Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to methods of generating a clip from a video displayed on a screen, comprising: storing a set of videos in a database of a server, each video containing a sequence of pictures; capturing an image of the screen displaying one of the videos of said set, with a capturing device; transmitting the image, or a fingerprint derived from the image, from the capturing device to the server; in the server, matching the image or fingerprint with at least one of the pictures of one of the videos in the database to determine a matching video and a timestamp of a matching picture in the matching video; and extracting a clip from the matching video, the clip having a length shorter than that of said video and having a start and a stop time in a given relation to said timestamp. The disclosed subject matter further relates to a server and a capturing device to be used in said methods.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include systems and methods for identifying and verifying remote users. In one aspect, a method includes: (1) receiving, from a client device of a remote user: (a) an image of an identification document; and (b) login information for accessing a user account; (2) extracting identification credentials of the remote user from the image; (3) associating the user account with the extracted identification credentials; (4) receiving user information from a remote third-party server; (5) determining that the user information corresponds to the user account; (6) retrieving the extracted identification credentials of the remote user; and (7) transmitting the extracted identification credentials to the remote third-party server.

Abstract: A method of identifying a user for transactions includes receiving an image of an identification document of the user during a first transaction with a first party, wherein the image is obtained using an image acquisition module of a device of the user, receiving a device ID of the user's device, extracting identification credentials of the user from the image, storing the identification credentials of the user and the device ID of the user's device on a server, wherein the device ID is associated with the identification credentials of the user, during a subsequent transaction with a second party, receiving the device ID of the user's device, retrieving the identification credentials of the user based on the device ID, and transmitting the retrieved identification credentials to the second party to identify the user for the subsequent transaction.
