Abstract

New data storage devices and techniques are provided. In some aspects of the invention, a new remote supplementation based media and system are provided. A local file and control system comprises a data density distribution that varies depending on Media Depth. A remote supplementation source and control system are also provided in a common network with the local control system. The local control system reports local file attributes, authorization and factors impacting media depth in real time, and the supplementation control system delivers permanent and streaming data corrections, supplementation and format updates to the local control system. In additional aspects of the invention, a patterned reference media device aids in building the local data density distribution. In some embodiments, the 3D arrangement, or other attributes, of structural storage device elements may serve as the patterned reference device.

Claims

1. A device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction, comprising:

a local control system, comprising a processor, capable of delivering a consumption feed to a user;

a local data storage device comprising file storage with an at least partially incomplete data distribution, wherein;

said partially incomplete data distribution comprises a data density based on Media Depth;

a network access device capable of communications with another control unit and/or device, which is capable of supplementing said data density of said local data storage device and said consumption feed;

a reference media device comprising patterns configured for use by the local control system in building said data density based on Media Depth.

2. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which Media Depth comprises the probability that a datum or set of data will be accessed by a user.

3. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which Media Depth comprises the immediacy with which a datum or set of data will or may be accessed by a user.

4. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which said network access device is connected to the internet.

5. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 4, in which said another control unit or device is a control unit comprising a processor.

6. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 5, in which said control unit further comprises a remote supplementation source.

7. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which said comprised patterns of said reference media device comprise random patterns.

8. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 7, in which said comprised random patterns of said reference media device comprise embedded non-random patterns.

9. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which said comprised patterns of said reference media device comprise non-random patterns.

10. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 9, in which said comprised non-random patterns of said reference media device comprise embedded random patterns.

11. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which said comprised patterns comprise embedded patterns in the physical arrangement of media elements at the structural level of an inherent media.

12. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 1, in which said local control unit sends data from, or representative of, at least part of said local storage device to said another control unit and/or device.

13. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 12, in which said another control unit and/or device determines whether errors are present in said local storage device based on a standard reference for data or other conditions in said local storage device.

14. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 13, in which said another control unit and/or device sends data and/or commands to said local control unit correcting said local storage device.

15. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 12, in which said another control unit and/or device determines whether errors are present in said local storage device based on a reference standard source of data.

16. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 12, in which said another control unit and/or device determines whether updates are needed in said local storage device based on a standard reference for a more current version of data or other conditions in said local storage device.

17. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 16, in which said another control unit sends higher resolution data corresponding with data present in said local storage device.

18. The device for efficient local data storage and remote supplementation and correction of claim 17, in which said higher resolution data is provided as a mathematical function relative to said data present in said local storage device.

19. A method for data storage and use, comprising the following steps:
