Systems and methods for electronic signature
Systems and methods facilitating electronic signatures (E-Signatures) are provided. Multiple E-Signatures can be provided to electronic documents through a simple command, such as a selection of a single graphical element. A user's signatures, initials, or other identifier can be added to the electronic document in the appropriate fields upon receipt of the appropriate command or command set from the user.
1. A computer-readable hardware device storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system having at least one processor and at least one memory, cause the computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:
hosting an electronic document, wherein the electronic document comprises one or more signature fields for receiving input from a user;
parsing the electronic document to determine a plurality of visual indicia to be populated in the electronic document;
populating the electronic document with the plurality of visual indicia, wherein at least one of the visual indicia identifies the user and wherein each of the visual indicia corresponds to one of the signature fields;
when a selectable signature command element is selected by the user,
removing the plurality of visual indicia, and
populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user.
2. The computer-readable hardware device of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
causing the electronic document to be presented to the user;
receiving a selection of the selectable signature command element;
causing to be displayed a first button and a signature window;
receiving input from the user modifying at least one characteristic of the electronic signature of the user; and
storing the modified electronic signature of the user.
3. The computer-readable hardware device of claim 2 , wherein populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user comprises populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with the stored modified electronic signature of the user.
4. The computer-readable hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic document further comprises a visual indicium presented proximate to each of one or more of the signature fields.
5. The computer-readable hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic signature used to populate the one or more signature fields of the electronic document includes time/date stamp indicia and a unique identification code.
6. The computer-readable hardware device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic document comprises an image layer and a data layer comprising the one or more signature fields.
7. A method, performed by a computing system having a memory and a processor, the method comprising:
hosting an electronic document, wherein the electronic document comprises one or more signature fields for receiving input from a user;
parsing the electronic document to determine a plurality of visual indicia to be populated in the electronic document;
populating the electronic document with the plurality of visual indicia, wherein at least one of the visual indicia identifies the user and wherein each of the visual indicia corresponds to one of the signature fields;
when a selectable signature command element is selected by the user,
removing the plurality of visual indicia, and
populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
causing the electronic document to be presented to the user;
receiving a selection of the selectable signature command element;
causing to be displayed a first button and a signature window;
receiving input from the user modifying at least one characteristic of the electronic signature of the user; and
storing the modified electronic signature of the user.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user comprises populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with the stored modified electronic signature of the user.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the electronic document further comprises a visual indicium presented proximate to each of one or more of the signature fields.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the electronic signature used to populate the one or more signature fields of the electronic document includes time/date stamp indicia and a unique identification code.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the electronic document comprises an image layer and a data layer comprising the one or more signature fields.
13. A system comprising:
at least one hardware processor;
at least one non-transitory memory, coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one hardware processor, perform a process, the process comprising:
hosting an electronic document, wherein the electronic document comprises one or more signature fields for receiving input from a user;
parsing the electronic document to determine a plurality of visual indicia to be populated in the electronic document;
populating the electronic document with the plurality of visual indicia, wherein at least one of the visual indicia identifies the user and wherein each of the visual indicia corresponds to one of the signature fields;
when a selectable signature command element is selected by the user,
removing the plurality of visual indicia, and
populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the process further comprises:
causing the electronic document to be presented to the user;
receiving a selection of the selectable signature command element;
causing to be displayed a first button and a signature window;
receiving input from the user modifying at least one characteristic of the electronic signature of the user; and
storing the modified electronic signature of the user.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user comprises populating each of the one or more signature fields of the electronic document with the stored modified electronic signature of the user.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the electronic document further comprises a visual indicium presented proximate to each of one or more of the signature fields.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the electronic signature used to populate the one or more signature fields of the electronic document includes time/date stamp indicia and a unique identification code.
18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the electronic document comprises an image layer and a data layer comprising the one or more signature fields.
