ARCHITECTURE AND METHOD FOR REMOTE MEMORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC AND OPTIMIZATION
First Claim
1. A memory system, comprising:
- a memory;
a smart memory controller coupled to the memory, the smart memory controller including a transmitter communicatively coupled to a cloud, the transmitter being configured to transmit a product identification associated with the memory to the cloud; and
the smart memory controller further including a receiver communicatively coupled to the cloud and configured to receive, from the cloud, a product specific test program associated with the product identification of the memory.

Abstract
A smart memory system preferably includes a memory including one or more memory chips and a smart memory controller. The smart memory controller includes a transmitter communicatively coupled to the cloud. The transmitter securely transmits a product identification (ID) associated with the memory to the cloud. A cloud-based data center receives and stores the product ID and related information associated with the memory. A smart memory tester receives a product specific test program from the cloud-based data center. The smart memory tester may remotely test the memory via the cloud in accordance with the product specific test program. The information stored in the cloud-based data center can be accessed anywhere in the world by authorized personnel. Repair solutions can be remotely determined based on the test results and the diagnostic information. The repair solutions are transmitted to the smart memory controller, which repairs the memory.
