Abstract: An access point apparatus, a control apparatus and a method are defined for connecting a guest device to a wireless network according to a device provisioning protocol, DPP. A guest channel and an administrative channel are utilised in order to ensure separation of the wireless network, such that the guest device is never connected to the administrative channel. The administrative channel is used by the control apparatus to fetch guest connection information from the access point apparatus, which is then communicated to the guest device. The guest device then uses this information to facilitate the connection to the wireless network via the guest channel.

In particular, the embodiment aims to reduce overall onboarding time for a plurality of enrollee devices by controlling enrollment of the enrollee devices based on the status (e.g. availability, readiness, workload, etc.) of the configurator device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for generating a training set of data for training a classifier relating to a physiological condition. The method begins by obtaining a first set of data relating to a first plurality of subjects and a second set of data relating to a second plurality of subjects, wherein each of the first set of data and the second set of data are grouped into a plurality of subsets of data, wherein the plurality of subsets of data is associated with a plurality of features. Descriptive statistics are calculated for each of the plurality of subsets of data within the first set of data and one or more features within the plurality of features is selected based on the calculated descriptive statistics to generate a search criterion. A supplementary set of data is identified from the second set of data by applying the search criterion to the second set of data. The training data set is then compiled based on the first set of data and the supplementary set of data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to digital rights management. A method for managing rights transfer of using digital content from a first device (120) to a second device (130) is proposed, comprising generating at an authentication device (110) a first authentication dataset C by encrypting a first verification code R1 using at least one public key for at least one device blacklisted by the authentication device (110). The first authentication dataset C and a second verification code R2 are provided from the authentication device 110 to the first device (120) and a response message M is returned from the second device (130) to the authentication device (110). The method also comprises verifying validity of the second device (130) at the authentication device (110) based on the received response message M. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the DRM protected digital content can be shared with high security, while the recipient is kept anonymous to the DRM server.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for managing a transaction right in a digital rights management server. The transaction right is the right to a transaction of a utilization right of a digital content item. The method comprises steps of obtaining an attribute associated with the digital content item from metadata of the digital content item; and generating the transaction right on the basis of a pre-stored rule and the attribute of the digital content item. Since the transaction right is generated on the basis of the attribute of the digital content item, or in other words, the transaction right is dependent on the attribute of the digital content item, the generated transaction right of digital content items can be different if the corresponding attribute associated with the digital content items are different. Furthermore, in additional to the metadata, the generation of the transaction right only requires the pre-stored rule, resulting in affordable complexity and cost.
