SMART DEVICE RECORDATION
First Claim
1. A system for establishing if an operation requested for performance upon a memory device should occur, comprising:
- a communication component that gathers a request to perform the operation upon the memory device;
a collection component that obtains metadata that relates to the operation;
an analysis component that evaluates at least a portion of the obtained metadata that relates to the operation requested for performance upon the memory device; and
a resolution component that intelligently establishes if the operation should automatically occur as a function of at least a portion of a result of the evaluation.

Abstract
Valuable information can be retained upon a storage device, such as a flash memory unit. Due to the portable nature of the memory, there can be increased likelihood of theft, less back up of important files not a reliable medium, legal physical transfer of the device between parties, and the like. When an operation is requested to take place related to the device, a check can take place if the operation should be allowed based upon device metadata, such as physical location of the device, device history, and so forth. A determination can be made on if the operation should automatically occur based upon a result of the check. If it is determination that the operation should not automatically occur, then the operation can be denied or a request can be made to an owner of the device on if the operation should be allowed to occur.
