System and method for use of network services in receiving content and data
First Claim
1. A method for utilizing a network service using multiple devices, the method being performed by a first device and comprising:
- implementing an application platform that is shared with a second device to enable the first device and the second device to have a same identity to at least the network service;
providing a user interface to receive input for accessing or using the network service;
communicating input received via the user interface to the network service;
receiving a token from the network service in response to communicating the input;
communicating a first set of data items from the first device to the second device to enable the second device to access and use the network service while appearing as the first device to the network service, the first set of data items including the token and two or more identifiers used by the first device to access the network service, wherein the two or more identifiers include a machine identifier and a cookie associated with the first device; and
communicating a set of links from the first device to the second device, wherein each link in the set of links identifies a second set of data items for retrieving corresponding media files from the network service in accordance with one or more rules associated with the network service.

Abstract
A first device implements an application platform that is shared with a second device. The application platform can be implemented so that the first device and the second device operate to have a same identity to at least the network service. The first device provides a user interface in order to receive input for accessing or using the network service. Additionally, the first device communicates input received in response to providing the user interface to the network service. The first device can receive a token from the network service in response to communicating the input. Additionally, the first device can communicate a set of data items to the second device. The set of data items includes the token and one or more identifiers that enable the second device to access and use the network service while appearing as the first device to the network service.

9. A method for utilizing a network service using multiple devices, the method being performed by a playback device and comprising:
-
implementing an application platform that is shared with a user interface device to enable the playback device and the user interface device to have a same identity to at least the network service; communicating with the user interface device to receive a first set of data items, from the user interface device, that enable the playback device to access and use the network service while appearing as the user interface device, the first set of data items including a token communicated by the network service to the user interface device and two or more identifiers that are used by the user interface device to access the network service, wherein the two or more identifiers include a machine identifier and a cookie associated with the user interface device; communicating with the user interface device to receive a set of links from the user interface device, wherein each link in the set of links identifies a second set of data items for retrieving corresponding media files from the network service in accordance with one or more rules associated with the network service; and accessing the network service using the first set of data items and the set of links received from the user interface device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to; implement an application platform that is shared with a second device to enable the computing device and the second device to have a same identity to at least the network service; provide a user interface to receive input for accessing or using the network service; communicate input received via the user interface to the network service; receive a token from the network service in response to communicating the input; communicate a first set of data items from the computing device to the second device to enable the second device to access and use the network service while appearing as the computing device to the network service, the first set of data items including the token and two or more identifiers used by the computing device to access the network service, wherein the two or more identifiers include a machine identifier and a cookie associated with the computing device; and communicate a set of links from the computing device to the second device, wherein each link in the set of links identifies a second set of data items for retrieving corresponding media files from the network service in accordance with one or more rules associated with the network service. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
