Video retrieval

A system, comprising:

• a qualification engine to perform a qualification process for a trigger generation process;
• an extraction engine to extract still frames from the video associated with a user;
• a display engine to display, in a graphical user interface (GUI) for selection, the still frames qualified by the qualification process;
• a communication engine to receive a selection of a name tag associated with the user and identify a list of contacts for the user, and to receive a selection of one of the displayed still frames via the GUI;
• and
• a generation engine to associate the name tag with the selected still frame and to perform the trigger generation process on the selected still frame to generate a trigger for the selected still frame.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a device to:

• assign a first user as a contact to a second user in response to receiving a name tag from the second user, the name tag identifying the first user;
• receive an image of a still frame extracted from a portion of a video, wherein the name tag is associated with the still frame;
• generate a trigger based on the received image;
• and
• retrieve the video using the generated trigger, wherein permission to retrieve the video is established upon the assignment of the first user as a contact to the second user.
