An electronic apparatus for recording data using a non-volatile memory is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The non-volatile memory stores a plurality of sets of playing information of the electronic apparatus. The controller is coupled to the non-volatile memory for receiving an input data and transforming a data structure of the input data into a bitmapping data structure. The controller includes a bitmapping module that is capable of transforming the input data into data having at least one bit but less than one byte in a bitmapping manner.

Electronic apparatus of recording data using non-volatile memory

An error corrector with a high use efficiency of a memory includes a memory, a bus device, an input buffer and an error correction module. The memory stores data. The bus device controls a memory access. The input buffer receives and temporarily stores a coded blockcode data, and writes the coded blockcode data in the memory through the bus device. The error correction module reads the coded blockcode data in the memory through the bus device and decodes it in rows and columns to thereby obtain decoded data and check bytes. The error correction module writes the decoded data in the memory through the bus device and discards the check bytes.

Error corrector with a high use efficiency of a memory

A method for recording data using a non-volatile memory and an electronic apparatus thereof are provided. In the present method, a set of input data is provided. Then, a data structure of the input data is transformed into a bitmapping data structure. Afterwards, the input data is written sequentially into the non-volatile memory using at least one bit as a basic unit of modification. A total number of bits being modified is then calculated, so as to obtain information needed by the system. Therefore, a minimal memory space is used to record most information, so as to reduce the times for erasing the non-volatile memory and increase the life time of the non-volatile memory.
