System and method for providing authentic signatures on demand

1. A system for generating a limited edition of a signed object, the system comprising:

an electronic database storing electronic data representative of a plurality of handwritten signatures and a plurality of handwritten numbers of a user associated with a user ID;

a signing component;

a server comprising a processor configured to:

detect or receive an object for signing;

receive or determine signature information regarding the object, the signature information comprising the user ID, an edition number associated with the object, and a total number of limited editions of the object;

determine a composition of a composite signature, the composite signature comprising one handwritten signature of the plurality of handwritten signatures, the edition number associated with the object, and the total number of limited editions of the object;

obtain the handwritten signature from the plurality of handwritten signatures stored in the database based on the user ID;

obtain a handwritten number of the plurality of handwritten numbers corresponding to the edition number associated with the object, and a second handwritten number of the plurality of handwritten numbers corresponding to the total number of limited editions of the object based on the user ID;

determine a location and a size for the composite signature; and

apply the composite signature on the object, by the signing component, based on the determined location and size of the composite signature.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signing component comprises a plotting apparatus.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the plotting apparatus comprises a plotting instrument and a plotting surface upon which the object is placed for signing.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to apply the handwritten signature from the plurality of handwritten signatures only once to the object.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to apply the handwritten number of the plurality of handwritten numbers only once to the object.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signing component is configured to apply the composite signature digitally on the object.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to remove the handwritten signature from the plurality of handwritten signatures stored in the database once the handwritten signature has been applied to the object.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to reject the object for signing when the total number of limited editions of the object exceeds a total number of the plurality of handwritten numbers stored in the database.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the edition number associated with the object based on one or more of the plurality of handwritten numbers available for application to the object.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a device configured to receive electronic signals representative of one or more of the plurality of handwritten signatures, or one or more of the plurality of handwritten numbers.

11. A computer-implemented method for generating a limited edition of a signed object, the method comprising:

receiving or detecting an object for signing;

receiving or determining signature information regarding the object, the signature information comprising a user ID, an edition number associated with the object, and a total number of limited editions of the object;

determining a composition of a composite signature, the composite signature comprising one handwritten signature of a plurality of handwritten signatures stored in a database, the edition number associated with the object, and the total number of limited editions of the object;

obtaining the handwritten signature from the plurality of handwritten signatures based on the user ID;

obtaining a handwritten number of the plurality of handwritten numbers corresponding to the edition number associated with the object, and a second handwritten number of the plurality of handwritten numbers corresponding to the total number of limited editions of the object based on the user ID;

determining a location and a size for the composite signature; and

applying the composite signature on the object, by a signing component, based on the determined location and size of the composite signature.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein applying the composite signature on the object comprises controlling a plotting apparatus to applying the composite signature on the object.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plotting apparatus comprises a plotting instrument and a plotting surface upon which the object is placed for signing.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the handwritten signature from the plurality of handwritten signatures is applied only once to the object.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the handwritten number of the plurality of handwritten numbers is applied only once to the object.

16. The method of claim 11 , comprising digitally applying the composite signature on the object.

17. The method of claim 14 , comprising removing the handwritten signature from the plurality of handwritten signatures stored in the database once the handwritten signature has been applied to the object.

18. The method of claim 11 , comprising rejecting the object for signing when the total number of limited editions of the object exceeds a total number of the plurality of handwritten numbers stored in the database.

19. The method of claim 11 , comprising determining the edition number associated with the object based on one or more of the plurality of handwritten numbers available for application to the object.

20. The method of claim 11 , comprising receiving, from a remote device, electronic signals representative of one or more of the plurality of handwritten signatures, or one or more of the plurality of handwritten numbers.
