  • Subscription service for authorizing access to media content
    Patent number: 10080048
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for automatically providing subscriber authentication and authorization services. For example, a subscription service communicates with an identity service provider to authenticate subscribers requesting video content from programmers and a payment service provider to confirm that authenticated subscribers are authorized to receive the content. The subscription service receives a media request for a programmer to provide media content to a subscriber device. The media request includes subscriber information for a subscriber associated with the subscriber device. The subscription service transmits the subscriber information to an identity service provider and receives the subscriber's authentication status from the identity service provider. The subscription service sends an entitlement check request to a payment service provider to determine whether the subscriber is authorized to access the content.
