Abstract

A portable storage device along with its operating method comprises a data disc with at least a memory chip and an application program installed into the memory chip. The data disc with superior mobility is provided with a plurality of metal contacts connected to a computer. The application program comprises a screen capture module or a video module, an interception module and a storage space. The present invention could be applied to any computer by one user who intends to record current status shown on a display panel for this action rapidly and conveniently executed. The present invention is effective in not only data on a display panel rapidly and easily recorded but also high transitivity & mobility.
