A printer includes a communication interface and a controller. The controller is configured to: in response to determining that an access condition is satisfied, acquire access information, access a server via the communication interface based on the acquired access information, and receive instruction data transmitted from the server, the instruction data being data indicating a process, the instruction data being configured to indicate data used in the printer; and in response to determining that the received instruction data is instruction data indicating a download setup process and that the received instruction data indicates setup data used for the download setup process, execute the download setup process, the download setup process being a process of downloading, via the communication interface, the setup data indicated in the instruction data and setting up the printer by using the downloaded setup data.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a partnership configuration engine. In examples, a configuration engine may maintain configuration information associated with one or more providers for which a partnership service provides computing functionality. For example, a partnership service may provide a website, generate electronic communications, and/or perform data processing associated with a third-party provider. The configuration engine may maintain a set of configuration items associated with such a third-party provider, such that functionality of the partnership service is configured accordingly. Thus, as a result of maintaining such configuration information, the partnership service may be configured to provide functionality for any number of providers. Further, data duplication may be reduced and complexity may be reduced as a result of such a configuration information repository.

A computing system is configured to execute a computer program on a server and to provide a video stream of the program output to a geographically remote client over a communication network. The computing system is further configured to provide executable content of the computer program to the client over the communication network in parallel with the video stream. When a sufficient amount of the executable content has been provided to the client execution of the computer program is transitioned from the server to the client. The transition optionally includes communicating a state of the computer program from the server to the client. The executable content can be provided to the client in an order that is determined based on the state of the computer program. Those parts of the executable content deemed most likely to be necessary to support game play on the client are given priority.

A computer-implemented method for transferring data is provided. In an illustrative embodiment, the method includes retrieving, by a computer, an original dataset to be sent from a sender to a receiver. The method also includes generating, by the computer, a model based on at least a subset of the original dataset. The model generates a predicted dataset. The model is selected from a plurality of model types based on data complexity of the original dataset and a desired level of approximation of the predicted dataset to the original dataset. The method also includes transferring, by the computer, the model to the receiver. The receiver uses the model to generate the predicted dataset, wherein the predicted dataset matches the original dataset to a selected degree of approximation. Transfer of the model is quicker than transfer of the original dataset.

Techniques for transferring virtual machines and resource management in a virtualized computing environment are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, at least one processor, and logic for transferring a virtual machine (VM), at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory and the at least one processor, the logic to generate a plurality of virtualized capability registers for a virtual device (VDEV) by virtualizing a plurality of device-specific capability registers of a physical device to be virtualized by the VM, the plurality of virtualized capability registers comprising a plurality of device-specific capabilities of the physical device, determine a version of the physical device to support via a virtual machine monitor (VMM), and expose a subset of the virtualized capability registers associated with the version to the VM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An apparatus and method for joining an Internet of Things (IoT) network are provided, the apparatus including a communicator configured to receive, from an electronic device, an encrypted auto-onboard configuration data associated with the IoT network, a sensor configured to detect a user command, and at least one processor configured to generate a decryption key based on features extracted from the user command, decrypt the encrypted auto-onboard configuration data using the decryption key, and join the IoT network.

A data processing method and apparatus are disclosed. The data processing method includes: receiving, by a first edge computing node in an edge computing cluster, a container image update instruction; obtaining, by the first edge computing node, a to-be-updated container image; and sending, by the first edge computing node, the to-be-updated container image to another edge computing node in the edge computing cluster. The first edge computing node is an edge computing node in the edge computing cluster, the edge computing cluster includes at least two edge computing nodes, and the container image update instruction is used to instruct the at least two edge computing nodes in the edge computing cluster to update a container image. In this way, the time required for downloading the container image is reduced.

A method for mitigating errors in the transportation of configuration data may include identifying, at a development system, dependent configuration data associated with a first transport request. The dependent configuration data may implement a customization to a software application hosted at a production system. A reference table identifying the dependent configuration data may be sent to the production system. A missing object list identifying dependent configuration data absent from the production system may be generated at the production system based on the reference table. The missing object list may be sent to the development system where a corrective action may be performed such that the dependent configuration data identified by the missing object list as being absent from the production system is sent to the production system in the first transport request and/or a second transport request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Described are methods, systems and computer readable media for dynamic updating of query result displays.

A method includes creating a package of an application, registering the package with an orchestrator, triggering instantiation of the application in the orchestrator, generating initial configuration files for the instantiation of the application, changing an application state of the application to a planned state, changing the application state to a Keycloak state in response to obtaining client identification of the Keycloak information for the application, changing the application state to an instantiated state in response to deploying the application on the set of target servers, changing the application state to a configured state in response applying daily configuration files to perform daily configuration of the application in the set of target servers, and changing the application state to a monitored state in response to monitoring the application in the set of target servers by an observability framework tool.
