Abstract
A machine or group of machines for dual authentication include a processor configured to receive a user credential and a content fingerprint. The processor is configured to identify content associated with the content fingerprint, verify the user credential is authorized to access the content associated with the content fingerprint, and transmit an authorization to stream content associated with the user credential and the content fingerprint.
Claims20
A machine or group of machines for dual authentication, comprising:
- a processor configured to receive:
- a user credential;
- automatic content recognition (ACR) data based on an audiovisual property of a media content stream, wherein the ACR data is associated with a device identifier;
- and
- a reference representation associated with media content;
- the processor configured to:
- verify the user credential and the device identifier are associated with a consumer authorized to access the media content;
- synchronize the ACR data with the reference representation;
- identify a content fingerprint associated with the synchronized ACR data;
- verify the content fingerprint is associated with the media content the consumer is authorized to access;
- and
- thereafter, transmit an authorization to continue streaming the media content associated with the user credential and the content fingerprint.
