Methods for registration with a server of a multimedia data delivery system and apparatuses for implementing the same

A method for registration with a server of a multimedia data delivery system, the method comprising, by a user device of the multimedia data delivery system,

• transmitting, by a client configured on the user device, to the server, a request for multimedia data, the request comprising a network address of the client;
• receiving, by the client, from a server configured on the server device, data comprising a client identifier;
• receiving, by the client, from the server, multimedia data through which the client identifier is obtainable by using the user device through playing the multimedia data by a multimedia player configured on the user device;
• and
• playing, by the multimedia player configured on the user device, the multimedia data.

An apparatus, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the apparatus is configured to perform a method for registration with a server of a multimedia data delivery system, the method comprising, by the server:

• receiving, from a first client configured on a first user device of the multimedia data delivery system, a request for multimedia data, the request comprising a network address of the first client;
• generating a client identifier based on data comprised in the received request;
• generating multimedia data through which the client identifier is obtainable by using the first user device through playing the multimedia data by a multimedia player configured on the first user device, and transmitting the multimedia data to the first user device;
• receiving, by the server, from a second client configured on a second user device, a request for registration with the server, wherein the request for registration comprises an acquired client identifier;
• and
• determining whether registration with the server is successful based on the client identifier and the acquired client identifier.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions which, when executed, causes an apparatus comprising a processor operatively coupled with a memory, for registration with a server of a multimedia data delivery system, the method comprising, by the server:

• receiving, from a first client configured on a first user device of the multimedia data delivery system, a request for multimedia data, the request comprising a network address of the first client;
• generating a client identifier based on data comprised in the received request;
• generating multimedia data through which the client identifier is obtainable by using the first user device through playing the multimedia data by a multimedia player configured on the first user device, and transmitting the multimedia data to the first user device;
• receiving, by the server, from a second client configured on a second user device, a request for registration with the server, wherein the request for registration comprises an acquired client identifier;
• and
• determining whether registration with the server is successful based on the client identifier and the acquired client identifier.
