Abstract
An identification appliance such as a wristband, headband, armband, ankleband, or legband which has a wireless communication circuit to communicate with a system, network, or device. The identification appliance preferably communicates with a Bluetooth local network and may issue or receive commands or data including voice data. An example command is to expand privileges given to the user of the identification appliance, such as entrance into a restricted area. The information appliance may broadcast its location via a Global Positioning System and have voice activation or speech recognition. The appliance may provide information about the authorized bearer such as his name, address, phone number, passport number, driver'"'"'s license data, social security number, credit card information, fingerprint data, biometric voice characteristics, retinal characteristics, medical data and so on.
