SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A SEPARATE DEVICE TO FACILITATE AUTHENTICATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server comprising a processor, a request from a mobile communication device of a user to allow user access to an application program of a separate device, wherein the request is received by way of a first network;
forwarding, by the server, a token to the separate device by way of a second network, to obtain a separate device token, and forwarding, by the server, the token to the mobile communication device by way of the first network to obtain a mobile communication device token, wherein the mobile communication device forwards the mobile communication device token to the separate device by way of a third network;
determining, by the server, a result of a comparison between the separate device token and the mobile communication device token;
confirming, by the server, that the mobile communication device token was received at the separate device, based on the result of the comparison indicating a match between the mobile communication device token and the separate device token; and
authorizing, by the server, access to the application program of the separate device in response to the confirming that the mobile device token was received at the separate device.

Abstract
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, operations including receiving a request from a first device to access information content of a second device. The process further includes forwarding a token to the second device by way of a second wireless network, to obtain a second device token, and forwarding the token to the first device by way of the first network to obtain a first device token, wherein the first device forwards the first device token to the second device by way of a third network. A confirmation that the token was received at the first device is based on the result of the comparison indicating a match between the first device token and the second device token. Access to the information content of the second device is authorized in response to the confirmation. Other embodiments are disclosed.

12. A system comprising:
-
a server comprising a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising; receiving, by way of a first network, a request from a mobile communication device of a user to provide user access to an application program of a another device; forwarding a token to the another device by way of a second network, to obtain another device token, and forwarding the token to the mobile communication device by way of the first network to obtain a mobile communication device token, wherein the mobile communication device forwards the mobile communication device token to the another device by way of a third network; determining, by the server, a result of a comparison between the another device token and the mobile communication device token; confirming that the token was received at the mobile communication device, based on the result of the comparison indicating a match between the mobile communication device token and the another device token; and authorizing access to the application program of the another device in response to the confirming that the mobile device token was received at the another device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
receiving a request from a first device of a user, by way of a first wireless network, to access information content of a second device; forwarding a token to the second device by way of a second wireless network, to obtain a second device token, and forwarding the token to the first device by way of the first network to obtain a first device token, wherein the first device forwards the first device token to the second device by way of a third network; determining a result of a comparison between the second device token and the first device token; confirming that the token was received at the first device based on the result of the comparison indicating a match between the first device token and the second device token; and authorizing access to the information content of the second device in response to confirming that the token was received at the first device, wherein the second device comprises a remotely pilotable vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
