Abstract
A multi-modal device that can substantially facilitate intelligent shopping. Electronic receipts can be provided to a user wirelessly and stored/indexed on the multi-modal device. Receipts can be categorized (e.g., personal, business, client entertainment) thereby facilitating financial management and accounting. Likewise, such electronic receipts can provide for easier return/exchange of goods. The multi-modal device can also assist in tracking/managing shopping lists and business cards (e.g., provide for business card exchanges). Moreover, the multi-modal device can provide for comparison shopping, catalog shopping, locating products and obtaining more information about a product via visual or audio mechanisms.
