First Claim
1. A method performed by a media client, comprising:
- entering a pairing mode;
generating a first code for pairing with a media server;
receiving a second code from the media server;
determining if the first code corresponds to the second code; and

Abstract
A system for use in presenting media content includes a media server configured to provide media content and a media client configured to obtain the media content from the media server and to present the media content on a device. The media client is configured to generate a first code and to transmit information to the media server. The information identifies the media client and the information indicates that the media client is available for pairing. The media server is configured to reply to the information with a second code that corresponds to the first code in order to enable pairing between the media server and the media client.

19. A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier, the computer program product comprising instructions that are executable by a media client to:
-
enter a pairing mode; generate a first code for pairing with a media server; receive a second code from the media server; determine if the first code corresponds to the second code; and pair with the media server if the first code corresponds to the second code. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

30. A media client configured to communicate with a media server in order to receive media content, the media client comprising:
-
memory to store instructions for execution; and a processing device to execute the instructions in order to pair with the media server and to present the media content for display, wherein the instructions cause the processing device to; generate a first code; receive a second code from the media server; pair the media client with the media server if the first code corresponds to the second code; and exchange communications with the media server following pairing. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
