MECHANICAL SHOCK MITIGATION FOR DATA STORAGE
First Claim
1. A device adapted to capture vehicle data related to a vehicle in motion, the device comprising:
- a disk for storing vehicle data;
a Non-Volatile Solid-State Memory (NVSM) for storing vehicle data;
a memory including a buffer for storing vehicle data before writing the vehicle data on the disk; and
a controller configured to;
receive vehicle data into the buffer for storage on the disk;
receive an input indicating a level of mechanical shock;
determine whether the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds a first threshold indicative of an impact; and
if the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds the first threshold;
store vehicle data from the buffer in the NVSM; and
determine a status for storing vehicle data on the disk.

Abstract
A device adapted to capture vehicle data or surveillance data that includes a disk and a Non-Volatile Solid-State Memory (NVSM). The vehicle or surveillance data is received in a buffer of the device for storage on the disk, and an input is received indicating a level of mechanical shock. It is determined whether the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds a first threshold indicative of an impact. If the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds the first threshold, the vehicle or surveillance data is stored in the NVSM from the buffer and a status is determined for storing data on the disk.
