Patent ID: 7934044

Claim:
A method for expediting data access of a universal serial bus (USB) storage device, comprising: receiving an access command issued by a small computer system interface (SCSI) layer from a bulk transfers layer; determining whether or not the USB storage device has a continuous data access status; responsive to determining the USB storage device not having a continuous data access status, determining whether or not a memory space to be accessed and corresponding to the access command is greater than a threshold value; and based on whether the memory space of the access command is greater than a threshold value, performing one of: sending a command block wrapper (CBW) to the USB device to execute a continuous data access; performing a standard USB data access procedure; responsive to determining the USB storage device having a continuous data access status, determining whether or not logical addresses of the current access command and a previous access command are continuous; responsive to determining that logical addresses of the current access command and a previous access command are not continuous, performing the steps of: stopping the continuous data access, and setting the USB storage device to a status other than the continuous data access status.
