MEMORY SYSTEM CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FUNCTION
First Claim
1. A memory system comprising:
- a nonvolatile semiconductor memory;
a controller configured to control the nonvolatile semiconductor memory;
a memory serving as a work area of the controller;
a wireless communication module having a wireless communication function; and
an extension register to be provided in the memory,wherein the controller processes a first command to read data from the extension register, and a second command to write data to the extension register, andthe extension register records,an information specifying the type of the wireless communication function in a specific page, andan address information indicating a region on the extension register to which the wireless communication function is assigned,wherein the extension register to which the wireless communication function is assigned, comprising;
a first register which indicates the wireless communication function to support;
a second register for writing a third command to perform a wireless communication;
a third register for reading a processing state of the third command; and
a fourth register for reading an execution result of the third command.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, controller, memory, wireless communication function section, and extension register. The controller controls the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. The memory is serving as a work area of the controller. The wireless communication module has a wireless communication function. The extension register is provided in the memory. The controller processes a first command to read data from the extension register, and a second command to write data to the extension register. The extension register records, an information specifying the type of the wireless communication function in a specific page, and an address information indicating a region on the extension register to which the wireless communication function is assigned.
