摘要

A method includes receiving, at a portable device, information associated with a traveler. The information includes information from a passport of the traveler, a photograph of the traveler, and travel-related information associated with the traveler. The method also includes wirelessly transmitting at least a portion of the information to an external system and receiving a disposition code from the external system. The disposition code indicates whether the traveler is allowed to pass a customs/border enforcement area or is required to enter the customs/border enforcement area for additional processing. The method further includes presenting the disposition code or information associated with the disposition code on a display of the portable device.
