Abstract

Provided are methods, systems and computer program products for providing remote document execution. Such methods, systems and computer program products may include storing an electronic document as a secure electronic file, identifying a signature space in the electronic document, the signature space, after being executed, includes a signature of a signing party of the electronic document, receiving the signature of the signing party into the electronic document stored as the secure electronic file and responsive to receiving the signature of the signing party, converting the electronic document into a read only electronic document.

Claims

1. A computer system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer readable program code embodied therein that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the operations comprising;

storing an electronic document as a secure electronic file;

identifying a signature space in the electronic document, the signature space, after being executed, includes a signature of a signing party of the electronic document;

receiving, via a user interface, the signature of the signing party into the electronic document stored as the secure electronic file;

responsive to receiving the signature of the signing party, converting the electronic document into a read only electronic document; and

identifying a physical signing facility that provides products that are unrelated to a subject matter of the electronic document,

wherein at least one of storing the electronic document as the secure electronic file, identifying the signature space in the electronic document, receiving the signature of the signing party into the electronic document stored as the secure electronic file, converting the electronic document into the read only electronic document, and identifying the physical signing facility that provides products that are unrelated to a subject matter of the electronic document is performed using a graphical user interface.

2. The computer system according to claim 1, wherein identifying the physical facility comprises:

providing a list of a plurality of physical signing facilities to the signing party; and

receiving a selection corresponding to the physical signing facility from the signing party.

3. The computer system according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, from the signing party, an order for a selected product from the provided products; and

sending the order to the physical signing facility.

4. The computer system according to claim 3, wherein sending the order to the physical signing facility comprises sending an identification for the selected product and a graphical representation of the signing party.

5. The computer system according to claim 3, further comprising providing payment to the physical signing facility for the selected product.

6. The computer system according to claim 3, providing, for the physical signing facility, marketing materials that are configured to accompany the selected product or that are configured to be displayed on a premises of the physical signing facility.

7. The computer system according to claim 3, before receiving, from the signing party, the order for the product, the method further comprising sending, to the signing party, a menu of the provided products.

8. The computer system according to claim 7, wherein the menu comprises a generic menu that corresponds to a type of product provided by the physical signing facility.

9. The computer system according to claim 3, further comprising sending a confirmation message a given time before a scheduled time for a planned signing session that includes identification of the selected product and directions to the physical signing facility.

10. The computer system according to claim 1, further comprising generating a searchable data file of physical signing facilities and corresponding locations, respectively.

11. The computer system according to claim 1, wherein the signing party is in the presence of a signature certifying agent.

12. The computer system according to claim 1, wherein the signing patty is remotely located from a signature certifying agent, the method further comprising:

capturing a visual image of the signing via an image capture device on a device that is proximate the signing party by automatically tuning the image capture device to capture the actual signing in a signing video;

communicating the signing video to the signature certifying agent; and

receiving a signature certification from the signature certifying agent.

13. The computer system according to claim 12, wherein receiving the signature certification comprises receiving an image of a certified document that is executed by the signature certifying agent.

18. The computer program product according to claim 3, before receiving, from the signing party, the order for the selected service, the computer readable code to further configured to send, to the signing party, a menu of the provided services,

wherein the menu comprises a generic menu that corresponds to a type of service provided by the physical signing facility.

14. A computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having computer readable code embodied in the medium, the computer code comprising;

computer readable code to perform operations comprising;

storing an electronic document as a secure electronic file;

identifying a signature space in the electronic document, the signature space, after being executed, includes a signature of a signing party of the electronic document;

receiving, via a user interface, the signature of the signing party into the electronic document stored as the secure electronic file;

responsive to receiving the signature of the signing party, converting the electronic document into a read only electronic document;

identifying a physical signing facility that provides services that are unrelated to a subject matter of the electronic document;

receiving, from the signing party, an order for a selected service from the provided services; and

sending the order to the physical signing facility,

wherein at least one of storing the electronic document as the secure electronic file, identifying the signature space in the electronic document, receiving the signature of the signing party into the electronic document stored as the secure electronic file, converting the electronic document into the read only electronic document, and identifying the physical signing facility that provides services that are unrelated to a subject matter of the electronic document is performed using a graphical user interface.

15. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein identifying the physical facility comprises:

providing a list of a plurality of physical signing facilities to the signing party; and

receiving a selection corresponding to the physical signing facility from the signing party.

16. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein sending the order to the physical signing facility comprises sending an identification for the selected service and a graphical representation of the signing party.

17. The computer program product according to claim 16, further comprising computer readable code to provide payment for the selected service.

19. The computer program product according to claim 14, further comprising computer readable code to send a confirmation message a given time before a scheduled time for a planned signing session that includes identification of the selected service and directions to the physical signing facility.

20. The computer program product according to claim 14, further comprising computer readable code to generate a searchable data file of physical signing facilities and corresponding locations, respectively.
