Electronic document processing systems and methods for communications commerce

A method for digitally marking a document on a mobile device, the method comprising:

• loading an application on an initiating mobile platform, the application being configured to manipulate a digital document by:
• transforming the digital document using a manipulation protocol, the protocol enabling addition of document markers selected from the group consisting of a natural signature, natural initials, a date, text, images and combinations thereof;
• generating the document markers in the transformed digital document;
• sending the transformed digital document to a recipient mobile platform;
• creating a tertiary digital document from the transformed digital document by addition on the recipient mobile platform of at least one of the natural signature, the natural initials, the date, the text, the images or a discrete recipient mobile platform identifier;
• and
• returning the tertiary digital document to the initiating mobile platform.

A system for applying natural signatures to a document on a mobile device, the system comprising:

• importing a document into a first mobile platform;
• transforming the document into an activated document on the first mobile platform, the activated document enabled to receive a natural signature, a natural initial set, a date, a text, an image, a discrete recipient mobile platform identifier and combinations thereof;
• receiving the activated document on a second mobile platform;
• and
• adding in the activated document on the second mobile platform at least one of the natural signature, the natural initial set, the date, the text, the image and the discrete recipient mobile platform identifier to form an authenticated document.

A mobile system serving activated documents, the mobile system comprising:

• (a) an interactive mobile application containing an inert document defining a plurality of visually perceptible elements, the interactive mobile application belonging to a first portable host, wherein the inert document is activated by the interactive mobile application to associate an interactive marker to transform the inert document into an activated document;
• and
• (b) a second portable host in communication with the first portable host, the second portable host programmed to:
• (i) receive from the first portable host the activated document and a prompt;
• (ii) automatically identify the interactive marker among the plurality of visually perceptible elements corresponding to the prompt;
• (iii) in response to identification of the interactive marker, automatically retrieve stored data to enable a response to the prompt;
• and
• (iv) using the data retrieved, enable the response in the form of a natural signature or natural initials and to transmit to the first portable host a tertiary document that displays:
• (A) unique identifying information associated with the second portable host;
• and
• (B) the natural signature or the natural initials disposed at the interactive marker among the plurality of visually perceptible elements.
