Patent number: 11811766Abstract: Systems, and methods are provided to provide cloud-based coordination of customer premise service appliances. A system can include a cloud-based service platform, which includes a coordination server and a cloud-based service appliance, and an on-premise service appliance. The coordination server is configured to establish a service session, select a service appliance, and control a sequence of operations on the selected service appliance. Establishing the service session can include establishing a service session with a first client in response to a service request received from the first client, the first client associated with an account including a service policy. Selecting the service appliance can include selecting the cloud-based service appliance or the on-premise service appliance, based on the service policy, to handle the service request.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Donald Grant Peterson, Eric Fleischman

Patent number: 11477334Abstract: Techniques for signer-initiated electronic document signing via an electronic signature service using a mobile or other client device are described. Example embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to facilitate the creation, storage, and management of documents and corresponding electronic signatures. In some embodiments, when a signer user receives a hard copy (e.g., paper) signature document, the signer may capture an image of the signature document with a camera of a mobile device. The signer can then import the captured image into the ESS for signature, storage, and/or transmission to other parties.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: DOCUSIGN, INC.Inventors: Thomas H. Gonser, Donald Grant Peterson

Patent number: 10778683Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided to provide cloud-based coordination of customer premise service appliances. A system can include a computing device comprising a communication module, a policy module, an appliance selection module, and a coordination module. The communication module receives a document request from a first client over a network connection, establishes a session with the first client in response to the document request, and receives metadata representing collected signatures at after completion of the electronic signature operation portion of the document request. The policy module manages a policy associate with a first account corresponding to the document request. The appliance selection module selects one of a plurality of document appliances.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Donald Grant Peterson, Eric Fleischman
