Abstract

A method for updating an electronic form includes displaying, in a mobile device, a data request corresponding to a data field of the electronic form; receiving an update from a user via an interface of the mobile device, the update being data corresponding to the data field; and transmitting the received update to a server.

Claims

1. A method for updating an electronic form, comprising:

displaying, in a mobile device, a data request corresponding to a data field of the electronic form;

receiving an update from a user via an interface of the mobile device, the update being data corresponding to the data field; and

transmitting the received update to a server.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving an electronic signature from the user prior to transmitting the received update.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the transmitting occurs after the mobile device receives a positive confirmation that the electronic signature matches a signature of the user stored remotely from the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying a notice to the user that an update of information is required.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the displaying the notice includes displaying an active link to the electronic form.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating an electronic form containing the received update.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the transmitting the received update includes transmitting an electronic form containing the received update.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising verifying the user as an authorized submitter of the update.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the data request includes pre-populated data.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising requesting from the user of the mobile application data matching at least one static field of the electronic copy.

3. The method of claim 3, further comprising receiving confirmation from the server that the received electronic signature matches a signature of the user stored in the server.

12. A method for electronically managing updates, comprising:

generating an electronic form from a plurality of database fields;

sending the electronic form to a mobile device for updating of the database fields;

receiving, from the mobile device, updated data corresponding to the database fields via the electronic form; and

replacing the plurality of database fields with the received updated database fields.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the generating the electronic form is based on a plurality of commands associated with the document.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein database fields on the electronic form correspond to the plurality of database fields.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising prompting the mobile device to verify, based on a static field, a user of the mobile device is authorized to update the database fields via the form.

16. The method of claim 12, further comprising requesting from a user of the mobile device, data matching a static database field in the plurality of database fields.

17. The method of claim 12, further comprising confirming that a user, based on the received updated data, is authorized to update the database fields prior to replacing plurality of database fields.

18. The method of claim 13, further comprising confirming, based on data in the database fields and the updated database fields, that a user is eligible for one or more receivables.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising sending a notice of eligibility to the mobile device upon a positive confirmation.
