Abstract
A computing device and a method of operating the same are provided. The computing device includes a modem that communicates with an external device, a storage device, an application processor that accesses the storage device, and a switch that selectively provides one of a first communication path connecting the modem and the application processor and a second communication path connecting the modem and the storage device without passing through the application processor.
Claims14
A computing device comprising:
- a modem configured to communicate with an external device;
- a storage device;
- an application processor configured to access the storage device;
- and
- a switch configured to selectively provide one of a first communication path for connecting the modem and the application processor and a second communication path for connecting the modem and the storage device without passing through the application processor.
An operation method of a computing device which includes a storage device, a modem, and an application processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the modem, a first request or data from an external device;
- based on the first request or data corresponding to the application processor, providing, by a switch, a first communication path such that the first request or data is provided from the modem to the application processor;
- based on the first request or data corresponding to the storage device, providing, by the switch, a second communication path such that the first request or data is provided from the modem to the storage device without passing through the application processor;
- and
- providing, from the application processor, a second request or data to the storage device through a third communication path without passing through the switch.
