Abstract
In some embodiments a pairing system is configured to obtain first fingerprint data from a media playback device operating on a first network and second fingerprint data from a mobile device operation on the second network. The pairing system can, based on the fingerprint data, determine whether to pair the media playback device on the first network to the mobile device on the second network. The first and second fingerprint data may be generated during an interaction between the media playback device and the mobile device. In one embodiment, the pairing system creates a data conduit for connecting the media playback device on the first network to the mobile device on the second network.
