<p>The present invention describes an expansion module for a handheld computer which allows the handheld computer (100) and expansion module (200) to function together as a secure security-ID terminal that accepts IC based ID-cards (Smart Card) and IC based 'dog-tags' and presents the information to security personnel to validate the card holders authority to enter into a secure area. The present invention utilizes photo-ID and biometric data stored on the IC based ID-card (Smart Card) and IC based 'dog-tag' to validate that the person presenting the credentials is in fact the person authorized to be presenting them. The resultant mobile secure security-ID terminal meets the advanced security requirements of military and non-military security sites worldwide. By disconnecting the handheld computer from the expansion module, the handheld computer is restored to conventional operation.</p> |
