ABSTRACT:
A multifunctional data card for carrying personal information includes a housing that has a keypad for initializing a selected program and entering a user access code unique to the selected program. The data card further includes a microprocessor disposed within the housing that is programmable via the keypad. A display panel is operably connected to the microprocessor for displaying a unique barcode associated with the selected program so that a vendor may scan the card and access data corresponding to the selected program. A fingerprint pad is attached to the microprocessor for verifying a cardholder identity after a barcode is scanned from the panel. A memory is connected to the microprocessor for storing user data therein so that the card will switched to an inoperable mode after a predetermined number of unauthorized attempts to access the card have been executed.
