Abstract

An information capturing device (10) includes a controller (12) and a memory (14). The controller (12) partitions a memory space of the memory (14) into a plurality of memory blocks (20). The controller (12) controls the storage of received information into a first set (22) of the plurality of memory blocks (20). The controller (12) continues to store received information only in the first set (22) of the plurality of memory blocks (20) through reuse and recycle until a first triggering event occurs. In response to the first triggering event, the controller (12) halts the storage of received information in the first set (22) of the plurality of memory blocks (20) and begins storing received information in a second set (24) of the plurality of memory blocks (20). When the second set (24) of the plurality of memory blocks (24) has reached its storage capacity, the controller (12) begins storing received information in a third set (26) of the plurality of memory blocks (20). The controller (12) continues to store received information only in the third set (26) of the plurality of memory blocks (20) through reuse and recycle until a second triggering event occurs. Information pertaining to the first triggering event is maintained in the first set (22) and the second set (24) of the plurality of memory blocks (20).
