Paperless application
Systems, methods, and programs of processing and transmitting information between devices are disclosed. A receiving device may generate a key. A transmitting device may scan the key. The transmitting device may transmit information to a file management system in response to scanning the key. A user associated with the receiving device may indicate a location to store the information. The user may access the information from the file management system.
1. A method comprising:
creating, by a consumer device, a digital folder based on an expense classification in a file management system;
generating, by the consumer device, a key for a transaction, wherein the key comprises a randomly generated number associated on a one-to-one basis with the digital folder;
displaying, by the consumer device, the key on a screen of the consumer device;
transmitting, by the consumer device, the key for a transaction to a receiving device;
transmitting, by the consumer device, the randomly generated number to the file management system; and
instructing, by the consumer device and via the file management system, a merchant device to transmit a receipt to the digital folder;
wherein the merchant device scans the key displayed on the consumer device; and
wherein, in response to the merchant device scanning the key, the merchant device is configured to transmit the receipt to the digital folder based on an expense classification of the receipt matching the expense classification of the digital folder.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the key comprises at least one of a matrix barcode or a barcode.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the consumer device, a request to access the receipt to the file management system.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the request to access the receipt includes the randomly generated number.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, by the consumer device, the receipt on a screen of the consumer device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the file management system comprises a cloud computing system.
7. A system comprising:
a processor in a consumer device,
a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,
the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
creating, by the consumer device, a digital folder based on an expense classification in a file management system;
generating, by the consumer device, a key for a transaction, wherein the key comprises a randomly generated number associated on a one-to-one basis with the digital folder;
displaying, by the consumer device, the key on a screen of the consumer device;
transmitting, by the consumer device, the key for a transaction to a receiving device;
transmitting, by the consumer device, the randomly generated number to the file management system; and
instructing, by the consumer device and via the file management system, a merchant device to transmit a receipt to the digital folder;
wherein the merchant device scans the key displayed on the consumer device; and
wherein, in response to the merchant device scanning the key, the merchant device is configured to transmit the receipt to the digital folder based on an expense classification of the receipt matching the expense classification of the digital folder.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the key comprises at least one of a matrix barcode or a barcode.
9. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising transmitting, by the consumer device, a request to access the receipt to the file management system.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the request includes the randomly generated number.
11. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising displaying, by the consumer device, the receipt on a screen of the consumer device.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the file management system comprises a cloud computing system.
13. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a consumer device, cause the consumer device to perform operations comprising:
creating, by the consumer device, a digital folder based on an expense classification in a file management system;
generating, by the consumer device, a key for a transaction, wherein the key comprises a randomly generated number associated on a one-to-one basis with the digital folder;
displaying, by the consumer device, the key on a screen of the consumer device;
transmitting, by the consumer device, the key for a transaction to a receiving device;
transmitting, by the consumer device, the randomly generated number to the file management system; and
instructing, by the consumer device and via the file management system, a merchant device to transmit a receipt to the digital folder;
wherein the merchant device scans the key displayed on the consumer device; and
wherein, in response to the merchant device scanning the key, the merchant device is configured to transmit the receipt to the digital folder based on an expense classification of the receipt matching the expense classification of the digital folder.
14. The article of manufacture of claim 13 , wherein the key comprises at least one of a matrix barcode or a barcode.
15. The article of manufacture of claim 13 , the operations further comprising transmitting, by the consumer device, a request to access the receipt to the file management system.
16. The article of manufacture of claim 15 , wherein the request includes the randomly generated number.
17. The article of manufacture of claim 13 , the operations further comprising displaying, by the consumer device, the receipt on a screen of the consumer device.
18. The article of manufacture of claim 13 , wherein the file management system comprises a cloud computing system.
