InnoPath Awarded Two New Patents for Enhancing Speed and Effective Memory Management for Mobile Devices.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- InnoPath's Patented Technology Creates Efficient and Reliable Software Update Methods Essential for Over-the-Air Updating of Embedded Software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. InnoPath Software, the industry leader in over-the-air (OTA (Over The Air) Refers to any wireless system such as AM/FM radio and network television that uses open space as its transmission medium. ) mobile device management, today announced that it has received two new patents (Numbers 7,007,049 and 7,003,534) from the United States Patent and Trademark Office The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO or USPTO) is an agency in the United States Department of Commerce that provides patent protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions, and trademark registration for product and intellectual property (USPTO USPTO abbr. United States Patent and Trademark Office ). The first patent (7,007,049) recognizes InnoPath's unique method for supporting device memory management during electronic file updating. This technology allows the creation of larger contiguous blocks of free or unused memory within the Flash ROM Another term for flash memory. Since flash chips can be updated over and over, the ROM (read only) designation is somewhat misleading. "ROM" is used more to mean not volatile than not changeable. See flash memory. Flash ROM - Flash Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory program or coding area by moving existing blocks to create larger 'free memory' areas that can be used for larger software updates. This function is similar to defragging a hard drive on a personal computer. The second patent (7,003,534) recognizes a new method of generating different files using module information of embedded software components. The software component distributor (SCD ScD [L.] Scien´tiae Doc´tor (Doctor of Science). SCD 1 Sickle cell disease, see there 2 Subacute combined degeneration, see there 3 Sudden cardiac death, see there ) generates a new map file, hex file and device memory map (DMM See multimeter. DMM - Digital Multimeter ). The SCD compares the new DMM and the corresponding original DMM, after the comparison is made the SCD inserts new data. Checking a module by its name and version is more efficient since modules can be many megabytes in size. "These two new patents illustrate InnoPath's strong commitment to innovation for the mobile device market," said Dr. Tom London, vice president, research and development at InnoPath. "Our design teams are not just looking to create ordinary products, the goal is to make the fastest and most efficient technologies available. Being awarded these patents is a testament to the company's hard work when it comes to bringing innovative technologies to the market." InnoPath's two new technologies will enable mobile device users to experience enhanced speed when downloading new files or updates and give providers the ability to fully utilize a device's memory capabilities. As mobile devices become more advanced and powerful applications are used it is vital that service providers and mobile device manufacturers incorporate these new technologies to enhance the user's experience. Leading operators and handset manufacturers have selected InnoPath's OTA technology as the preferred carrier-grade mobile device management solution. InnoPath is the first OTA device management company to actively update handset firmware in commercial deployments, and has helped to bring the first commercialized OTA-capable mobile phones to market. Today, millions of subscribers' handsets have already been updated with OTA technology provided by InnoPath. With InnoPath's proven OTA device management solution, operators and handset manufacturers reduce risk, accelerate time to market for new products and services, increase customer satisfaction and retention, lower operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales and increase revenue -- offering a clear service differentiation.
