A signature tag can be placed into the placeholder electronic document at a selected signature location. The signature tag is associated with the signing individual and defines the signature location for the signing individual to sign. The placeholder electronic document can be secured to form a secure electronic document having content configured to be uneditable. A signature can be captured with a signature capture device configured to enable the signing individual to write the signature to be embedded into the secure electronic document at the location indicated by the signature tag to mimic a real world experience of signing paper documents.

  • Patent number: 6070872
    Abstract: A method for playing a game of chance including providing a playing surface with various betting areas defined thereon. The game proceeds through three distinct phases, where different game activities take place and during which individual bets can be made and are paid at the end of each phase. The three game phases each focus on a different gaming area of the playing surface. The first game phase involves wagering on a roll of a die to determine which two of the three face-down cards will be turned face up. The second phase of the game includes a wide range of high, moderate and low risk wagers with corresponding payouts. Wagers can be made as to expected sum of the two cards, or whether the sum is odd, even, or above or below certain values. The third phase of the game is focused back on the value of the last unturned card.
