SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEVERAGING EXISTING DEVICE PAIRING AND INTERNET LOGIN RECORDS BETWEEN MEDIA SERVER AND HSIA CONTROLLER TO FACILITATE CROSS-SERVICE ACCESS BY MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

A media server receives network traffic from a first mobile device, queries a login database of an HSIA controller to determine whether the first mobile device is logged in for Internet access, and, when determining that the first mobile device is logged in for Internet access, causes a media device to play media content controlled according to the first mobile device. The HSIA controller receives network traffic from a second mobile device on the local area network, queries the pairing database of the media server in order to determine whether the second mobile device is paired with any of the media devices coupled to the media server, and, when determining that the second mobile device is paired with at least one of the media devices, reconfigures an access controller between the local area network and the Internet to allow the second mobile device to access the Internet.
