METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PAIRING A TERMINAL AND A USER ACCOUNT
First Claim
1. A method for pairing a terminal, referred to as terminal to be paired, and a user account for a service implemented by at least one device connected to a first communication network, said terminal to be paired being connected via a second communication network to a gateway that interconnects the first and second communication networks by performed an address translation by means of a public address routable over the first communication network, wherein said device performs steps of:
- obtaining said public address;
detecting an access to said user account, said access being performed from another terminal, distinct from the terminal to be paired;
obtaining the address of said other terminal routable over said first communication network; and
pairing the terminal to be paired and said user account, when the address of said other terminal coincides with said obtained public address.

Abstract
A pairing must be performed between a terminal, referred to as terminal to be paired, and a user account for a service implemented by at least one device connected to a first communication network. The terminal to be paired is connected via a second communication network to a gateway which interconnects the first and second communication networks by performing an address translation by means of a public address routable on the first communication network. A pairing device performs steps: of obtaining (3.2) said public address; of detecting (3.4) an access to said user account, said access being performed from another terminal (1.2), distinct from the terminal to be paired; of obtaining (3.5) the address of said other terminal; of pairing (3.6) the terminal to be paired and said user account if the address of said other terminal coincides with said public address.

7. A pairing device adapted to pair a terminal, referred to as terminal to be paired, and a user account for a service, said pairing device being connected to a first communication network, said terminal to be paired being connected via a second communication network to a gateway that interconnects the first and second communication networks by performing an address translation by means of a public address routable over the first communication network, wherein said pairing device comprises:
-
means for obtaining said public address; means for obtaining the address, routable over said first communication network, of another terminal, distinct from the terminal to be paired, from which an access is performed to said user account; and pairing means for pairing the terminal to be paired and said user account, said pairing means being implemented when the address of said other terminal coincides with said obtained public address.

12. Storage means storing a computer program comprising instructions for implementing, by a device using a service and when said program is executed by a processor of said device, a method for pairing a terminal, referred to as terminal to be paired, and a user account for a service implemented by at least one device connected to a first communication network, said terminal to be paired being connected via a second communication network to a gateway that interconnects the first and second communication networks by performed an address translation by means of a public address routable over the first communication network, wherein said method comprises steps of:
-
obtaining said public address; detecting an access to said user account, said access being performed from another terminal, distinct from the terminal to be paired; obtaining the address of said other terminal routable over said first communication network; and pairing the terminal to be paired and said user account, when the address of said other terminal coincides with said obtained public address.
