The ExpeData Signature Capture Solution for BlackBerry

The ExpeData Signature Capture Solution adds great flexibility to BlackBerry-based applications for the mobile business and field service professional. Leveraging a Bluetooth digital pen and digital paper, handwritten signatures can be captured and transferred to BlackBerry-based applications. There it can be viewed on the screen and integrated with existing applications. This capability is targeted at the mobile workforce, enabling them to capture signatures.

How Does It Work?

The receiver of goods and/or services signs his name using a Bluetooth-enabled digital pen on an ExpeData signature slip. The customer’s custom-made application will then capture
the handwritten signature as an image, allowing it to be merged with other data captured with the BlackBerry device.

Product Specifications

There are two components to the product offering. First is the Software Development Kit (SDK) that the customer can use to build signature capture into their Java applications for
use on a BlackBerry device. This allows total customization and seamless integration. The second component is the end user starter kit that is used for the signature capture. This
consists of everything a user needs; including Bluetooth digital pen and digital paper signature pads.
