A new Apple invention has made its way into the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, one that allows an author or artist to digitally sign their name to an ebook or other digital content such as a game.
While some people prefer to have a physical book signed by their favorite author – not to mention the feel of a real book compared to a digital one – this process will allow them to store a personal signature on any digital content.
Apple provided an example of how the app will work, which you can see above. It basically comes with an ebook download with a specifically set-aside page for autographs, which can then be stored into cloud storage through the app.
First filed in 2012, the process is still in the development stage, with no set date for release. More technical details can be found at the link below.
