A system and architecture that supports an integrated imaging module (100) for use between networks and portable communications products. The integrated imaging module (100) contains a lens (102), memory (108), input/output means (110), and a multi-function semiconductor device, such as a Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS). Within the design of the CMOS device (130) are the functions of still and full-motion digital imaging, imaging processing, automatic identification, secure personal data base, biometric attribute identification for access control, personal finance information, wireless communication protocols, general purpose processing, and memory. The module (100) may be incorporated into any portable wireless communication products (220) and used to capture text and image data for incorporation into a wireless transmission to a remote device.
