Abstract

Electronic point of sale (EPOS) electronic receipt production includes sending an electronic receipt to an electronic device of the user. The transmission may be direct using a transmitter within an EPOS terminal and a short-range wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth (RTM) or near-field communications. Otherwise the electronic receipt can be delivered to a mobile telephone of the user using SMS messaging or can be delivered to an email account of the user. The EPOS terminal may have touch screen 7 and voice command 8 inputs and have coin 11 and bank note 12 inputs as well as a card reader 14. The EPOS terminal preferably has a network connection. A biometric scanner 9 can be provided in the EPOS terminal so that the identity of a user can be confirmed. The EPOS terminal is preferably a self-service checkout unit. Software may also be provided on the mobile telephone of the user to store the electronic receipts received from the EPOS terminal.

Description

Specifications:
The EPOS based eReceipt production, transmission and retrieval system Touch Screen Interfaces Touch Screen Keypad: For user interaction such as typing, information editing, hardware component controls in place of a traditional key board.
Touch Screen Scrolling Pad: For user interaction such as horizontal, lateral or diagonal scrolling of the displayed images in place of a traditional mouse.
Touch Screen Power Status Bars: For user interaction confirming the status and operation of the inbuilt communication ports, transceivers and availability of power via the DC jack plug in from the solar power source or other building mains power supply.
Battery Power Portable Electric Power Battery (Lithium Ion): Lightweight battery designed to store electric power for distribution to the hardware unit's components in the absence of its primary power source.
