## Abstract

The present invention solves the problem by having: a first recording unit which accepts a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and records the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document; a second recording unit which records record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded by the first recording unit; and a managing unit which manages the record information recorded by the second recording unit and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-12. (canceled)

### Claim 13

A managing system comprising:
a first recording unit which accepts a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and records the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document;
a second recording unit which records record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded by the first recording unit;
a managing unit which manages the record information recorded by the second recording unit and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data; and
a judging unit which judges whether or not an allowable condition in a transaction using the electronic document is satisfied in correspondence with whether or not a transaction position indicated by the transaction position information included in the record information recorded by the second recording unit is within an allowable position range from a transaction planned position indicated by transaction planned position information having been registered in advance.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The managing system according to claim 13,
wherein the second recording unit records the record information which further includes transaction date and hour information at the time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in the image data, and
wherein the judging unit judges whether or not the allowable condition is satisfied, in correspondence with whether or not a transaction date and hour indicated by the transaction date and hour information included in the record information is within an allowable date and hour range from a transaction planned date and hour indicated by transaction planned date and hour information having been registered in advance and the transaction position is within the allowable position range.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The managing system according to claim 13, further comprising:
a presenting unit which presents a warning message when it is judged that the allowable condition is not satisfied by the judging unit.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The managing system according to any one of claims 13, further comprising:
a collating unit which collates the record information included in the managing information managed by the managing unit with the record information recorded in the image data included in the managing information.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

The managing system according to claim 13,
wherein the first recording unit accepts the handwritten electronic signature by a party to a contract being the transactor and records the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic contract document being the electronic document, and
wherein the second recording unit records the record information including contract position information being the transaction position information at the time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic contract document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded by the first recording unit.

### Claim 18

A portable terminal device comprising:
a first recording unit which accepts a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and records the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document;
a second recording unit which records record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded by the first recording unit; and
a transmitting unit which transmits the record information recorded by the second recording unit and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data.

### Claim 19

A managing method performed by a managing system, the managing method comprising:
a first recording step of accepting a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and recording the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document;
a second recording step of recording record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded in the first recording step;
a managing step of managing the record information recorded in the second recording step and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data; and
a judging step of judging whether or not an allowable condition in a transaction using the electronic document is satisfied in correspondence with whether or not a transaction position indicated by the transaction position information included in the record information recorded in the second recording step is within an allowable position range from a transaction planned position indicated by transaction planned position information having been registered in advance.

### Claim 20

An information processing method performed by a portable terminal device, the information processing method comprising:
a first recording step of accepting a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and recording the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document;
a second recording step of recording record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded in the first recording step; and
a transmitting step of transmitting the record information recorded in the second recording step and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data.

### Claim 21

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program product for a computer to execute:
a first recording step of accepting a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and recording the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document;
a second recording step of recording record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded in the first recording step;
a managing step of managing the record information recorded in the second recording step and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data; and
a judging step of judging whether or not an allowable condition in a transaction using the electronic document is satisfied in correspondence with whether or not a transaction position indicated by the transaction position information included in the record information recorded in the second recording step is within an allowable position range from a transaction planned position indicated by transaction planned position information having been registered in advance.

### Claim 22

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program product for a computer to execute:
a first recording step of accepting a handwritten electronic signature by a transactor and recording the handwritten electronic signature in an electronic document;
a second recording step of recording record information including transaction position information at a time that the handwritten electronic signature is recorded, in image data of the electronic document where the handwritten electronic signature is recorded in the first recording step; and
a transmitting step of transmitting the record information recorded in the second recording step and the image data where the record information is recorded as managing information, while associating the record information with the image data.
