B) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A unique identification card or device is a hand device to give details about a person. In present days a various nations provide national identification database in which a biometric detail, a housing detail, a location detail, a banking detail, etc. are stored. These details assist the government in tracking a person or his/her belongings during a lost scenario, a theft, a crime accusation and other data logs. For collecting the details related to a person, the government in various jurisdictions have established specialized centres.
[0003] One of the prior arts discloses a portable identification apparatus and an associated identification and authentication system. The portable apparatus stores the biometric data of an authorised user and includes a biometric scanner for acquiring biometric data of a user. A processor compares acquired biometric data with the stored biometric data to identify a user of the apparatus, and generates identification information relating to the authorised user if the acquired biometric data matches the stored biometric data. An IRIS scanner is also provided to capture the retina scan of an individual. A web camera is also provided to capture the photograph of an individual. A wireless communication interface transmits the identification information through a communication terminal such as a data card, mobile telephone, for use in a transaction. The data is stored at an authentication centre which comprises a server with an associated database for identifying each

identification apparatus, as well as biometric data corresponding to the stored biometric data in each identification apparatus, and encryption keys for decrypting data in the identification informationtransmitted via the communication terminal. [0004] However, the prior arts are bulkier to be carried by a single person, thus needs a transportation means when intentioned to transfer from one location to another. This consumes a lot of time as well as cost is high in installation of the prior art apparatuses. Also the prior arts take multi-level channels and device inclusion to create a real time identification form. Also the previous arts were in desegregated form and lacks an integrated form, where all these individual peripherals can be housed
[0005] In the view of foregoing, there is a need for a portable unique identification device with highly compact design. Further there is a need for a portable unique identification device with pre-installed application to create a person's identification form at a real time.
[0006] The above mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein, as detailed below.
C) OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a portable device
for unique identification.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable device for
capturing and storing the biometric, IRIS details, photo and other individual's
data.
[0009] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a highly compact
design for a unique identification enrolment kit.
[00010] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a portable device
with an integrated software application to formulate an identification form and
transfer it to a central server.
[00011] These and other objects and advantages of the embodiments herein will
become readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in
conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
