Abstract
A personal portable storage device (PPSD). The PPSD has a storage medium. The PPSD also includes a wireless component, coupled to the storage medium. Additionally, the PPSD includes transfer management electronics, coupled to the storage medium, which allow a host device to access the PPSD through the wireless component without requiring physical connections between the PPSD and the host device. The PPSD includes a self-contained energy source, coupled to the transfer management electronics. The PPSD also has a housing, which at least partially encloses the storage medium, the wireless component, the energy source, and the transfer management electronics, and is of a size and shape well-suited to being carried on a person, so that the PPSD is easy to transport.
