Abstract

A system and method for transferring electronic receipts to a user device is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises, a point of sale device configured for generating a receipt in the electronic file format, and a beamer device comprising, a processor configured for fetching the electronic receipt from the point of sale device, an input/output module configured for receiving at least a selection of a channel among one or more channels from a user of the user device for transferring the electronic receipt to the user device, wherein the one or more channels comprises at least one of a Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, Tethering or phone-as-modem (PAM), Wi-Fi and Internet, and a communication module configured for communicating the electronic receipt to the user device through the selected the selected channel.

Claims

1. A system for transferring an electronic receipt to a user device, the system comprising:

a point of sale device configured for generating a receipt in an electronic file format; and

a beamer device comprising;

a processor configured for fetching the electronic receipt from the point of sale device;

an input/output module configured for receiving at least a selection of a channel among one or more channels from a user of the user device for transferring the electronic receipt to the user device, wherein the one or more channels comprises at least one of a Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, Tethering or phone-as-modem (PAM), Wi-Fi, and Internet; and

a communication module configured for communicating the electronic receipt to the user device through the selected channel.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user device is further configured for syncing the electronic receipt with a server.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the communication module comprises at least one of a Near Field Communication (NFC) circuitry, Bluetooth circuitry, infrared circuitry, Tethering, or phone-as-modem (PAM) circuitry, Wi-Fi, internet circuitry, and the like.

4. A method of transferring an electronic receipt to a user device, the method comprising:

generating, by a point of sale device, a receipt in the electronic file format;

fetching, by a beamer device, the electronic receipt from the point of sale device;

receiving, by the beamer device, at least a selection of a channel among one or more channels from a user of the user device for transferring the electronic receipt to the user device, wherein the one or more channels comprises at least one of a Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, Tethering or phone-as-modem (PAM), Wi-Fi, and Internet;

establishing, by the beamer device, a communication channel with the user device; and

communicating, by the beamer device, the electronic receipt to the user device through the selected the selected channel.
