One or more machine learning models are trained to search an image database to find images that are visually similar to images of cut keys, and a key blank identification system, which utilizes the trained machine learning models, is provided to a user. The user uploads one or more images of a cut key, the trained machine learning models identify one or more key blank part numbers that match with the cut key images, and the results are presented to the user. The user provides feedback relating to the accuracy of the results, and the feedback data is incorporated into the trained machine learning model to refine the model.

Disclosed herein is a method (200) for monitoring an operation of a key-cutting machine (102) and for restricting unauthorized use of the key-cutting machine. The method includes determining, by an Internet of Things (IoT) device (112) in communication with the key- cutting machine, usage metrics of the key-cutting machine. The method includes transmitting, by the IoT device, the determined usage metrics to a user device (114) in response to the determination. The method includes receiving, at the IoT device, a control command from the user device based on detecting an abnormal current in the key-cutting machine, reaching a predefined usage duration of the at least one machine component, determining that a scheduled payment for the key-cutting machine is overdue, identifying that an unauthorized machine component is present within the key-cutting machine, or determining that usage tips are to be provided on the user device to operate the key-cutting machine.

The invention relates to a method for decoding an insert (1, 20, 40) provided with a pattern (4, 5, 25, 45), said method being carried out by means of an electronic system (100) provided with a screen (101) and having specific software for decoding inserts (1, 20, 40), characterised in that it comprises the following steps: - a step of using as input data a file containing an image of the insert (1, 20, 40) in the software so as to display said image in a specific area (102) of the screen (101) where a grid of lines appears which is then superimposed on said image; - a step of selecting certain intersection points (110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115) between the lines (103, 104) of the grid and a contour of the pattern (4, 5, 25, 45) of the insert (1, 20, 30); - a step of restitution by the electronic system (100) of a code comprising a plurality of components (116), each corresponding to the location of a particular intersection point (110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115).

Disclosed is a method for recognizing a bitting code of a key. The method comprises: using a back light source and / or a lateral light source to collect an image of a key to be recognized; and recognizing, on the basis of the image, a bitting code of the key to be recognized. Further disclosed are an apparatus for recognizing a bitting code of a key, and a storage medium and an image collection device. The present disclosure can improve the efficiency of recognizing a bitting code of a key and reduce the wear of the key during a recognition process.

Electronic key duplicating machine (1), preferably of the professional or semi- professional type, comprising: - a support structure (10), - an operational front area (2) which is accessible by the operator, - at least one milling and / or cutting device (11) of a key, said device comprising: ▪ a chuck (26), which is positioned inside said operational front area (2), for the removable mounting of at least one milling and / or cutting tool (15) of a key, ▪ a motor, preferably of the electric type, for driving in rotation said milling and / or cutting tool (15) when it is mounted on said chuck (26), and characterized in that it comprises a recognition device which is configured to recognize a milling and / or cutting tool (15) of the milling and / or cutting device (11), said recognition device comprising a first communication module (51) which is mounted on board the machine (1) and which is configured to receive or exchange signals via wireless with a second communication module (52) which is mounted on the milling and / or cutting tool (15).
