  • Methods for programming a PIN that is mapped to a specific device and methods for using the PIN
    Publication number: 20080134307
    Abstract: Methods for assigning a personal information number (PIN) to a device for accessing digital services from the device are provided. One of the methods include defining a PIN for the device from a website upon confirming credentials of a user and then mapping the PIN to the device at the website. The method then includes receiving an access request from the device for digital services and forwarding the device a request to enter the PIN on the device. If the PIN entered on the device matches the PIN mapped at the website, then the PIN is activated to enable accessing the digital services from the device using the PIN without having to enter credentials of the user on the device. The device is one having a limited data entry interface. Examples of the device include mobile phones, remotes for interactive televisions, and other limited data entry computing devices.
