Abstract

Disclosed is an authentication method, including: acquiring authentication data recorded in an audio-visual product using a player and sending the authentication data to a mobile communication device; sending the authentication data to an authentication server using the mobile communication device; authenticating the authentication data using the authentication server to acquire the authentication result; and sending the authentication result to the player using the mobile communication device. Further provided are a player, a mobile communication device, an authentication server and an authentication system. By way of the above method, the technical solution provided in the present invention can provide reliable copyright protection for audio-visual products.

Claims

1-13. -13. (canceled)

14. A player for rendering an audio-visual product, comprising:

an authentication data acquisition module adapted to acquire authentication data from an audio-visual product; and

a transceiving module adapted to transmit the authentication data to a mobile communication device and receive an authentication result from the mobile communication device.

15. The player according to claim 14, wherein the player further comprises a first data processing module adapted to integrate the authentication data into a first data packet of a first data format, the first data packet of the first data format comprising Segment “

Frame Begin”

, Segment “

Add”

, Segment “

Type”

, Segment “

LEN”

, Segment “

Data”

, Segment “

CRC”

, and Segment “

Frame End”

, wherein Segment “

Data”

includes the authentication data or a control command.

16. A mobile communication device, comprising:

a first transceiving module adapted to receive authentication data from a player; and

a second wireless transceiving module adapted to transmit the authentication data to an authentication server and receive an authentication result from the authentication server, which authentication result is then transmitted from the first transceiving module to the player.

17. The mobile communication device according to claim 16, further comprising a second data processing module adapted to integrate the authentication data into a TCP data packet.

18. An authentication server, comprising:

a wireless transceiving module adapted to receive from a mobile communication device authentication data associated with an audio-visual product in a player; and

an authentication module adapted to authenticate the authentication data to provide an authentication result;

wherein the wireless transceiving module is further adapted to transmit the authentication result to the mobile communication device.

19. An authentication system, comprising a player, a mobile communication device and the authentication server according to claim 18:

the player for rendering an audio-visual product, comprising;

an authentication data acquisition module adapted to acquire authentication data from an audio-visual product;

a transceiving module adapted to transmit the authentication data to the mobile communication device and receive an authentication result from the mobile communication device;

the mobile communication device, comprising;

a first transceiving module adapted to receive the authentication data from the player;

a second wireless transceiving module adapted to transmit the authentication data to the authentication server and receive an authentication result from the authentication server, which authentication result is then transmitted from the first transceiving module to the player;

wherein the authentication server authenticates the authentication data received from the mobile communication device to provide the authentication result; and

the authentication server transmits the authentication result to the mobile communication device, which forwards the authentication result to the player.

20. The authentication system according to claim 19, wherein the player further comprises a first data processing module adapted to integrate the authentication result into a first data packet of a first data format, the first data packet of the first data format comprising Segment “
