Abstract

In an example embodiment, after a transaction, a Quick Response (“QR”) code having data representative of the transaction (e.g., a receipt) is displayed on a user interface of a device involved in the performance of the transaction. The QR code can be scanned, for example by a mobile device such as a mobile telephone, which can generate a receipt for the transaction (or transactions) based on the QR code.

Claims

1. Logic encoded in a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium for execution, and when executed operable to:

perform transactions based on data obtained from users via a user interface module. that comprises a display and an input;

cause the display to output an option for users to request one of a group consisting of a printed receipt a quick response (QR) code receipt, and both a printed receipt and a QR code for a transaction;

obtain a selection via the input from users indicating a selection of one of the group consisting of a printed receipt a quick response (QR) code receipt, and both a printed receipt and a QR code for a transaction;

wherein the processor is operable to selectively print a receipt for a transaction to users selecting a printed receipt;

wherein the processor is operable to selectively display a QR code for a transaction on the display to users selecting a QR code receipt, wherein the QR code comprises data representative of the transaction; and

wherein the processor is operable to selectively both print a receipt and display a QR code to users selecting both a receipt and a QR code.

2. The logic set forth in claim 1, further operable to encrypt the data representative of the transaction.

3. The logic set forth in claim 2, further operable to generate the QR code with the encrypted data representative of the transaction.

4. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the QR code comprises data representative of a plurality of transactions.

5. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the transaction is a deposit.

6. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the transaction is a cash withdrawal.

7. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the transaction is a balance inquiry;

and

the data representative of a transaction comprises account balance data.

8. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the transaction is a payment for a good, a service, or a combination of a good and service.

9. The logic set forth in claim 1, further operable to obtain data indicating the QR code was read by a device associated with a user associated with the transaction.

10. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the QR code is displayed for a predetermined time period.

11. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the data representative of the transaction comprises an amount of the transaction.

12. The logic set forth in claim 1, wherein the data representative of the transaction comprises an account associated with the transaction.

13. The logic set forth in claim 1, further comprising providing an option on a user interface for selectively providing a paper receipt;

and

cause a paper receipt to be created responsive to receiving an input from the user requesting a paper receipt.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

a user interface module that comprises a display and an input;

a printer; and

a processor coupled with the user interface module, and the printer;

wherein the processor is operable to perform transactions based on data obtained from users via the user interface module;

wherein the processor is operable to output on the display an option for users to request one of a group consisting of a printed receipt a quick response (QR) code receipt, and both a printed receipt and a QR code for a transaction;

wherein the processor is operable to obtain a user selections via the input from users indicating a selection of one of the group consisting of a printed receipt a quick response (QR) code receipt, and both a printed receipt and a QR code for a transaction;

wherein the processor is operable to selectively print a receipt for a transaction to users selecting a printed receipt;

wherein the processor is operable to selectively display a QR code for a transaction on the display to users selecting a QR code receipt, wherein the QR code comprises data representative of the transaction; and

wherein the processor is operable to selectively both print a receipt and display a QR code to users selecting both a receipt and a QR code.

21. The apparatus set forth in claim 14, the processor is further operable to encrypt the data representative of the transaction.

22. The apparatus set forth in claim 21, the processor is further operable to generate the QR code with the encrypted data representative of the transaction.

23. The apparatus set forth in claim 14, wherein the QR code comprises data representative of a plurality of transactions.

24. The apparatus set forth in claim 14, wherein the transaction is a deposit.

25. The apparatus set forth in claim 14, wherein the transaction is a cash withdrawal.

26. The apparatus set forth in claim 14, wherein the transaction is a balance inquiry;

and

the data representative of a transaction comprises account balance data.
