Abstract

Systems, methods, and programs of processing and transmitting information between devices are disclosed. A receiving device may generate a key. A transmitting device may scan the key. The transmitting device may transmit information to a file management system in response to scanning the key. A user associated with the receiving device may indicate a location to store the information. The user may access the information from the file management system.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

creating, by a receiving device comprising a consumer mobile phone, a digital folder based on an expense classification in a file management system;

generating, by the receiving device, a key for a transaction, wherein the key comprises a randomly generated number configured to guard the digital folder;

transmitting, by the receiving device, the randomly generated number to the file management system;

instructing, by the receiving device and in response to the generating the key, the file management system to instruct a merchant point-of-sale transmitting device to transmit a document to the digital folder, wherein the document comprises a receipt for the transaction;

displaying, by the receiving device, the key on a display of the receiving device;

wherein the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device optically scans the key from the display of the receiving device;

wherein, in response to the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device scanning the key on the display of the receiving device, the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device is configured to transmit the document to the digital folder based on an expense classification of the document matching the expense classification of the digital folder;

transmitting, by the receiving device, a request to access the document to the file management system, wherein the request includes the randomly generated number; and

displaying, by the receiving device, the document on a screen of the receiving device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the key comprises at least one of a QR code or a barcode.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the file management system comprises a cloud computing system.

4. A system comprising:

a processor in a receiving device comprising a consumer mobile phone configured for receiving documents,

a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,

the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;

creating, by the processor, a digital folder based on an expense classification in a file management system;

generating, by the processor, a key for a transaction, wherein the key comprises a randomly generated number configured to guard the digital folder;

transmitting, by the processor, the randomly generated number to the file management system;

instructing, by the processor and in response to the generating the key, the file management system to instruct a merchant point-of-sale transmitting device to transmit a document to the digital folder, wherein the document comprises a receipt for the transaction;

displaying, by the processor, the key on a display of the receiving device;

wherein the point-of-sale transmitting device optically scans the key from the display of the receiving device;

wherein, in response to the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device scanning the key on the display of the receiving device, the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device is configured to transmit the document to the digital folder based on an expense classification of the document matching the expense classification of the digital folder;

transmitting, by the processor, a request to access the document to the file management system, wherein the request includes the randomly generated number; and

displaying, by the processor, the document on a screen of the receiving device.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the key comprises at least one of a QR code or a barcode.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the file management system comprises a cloud computing system.

7. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system configured for transmitting information between devices, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

creating, by a receiving device comprising a consumer mobile phone, a digital folder based on an expense classification in a file management system;

generating, by the receiving device, a key for a transaction, wherein the key comprises a randomly generated number configured to guard the digital folder;

transmitting, by the receiving device, the randomly generated number to the file management system;

instructing, by the receiving device and in response to the generating the key, the file management system to instruct a merchant point-of-sale transmitting device to transmit a document to the digital folder, wherein the document comprises a receipt for the transaction;

displaying, by the receiving device, the key on a display of the receiving device;

wherein the point-of-sale transmitting device optically scans the key from the display of the receiving device;

wherein, in response to the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device scanning the key on the display of the receiving device, the merchant point-of-sale transmitting device is configured to transmit the document to the digital folder based on an expense classification of the document matching the expense classification of the digital folder;

transmitting, by the receiving device, a request to access the document to the file management system, wherein the request includes the randomly generated number; and

displaying, by the receiving device, the document on a screen of the receiving device.

8. The article of manufacture of claim 7, wherein the key comprises at least one of a QR code or a barcode.
