Electronic Signatures
Posted: Thu Jun 24, 2004 10:26 am
I have been asked to investigate methods for capturing signatures from devices such as an IPAQ / XDA2 etc via a web browser.
This is the scenario. An employee goes to a customers location, the customer fills in a form on the ipaq/xda. The form, is a simple web form running in a browser from the device.
At the end of the form, the customer, is required to sign the form to make it legaly binding. When it is signed, all information from the form is processed and put into a database. I then need an image file, containing the signature to be put in a location on a server.
Does anybody have any pointers/guides/documents on how to capture and format a signature. is it done using java, or can i use something like PHP to produce this.
I would really appreciate some help with this, as i havent got a clue where to start.
I believe the correct term is "Electronic Signatures"
