Abstract

Multimode, multi-function, multiple modulator-demodulator (modem) system containing a fingerprint sensor, detection, identification, authentication, and processing device for one or multiple fingerprint information to activate one or multiple modulators for signal transmission and generation of authentication information signals. A location information receiver and a processor device for processing and combining the location information and fingerprint information activated signals with one or more additional user generated signals. Processed, combined signals are provided for filtering and/or spread spectrum encoding and/or cross-correlating and connection to one or more modulators and transmitters.
