Overview
MobileID
™ is an easy-to-use, wireless, automated, client/server fingerprint
identification system for law enforcement officers and other personnel.
Running on a commercially-available Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
device such as Pocket PC®, Cogent’s
MobileID
software delivers the
power of an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in a
portable handheld format. When combined with
BlueCheck
™, Cogent’s
latest portable capture device,
MobileID
allows users to quickly and easily
perform in-the-field fingerprint identifications.
You can simply have a subject place his/her finger onto a fingerprint capture
device for fast and easy identification. The software provides you with an
assortment of tools for viewing, identifying, and saving records, allowing a
one-to-one comparison of existing fingerprint records to verify identity.
MobileID
is not stand alone software; it works together with the
LAFIS
™
(LACRIS Automated Fingerprint Identification System) database,
accessible from a PDA in the field.
MobileID System Features
MobileID
system features include:
• capturing fingerprint images;
• performing searches against the CAFIS tenprint database;
• identifying a subject; and
• viewing and entering associated demographic information.

(for Administrators only)
In order for the two Bluetooth-enabled devices to communicate with each
other, you must perform Bluetooth pairing. When this is accomplished, the
two devices join what is called a trusted pair relationship. When one device
recognizes another device in an established trusted pair, each device
automatically accepts communication, bypassing the discovery and
authentication process that normally happen during Bluetooth interactions.
Pairing the Bluetooth Enabled Devices
The devices are paired after the
Pocket PC
PDA locates the
BlueCheck
capture device.
To pair the Pocket PC PDA with the BlueCheck capture device, follow
these steps:
1Use the stylus to tap on the Start button, located on the top-left corner
of the Pocket PC PDA screen. A drop-down menu will be displayed.
2Select Settings from the drop-down menu. The Settings window will be
displayed, an example of which is shown in Figure 3-1.
