  • Patent number: 10614266
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying and populating static form fields using prior responses to similar form fields. An example method includes receiving an electronic form having, encoded in the form, static text and a static form field for containing information specific to a given user of the electronic form. Using an image recognition algorithm, a fillable form field candidate is identified based on a graphical representation of the static form field. An attribute of the fillable form field candidate can be identified based on the static text. A suggested response for populating the fillable form field candidate is selected from prior responses to other form fields having at least one attribute in common with the identified attribute of the fillable form field candidate. The prior responses are inputs obtained from or associated with the given user. The suggested response is presented to the user for subsequent acceptance or rejection.

  • Patent number: 10091003
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for efficiently obtaining biometric signatures for electronically signing digital documents. A digital document having a signature field is provided for display on a general computing device. An instruction to obtain a biometric signature from a mobile computing device is received on the general computing device. A remote signing request is sent to a remote server device. The request can include, among other things, an electronic contact address associated with the mobile computing device. Responsive to receiving the request, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is generated, referencing a dynamic application for obtaining the biometric signature on the mobile computing device. The remote server device obtains the biometric signature via the dynamic application or an incoming electronic message from the mobile computing device via the electronic contact address.

  • Patent number: 10013411
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a document management application determines that a field of a document lacks a tag describing the field. The document management application also determines that data entered into the field of the document corresponds to a value of a field description included in a user profile. The document management application tags or otherwise associates the field with the field description based on the entered data corresponding to the value of the field description.

  • Patent number: 9342513
    Abstract: One disclosed method includes the steps of initiating a download of a first document by a computer system, the first document having a plurality of parts according to a first predefined format; initiating a download of a second document by the computer system, the second document having a plurality of parts according to a second predefined format; determining a download priority of at least one of the plurality of parts of the first document by the computer system based at least in part on the predefined format of the first document; downloading the at least one of the plurality of parts of the first document according to the download priority; determining whether to suspend the download of the second document based on a state of a resource available to the computer system and the download priority; and suspending the download of the second document.

  • Patent number: 8086946
    Abstract: A system detects a requirement to obtain a first document by the computer system, the first document having a predefined format. The system identifies a sequence of portions of the first document to obtain based on analysis of the predefined format of the first document, and analysis of current operational parameters of the computer system. The system obtains a first portion of the document from the identified sequence, and then obtains successive portions of the first document in accordance with the identified sequence.
