Windows Portable Devices (WPD) provides an infrastructure to enable multifunction devices that store various media and non-media content. Additionally, WPD makes these devices accessible from a Windows-based computer. The object-based Device-Driver Interface (DDI) enables convergent devices, initially focused on smart storage devices such as portable media players, digital still cameras, and mobile phones. Along with a DDI, WPD implements a class driver solution for the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) for portable devices.
