Abstract

A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the mobile terminal are disclosed. A mobile terminal according to the present invention comprises a wireless communication unit; touch screen; memory; and a controller displaying on the touch screen an electronic receipt received through the wireless communication unit as payment of product is being processed, generating notification information on the basis of payment information obtained from the electronic receipt and service information according to the payment, and storing the notification information in the memory in conjunction with a calendar application. According to the present invention, notification information can be generated on the basis of the information obtained from an electronic receipt, and generated notification information can be managed in conjunction with a calendar application.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a wireless communication unit;
a touch screen;
a memory; and
a controller configured to:
display on the touch screen an electronic receipt received through the wireless communication unit as payment of product is being processed,
generate notification information on the basis of payment information obtained from the electronic receipt and service information according to the payment,
wherein the payment information includes seller information of the product, time of the payment, amount of the payment, and name of the product, and
wherein the service information includes at least one of information related to refund, replacement, after-sales service, or warranty of the product, and
store the notification information in the memory in conjunction with a calendar application,

wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the wireless communication unit to connect a sales system,
request the service information from the sales system, and
receive the service information not obtained from the electronic receipt through the wireless communication unit on the basis of the seller information, in case at least one of the service information is not obtained from the electronic receipt, and

wherein the controller is also further configured to display a notification item indicating that the notification information has been set on the execution screen of the calendar application along with generated notification time.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in case at least one of the service information is not obtained from the electronic receipt, the controller is configured to receive the service information not obtained from the electronic receipt through the wireless communication unit on the basis of the seller information.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to generate the notification information which includes notification time at which to output the notification information according to a predetermined condition on the basis of the payment information and the service information; and notification contents.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, if receiving a first input with respect to the electronic receipt, the controller is configured to display a menu for storing the electronic receipt in conjunction with the calendar application.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in case an execution screen of the calendar application is displayed on the touch screen, the controller is configured to display a payment item indicating that the payment has been processed on the execution screen of the calendar application along with payment time.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein, in case a payment item displayed on the execution screen of the calendar application is selected, the controller is configured to display specific information of a receipt on the touch screen, where the payment information and the service information are arranged in terms of predetermined items.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to edit the receipt specific information or displays a user interface within the receipt specific information, through which a user can input a condition for generating the notification information.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein, in case a notification item displayed on the execution screen of the calendar application is selected, the controller is configured to display the generated notification information on the touch screen.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, if receiving a second input with respect to the electronic receipt, the controller is configured to search the memory for an electronic receipt having the same seller information as the electronic receipt and to display the searched electronic receipt on the touch screen.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, if receiving a third input with respect to the electronic receipt, the controller is configured to display a user interface for writing a memo in the electronic receipt.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in case the electronic receipt includes a plurality of products, the controller is configured to store receipt specific information with respect to a selected product, where the payment information and the service information are arranged in terms of predetermined items and to generate the notification information with respect to the selected product.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in case the payment is canceled, the controller is configured to receive an electronic receipt due to the cancellation through the wireless communication unit and to reflect information according to the cancellation in the calendar application.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, at the time of the payment, the controller is configured to receive a warranty for the corresponding product through the wireless communication unit and to store the received warranty in conjunction with the electronic receipt.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a camera, wherein the electronic receipt is the image of the receipt obtained through the camera; and
the controller is configured to obtain the payment information and the service information from the image of the receipt.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to receive vehicle information from a vehicle control system through the wireless communication unit and to generate the notification information on the basis of the payment information, the service information, and the vehicle information.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 15 , wherein the vehicle information includes driving record, maintenance record, fueling record, and wash record of the vehicle.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 15 , wherein, in case the controller receives a payment request from the vehicle control system, the controller is configured to perform a user authentication process and to transmit payment approval information through the wireless communication unit.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, if payment via a mobile credit card is processed at a member shop, the controller is configured to receive the electronic receipt, generate a mobile membership card for the member ship on the basis of the electronic receipt, store the generated mobile membership card in conjunction with the mobile credit card and the received electronic receipt, and display the generated mobile membership card on the touch screen.

19. The mobile terminal of claim 18 , wherein the controller is configured to display the mobile credit card and the mobile membership card on the execution screen of a card management application which manages mobile cards stored in the mobile terminal along with other mobile cards; and if a predetermined input with respect to the mobile membership card is received from the execution screen of the card management application, to perform an operation corresponding thereto.
