System and methods for pairing external devices to virtual reality devices

A method for performing a pairing process between a VR device and an external service subscription associated with an external device, the external service subscription having a subscription ID, the VR device comprising a computing device to perform the pairing process, the external device comprising a pairing system to perform the pairing process and access into the service subscription, wherein the pairing process is authenticated by an authentication module configured to perform authentication via the external device to verify that a user is authorized to use the service subscription, the method comprising:

• prompting the user via the computing device in the VR device to introduce or select a subscription ID associated to the external service subscription in the VR device;
• receiving in the authentication module a request to validate the ownership of the external service subscription;
• sending from the authentication module a challenge to the user to the external device to prove the ownership of the external service subscription, wherein the challenge comprises sending a pairing code to the user;
• emitting via the computing device in the external device an acoustic signal that corresponds to the pairing code;
• upon receiving the acoustic signal in the VR device, decoding the pairing code and validating the decoded pairing code with the authentication module;
• and
• completing pairing between the VR device and the external service subscription associated with the external device upon successful validation of the decoded pairing code by the authentication module.
