Provided are a service providing device, a service providing method, and a service providing program that can achieve both improvement in service quality and enhancement in operational efficiency. A service providing device is a service providing device that provides services including a service for printing an image on a recording medium, the service providing device including: a plurality of printers each having an independent accommodating mechanism for the recording medium; and a processor that selects at least one printer such that a condition having relatively high priority among a plurality of predetermined conditions for selecting the printers is satisfied.

A computer-implemented method for secure processing of a usage key or transfer of a usage key between a server and a data processing device, the usage key encodable to execute a cryptographic operation comprises: receiving, at the data processing device, the usage key encrypted according to a transportation encryption algorithm; processing, at the data processing device, the encrypted usage key with a modified version of a decryption routine of the transportation encryption algorithm, wherein the modified version of the decryption routine is such that it returns a modified version of the usage key, different from the usage key; and converting, at the data processing device, the modified version of the usage key into an encoding of the usage key, the encoding of the usage key operable to execute the cryptographic operation using the encoding of the usage key

A power scrubber comprising a power head receiving power from a power source; and a drive coupled to and driven by the power head, the drive extending along a longitudinal axis, the drive including a connector for selectively engaging a working tool, the connector including, an external lobe protruding radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis, and a locking mechanism angled in a rotational direction about the longitudinal axis and extending at least partially along the longitudinal axis, the locking mechanism being configured to couple the drive with a brush having a corresponding locking mechanism.

A wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, comprising a processor configured to: receive an indication from a serving transmission reception point (TRP) to perform random access on a neighbor TRP; send a random access preamble to the neighbor TRP based on the indication from the serving TRP; receive a random access response from the neighbor TRP, wherein the random access response comprises an indication of timing advance; determine that a triggering condition is met for performing autonomous handover to the neighbor TRP; determine whether configured uplink resources in the neighbor TRP are still valid; and on condition that the configure uplink resources are still valid in the neighbor TRP, send an indication of the autonomous handover to the neighbor TRP via the uplink resources.

A computer-implemented method of controlling the upload of media content comprises: generating a fingerprint, based on received media content, by applying a trained fingerprint generation neural network to the media content, the trained fingerprint generation neural network comprising: an encoder configured to generate an embedding of the media content, the encoder comprising a plurality of encoder layers, each comprising a respective plurality of nodes taking respective values; and one or more additional layers, the one or more additional layers comprising the embedding, each additional layer of the one or more additional layers comprising a respective plurality of nodes taking respective values, wherein the fingerprint comprises a vector comprising the values of a plurality of nodes from the one or more additional layers; accessing a database of reference fingerprints, each reference fingerprint generated based on a respective item of media content; determining whether the generated fingerprint meets a similarity criterion, wherein meeting the similarity criterion is indicative of the generated fingerprint being similar to one or more of the reference fingerprints; and in response to a determination that the generated fingerprint meets the similarity criterion, generating an alert and/or preventing upload of the media content to an upload platform. Corresponding system, platforms, computer programs and computer program products are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to securing a communication connection, in particular, the present disclosure relates to forcing encryption over a communication connection between two communication nodes. There may be a need for securing a communication connection between two communication nodes, for example by end-to-end encryption and also for securing a communication connection between two communication nodes in a transparent and communication node independent manner. Accordingly, there is provided an end point device (100) for transmitting data, comprising a first data interface (110a), a second data interface (110b), wherein data received at the first data interface (110a) is transmitted to the second data interface (110b), wherein data received at the second data interface (110b) is transmitted to the first data interface (110a), wherein at least one of the first data interface (110a) and the second data interface (110b) is arranged for establishing a communication connection to an external device, a processing element (112) arranged to encrypt and decrypt data, wherein data received at the first data interface (110a) is encrypted before transmitting onwards from the second data interface (110b), wherein data received at the second data interface (110b) is decrypted before transmitting onwards from the first data interface (110a), and wherein the processing element (112) is arranged for symmetric encryption and decryption.

The present invention provides an IoT system and a control method therefor. The IoT system comprises a battery pack provided with a connecting terminal and wireless communication module, a terminal device and an electronic device. The battery pack is configured to be capable of establishing an electrical connection and communication connection with the terminal device, and by means of the wireless communication module, can issue broadcast information comprising identity information of the terminal device. The electronic device is configured to be capable of receiving broadcast information, and can operably establish a wireless connection with the battery pack. The electronic device is further configured to be capable, in a state of having established a wireless connection, of storing identity information of the terminal device, and in a state of the wireless connection being broken, on the basis of the identity information in the received broadcast information matching the stored identity information, automatically establishes a wireless connection with the battery pack which issues broadcast information. According to the present invention, in a scenario in which a battery pack is replaced frequently, the electronic device is capable of automatically, by means of the replaced battery pack, wirelessly connecting to the terminal device connected to the battery pack.

A method, system, processing circuitry, and computer program product for determining whether at least one version of a video stream is permitted to be streamed to a device by comparing (a) a received set of device characteristics corresponding to the device and (b) a set of permitted device characteristics for the video stream to be streamed. The received set of device characteristics can be used to assign a device to one of plural device classes, and the at least one version of the video stream to be streamed may be determined based on the assigned device class.
