  • Patent number: 11132105
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for receiving an electronic signature in an electronic document utilizing an interface area. In particular, in response to a user interaction, one or more embodiments of an electronic signature system can provide a signature overlay for capturing a signature to provide within an electronic document. For instance, an electronic signature system can detect user input of an original signature on the signature overlay and modify the original signature entered on the signature overlay so that the modified signature fits within a bounded area of an electronic document.

  • Patent number: 10083163
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for completing fields in an electronic document utilizing drawing input. In particular, upon receiving drawing input in an electronic document with a plurality of fields, one or more embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods automatically identify an appropriate field corresponding to the drawing input. For instance, the disclosed systems and methods can assign drawing input to an appropriate field based on a number of drawing units located within the boundary of each field in the plurality of fields. Moreover, upon identifying the appropriate field corresponding to the drawing input, the disclosed systems and methods can automatically modify the drawing input to fit within a boundary of the identified field.
