Methods and distributed computer devices for automatically determining whether a document is genuine. The method involves generating an image of the document, pre-processing of the image to obtain at least one segment of the image with an area of interest and dividing the at least one segment into portions containing single characters and/or combinations of characters. A validation of at least two single characters and/or at least two combinations of characters is performed for each of the single character and/or character combinations for at least two different categories. Score values are created for each category for each validated single character and/or character combination. Feature vectors are created for each single character and/or character combination, with the respective score values for each category as components. The method involves classifying the feature vectors to determine whether the single character or character combination to which the feature vector is associated is genuine.

Search requests are processed in a distributed database environment comprising a frontend-module, one or more clients, a cache, a live data source and multiple data records comprising at least one stable and at least one volatile data piece changing at a first and a second change rate, respectively, whereas the second is higher than the first change rate. The cache stores the stable data pieces. The frontend module receives a search request from a client and retrieves from the cache a data records set. The stable data pieces of the set correspond to search criteria indicated in the request. The frontend-module retrieves, from the live data source, current volatile data pieces corresponding to the stable data pieces of the retrieved set. The frontend-module generates and returns to the requesting client a combination of the stable and the current volatile data pieces of the data records.
