Digitala kvitton och dess framtida tillämpningar / Digital receipts and their future applications

<p><em>Consumers today leave a fragment of information when they pay with their debit and credit cards. The aim of our work is to investigate ways to design a concept of a system in which digitally stored information that today is fragmented among several different holders, can be assembled into a system and made available to consumers. In our study of how a system for financial flow of information should be designed, we intend to study the present situation and the attempts made to alter it into a more informative reality. We intend to investigate the flow of information when a consumer pays by card, and the possible solutions regarding the design and transportation of digital receipts. A majority of the information of our digital consumption is today handled digitally. We pay bills and make purchases online with debit- and credit cards. Some of this information is available digitally for the parties involved. However, there is an essential element of information that is not being made available digitally to consumers. The digital receipt is a natural part of the whole that is our idea. The digital nature of the information creates opportunities for new services and markets, but the digital receipt also replaces the unwanted physical receipt. We found that there is an interest among consumers for the introduction of the digital receipt and the information that it enables.</em> <em>We have for this purpose created a conceptual design, and initiated a discussion on the future systems of private financial information.</em></p> / <p><em>Consumers today leave a fragment of information when they pay with their debit and credit cards.
