Abstract
A control method includes obtaining a trigger signal that changes an operation status of an electronic device and controlling a target storage member of the electronic device to switch to an application mode corresponding to the trigger signal to cause the target storage member to respond to different data read/write operations from the electronic device through different data read/write paths. Configuration parameters of the target storage member are different in different application modes.
Claims20
A control method comprising:
- obtaining a trigger signal that changes an operation status of an electronic device;
- and
- controlling a target storage member of the electronic device to switch to an application mode corresponding to the trigger signal, the application mode comprising a first application mode or a second application mode, the target storage member comprising a first data interface, a second data interface, a controller core, and a storage area, wherein the first data interface and the second data interface are each configured to communicate data between the target storage member and a member of the electronic device external to the target storage member, the first data interface is configured to transmit data according to a first data transmission protocol, and the second data interface is configured to transmit data according to a second data transmission protocol different from the first data transmission protocol, wherein, when the target storage member is in the first application mode, the target storage member responds to first data read/write operations through a first data read/write path formed by the first data interface, the controller core, and the storage area, wherein, when the target storage member is in the second application mode, the target storage member responds to second data read/write operations through a second data read/write path formed by the second data interface, the controller core, and the storage area, and the first data read/write path and the second data read/write path are different from one another;
- wherein the target storage member is associated with first configuration parameters when the target storage member is in the first application mode, the target storage member is associated with second configuration parameters when the target storage member is in the second application mode, and the first configuration parameters are different from the second configuration parameters.
