Firstly I must apologise for not phrasing this query in the most accessible way; I am not a developer but need to get a grasp of what is possible with regard to a specific feature of an application my company are in the process of putting together.
My company are working on a number of concepts for capturing electronic signatures, along with various other functions, which will form part of a data management solution. One of the key goals that needs to be achieved is the high level of accuracy, and true reflection, of the signature itself.
To achieve this we are looking at a stylus input on an android tablet using a handwriting touch input method. The problem we are anticipating is that, as someone enters their signature, their hand resting on the tablet will interfere with the recognition of the signature. From a user's point of view I would look at one of the 2 following solutions but have no idea whether they are feasible from a development standpoint;
Many thanks for your time,
Richard

From a user's point of view I would look at one of the 2 following solutions but have no idea whether they are feasible from a development standpoint;
- Restrict the input area on the device when entering a specific handwriting field - when the signature box is selected only the signature box itself (as well as separate "OK" and "Cancel" buttons) would be responsive. The rest of the screen would not accept or interupt the input of the user writing their signature.
- Restrict the multi-touch option so that, when the signature box is active, multiple touch inputs are ignored and only the first registered contact is tracked and recorded.
