Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- retrieving one or more forms having a location constraint on a portable computing device;
determining a location of the portable computing device;
determining whether the location of the portable computing device is within a region where form access is granted to a first user;
responsive to determining that the location of the portable computing device is within the region where form access is granted to the first user, granting access to the one or more forms and adding a location stamp to the one or more forms, the location stamp confirming that the location constraint associated with the one or more forms is satisfied by the location of the portable computing device; and
receiving handwriting strokes from the first user in at least one field on the one or more forms.

Abstract
A system and method for limiting access to one or more forms based on a location constraint is described. A form access module retrieves one or more forms on a portable computing device, determines a location of the portable computing device, determines whether the location of the portable computing device is within a region where form access is granted, granting access to the one or more forms responsive to the location of the portable computing device being within the region, receiving strokes from a first user in at least one field on the one or more forms and storing the one or more forms and the strokes received on the one or more forms.

12. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a form access engine stored on the memory and executable by the processor, the form access engine coupled to the location detection module and configured to retrieve one or more forms on a portable computing device, to determine whether a location of the portable computing device is within a region where form access is granted to a first user, and responsive to determining that the location of the portable computing device is within the region where form access is granted to the first user, to grant access to the one or more forms and to add a location stamp to the one or more forms, the location stamp confirming that the location constraint associated with the one or more forms is satisfied by the location of the portable computing device; a location detection module stored on a memory and executable by the processor, the location detection module configured to determine the location of the portable computing device; and a stroke module stored on the memory and executable by the processor, the stroke module coupled to the form access engine and configured to receive handwriting strokes from the first user in at least one field on the one or more forms. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
-
retrieve one or more forms having a location constraint on a portable computing device;
determine a location of the portable computing device;
determine whether the location of the portable computing device is within a region where form access is granted to a user;responsive to determining that the location of the portable computing device is within the region where form access is granted to the user, grant access to the one or more forms and add a location stamp to the one or more forms, the location stamp confirming that the location constraint associated with the one or more forms is satisfied by the location of the portable computing device; and receive handwriting strokes from the user in at least one field on the one or more forms.
