both transmitting and receiving data by connecting to a reader port of an outer terminal; and

,

a control unit loading the recovery program stored in the storing unit, recovering data in the memory card received through the interfacing unit and outputting the data recovered to the reader connector.

2. A memory card reader recovering memory card of claim 1, wherein the storing unit is updated by receiving an updated recovery program from the outer terminal.

3. A memory card reader recovering data comprising:

an interfacing unit interfacing a memory card;

a switch selectively outputting a read/write signal or a recovery signal for either read/write or recovery of the memory card;

a storing unit storing a recovery program for recovering the memory card in response to the recovery signal of the switch;

a reader connector both transmitting and receiving data by connecting to a reader port of an outer terminal; and

,

a control unit both sending data either read/written or recovered to the reader connector after performing either read/write of data or recovery by using the recovery program, into the memory card, in response to either the read/write signal or a recovery signal selectively outputted, and storing data outputted from the outer terminal into the memory card through the interfacing unit.

4. A memory card reader recovering data of claim 3,

wherein the storing unit is updated by receiving an updated recovery program from the outer terminal.

5. A memory card reader comprising:

a first interfacing unit interfacing with a memory card;

a first storing unit storing a recovery program for recovering any deleted or impaired data in the memory card;

a control unit executing the recovery program for the deleted or impaired data at a recovery mode; and

,

a display unit displaying a file list of both data stored in the memory card and the data recovered on a display screen.

6. A memory card reader of claim 5 further comprises a second interfacing unit providing user interface for the file list displayed on the display screen.

7. A memory card reader of claim 5, wherein the display unit provides preview function for any selected files of the file list.

8. A memory card reader of claim 5,

wherein the recovery program is compatible to a plurality of file systems having various versions.

9. A memory card reader of claim 5, wherein the first interfacing unit provides interfacing for a plurality of various memory cards.

10. A memory card reader of claim 9, wherein the control unit stores files recovered in other memory card connecting to the first interfacing unit by mentioning other file names than original ones.

11. A memory card reader of claim 9, wherein the first interfacing unit provides interfacing for SD (Secure Digital), MMC (Multimedia Card) and CF (Compact Flash) memory cards.

12. A memory card reader of claim 5 further comprises a second storing unit, and the control unit stores files recovered in the second storing unit by mentioning other file names than original ones.

13. A memory card reader of claim 5 further comprises a power supplying unit making powers necessary operation of the memory card reader itself.

14. A memory card reader of claim 5 further comprises a third interfacing unit providing interfacing with an outer terminal.

15. A memory card reader of claim 5 further comprises a switch for selecting whether entering to the recovery mode.
