CIC Granted Key Patent for Electronic Signature Technology.Business Editors & High Tech Writers REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2000 (Nasdaq:CICI CICI Cochlear Implant Club International ) Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC CIC circulating immune complexes. CIC Circulating immune complexes. See Immune complexes. "), the leading supplier of natural input and electronic signature solutions, today announced that it has been granted a United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. Patent entitled Method for Dynamic Reconstruction of Handwritten hand·write tr.v. hand·wrote , hand·writ·ten , hand·writ·ing, hand·writes To write by hand. [Back-formation from handwritten.] Adj. 1. Data. The patented method provides for reconstructing data generated from a digitizer dig·i·tize tr.v. dig·i·tized, dig·i·tiz·ing, dig·i·tiz·es To put (data, for example) into digital form. dig surface based upon the dynamics employed in generating the data. The invention is highly suited for use in signature verification applications as it provides a much more reliable method for identifying forgeries than systems based upon static image comparison. The technology covered under this patent is a key component in several of the Company's current product offerings and is an essential element in the non-repudiation of electronic signatures. Using this technology, forensic examiners have the capability of comparing features of an electronic signature similar to those used in traditional handwriting or signature analysis. This enables them to ascertain the authenticity of the signature. Russ Davis
The patented method reconstructs from stored data a representation of the dynamics of a signature. The representation of the dynamics of a signature being offered as authentic can then be compared to the representation of the dynamics of the stored signature. Under one embodiment of the invention variations in the velocity employed in writing various segments of the signature would be detectable in the representations. Variations in stroke sequence can also be used to identify a forgery forgery, in art forgery, in art, the false claim to authenticity for a work of art. The Nature of Forgery Because the provenance of works of art is seldom clear and because their origin is often judged by means of subtle factors, art , for example, at what point in the signature process is a "t" crossed or an "i" dotted. Various combinations of such evaluation criteria can be established in the same application.
