Abstract

Systems and methods for content display are disclosed. An example system may include an authentication system configured to receive a request from an application to authenticate the application, and to send an instruction to a content delivery system to provide an application programming interface (API) to the application based on authenticating the application. The content delivery system may be configured to provide the API to the application based on receiving the instruction from the authentication system, to receive a call from the application to the API to display content, and to cause the content to be displayed on a display device based on the call to the API.

Claims42

Dependent claims

A method of displaying content on a display device, comprising:

displaying, using a content delivery system, an identification to a user via a display device, wherein the identification includes a code that identifies an instance of the content delivery system;
receiving, from an application, a request to authenticate the application;
after displaying the identification including the code to the user via the display device, receiving the identification including the code from the user;
authenticating the application based at least in part on the identification;
using the code, identifying the instance of the content delivery system as corresponding to a specific instance that is to receive, via streaming, content of the application and provide the content of the application to be displayed on the display device;
according to the authenticated application, providing, by the content delivery system, an application programming interface (API) to the application;
receiving, from the application, a call to the API to display the content of the application;
receiving, via streaming, the content of the application;
and
causing to output the content of the application on the display device.

7 more elements

A content display system, comprising:

a content delivery system configured to display to a user, via a display device, an identification including a code that identifies an instance of the content delivery system;
an authentication system configured to:
receive a request from an application to authenticate the application, wherein the application is executed on a device that is remote from the authentication system, the content delivery system, and the display device;
receive the identification including the code from the user after the content delivery system displays the code to the user via the display device;
authenticate the application based at least in part on the identification;
using the code, identify the instance of the content delivery system as corresponding to a specific instance that is to receive, via streaming, content of the application and provide the content of the application to be displayed on the display device;
and
send an instruction to the content delivery system to provide an application programming interface (API) to the application based on authenticating the application;
and
the content delivery system further configured to provide the API to the application based on receiving the instruction from the authentication system, to receive a call from the application to the API to display the content of the application, to receive the content via streaming, and to cause the content of the application to be displayed on the display device based on the call to the API.

A content display system, comprising:

a content delivery system configured to display to a user, via a display device, an identification including a code that identifies an instance of the content delivery system;
an authentication system configured to:
receive a request from an application to authenticate the application, wherein the application is executed on a device that is remote from the authentication system, the content delivery system, and the display device;
receive the identification including the code from the user after the content delivery system displays the code to the user via the display device;
authenticate the application based at least in part on the identification;
using the code, identify the instance of the content delivery system as corresponding to a specific instance that is to receive, via streaming, content of the application and provide the content of the application to be displayed on the display device;
and
send an instruction to the content delivery system to provide an application programming interface (API) to the application based on authenticating the application,
wherein the authentication system includes a machine that executes instructions on a processor, and the content delivery system includes another machine that executes instructions on another processor;
and
the content delivery system further configured to provide the API to the application based on receiving the instruction from the authentication system, to receive a call from the application to the API to display the content of the application, to receive the content via streaming, and to cause the content of the application to be displayed on the display device based on the call to the API.
