Method for authenticating smart glasses in a data network

An authentication system for a data network, comprising:

• smart glasses;
• an authentication computer;
• and
• a terminal,
• wherein the authentication system is configured to, when operating in the data network, perform a method comprising:
• transmitting a message by the smart glasses to the authentication computer of the data network by a digital data transfer in the data network;
• generating and transmitting by the authentication computer, in response to the transmitted message, a first transaction code to the smart glasses by a digital data transfer in the data network;
• receiving, in response to a first operation performed on a terminal not associated with the smart glasses, authorization data of a user, which is not inputted by the smart glasses;
• processing the authorization data of the user by the authentication computer, which carries out an authentication of the user on the basis of the authorization data;
• receiving, by the authentication computer, in a case of a successful authentication of the user, a second transaction code, which is not inputted by the smart glasses, in response to a second operation performed on the terminal;
• and
• checking by the authentication computer whether the second transaction code matches the first transaction code;
• and
• if the checking shows that the second transaction code matches the first transaction code;
• providing an access right for the smart glasses by the authentication computer;
• and
• storing the access right in the smart glasses,
• wherein the access right enables the smart glasses to access one or a plurality of predetermined services in the data network.

An apparatus for authenticating smart glasses, comprising:

• an authentication computer configured to receive a message from smart glasses by a digital data transfer in a data network, and to generate and transmit, in response to the received message, a first transaction code to the smart glasses by a digital data transfer in the data network;
• and
• a terminal configured to perform a first operation and a second operation, the terminal not being associated with the smart glasses,
• wherein the authentication computer is further configured to:
• receive, in response to the first operation by the terminal, authorization data of a user, which is not inputted by the smart glasses;
• process the authorization data of the user to carry out an authentication of the user on the basis of the authorization data;
• receive, in a case of a successful authentication of the user, a second transaction code, which is not inputted by the smart glasses, in response to the second operation;
• check whether the second transaction code matches the first transaction code;
• and if it is checked that the second transaction code matches the first transaction code:
• provide an access right for the smart glasses;
• and
• store the access right in the smart glasses,
• wherein the access right enables the smart glasses to access one or a plurality of predetermined services in the data network.
