Patent ID: 8001321

Claim:
A host device comprising: an electromechanical data storage arrangement configured to perform, directly and without discretion, one or more tasks upon receipt of an executable native code instruction; a host processor associated with memory, the memory storing both device code and native code, the native code including the native code instruction, the host processor configured to execute the device code for controlling the host device and configured to control the electromechanical data storage arrangement without intervening protocol layers using the native code by transmitting the executable native code instruction to the electromechanical data storage arrangement; and a user interface, the user interface configured to receive a first user interaction, the first user interaction identifying a first set of data located on the electromechanical data storage arrangement, the host processor configured to transmit the native code instruction in response to the at least partially completed first user interaction; wherein the first user interaction occurs over a first user interaction time period, the first user interaction time period comprises a data identification point whereat the first set of data is identified, and the host processor transmits the native code instruction in response to the partially-completed first user interaction before the data identification point.
