Method and a System for Binding an Audio Accessory Device with a Program Application

A system for verification of a user device comprising

• an audio accessory device having at least one speaker and being configured to connect to at least one user device for providing audio from the user device to the audio accessory device,
• a computer application program accessible from the at least one user device,
• a verification ID provided external of the audio accessory device and comprising audio accessory device identification information identifying a specific audio accessory device,
• a user interface facilitating interaction between a user of the audio accessory device and the user device, and for user facilitated entering of the verification ID,
• a verification server configured to receive the verification ID from the user device and to verify the user device for use with the computer application program, if the verification ID is valid.

A method of verifying a user device for use with a computer application program configured to communicate with an audio accessory device, the audio accessory device being configured to connect to at least one user device for providing audio from the user device to the audio accessory device,

• the method comprising
• providing the audio accessory device together with a verification ID, the verification ID being provided external of the audio accessory device and comprising audio accessory device identification information identifying the audio accessory device,
• initiating installation of a computer application program on the at least one computing device,
• entering the verification ID on the user device via a user device user interface,
• sending the verification ID to a verification server to determine whether the verification ID is valid,
• verifying the user device for use with the computer application program, if the verification ID is valid.

A method of validating use of an audio accessory device, the audio accessory device having at least one speaker and being configured to connect to at least one user device for providing audio from the user device to the audio accessory device,

• the method comprising
• providing a verification ID together with an audio accessory device, the verification ID identifying a specific audio accessory device,
• sending via the user device, a request comprising the verification ID to a request server configured to receive verification requests
• comparing the verification ID with a plurality of stored verification IDs to find a matching verification ID,
• validating use of a specific audio accessory device if a matching verification ID is found, and if one or more predetermined criteria are fulfilled.

A method of binding an audio accessory device to a computer program application, the method comprising

• generating a unique code identifying an audio accessory device,
• storing the unique code in a database comprising a number of generated unique codes,
• extracting a unique code from the database and providing the code together with the audio accessory device,
• downloading the computer program application from an application server to a user device
• entering the unique code on the user device and transmitting it to the database, verifying the code,
• if the code is valid, activating the user device application on the user device.
