Multi-device electronic signature framework
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause an electronic signature process to be carried out, the process comprising:
- using a first computing device to display at least a portion of an electronic document;
in response to receiving a mobile signature command at the first computing device, generating a unique code that includes a device identifier that identifies the first computing device;
providing the unique code to a second computing device;
in response to receiving the unique code at the second computing device, activating a signature acquisition user interface at the second computing device;
acquiring an electronic representation of a handwritten signature via the signature acquisition user interface;
linking the acquired electronic representation of the handwritten signature to the unique code;
sending the acquired electronic representation of the handwritten signature and the linked unique code from the second computing device to an electronic signature server;
sending a signature request from the first computing device to the electronic signature server, wherein the signature request is associated with the unique code;
receiving, from the electronic signature server, by the first computing device, the acquired electronic representation of the handwritten signature; and
using the first computing device to apply the acquired electronic representation of the handwritten signature to the electronic document.

Abstract
A user manipulates a document using a desktop computer with a large screen. Upon deciding to sign the document, the user invokes a “Sign with Mobile” workflow that causes a two-dimensional barcode to be displayed. Using a signature acquisition application executing on his or her smartphone, the user scans the displayed barcode and creates an electronic signature by snapping a photograph of a conventional pen-and-paper signature or by detecting a handwritten signature drawn on a touch sensitive surface. The signature acquisition application sends the resulting electronic signature to the desktop computer, for example via an electronic signature server. The user is then able to apply the electronic signature to the document as desired.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, at a signature acquisition device, a unique code that identifies a signature application device; in response to receiving the unique code, activating a signature acquisition user interface on the signature acquisition device; acquiring an electronic representation of a handwritten signature via the signature acquisition user interface; causing the signature acquisition user interface to display the electronic representation of the handwritten signature; receiving a user approval of the electronic representation of the handwritten signature; and in response to receiving the user approval, sending a transmission to an electronic signature server, the transmission including the acquired electronic representation of the handwritten signature and a device identifier that identifies the signature application device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
