Abstract

An information processing apparatus is provided with a signature window data generating unit that, by combining template window data stored in a template data storage unit with confirmation note item data and confirmation note content data acquired by a confirmation note data acquiring unit, generates signature window data indicating a signature window on which the confirmation note item data and the confirmation note content data are displayed in at least a portion of an input area, and a signature window display unit that causes a display apparatus to display the signature window indicated by the signature window data generated by the signature window data generating unit.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an image data storage unit that stores associated image data indicating an image imaged of a creator of the confirmation note,

wherein the data acquiring unit acquires the associated image data stored in the image data storage unit.

3. An information processing apparatus connected to a display apparatus and an input apparatus, and to which a handwritten signature on a confirmation note displayed by the display apparatus is input via the input apparatus, comprising:

a confirmation note data storage unit that stores confirmation note data indicating the confirmation note;

a confirmation note window display unit that causes the display apparatus to display a confirmation note window on which the confirmation note is displayed, based on the confirmation note data stored in the confirmation note data storage unit;

a template data storage unit storing template window data indicating a template window that includes an input area to which the handwritten signature is input via the input apparatus;

a data acquiring unit that acquires element data of at least a portion of elements forming the confirmation note, or associated image data indicating an image associated with the confirmation note or a user that makes the handwritten signature;

a signature window data generating unit that, by inserting the element data or the associated image data acquired by the data acquiring unit into the template window data, generates signature window data indicating a signature window on which the element data or the associated image data will be displayed in a written portion of the signature or surrounding a written portion of the signature in a case of the handwritten signature having been input via the input apparatus; and

a signature window display unit that causes the display apparatus to display the signature window indicated by the signature window data generated by the signature window data generating unit.

7. The apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the element data is input via the input apparatus, and is confirmation note content data indicating a content of the confirmation note.

8. The apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the element data is inserted into the confirmation note data, and is confirmation note identification data uniquely associated with the confirmation note.

9. The apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising an image data storage unit that stores associated image data indicating an image imaged of a creator of the confirmation note,

wherein the data acquiring unit acquires the associated image data stored in the image data storage unit.

10. An information processing method executed by a computer connected to a display apparatus and an input apparatus and to which a handwritten signature on a confirmation note displayed by the display apparatus is input via the input apparatus, comprising;

a confirmation note window display step in which a confirmation note window display unit provided in the computer causes the display apparatus to display a confirmation note window on which the confirmation note is displayed, based on confirmation note data stored in a confirmation note data storage unit that stores confirmation note data indicating the confirmation note;

a data acquiring step in which a data acquiring unit provided in the computer acquires element data of at least a portion of elements forming the confirmation note, or associated image data indicating an image associated with the confirmation note or a user that makes the handwritten signature;
