  • Publication number: 20240146557
    Abstract: An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference associated with a plurality of participants is accessed. The sequence of actions is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a sharing participant of the conference is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant for the given action is determined and data obtained from sensors of a client device of the acting participant is monitored. It is determined that the data indicates that the acting participant has performed the given action and an auditable data structure reflective of the data is generated. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

  • Publication number: 20240146879
    Abstract: An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference including plural participants is accessed. The sequence is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a conference sharing participant is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant is determined for the given action and edit permissions conferring an ability to edit the monitored content are granted to the acting participant. Acting participant's input into the content shared by the sharing participant is monitored for data entry corresponding to the given action. Responsive to detecting the data entry during the monitoring, the edit permissions from the acting participant are removed. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

  • Publication number: 20240146559
    Abstract: A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing. Creation of a conference event is detected. The conference event associated with an electronic signature envelope and a plurality of participants. A plurality of actions to be taken with respect to the electronic signature envelope during a conference corresponding to the conference event are determined. For each of one or more actions of the plurality of actions, a corresponding participant is determined based on metadata of the plurality of participants. An agenda comprising a sequence of the plurality of actions is generated. Each action of the sequence has its assigned corresponding participant. Control permissions during the conference corresponding to the conference event are dynamically driver based on the agenda.

  • Patent number: 11888915
    Abstract: A document management system integrates with a video conference system to ensure that proper electronic witness procedure is performed for document validation. The document management system accesses a video conference between a user and an electronic witness, and then instructs the user to electronically sign the document while the electronic witness observes. The document management system receives confirmation that the electronic witness observed the video of the user electronically signing the document. The document management system combines and stores portions of the video conference that correspond to the electronic witness's validation of the document.

  • Publication number: 20230245254
    Abstract: A document management system integrates with a video conference system to generate agreement documents from conference transcripts between two or more people. The document management system trains and applies a machine learned model that is configured to identify agreement terms from a video conference transcript. The two or more people confirm or propose changes to the agreement terms presented by the document management system. The document management system presents a finalized agreement document, with users' identities, electronic signatures, and confirmed agreement terms.

  • Publication number: 20230246859
    Abstract: A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing to control access to precipitant information. Precipitant information includes access codes, personal identification numbers, sensitive information, or any other secured information for which execution of an online document is a prerequisite for access to the secured information. The centralized document system detects precipitant information that is presented during a conference and controls access to the detected precipitant information (e.g., by generating permission rules that specify a type of online document to be executed to gain access). The centralized document system may determine whether a user has executed one or more online documents and thus, has authorization to access the detected precipitant information. If the user has not executed the online documents, the centralized document system can control access to the precipitant information by modifying the conference (e.g., using censors or breakout rooms).
