  • Patent number: 9497276
    Abstract: The sharing of video content published online is tracked enabling the generation of a share tracking report. A first client shares video content using a first identifier that associates the first client to the video content and sharing statistics are updated. A second client accesses the video content via the first identifier and is associated with a second identifier that can used to share the video content by the second client. The second identifier is also associated with the first identifier to create a chain of discovery. A subsequent client accesses the video content via the second identifier and the sharing statistics associated with the second identifier are updated, thus continuing to add to the chain of discovery. A report is generated comprising sharing information, which includes one or more of a chain of discovery and at least one sharing statistic.

  • Patent number: 8572711
    Abstract: A system for in-person identity verification comprises a computing device, an identity broker, a verifier system and a network. The user computing device sends a request for identity verification to the identity broker and it responds with a verification ticket including a unique identification number. The user presents the ticket to a clerk using the verifier system. The clerk inputs the unique identification number to the verifier system, the verifier system sends it to the identity broker and the identity broker sends user information that the verifier system presents to the clerk. The clerk compares the information to a photo government ID of the user and inputs whether the information presented by the user matches the information presented by the verifier, and whether the person is the person in the photo ID. Based on the clerk's input, the identity broker sends to the user computing device a message indicating whether the verification was confirmed or declined.
