Abstract
Apparatus for processing of transaction information, wherein transaction information relating to transactions with a payment card is transformed into a plurality of geographic sums (614, 616, 618) such that for each transaction a geographic location where the transaction took place is recognized in relation to an electronic geographic map, and monetary values of transactions performed in the same geographic location within a predetermined margin are added up to form geographic sums (614, 616, 618).
Claims7
An apparatus comprising:
- an input interface;
- an output interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories including computer program code, the one or more memories and the computer program code configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus at least to:
- obtain, with the input interface, transaction information relating to transactions with a payment card;
- transform the transaction information relating to the transactions into a plurality of geographic sums, by relating a respective geographic location where each of the transactions took place to an electronic geographic map, and monetary values of transactions performed in the same geographic location within a predetermined margin are added up to form geographic sums;
- output, with the output interface, the plurality of the geographic sums on the electronic geographic map;
- output, with the output interface, the plurality of the geographic sums as numerals and/or geometric shapes on the electronic geographic map being displayed as a static, dynamic and/or interactive two- or three-dimensional map representing geographic locations employing continents, countries, states, cities, towns, villages, municipalities, postal codes, street addresses, specific street names, specific street names combined with one or more house numbers or a range of house numbers, specific parts of buildings, specific parts of shopping malls, specific parts of skyscrapers, specific wings of buildings, specific floors of buildings, and/or a set of specific locations within building complexes;
- sum each geographic sum having a transaction that took place within a predetermined short date range into a short term sum;
- sum each geographic sum having a transaction that took place within a predetermined long date range into a long term sum, wherein the long date range is longer than the short date range;
- and
- output and display, with the output interface to a display being coupled to the output interface, the plurality of the geographic sums on the electronic geographic map with the short term sum and the long term sum superimposed on top of each other as geometric objects, the monetary values of the short term sum and the long term sum in relation to each other being represented by geometric objects, whose size represents the magnitude of the respective monetary value.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer program code which, when executed on an apparatus causes the apparatus at least to:
- obtain transaction information relating to transactions with a payment card;
- transform the transaction information relating to the transactions into a plurality of geographic sums by relating a respective geographic location where each of the transactions took place to an electronic geographic map, and monetary values of transactions performed in the same geographic location within a predetermined margin are added up to form geographic sums;
- output the plurality of the geographic sums on the electronic geographic map;
- output the plurality of the geographic sums as numerals and/or geometric shapes on the electronic geographic map being displayed as a static, dynamic and/or interactive two- or three-dimensional map representing geographic locations employing continents, countries, states, cities, towns, villages, municipalities, postal codes, street addresses, specific street names, specific street names combined with one or more house numbers or a range of house numbers, specific parts of buildings, specific parts of shopping malls, specific parts of skyscrapers, specific wings of buildings, specific floors of buildings, and/or a set of specific locations within building complexes;
- sum each geographic sum having a transaction that took place within a predetermined short date range into a short term sum;
- sum each geographic sum having a transaction that took place within a predetermined long date range into a long term sum, wherein the long date range is longer than the short date range;
- and
- output and display the plurality of the geographic sums on the electronic geographic map with the short term sum and the long term sum superimposed on top of each other as geometric objects, the monetary values of the short term sum and the long term sum in relation to each other being represented by geometric objects, whose size represents the magnitude of the respective monetary value.
