  • Patent number: 8615554
    Abstract: An electronic communication such as electronic mail (email) may be sent to a recipient through a network and may be monitored for delivery success.

  • Patent number: 8510116
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for capturing consumer voice signatures. The methods and systems synchronize voice signatures with display of the terms and conditions of a transaction to the consumer in real time during a phone conversation. In one implementation, mobile devices with text display capability may be used to display the terms/conditions of the transaction while the consumer is talking to a customer service representative or an interactive voice response system. The terms/conditions may be displayed as a scrollable document on the mobile device to which the consumer may then agree during the phone conversation. The consumer may then “voice sign” by reading the displayed terms/conditions, or some portion thereof, during the phone conversation to manifest his/her knowing consent. Such an arrangement helps promotes the use of voice signatures by consumers in a manner that complies with the requirements of the federal E-Sign Act.

  • Patent number: 8380802
    Abstract: An electronic communication such as an email may have multiple file wrappers of metadata added to it by a sender. Each time the email passes to a mail server during its transmission from the sender to a recipient, one of the file wrappers may be stripped off by the mail server and sent to the sender. The information sent back to the sender with the file wrapper may comprise the server name and Internet protocol (IP) address of the computing device the mail server received the email from and the name of the mail server itself, along with a timestamp. In this manner, the sender may be apprised of the location of the email at all times during its transmission, and may be apprised of the route it took during its transmission.
