Abstract
Methods and tangible computer-readable media for synchronizing a mobile device to a display via a communication network are disclosed. For example, a method receives an identification code from a display and sends a request to the communication network to establish a communication session between a mobile device and the display. The request comprises the identification code. Thereafter, the communication session is established via the communication network. Another method receives a request to establish a communication session between the mobile device and the display. The request comprises an identification code of the display that was received by the mobile device from the display. The method then establishes the communication session.
Claims20
A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining an identification code from a display, wherein the identification code comprises an image presented on the display at a rate where the image is not detectable to a human eye, wherein the image is presented in a plurality of frames, wherein the image is further presented in a different part of each frame of the plurality of frames;
- sending a request via an access network to a communication network to establish a communication session between the mobile device and the display, wherein the request comprises the identification code;
- and
- interacting with the display via the communication session once the communication session is established over the communication network, wherein the communication network provides a service for the communication session, wherein the communication network is external to the access network used by the mobile device.
A method for establishing a communication session between a mobile device and a display, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, via an access network a request to establish the communication session between the mobile device and the display, wherein the request comprises an identification code of the display, wherein the identification code was received by the mobile device from the display, wherein the identification code comprises an image presented on the display at a rate where the image is not detectable to a human eye, wherein the image is presented in a plurality of frames, wherein the image is further presented in a different part of each frame of the plurality of frames;
- and
- establishing, by the processor, the communication session via a communication network, wherein the communication network provides a service for the communication session, wherein the communication network is external to the access network used by the mobile device.
A tangible computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for establishing a communication session between a mobile device and a display, the operations comprising:
- receiving a request via an access network to establish the communication session between the mobile device and the display, wherein the request comprises an identification code of the display, wherein the identification code was received by the mobile device from the display, wherein the identification code comprises an image presented on the display at a rate where the image is not detectable to a human eye, wherein the image is presented in a plurality of frames, wherein the image is further presented in a different part of each frame of the plurality of frames;
- and
- establishing the communication session via a communication network, wherein the communication network provides a service for the communication session, wherein the communication network is external to the access network used by the mobile device.
