  • Electronic signature capture via secure interface
    Patent number: 11526271
    Abstract: A system and method for capturing an electronic signature from a mouse, signature pad, or other input device is disclosed. The system comprises: a signer interface and a separate user interface. The signer interface is configured to present text to a signer via the input device and receive position data representing the points of an electronic signature. The user interface is configured to: select a document for signature based on input from a user, define at least one signature insertion area in the document, define at least one signature capture window, enable the input of position data from the signer interface when the at least one signature capture window is defined, draw at least one signature in the at least one signature capture window; map the at least one signature from the at least one signature capture window to the at least one signature insertion area in the document, and disable the input from the signer interface when the at least one signature is integrated in the document.
