METHODS AND SYSTEMS USING A COMPUTING PLATFORM FOR ROUTING VIRTUAL RECEIPTS BY THE MERCHANT WITH A SCAN-ABLE CODE GENERATED BY THE CUSTOMER
First Claim
1. A method for receiving a virtual receipt by a customer from a computing platform, the method comprising:
- generating by a mobile device of the customer, using a receipt app connected to the computing platform, a scan-able code, for capture by a merchant for sending a virtual receipt to the customer wherein the customer using the receipt routing app generates a particular scan-able code with identifying data for capture by the merchant;
displaying the scan-able code by the customer, using a display of the mobile device when performing a particular transaction at a merchant point of sale (POS) in a manner to allow for capture by the merchant POS of the scan-able code in order to receive a virtual receipt of the particular transaction wherein the merchant POS captures the scan-able code using an image capture device coupled to the merchant POS device;
accessing, by the customer using the receipt app, an app storage cloud to access the virtual receipt using identifying data from the scan-able code presented by the customer to the merchant with corresponding identifying data to additional identifying data which has been generated by the merchant POS relating to the transaction wherein the identifying data comprises identifiers of one or more of;
time stamp data of the transaction, data about items or services purchased in the transaction; and
random data generated by the merchant POS during the time of the transaction; and
retrieving, by the customer using the receipt routing app, the virtual receipt at the mobile device of use by the customer.

8. A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage device and comprising instructions configurable to be executed by a processor to perform a method for retrieving a virtual receipt using an app platform, the method comprising:
-
generating by a mobile device of the customer, using a receipt app connected to the computing platform, a scan-able code, for capture by a merchant for sending a virtual receipt to the customer wherein the customer using the receipt routing app generates a particular scan-able code with identifying data for capture by the merchant; displaying the scan-able code by the customer, using a display of the mobile device when performing a particular transaction at a merchant point of sale (POS) in a manner to allow for capture by the merchant POS of the scan-able code in order to receive a virtual receipt of the particular transaction wherein the merchant POS captures the scan-able code using an image capture device coupled to the merchant POS device; accessing, by the customer using the receipt app, an app storage cloud to access the virtual receipt using identifying data from the scan-able code presented by the customer to the merchant with corresponding identifying data to additional identifying data which has been generated by the merchant POS relating to the transaction wherein the identifying data comprises identifiers of one or more of;
time stamp data of the transaction, data about items or services purchased in the transaction; and
random data generated by the merchant POS during the time of the transaction; andretrieving, by the customer using the receipt routing app, the virtual receipt at the mobile device of use by the customer. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18)
