Abstract

A method for tailoring a document for viewing on a mobile device includes obtaining residence information for an individual who is required to sign the document. The document is tailored to the residence of the individual. This includes hiding or condensing one or more portions of the document that pertain to laws in other jurisdictions. The document is permitted to be accessible by the mobile device.

Claims (48)

1. A method for tailoring a document for viewing on a user interface of a mobile device, the method comprising:

omitting content of the document pertaining to a non-viewing co-borrower;

condensing a remainder of the document surrounding the content;

displaying the document to a viewing co-borrower on the user interface of the mobile device, based at least in part on a size of the user interface of the mobile device;

displaying an index including links to a plurality of sections of the document;

providing a signature block for the viewing co-borrower, including:

receiving a selection of the signature block from the viewing co-borrower;

generating a signature overlay on the document; and

receiving a confirmation of a signature by the viewing co-borrower on the signature overlay, whereupon advancement to another section in the document via the index is permitted only after receipt of the confirmation of the signature by the viewing co-borrower; and

displaying the document including the content upon viewing by the non-viewing co-borrower.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining residence information for the viewing co-borrower who is required to sign the document; and

tailoring the document to the residence information for the viewing co-borrower, comprising hiding or condensing one or more portions of the document that pertain to laws in other jurisdictions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content includes another signature block for the non-viewing co-borrower who is required to sign the document.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying one or more statements in the document that are required in the document to comply with federal or state laws and regulations.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the document is a closing document for a loan.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the document is the closing document for a mortgage.

11. An electronic computing device configured to display information on a user interface of a mobile device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

system memory, the system memory including instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic computing device to:

omit content of a document pertaining to a non-viewing co-borrower;

condense a remainder of the document surrounding the content;

display the document to a viewing co-borrower on the user interface of the mobile device, based at least in part on a size of the user interface of the mobile device;

display an index including links to a plurality of sections of the document;

provide a signature block for the viewing co-borrower, including:

receiving a selection of the signature block from the viewing co-borrower;

generating a signature overlay on the document; and

receiving a confirmation of a signature by the viewing co-borrower on the signature overlay, whereupon advancement to another section in the document via the index is permitted only after receipt of the confirmation of the signature by the viewing co-borrower; and

display the document including the content upon viewing by the non-viewing co-borrower.

12. The electronic computing device of claim 11 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic computing device to:

obtain residence information for the viewing co-borrower who is required to sign the document; and

tailor the document to the residence information for the viewing co-borrower, comprising hiding or condensing one or more portions of the document that pertain to laws in other jurisdictions.

13. The electronic computing device of claim 11 , wherein the content includes another signature block for the non-viewing co-borrower who is required to sign the document.

14. The electronic computing device of claim 11 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic computing device to identify one or more statements in the document that are required in the document to comply with federal or state laws and regulations.

15. The electronic computing device of claim 14 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic computing device to tailor the document to insert a box around the one or more statements in the document.

16. The electronic computing device of claim 11 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic computing device to:

identify one or more instances where an interest rate or a finance charge appears in the document; and

include each instance of the interest rate or the finance charge in bold font or in a color other than black.

17. The electronic computing device of claim 16 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic computing device to use hypertext markup language formatting to include the interest rate or the finance charge in the bold font or in the color other than black.

18. The electronic computing device of claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is a smartphone.
