Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to linking a viewing device, such as a TV, to a user's account in a server for purposes of sharing content via the TV. A viewing application on the TV allows the TV to couple with the server, which generates a pin to be displayed on the TV. Upon the user entering the pin that is displayed on the TV in a mobile application of a mobile device, the server links the TV to the account that the mobile device is linked to. The user shares content on the TV by sending commands from the mobile device to the server, which renders a screen on the TV already being viewed by the audience. Each command goes through the server rather than peer to peer. Any content that is stored in the cloud can be shared even if it is not on the mobile device.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例涉及将诸如TV的观看设备连接到服务器中的用户帐户，以便经由TV共享内容。 电视机上的观看应用程序允许电视机与服务器耦合，从而生成一个要在电视机上显示的引脚。 当用户输入在移动设备的移动应用中在TV上显示的引脚时，服务器将TV连接到移动设备链接到的帐户。 用户通过从移动设备发送命令到服务器来共享电视上的内容，这使得电视机上的屏幕已经被观众观看。 每个命令通过服务器而不是对等体。 存储在云中的任何内容都可以共享，即使它不在移动设备上。
