Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A novel system and method for accessing data stored in a secure or tamperproof storage device in a wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device may include a biometric sensor for capturing a biometric sample of the user. The captured biometric sample may be compared to known biometric samples of users stored in a memory device of the wireless communication device. If the captured biometric sample matches one of the known biometric samples, the user is allowed access to the tamperproof storage device for a preset amount of time. The user may delete existing data, add new data, modify existing data or view existing data stored in the tamperproof storage device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A wireless communication device comprising: A wireless transceiver for facilitating communication between the wireless communication device and other devices over a wireless communication system: a biometric sensor for capturing a biometric sample of a user; a memory device, coupled to the biometric sensor, for storing a known biometric sample of the user; a tamperproof storage device for storing data, wherein the tamperproof storage device is a…
