Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described for using an automation tool to facilitate the preparation of a summary document, such as an expense report. In a first data path, a receipt-processing component generates receipt items based on images of physical receipts that a user captures using a camera. In a second data path, one or more transaction-processing systems forward transaction items to the automation tool upon their capture; the transaction items correspond to electronic records of transactions made by the user. The technique then generates a set of receipt-transaction (R-T) pairings by matching pairs of receipt items and transaction items that describe the same respective transactions. The technique then uses context information to supplement the R-T pairings, and generates a summary document that summarizes transactions made by the user based on the supplemented R-T pairings. In one case, the context information corresponds to calendar information specified in a user's electronic calendar.

Abstract: A multi-use card is presented. The multi-use card can be selectively configured to operate and/or function as any one of a plurality of associated cards (including credit cards, identity cards, access cards, membership cards, loyalty cards, and the like). The multi-use card can also be configured to display one or more messages from third parties on a display area on one or more surfaces of the card. The multi-use card includes communication abilities to communicate with one or more external computing devices by way of near field communications. The multi-use card is configured with associated cards and messages via the near field communications. Additionally, the multi-use card includes a power source that is charged by way of near field communications with the card.
