System and Method for Establishing a Communication Session

摘要

A server in a communications network establishes a communication channel between a user's device and another device having a display. Particularly, the server generates a Quick Response (QR) code utilizing one or more parameters, and sends it to a device for display to a user. Using his or her device, the user captures an image of the displayed QR code and extracts the parameters using an image analysis technique. The device then sends the extracted parameters back to the server, which then utilizes them to authenticate the user and establish the communications session.

1. A method for establishing a communications session between first and second devices, the method performed at a network server and comprising:
generating a coded image for display at a first device connected to the network server, the coded image including embedded data used to authenticate a second device at the network server; sending the coded image to the first device for display to the second device; receiving, from the second device, the embedded data extracted from the displayed coded image by the second device; and authenticating the second device to perform one or more protected functions based on the received embedded data.
