transmitting signature

My goal (if attainable) is to program something that is akin to how UPS
delivery men collects signatures and more.  Here is the scenario.

- An inspector visits a restaurant.
- Uses a PDA to fill out a web form programmed to document deficiencies
- Have the restaurant owner sign on the PDA
- transmit the signature over to the web application, tie it to the web form
that the inspector filled out

Is this far fetched?

Decomposing the problem into several subproblems.
- How would I transmit an image bearing a signature over to the web
application.  A web service, I am guessing?
- Then with the received image, I would have to come up with a way to tie it
to the specific record.

Your helpful insight will be greatly appreciated.  The project is in a
preliminary stage right now.  I have not done any .NET wireless programming.

Well the hardest part is capturing the signature into a file, once that is
done, you simple send the file as an attachment in the HTTP request (similar
to the way you upload files as attachments in your web-based e-mail
account), then the form its received by the Web server and through ASP.NET
you store the data in a Database, either with the image in a field of the DB
or with a field bearing the path to the image.

Do you have a suggestion on how to go about doing exactly that?
