Abstract
A system for a storage medium that provides a method of integrating a non-volatile display, such as an e-paper with an electronic storage medium, and including a self-encrypting solid-state memory device. The system utilizes existing e-paper technology coupled with a receiver that can access various types of information to be displayed on the e-paper. This information can be dynamic user data, administrative data, security data, or other information. The receiver may obtain this information via wireless communication, through meta data on the storage medium, through a direct link through the storage medium or other related methodology.
Claims20
An e-paper system disposed upon a surface of an electronic data storage unit comprising:
- a solid state data acquisition device configured to acquire and transfer digital media data, and wherein said digital media data is stored within said electronic data storage data unit;
- a digital display, attached and electrically connected to said solid state data acquisition device for abstracting and editing said stored data to form a stream of descriptive data on said digital display;
- a graphical user interface in communication with said digital display for transmitting said digital media data thereto, for gathering said stream of descriptive data, and for formatting it for display upon said digital display disposed upon a non-volatile digital display surface of said electronic data storage unit;
- a digital media cartridge that automatically encrypts said digital media data before storing said digital media data on said device, wherein a docking device is used to read said digital media cartridge and copy contents of said digital media cartridge to said solid state data acquisition device;
- and
- a mission metadata module presented on said digital display in communication with said graphical user interface, wherein said descriptive data presented on said digital display and stored within said electronic data storage unit includes metadata, and wherein said metadata provides device security information and passes said information and summarizes characteristics of the data stored and wherein said descriptive data stored within said electronic data storage unit is output to an e-paper displayed upon a non-volatile digital display surface of said electronic data storage unit.

A method for labelling a surface of an electronic data storage unit using e-paper system disposed upon a surface of said electronic data storage unit for indicating contents of said electronic data storage unit comprising:
- activating a first solid state computer memory for acquiring data stored within said electronic data storage data unit and solid state data acquisition device;
- abstracting and editing said stored data to form a stream of descriptive data on a graphical user interface in communication with a digital display on said solid state data acquisition device;
- activating a second solid state computer memory for gathering said stream of descriptive data and formatting it for presentation and transmission on an e-paper digital display disposed upon a non-volatile digital display surface of said electronic data storage unit for observation by human users of said system;
- encrypting automatically digital media data via a digital media cartridge before storing said digital media data on said device, wherein a docking device is used to read said digital media cartridge and copy contents of said digital media cartridge to said solid state data acquisition device;
- and
- presenting a mission metadata module on said digital display in communication with said graphical user interface, wherein said descriptive data presented on said digital display and stored within said electronic data storage unit includes metadata, and wherein said metadata provides device security information and passes said information and summarizes characteristics of the data stored and wherein said descriptive data stored within said electronic data storage unit is output to an e-paper displayed upon a non-volatile digital display surface of said electronic data storage unit.

An e-paper system disposed upon a surface of an electronic solid state drive data storage unit comprising:
- a first electronic solid state data acquisition device for acquiring digital media data, and wherein said digital media data is stored within said electronic data storage data unit;
- a digital display, attached and electrically connected to said solid state data acquisition device for abstracting and editing said stored data to form a stream of descriptive data on said digital display;
- a graphical user interface in communication with said digital display for transmitting said digital media data to said digital display;
- a second electronic solid state drive data transmission device for gathering said stream of descriptive data and formatting it for display upon said digital e-paper display disposed upon the surface of said electronic data storage unit;
- a digital media cartridge that automatically encrypts said digital media data before storing said digital media data on said device, wherein a docking device is used to read said digital media cartridge and copy contents of said digital media cartridge to said solid state data acquisition device;
- and
- a mission metadata module presented on said digital display in communication with said graphical user interface, wherein said descriptive data presented on said digital display and stored within said electronic data storage unit includes metadata depicting representative ownership, document and device versions and date last used, security class and capacity available, and wherein said metadata provides device security information and passes said information and summarizes characteristics of the data stored and wherein said descriptive data stored within said electronic data storage unit is output to an e-paper displayed upon a non-volatile digital display surface of said electronic data storage unit.
