Zusammenfassung:	A biometric authentication device for use with a telecommunications device such as a wireless phone having memory, processing power and communication capabilities is disclosed. The biometric device includes a fingerprint module having a fingerprint sensor for capturing a user's fingerprint placed onto the fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint module is interconnected and communicates with the telecommunications device. The fingerprint module also includes a portion adapted to receive and read a card containing electronic fingerprint information, such as a smart card. The fingerprint module is capable of determining a match between the user's fingerprint captured from the fingerprint sensor and the electronic fingerprint information stored on the smart card. Determination of the match between the end user captured fingerprint and the stored electronic fingerprint information enables biometric verification or identification of the end user. This information may be transmitted via the interconnected telecommunications device. The biometric device is useful in time and attendance, access and control as well as user identification and verification applications. Application program interface software used with the biometric device permits application specific solutions to be developed for biometric telecommunications.
