Abstract
Various embodiments enable an application on a first device to log into an online meeting in association with a trusted entity, such as a trusted user. Once trust is established between the trusted entity and the meeting domain, such as an enterprise domain, permissions can be assigned to a meeting device, by virtue of the trust relationship with the trusted entity, to enable the meeting device to join the meeting as a participant, thus allowing the meeting device to bypass an initial join process such as a meeting lobby and the like. By virtue of the assigned permissions, the meeting device may take control of the meeting and control the experience for others in the meeting as a fleeting organizer or some other permission-centric role.
Claims20
A first computing device for accessing a network-based service using a second computing device, the first computing device comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- a memory comprising instructions, which when performed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- establishing a locational proximity to the second computing device, the locational proximity establishing that the first and second computing devices are within a threshold distance of each other;
- confirming a trust relationship with the second computing device based upon an exchange of data with the second computing device, the second computing device having authenticated with the network-based service, the trust relationship indicating an access privilege for the second computing device to access the network-based service;
- accessing the network-based service based upon the locational proximity and the trust relationship, the first computing device not authorized to access the network-based service without having first established the locational proximity and the trust relationship with the second computing device, the network-based service provided by a server computing device, the server computing device providing the network-based service by sending content between a plurality of devices;
- and
- responsive to accessing with the network-based service, receiving content from the network-based service.
A method for accessing a network-based service on a first computing device using a second computing device, the method comprising:
- on the first computing device:
- establishing a locational proximity to the second computing device, the locational proximity establishing that the first and second computing devices are within a threshold distance of each other;
- confirming a trust relationship with the second computing device based upon an exchange of data with the second computing device, the second computing device having authenticated with the network-based service, the trust relationship indicating an access privilege for the second computing device to access the network-based service;
- accessing the network-based service based upon the locational proximity and the trust relationship, the first computing device not authorized to access the network-based service without having first established the locational proximity and the trust relationship with the second computing device, the network-based service provided by a server computing device, the server computing device providing the network-based service by sending content between a plurality of devices;
- and
- responsive to accessing with the network-based service, receiving content from the network-based service.
A first computing device for accessing a network-based service using a second computing device, the first computing device comprising:
- means for establishing a locational proximity to the second computing device, the locational proximity establishing that the first and second computing devices are within a threshold distance of each other;
- means for confirming a trust relationship with the second computing device based upon an exchange of data with the second computing device, the second computing device having authenticated with the network-based service, the trust relationship indicating an access privilege for the second computing device to access the network-based service;
- means for accessing the network-based service based upon the locational proximity and the trust relationship, the first computing device not authorized to access the network-based service without having first established the locational proximity and the trust relationship with the second computing device, the network-based service provided by a server computing device, the server computing device providing the network-based service by sending content between a plurality of devices;
- and
- means for, responsive to accessing with the network-based service, receiving content from the network-based service.
