Systems and methods for accessing and controlling media stored remotely
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to:
- receive, from a first communication device, a request to access a media file stored on a server;
send an authentication code to the first communication device such that the first communication device can present the authentication code to a user of the first communication device;
receive the authentication code from a second communication device; and
provide access to the media file from the first communication device based on receiving the authentication code from the second communication device.

Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a server that stores a set of media files. The server is configured to send an authentication code to a first communication device in response to a request from the first communication device to access the set of media files such that the first communication device can present the authentication code to a user. The server is configured to associate an identifier of a second communication device with the first communication device such that a user of the second communication device can authorize access to the set of media files from the first communication device by sending the authentication code to the server using the second communication device.
