OTG是on-the-go的简称，是2001年由USB Implementers Forum公布，主要应用于各种不同的设备或移动设备间的联接，进行数据交换。特别是PDA、移动电话、消费类设备。改变如数码照相机、摄像机、打印机等设备间多种不同制式连接器，多达7种制式的存储卡间数据交换的不便。
对OTG介绍比较详细的在USB的官网，详细请见英文文档： http://www.usb.org/developers/onthego/。以下是官网的一个简要的介绍，贴出来看看：
USB On-The-Go and Embedded Host

Virtually every portable device now uses USB for PC connectivity. As these products increase in popularity, there is a growing need for them to communicate both with USB peripherals and directly with each other when a PC is not available. There is also an increase in the number of other, non-PC hosts (Embedded Hosts) which support USB in order to connect to USB peripherals.

The USB On-The-Go and Embedded Host Supplements addresses these scenarios by allowing portable devices and non-PC hosts to have the following enhancements:

Targeted host capability to communicate with selected other USB peripherals
Support for direct connections between OTG devices
Power saving features to preserve battery life
