Method for recording chip usage state information, chip of imaging cartridge and imaging cartridge

A chip of an imaging cartridge capable of coupling with an imaging device, comprising:

• a substrate, and
• an information storage section and a control section which are provided on the substrate, wherein
• the information storage section comprises a prioritized writing area and a normal read-write area,
• the prioritized writing area is used for storing a chip service state parameter relate to the chip, and is used for the control section to proactively update the chip service state parameter, while the normal read-write area is used for the imaging device,
• the control section is configured to prioritizedly update the chip service state parameter stored in the prioritized writing area when the control section detects at least one triggering conditions by:
• delaying execution of an operation command in an instruction from the imaging device, but first updating the chip service state parameter stored in said prioritized writing area, and
• executing the operation command in the instruction from the imaging device after the updating of the chip service state parameter,
• wherein the chip service state parameter stored in the prioritized writing area comprises one or more of a times-of-writes parameter, a normal communication parameter, a times-of-reads parameter, a times-of-communication-faults parameter, and a times-of-communication-interference parameter;
• and
• wherein:
• when the chip usage state information parameter comprises the times-of-communication-faults parameter, the control section is specifically configured to,
• when the chip receives a write operation command sent by the imaging device, before executing the write operation command in the instruction from the imaging device, firstly access the prioritized writing area and increase the times-of-communication-faults parameter stored in the prioritized writing area by 1;
• after executing the write operation command and data has been successfully written into the information storage section, access the prioritized writing area for a second time by decreasing the times-of-communication-faults parameter stored in the prioritized writing area by 1.

An imaging cartridge, comprising a chip of imaging cartridge capable of coupling with an imaging device, wherein

• the chip comprises an information storage section and a control section,
• the information storage section includes a prioritized writing area and a normal read-write area,
• the prioritized writing area is used for the control section to proactively update a chip service state parameter, while the normal read-write area is used for the imaging device, and
• the control section is configured to, during a process when the imaging device accesses the chip for read-write operations on data in the information storage section,
• receive a writing command sent by the imaging device to update the data in the information storage section;
• determine a triggering condition of receiving a writing command is satisfied;
• delay execution of the writing command, while firstly rewrite the prioritized writing area to update the chip service state parameter, which includes a times-of-communication-faults parameter, by increasing the times-of-communication-faults parameter stored in the prioritized writing area by 1;
• execute the writing command after rewriting the prioritized writing area;
• and
• after the writing command is executed successfully, rewrite the prioritized writing area for a second time after execution of the writing command to update the chip service state parameter for a second time by decreasing the times-of-communication-faults parameter stored in the prioritized writing area by 1.
