Patent ID: 7917686

Claim:
A computer system, comprising: an internal memory capable of storing data file objects, an interface adapted for connection to a non-volatile memory system thereto that includes a memory cell array organized into blocks of memory cells that store data from data file objects and that are erasable together, and a processor programmed to perform at least the following functions: read information from the memory system that is externally connected to the interface and that is organized according to an external memory cell block organization structure into physical blocks of memory cells that store data from data file objects about the external memory cell block organization structure, define a continuous logical address space at the interface that includes individual logical blocks of addresses having characteristics corresponding to the external memory cell block organization structure read from memory system connected therewith, assign unique addresses within the blocks of the defined logical address space to data file objects stored in the internal memory, and transfer the data file objects through the interface with the assigned logical addresses, wherein the processor is further programmed to assign addresses to individual data objects in no more than a preset number of logical blocks that contain addresses of another data file object.
