US Patent 11586806 Distributed electronic signature processing

A technique for distributed electronic signature processing includes displaying a document for signature on a first device along with an optically-readable code. A second device scans the optically-readable code displayed by the first device, initiating a process that transfers signature entry from the first device to the second device, which may receive handwritten signatures input or otherwise provided thereon. The second device then accepts the physical signature, which is used to effectuate a signing of the document.
