Wireless mass storage flash memory
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates wireless access of data, comprising:
- a memory module comprising a plurality of memory locations to facilitate data storage, wherein the memory module is configured to facilitate wireless communication of data between the memory module and at least one host component based in part on predetermined criteria; and
a memory controller component configured to, during the wireless communication of the data between the memory module and the at least one host component, establish a first wireless communication link between the memory module and the at least one host component, transfer a first subset of the data between the memory module and the at least one host component via the first wireless communication link, dynamically identify a second wireless communication link between the memory module and the at least one host component that is more efficient for transferring at least a portion of the data than the first wireless communication link, dynamically switch from the first wireless communication link to establish the second wireless communication link during the wireless communication of the data in response to determining that the wireless communication of the at least a portion of the data between the memory module and the at least one host component is more efficient via the second wireless communication link than via the first wireless communication link, in accordance with the predetermined criteria, and transfer a second subset of the data between the memory module and the at least one host component via the second wireless communication link, wherein the first wireless communication link is associated with a first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication link is associated with a second wireless communication protocol.

Abstract
Systems and/or methods are presented that can facilitate access of a memory device by the use of wireless communication technologies. A memory module is presented which combines memory with a wireless adapter component and a memory controller component to facilitate the wireless transmission and reception of data and/or commands from and to host component that requests access to the memory and the data stored therein. The memory module can dynamically switch between one wireless communication technology to another based on signal strength, signal quality, the distance between the memory module and a host component, power usage, as well as other criteria to facilitate an optimal data transmission or throughput rate.

16. A method that facilitates wirelessly communicating data, comprising:
employing at least one processor to facilitate execution of code instructions retained in a memory, the code instructions, in response to execution, perform acts comprising; establishing a first wireless communication link between a memory module and at least one host component based in part on predetermined criteria to facilitate a wireless transfer of a first subset of data of a set of data; transferring the first subset of data between the memory module and the at least one host component via the first wireless communication link; automatically identifying a second wireless communication link between the memory module and the at least one host component that is more optimal for transferring at least a portion of the set of data than the first wireless communication link based in part on the predetermined criteria; automatically switching from the first wireless communication link to establish the second communication link during the wireless transfer of the set of data; and transferring a second subset of data of the set of data between the memory module and the at least one host component via the second wireless communication link. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
