  • Location restricted content streaming to non-location aware devices
    Patent number: 11974011
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to deliver location restricted content to devices that do not have a location component, such as a Global Positioning System component. A location aware device may send to a content delivery service, location information determined by a location component of the location aware device and receive, from the content delivery service, an encrypted access token. The location aware device may then send the access token to a non-location aware device that is on a same local area network as the location aware device. The non-location aware device may provide the access token to the content delivery service along with a request for location restricted content. The content delivery service may use the access token provided by the non-location aware device to verify that the non-location aware device is within a defined area for which the requested location restricted content is allowed for presentation.
