G06F 21/64

Abstract:

Systems and methods provide for efficiently obtaining biometric signatures for electronically signing digital documents. A digital document having a signature field is provided for display on a general computing device. An instruction to obtain a biometric signature from a mobile computing device is received on the general computing device. A remote signing request is sent to a remote server device. The request can include, among other things, an electronic contact address associated with the mobile computing device. Responsive to receiving the request, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is generated, referencing a dynamic application for obtaining the biometric signature on the mobile computing device. The remote server device obtains the biometric signature via the dynamic application or an incoming electronic message from the mobile computing device via the electronic contact address. The biometric signature is communicated to the client device for association with the signature field of the digital document.

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for making an electronic document easier to use based on prior interactions with the same or a similar document by other users. An electronic document is presented to one or more users in an interactive environment. Interactions between the users and the document can be recorded as usage data. The usage data may represent one or more operations performed on the electronic document by the users. Based on the usage data, an enhanced user interaction feature associated with the document is configured. The electronic document and the enhanced user interaction feature are then presented to another user in another interactive environment. The enhanced user interaction feature makes using the document easier than it would be if the feature was not present, particularly for users who are unfamiliar with the document.
