PAIRING A MEDIA SERVER AND A MEDIA CLIENT
First Claim
1. A method for generating, at a media processing device, a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to enable the media processing device to pair with a media server, the method comprising:
- at the media processing device;
identifying, over one or more networks, that the media server is available for pairing;
displaying, within the GUI, a first code for pairing with the media server;
receiving a message from the media server, wherein the message includes a second code that is input by a user at the media server;
determining whether the second code corresponds to the first code;
when the second code corresponds to the first code;
pairing with the media server, anddownloading, from the media server, a summary of at least a portion of media content managed by the media server; and
when the second code does not correspond to the first code;
ignoring the message.

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.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor included in a media processing device, cause the media processing device to carry out steps that include:
-
identifying, over one or more networks, that the media server is available for pairing; displaying, within the GUI, a first code for pairing with the media server; receiving a message from the media server, wherein the message includes a second code that is input by a user at the media server; determining whether the second code corresponds to the first code; when the second code corresponds to the first code; pairing with the media server, and downloading, from the media server, a summary of at least a portion of media content managed by the media server; and when the second code does not correspond to the first code; ignoring the message. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for pairing a media processing device to a media server, the system comprising:
-
a media processing device, comprising; a storage device; a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the media processing device to carry out steps that include; identifying, over one or more networks, that the media server is available for pairing; displaying, within a graphical user interface (GUI), a first code for pairing with the media server; receiving a message from the media server, wherein the message includes a second code that is input by a user at the media server; determining whether the second code corresponds to the first code; when the second code corresponds to the first code; pairing with the media server, and downloading, from the media server, a summary of at least a portion of media content managed by the media server; and when the second code does not correspond to the first code; ignoring the message; and a media server, comprising; a storage device; a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the media server to carry out steps that include; in response to a request for pairing, receiving, via user input, the second code; sending, via the message, the second to the media processing device; receiving an indication from the media processing device that the second code corresponds to the first code; and sending the summary of the at least a portion of the media content to the media processing device that is available for download. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
