Abstract

A system implemented on an augmented reality electronic device includes scanning an item using the augmented reality device. Financial information is obtained from the scanned item. The financial information and an indication of user authentication are sent to a server computer. A confirmation is displayed on the augmented reality device that a financial transaction using the financial information has been completed.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium of an augmented reality electronic computing device including instructions embedded thereon which, when executed by the augmented reality electronic computing device, cause the augmented reality electronic computing device to:

authenticate a user using biometric information, including one or more of facial recognition, retinal scan, voice print and fingerprint scan;

scan a receipt;

receive a voice command specifying deselection of one or more items on the receipt, the voice command causing the augmented reality electronic computing device to deselect the one or more items creating a modified receipt;

obtain financial information from the modified receipt to be included in an expense report, the financial information to be included in the expense report excluding the one or more items that were deselected on the receipt;

register the modified receipt excluding the one or more items that were deselected on the receipt;

send the financial information from the modified receipt to a server computer;

receive from the server computer a confirmation that the financial information from the modified receipt has been included in the expense report; and

display the confirmation on the augmented reality electronic computing device.

2. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1, further comprising instructions which, when executed by the augmented reality electronic computing device, cause the augmented reality electronic computing device to:

receive the expense report from the server computer; and

display the expense report on the augmented reality electronic computing device.

3. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality electronic computing device is a headset comprising a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display.

4. An augmented reality electronic computing device, comprising:

a wearable headset having a camera;

an optical display mounted to the wearable headset and having a glass portion;

an input controller configured to receive voice input from a user;

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions embedded thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;

authenticate a user using biometric information, including one or more facial recognition, retinal scan, voice print and fingerprint scan;

scan a receipt using the camera;

receive a voice command from a wearer of the wearable headset using the input controller, the voice command specifying deselection of one or more items on the receipt, the voice command causing the augmented reality electronic computing device to deselect the one or more items creating a modified receipt;

obtain financial information from the modified receipt to be included in an expense report, the financial information to be included in the expense report excluding the one or more items that were deselected on the receipt;

send the financial information from the modified receipt to a server computer;

receive, from the server computer, a confirmation that the financial information from the modified receipt has been included in the expense report; and

display the confirmation in the glass portion of the optical display.
