Abstract
Data devices that receive data, store the data, and transmit the data without performing heavy computation. For example, such a data device may have a memory component and communication mechanism that transmits data and receives data. In the preferred embodiment, the data transmission would be wireless. Among other applications, one application of the data device would be to wireless payment systems.
Some applications of the data device authenticate a user'"'"'s identity via biometric technology requiring a low level of computing resources.
