Abstract:
In a method for identifying a user in a network of broadcast communication receivers, a physical characteristic of a user is analyzed in association with the user accessing a first of the receivers. First biometric information based on the characteristic as analyzed in association with the user accessing the first receiver is generated. Data associated with use of the first receiver by the user is also generated and associated with the first biometric information. The physical characteristic of the user is then analyzed in association with the user accessing a second receiver. Second biometric information based on the physical characteristic as analyzed in association with the user accessing the second receiver is generated. The first and second biometric information are then compared. If the first and second biometric information indicate the physical characteristic of the same user, the data is employed in conjunction with the user accessing the second receiver.

Claim (Index 1):
method for identifying a user in a network of at least a first communication receiver and a second communication receiver, the method comprising:\n acquiring biometric information from the user by a first communication receiver when the user accesses the first communication receiver; analyzing the biometric information to identify a physical characteristic of the user in association with the user accessing the first communication receiver; generating first biometric information based on the analyzed physical characteristic; generating data, wherein the data is associated with account information maintained with a service provider that authorizes the user to receive content from the service provider; associating the data with the first biometric information; communicating the first biometric information in conjunction with the data to the second communication receiver; analyzing, at the second communication receiver, the physical characteristic of the user in association with the user accessing the second communication receiver; generating, at the second communication receiver, second biometric information based on the physical characteristic as analyzed in association with the user accessing the second communication receiver; comparing, at the second communication receiver, the second biometric information with the first biometric information; and if the first and second biometric information indicate the physical characteristic of the same user, the method further comprising: receiving the content from the service provider at the second communication receiver based on the data associated with the account information maintained with the service provider.
