Abstract
A server receives a first key from a mobile device. The mobile device comprises a mobile device proximity-based device that receives the first key from a product and/or product package proximity-based device associated with a product and/or a product package when the mobile device is within a proximity to the product and/or product package proximity-based device. Further, the server receives a second key from the mobile device. In addition, the server receives a third key from a checkout device after purchase of the product and/or the product package. The server also provides cloud-based entitlement to media content associated with the product and/or the product package to a user identifier.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, a first key from a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a mobile device proximity-based device that receives the first key from a product and/or product package proximity-based device associated with a product and/or a product package when the mobile device is within a proximity to the product and/or product package proximity-based device;
- receiving, at the server, a second key from the mobile device;
- receiving, at the server, a third key from a checkout device after purchase of the product and/or the product package;
- and
- providing, with the server, a cloud-based entitlement to media content associated with the product and/or the product package to a user identifier.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored thereon, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- receive, at a server, a first key from a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a mobile device proximity-based device that receives the first key from a product and/or product package proximity-based device associated with a product and/or a product package when the mobile device is within a proximity to the product and/or product package proximity-based device;
- receive, at the server, a second key from the mobile device;
- receive, at the server, a third key from a checkout device after purchase of the product and/or the product package;
- and
- provide, with the server, cloud-based entitlement to media associated with the product and/or the product package to a user identifier.
The method of claim 22, wherein the proximity is predefined.
An apparatus comprising:
- a server that receives a first key from a mobile device, receives a second key from the mobile device, receives a third key from a checkout device after purchase of the product and/or the product package, and provides cloud-based entitlement to media associated with the product and/or the product package to a user identifier, the mobile device comprising a mobile device proximity-based device that receives the first key from a product and/or product package proximity-based device associated with a product and/or a product package when the mobile device is within a proximity to the product and/or product package proximity-based device.
