Receipt Scanner

Lose receipts all the time ?

The receipt scanner is a tiny scanner that will scan them in and file them by date. Perhaps it will use OCR to recognise the shop you bought from.

    This makes no sense. You can take a photo with your cell phone and send it to Evernote. There are also pay services that will turn the photographs into spreadsheets.

    Have you used Evernote ? is it good ? looks interesting

    My idea is when you get home you shove all receipts into this scanner and it copies them, perhaps and keeps them in a great shoebox for you and you never have to look for them again.

    Scanning documents is in general a brilliant idea. I used to have cupboards full of files, but I have now scanned everything. Google sites is a free website service where you can upload your docs. They also index words in your docs for searching.

A Eureka Moment

The Dynamic Credit Card

The ubiquitous credit card is as secure as a box of Smarties   in a  kindergarten.   All credit cards should have a dynamic 4 last digits - 16 + 4 = 20 numbers.    The last four digits should change along a set sequence which is known only to the card and the card processor.  This would change every 10 minutes.   When making a purchase whether online or at a vendor : The card number and code would be validated via a secure web service which would authorise or reject it. Only the current generated or previous number would be accepted.   Each number would be valid for one purchase only.   The credit card could be equipped with a code or finger print recognition which would be needed to generate the number, so if the card was lost or stolen it would be unusable.   The card could also have a virtual version   which could be   installed on authorized cell phones.
