Abstract

A mobile device for keeping transaction information at payer'"'"'s side is provided with an information keeping module therein. The information keeping module is suitable for obtaining first transaction information from at least one of a payment device and a point of sale terminal. Particularly, the first transaction information corresponds to a transaction performed between the payment device and the point of sale terminal.

Claims

1. A mobile device for keeping transaction information at payer'"'"'s side, comprising:

an information keeping module, suitable for obtaining first transaction information from at least one of a payment device and a point of sale terminal, wherein the first transaction information corresponds to a transaction performed between the payment device and the point of sale terminal.

2. The mobile device of claim 1, further comprising a wireless module for providing wireless communication services, wherein the first transaction information is obtained from the point of sale terminal via the wireless module.

3. The mobile device of claim 1, further comprising an accounting module, coupled to the information keeping module, for generating a first expenditure entry for the first transaction information according to a data format of an expense record.

4. The mobile device of claim 3, further comprising a storage module for storing the expense record.

5. The mobile device of claim 3, further comprising a wireless module for providing wireless communication services, wherein the expense record is maintained in a remote information center, and the first expenditure entry is stored into the expense record via the wireless module.

6. The mobile device of claim 3, wherein the information keeping module is further suitable for obtaining second transaction information from a service provider via a wireless module.

7. The mobile device of claim 6, wherein the accounting module further generates a second expenditure entry for the second transaction information according to the data format of the expense record.

8. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the transaction between the payment device and the point of sale terminal is performed using a Near Field Communication (NFC) technology or a Radio Frequency (RF) technology.

9. A mobile device for keeping transaction information at payer'"'"'s side, comprising:

an information keeping module, suitable for obtaining first transaction information from a service provider via a wireless module; and

an accounting module, coupled to the information keeping module, for generating a first expenditure entry for the first transaction information according to a data format of an expense record.

10. The mobile device of claim 9, further comprising a storage module for storing the expense record.

11. The mobile device of claim 9, wherein the expense record is maintained in a remote information center, and the first expenditure entry is stored into the expense record via the wireless module.

12. The mobile device of claim 9, wherein the information keeping module is further suitable for obtaining second transaction information from at least one of a payment device and a point of sale terminal, wherein the second transaction information corresponds to a transaction performed between the payment device and the point of sale terminal.

13. The mobile device of claim 12, further comprising a storage module for storing the expense record, wherein the accounting module further generates a second expenditure entry for the second transaction information according to the data format of the expense record.

14. The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the transaction between the payment device and the point of sale terminal is performed using a Near Field Communication (NFC) technology or a Radio Frequency (RF) technology.

15. A transaction information keeping method for a mobile device coupled with a payment device to keep transaction information at payer'"'"'s side, comprising:

obtaining first transaction information from at least one of the payment device and a point of sale terminal, wherein the first transaction information corresponds to a transaction performed between the payment device and the point of sale terminal; and

storing the first transaction information.

16. The transaction information keeping method of claim 15, further comprising:

generating a first expenditure entry for the first transaction information according to a data format of an expense record; and

storing the first expenditure entry in the expense record.
