1. A method comprising:
- forming a secure connection between a user audio and video receiving device and a user device locator module;
communicating user identifier data to the user device locator module from the user audio and video receiving device through the secure connection;
communicating port data from the user audio and video receiving device to the user device locator module through the secure connection;
subsequent to communicating the user identifier data to the user device locator module, communicating the user identifier data from the user device locator module to an authentication server;
thereafter, authenticating the user identifier data received from the user device locator module at the authentication server to generate an authentication response;
communicating the authentication response from the authentication server to the user device locator module;
thereafter, registering the port data at the user device locator module in response to the authentication response;
thereafter, communicating partner service data from a first service provider to the user audio and video receiving device; and
communicating primary service data from a second service provider to the user audio and video receiving device.

Abstract
A system and method for communicating between a user device locator module and a user receiving device includes forming a secure connection with the user device locator module. The user receiving device communicates user identifier data and port data to the user device locator module. An authentication module authenticates the user data from the user device locator module and generates an authentication signal. The user device locator module registers the port data at the user device locator module in response to the authentication signal.

19. A system comprising:
-
a user device locator module; a user audio and video receiving device forming a secure connection with the user device locator module and communicating user identifier data and port data to the user device locator module through the secure connection; and an authentication server subsequent to the user identifier data being communicated to the user device locator module, receiving the user identifier data from the user device locator module, authenticating the user identifier data, generating an authentication response based on the authentication of the user identifier data, and communicating the authentication response to the user device locator module, wherein said user device locator module registers the port data at the user device locator module in response to the authentication response, wherein a first service provider communicates partner service data to the user audio and video receiving device; and wherein a second service provider communicates primary service data to the user audio and video receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
