  • Patent number: 11790155
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium, and computer-implemented method for signing a document involving generating copies of the document in response to receiving actions to perform on the document. In particular, a web service can transmit a document for signing to a client device such that the document is viewable through graphical user interfaces while the underlying content of the document remains non-editable by the client devices through the web service. Responsive to receiving actions, the web service can generate one or more copies of the document that may include modifications that correspond to the received actions.

  • Patent number: 9953019
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium, and computer-implemented method for improved document signing involving generating secure document copies of a document to be signed in response to receiving actions to perform on the document. In particular, a web service can transmit a document for signing to a plurality of client devices such that the document is viewable through a graphical user interface while the underlying content of the document remains non-editable. Responsive to receiving actions from different client devices, secure document copies of the document can be generated that include additional content form the different client devices.

  • Patent number: 9818138
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a transaction room in a digital transaction service to provide participants controlled access and editing of a document. In response to a trigger, a first copy of the document is created. The first copy of the document may be provided to a participant for review such that the first copy is non-editable by the participants, while the document is editable in the transaction room. The document may be prepared for electronic signature such that, when the document has changed after the first copy was provided for review, a second copy of the document is created and tagged for signature; and when the document has not changed after the first copy was provided for review, the first copy may be tagged for signature. Tagging a document copy for signature may include pre-tagging the document for signature based on signing roles of the participants.
