Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic signature platforms lack personalization and interactivity, resulting in a generic and impersonal user experience that fails to engage users effectively.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating personalized media such as greeting videos, interactive conversational forms, and celebratory games and animations into the electronic signing process to create a more engaging and memorable experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional electronic signature platforms are used, then the signing process is simple and efficient, but the user experience is generic and impersonal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of signing processVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The signing process is divided into distinct phases with personalized media embedded at specific points (welcome video before signing, celebratory video after signing). This allows the core signing function to remain simple while adding personalization segments that enhance user experience without complicating the overall process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Personalized welcome videos and media content are prepared and embedded in advance before the actual signing occurs. This preliminary action creates an engaging experience from the start while keeping the signing itself straightforward, as the personalization elements are pre-positioned and require no additional user effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalized media is embedded into the signing process, then user engagement and satisfaction are enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The personalized media elements (videos, animations) are merged with the existing electronic signature platform infrastructure rather than operating as separate systems. The media are embedded within the signing workflow, combining multiple functions (personalization, guidance, celebration) into a unified process that doesn't require additional complex systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The platform automatically handles the embedding, delivery, and timing of personalized media without requiring manual intervention or complex configuration from users. The system self-manages the personalization process, reducing the operational complexity burden on users while maintaining high personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If interactive elements are added to the signing process, then user engagement is improved, but the time required for signing may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteractivityVSAvoidsigning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Interactive media elements are deployed at specific periodic points in the signing workflow (welcome video at the beginning, celebratory video at the end) rather than continuously throughout the entire process. This periodic placement provides engagement boosts at critical moments without adding time burden during the core signing activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

Personalized media are provided selectively at key moments rather than exhaustively throughout the entire signing process. This partial action approach ensures engagement at critical points while minimizing the time impact, as the media are brief and strategically placed rather than continuously present.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Embedding personalized media into electronic document signing sessions in an electronic signature service includes receiving an electronic document, and media associated with the electronic document, from a document sender during generation of a signing package for a document signer to electronically sign. The electronic signature service embeds the media into the signing package with the electronic document and transmits notice of the signing package to the document signer. The media is displayed to the document signer at predetermined times respective to the commencement of an electronic signing session with the electronic signature service to electronically sign the electronic document.
