Abstract
Methods and tangible computer-readable media for synchronizing a mobile device to a display via a communication network are disclosed. For example, a method receives an identification code from a display and sends a request to the communication network to establish a communication session between a mobile device and the display. The request comprises the identification code. Thereafter, the communication session is established via the communication network. Another method receives a request to establish a communication session between the mobile device and the display. The request comprises an identification code of the display that was received by the mobile device from the display. The method then establishes the communication session.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, an identification code for a display;
- and
- presenting, by the processor, the identification code on the display, wherein the identification code comprises an image presented on the display at a rate where the image is not detectable to a human eye, wherein the image is presented in its entirety in each and every frame of a plurality of frames, the image being superimposed over one or more existing images displayed in the plurality of frames, wherein the image represents an internet protocol address and at least one extension that is assigned by an operator of the display, wherein the at least one extension comprises at least a time stamp, wherein the image is for establishing a communication session between a mobile device and the display.
A display, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining an identification code for a display;
- and
- presenting the identification code on the display, wherein the identification code comprises an image presented on the display at a rate where the image is not detectable to a human eye, wherein the image is presented in its entirety in each and every frame of a plurality of frames, the image being superimposed over one or more existing images displayed in the plurality of frames, wherein the image represents an Internet protocol address and at least one extension that is assigned by an operator of the display, wherein the at least one extension comprises at least a time stamp, wherein the image is for establishing a communication session between a mobile device and the display.
A tangible computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining an identification code for a display;
- and
- presenting the identification code on the display, wherein the identification code comprises an image presented on the display at a rate where the image is not detectable to a human eye, wherein the image is presented in its entirety in each and every frame of a plurality of frames, the image being superimposed over one or more existing images displayed in the plurality of frames, wherein the image represents an Internet protocol address and at least one extension that is assigned by an operator of the display, wherein the at least one extension comprises at least a time stamp, wherein the image is for establishing a communication session between a mobile device and the display.
