Voice authentication and setup for wireless media rendering system
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a second media rendering device to communicate with a first media rendering device of a media rendering system in a wireless local area network (WLAN), comprising the steps of:
- wirelessly detecting the second media rendering device of the media rendering system by the first media rendering device;
establishing a communication channel between the second media rendering device and the first media rendering device via a communication protocol proprietary to the media rendering system;
after establishing the communication channel via the proprietary communication protocol, authenticating a user of the second media rendering device, further comprising the steps of;
accessing biometric user data of a first user of the media rendering system;
recording an audio voice phrase of the user of the second media rendering device;
analyzing the audio voice phrase of the user of the second media rendering device to compare the audio voice phrase of the user of the second device to the biometric user data of the first user of the media rendering system; and
authenticating the audio voice phrase with respect to the biometric user data; and
based on the authenticating;
configuring the second media rendering device to communicate via the WLAN; and
configuring the second media rendering device to render media according to a first user profile of the first user of the media rendering system,wherein the communication channel is provided by a soft access point of the first media rendering device.

Abstract
A system and method for configuring a media rendering device of a media rendering system in a WLAN is disclosed. A second device is activated, and detected by a first device. The first and second devices establish a communication channel. The first device accesses biometric user data of a first user of the media rendering system, and records an audio voice phrase of a user of the second device. The system analyzes the audio voice phrase of the user of the second device to compare the audio voice phrase of the user of the second device to the biometric user data of the first user of the media rendering system. The system authenticates the audio voice phrase with respect to the biometric user data and configures the second device to render media according to a first user profile of the first user of the media rendering system.
