ProblemMany people can forget to carry their Miami
ID with themPeople living off campus are more likely to
forget their Miami IDWithout a Miami ID you cannot purchase
food, get into your dorm room or even get into a bar uptown
SolutionGet rid of the Miami IDStudents always carry their phone with
themCreate an iPhone app that allows students
to purchase food in dining halls, enter dorm halls, and get into uptown bars.
How it works• Click on the iPhone App titled “MU” on your
phone• Your Miami University ID will appear with a
bar code underneath • When scanned the bar code will allow a
person to purchase food, gain access to their dorm, or present anyone who needs it with your Miami ID
Purchase Food from Dining Hall• Tell the dining hall attendant ringing up your
food you wish to pay by phone• The attendant will push the “purchase by
phone” button on the cash register• Then they will use the bar code scanner (all
dining halls have one) to scan the bar code on a students phone accepting their purchase
• When the bar code is scanned the amount of the food purchased will be subtracted from your meal plan account balance

Gain access to dormsThere will be dorm scanners to allow a
person access to the dormsThe person simply holds their phone under
the scanner and the door will unlock to gain entrance
Use ID uptownMany bars uptown such as Brickstreet
require people under 21 to show their Miami ID in order to get in (I know this because I used to work the door at Brick)
A person over 21 must present 2 forms of ID: a drivers license and a Miami ID
The MU app will allow a person to show their Miami ID at the door so unders do not have to carry their ID and overs only have to carry their license.
PAY BY PHONE
