Abstract
A method for acquiring a person's signature includes handwriting a signature by projecting movements of light. Signature information with respect to the projected light movements is concurrently acquired. The signature information is compiled to create a signature image.
Claims39
A method for acquiring a person's signature, comprising:
- handwriting a signature by projecting movements of light;
- concurrently acquiring signature information with respect to the projected light movements with an image-processing device;
- and
- compiling the signature information into a signature image via the image-processing device;
- wherein the step of acquiring signature information with respect to the projected light movements comprises (i) capturing signature-information images of the projected light movements, and (ii) compiling the signature-information images into a signature image.

A method for capturing signature information, comprising:
- providing an image-processing device that includes (i) a camera for capturing signature information within the camera's field of view, (ii) a display for displaying signature information captured by the camera, and (iii) a computer processor communicatively connected to the camera and the display;
- handwriting a signature by projecting light onto a surface using a light-emitting device;
- as the signature is handwritten on the surface, concurrently capturing signature information with respect to the projected light using the image-processing device's camera;
- processing the signature information to compile a signature image using the image-processing device's processor;
- and
- displaying the compiled signature image using the image-processing device's display;
- wherein the step of acquiring signature information with respect to the projected light comprises (i) capturing signature-information images of the projected light, and (ii) compiling the signature-information images into a signature image.
